The study's objective is to examine the impact of motivation on employee performance in
local non-governmental organizations in Mogadishu, Somalia, and it offers valuable insights
into the efficacy of both financial and non-financial incentives. The study ensured a
representative and statistically significant dataset by employing a quantitative research
design and utilizing a sample of 105 employees selected through simple random sampling.
Using structured questionnaires for data collection, coupled with advanced analytical tools
such as SPSS and smart PLS, facilitated a robust evaluation of the relationship between
incentives and employee performance. The findings underscore the importance of a
multifaceted approach to employee motivation. Financial incentives, including salary,
bonuses, and compensation, significantly influenced employee performance, highlighting
the continued relevance of monetary rewards in motivating staff. Equally significant were
non-financial incentives, such as improved working conditions, recognition, and
opportunities for personal development, demonstrating a substantial positive impact on
employee performance. These results emphasize the necessity for organizations to
implement a balanced motivation strategy that addresses their employees' financial and
personal growth needs. The study's recommendations for adopting such a balanced
approach and maintaining transparent communication about incentive programs provide
actionable insights for local non-governmental organizations seeking to enhance their
employee motivation strategies and improve overall organizational performance.
