Motivating employees is no doubt has an impact on the productivity of an organization, but the extent of the motivation is the gap that this study focuses on. Incentive systems play a key role in motivating employees in an organization. Motivating employees to work energetically is beneficial to the organization while employees, on the other hand, are systematically satisfied with the level of the job done. This study centered on the effect of non-financial incentives on employee’s performance among non-academic staff of university of Jos. Three hundred and seven (307) participants were stratified across the two cadres of employees (senior and junior staff) of the university non-academic staff. Participants were stratified and equally were randomly selected from the pool of respondents. The survey method was used to generate required data from the respondents, using and with the aid of a well-structured questionnaire. The data generated were analyzed using the regression method. The study reveals that there is a significant impact of non-financial incentive system, commitment on the non-academic staff at the University of Jos.
