The test retest method was used for the reliability test. The result gave a reliability coefficient of 73% which indicated an acceptable degree of consistency. Data collected were presented in tables using frequency and percentages. The Pearson product moment correlation coefficient was used to test the hypotheses and T-test for test of significance at 0.05 was adopted to equally estimate for the significance of the coefficient and to ascertain whether the claim of the null or alternative hypothesis would still remain valid after the test. The result shows that there is a significant relationship between monetary incentives and workers performance. The study therefore recommended that incentives preferences of employees should be considered in the distribution of reward types to deserving employees for maximum employee performance.
