Employee performance in the water and sanitation sector is crucial for ensuring the
effective delivery of essential services to communities. This study investigates the
impacts of motivation on employee performance within this sector, focusing on
Homabay Water and Sanitation Services (HOMAWASCO), Homa Bay County,
Kenya. The research objectives are to determine the effects of rewards, incentives, and
the nature of work on employee performance. Through a mixed-methods approach
involving surveys, interviews, and data analysis, the study examines the perceptions
and experiences of employees working in water and sanitation services at
HOMAWASCO.
The findings reveal that motivation significantly influences employee performance in
this sector. Rewards, including monetary incentives and non-monetary recognition, are
found to positively impact employee motivation and performance. Incentive programs,
such as performance-based bonuses and career advancement opportunities, also play
a crucial role in driving employee engagement and productivity. Furthermore, the
nature of work, characterized by factors such as task variety, autonomy, and
complexity, is identified as a key determinant of employee satisfaction and
performance.
These findings contribute to the existing literature on motivation and employee
performance in the context of water and sanitation services, providing insights for
policymakers, managers, and practitioners in the field. The study suggests the
importance of implementing comprehensive motivational strategies that encompass
rewards, incentives, and considerations for the nature of work to enhance employee
engagement and performance. By prioritizing employee motivation and well-being,
organizations can create a conducive work environment that fosters productivity,
innovation, and sustainability in the water and sanitation sector.
