Financial incentives and work engagement of sales clerks in selected shopping malls in Davao City

Abstract

Financial incentives are practically playing a role in employees' work engagement. This study determined a significant relationship between financial incentives and employees' work engagement through a correlational quantitative non-experimental research design. The respondents were the 100 employees from selected shopping malls, using convenient sampling procedures. Furthermore, adapted survey questionnaires were used to determine employees' financial incentives and work engagement levels. The Mean and Pearson r was the statistical tools used in the study. Results revealed that the level of financial incentives and work engagement of shopping mall employees is high. The result showed a significant relationship between bonuses, profit sharing, and work engagement indicators but no significant relationship with a salary increase. Thus, it is recommended that a promising scheme of annual midyear bonuses and profit shares be implemented to promote employees' work engagement.
