Abstract
In Nairobi City County, Kenya, the crime rate is high and reports generally indicate poor performance of the police officers despite the introduction of compensation programs. Gaps exist in research on compensation programs and employee performance (EP) of the Kenya police. The research objective was to determine the influence of compensation program on the performance of this workforce. The study was guided by the social exchange theory and the target population was the 9,925 Kenya police service employees. From samples of 400 respondents, Crobach Alpha reliability coefficient of 0.7 was identified. Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics of linear regression were used to analyse the data. Findings indicate that compensation programs had a negative significant influence on employees’ performance in Nairobi City County. The study recommends involvement of all security sector stakeholders in formulating and implementing social welfare programs and further studies of other welfare programs on the performance of Kenya police service.
