Abstract
This study investigates employee remuneration and the performance of selected Nigeria manufacturing companies using five companies that had the highest asset base from the quoted manufacturing companies. A non-experimental research design was adopted using a dataset for the period 2009–2018 collated from the annual reports and financial statement of the selected manufacturing companies. Three hypotheses were proposed and tested using a multiple regression model. The findings revealed that there is a statistically significant relationship between staff salaries, post-employment benefits, and Profit after tax of selected Nigeria manufacturing companies with P-value of 0.0090 and 0.0006, respectively. The findings show that staff cost is not significantly related to profit with P-value of 0.8894. The study recommended that manufacturing companies should intensify training and retraining programmes for all staff, particularly the management staff, to improve management efficiency.
