Abstract

The study attempted to examine challenges of applying non financial motivation in the police force organizations in Tanzania. Specifically it focused on identifying available non financial motivation, assessment of the socioeconomic cost of non financial motivation and suggesting alternative strategies in applying the non financial motivation. The study employed qualitative approach and case study design in which data were generated by using in–depth interviews, focus group discussions, documentary analysis and field observation.. The study used an analytical framework to explain the relationship between non financial motivation and the challenges of applying it. The findings from the study revealed that despite the fact that Tanzania Police Force (TPF) has indicated different types of non financial motivation, but has challenges to apply them effectively to employees. Besides, there is no transparency, especially with regard to promotion and recognition. Based on these findings, the study concludes that TPF has not shown any effort of doing away challenges and establishing best principles of applying non financial motivation to its employees. The study recommends that proper application of non financial motivation can be achieved by participating the entire workforce on recognition through meeting and seminars to avoid complaints. Also the challenges of the application of non financial motivation can only be reduced by avoiding favouratism during the time of choosing an employee to be motivated.
