LITERATURE REVIEW
THEORITICAL FRAMEWORK
In corporate organization and company’s nowadays, working conditions and compensations have been large, especially since world war 11. The statement that working conditions and employee’s compensation are the live wire of an organization is not an over-statement.
Frederick Herzberg in his two factor theory of motivation classified working conditions and compensation under “hygiene” factors. He further stressed that when these factors exist in the environment of work both in quantity and quality, the workers will experience no dissatisfaction. He went further to stress that the lack of existence of these factors will cause a feeling of dissatisfaction.
Ifeanacho and Egbue (1977) in their work, “ a practical approach to personnel management” uphold the fact that a fair compensation programme is one that is responsive to the managerial and economic objective and also ensures acquisition and maintenance of a regular and adequate supply of labour. They further stressed that an idea compensation structure is the one that is designed to compensate workers adequately for their contributions and at the same time enables the firm make reasonable profit.

INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY
Research us carefully study or investigation especially in order to discover the new facts or information, which method is ample a way of doing things research methodology is therefore investigation used in order to discover new facts or information. This chapter discusses the and analysis of the data in this study, it cover the various ways through which the researcher was carried out in accordance with the desired topic.
CHAPTER FOUR
DATA PRESENTATION AND ANALYSIS
PRESENTATION AND ANALYSIS OF DATA
This chapter will deal with analysis and interpretation of primary data, which was collected by administering questionnaires to the sample size in accordance with the research methodology stated in chapter three.
To make the analysis and interpretations meaningful some of the questions were grouped together, table and descriptive method were used and as a matter of co-operation and discipline, the worker administered 88 questionnaires, out of these 88 questions, the researcher has made the analysis of three (3) responses to ten (10) questions.
CHAPTER FIVE
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
DISCUSSION OF RESULT FINDING
The problem of study is “the impact of remuneration and working conditions on organization in the life brewery the functional and the dysfunctional effect.
A better working condition can make workers to perform very well, this is said by Fredrick Herzberg in his two factors theory of motivation. He classified working conditions as motivators.
Moreso, Ifeanacho and Egbue also support the factor that working conditions and compensation can encourage workers to perform well.
The findings of this research work also show that a better compensation scheme can lead to a high performance of employees/workers (question 10). Moreover, the finding also prove as well that a satisfactory working condition can motivate a worker (question No 8).
Besides, the finding as well that an improved compensation can motivate a worker greatly. A motivated worker is a happy worker and a happy worker is a productive worker.
From the foregoing, therefore, comparing the problem of the study with literature review. Observation and actual findings, the fact that better working conditions and compensation lead to increase in performance of workers is a true fact.
In the same vein, just as a better working conditions and compensation lead to a better performance of workers, bad working conditions and compensation in essence have a dysfunctional effect on the life brewery.
CONCLUSION
Based on the fact that working conditions and compensation have a mighty effect on performance of workers. The researcher had seen it deem fit for the life brewery to be careful on matters relating to working conditions and compensation.
With reference to the findings therefore, worker should try to upgrade it’s working conditions, by providing, proper communication system, by gilling attractive motivating factors etc. to workers.
Moreso, the believe that man is rational human being, that money is the only thing that can motivate man is proved wrong, with the exception that economic factors are combined with social emotional factors etc. man/workers will not be well motivated.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Following conclusion drawn from the finding and the summary above the recommendations below are made.
Having known the importance of working conditions and compensation that, the effort to be expended by the worker is a function of working conditions and compensation, the life brewery should endeavor to provide a better working conditions for it’s staff. Their internal office conditions should include, lighting, sanitary convenience, air conditioners, etc. Above all, the life brewery should provide staff quarters, so as to make them convenient for the workers. Beside, decent apartment should be allocated to the workers.
In the aspects of remuneration, the staff should be given an equitable compensation because the work is not an easy one. The life brewery should make the worker more attractive by giving fringe benefits to it’s staff, from the findings, the researcher got it clear that the fringe benefits received by the worker are not in the same level with the work expected to be done.
From the findings also, it is revealed that the compensation scheme is very poor. For the life brewery to be able to give equitable compensation to it’s staff, it should embark on the activities of job evaluation and performance appraisal at a short possible time. The difficulties in the job and effort expended by staff can be made known through job evaluation and performance appraisal exercise respectively.
The researcher strongly believes that if the few recommendations made are considered by the life brewery, the performance of the worker will improve.
SUGGESTION FOR FURTHER STUDY

- The need for effective management and operational efficiency in life brewery industry.
- The role of management and operational skills in life brewery industry.
- The cause and effect of leadership style in the management and operation of life brewery industry.
