Bachelor's thesis

Abstract:

The objective of the following thesis lies in assessing the role of pecuniary awards or incentive on the work satisfaction and the general perception of work on the example of a relatively middle-sized firm with approximately 800 employees based in Dushanbe, Tajikistan. In order to reach the aforementioned objectives, the author tests the total number of nine different hypotheses related mainly to satisfaction, attitude to work and gender. In order to reach the objectives mentioned above, the author uses various techniques which can primarily be categorized as quantitative. To be more specific, the author focuses on primary data collected with the help of a survey with the total of 119 participants’ answers being recorded out of the total of 800 employees. The author collected the dataset in summer of 2022. After collecting data, the author proceeds to the hypothesis testing, where he uses the Chi-square test. The author uses the application called SPSS, which generates contingency tables and calculates chi-square values and conducting hypothesis testing. To conclude, the author is able to highlight one of the most important findings made by him – in fact, the role that incentives play for worker’s satisfaction and perception of working processes is likely to be strong as it was revealed in the hypothesis testing conducted by the author. Yet, the author believes that the ongoing situation is explained by the fact that the corporate structure and generally corporate culture of the country is just on its first steps of development with the economy just opening its doors to international companies after the long-lasting economic crisis caused by the civil war of the 90s.
