The questionnaire was distributed to all 50 employees at the organization. However, only 40 questionnaires were then collected, making the return rate at 80%. Since the number of respondents was less than 100, only SPSS based tests were conducted, namely the descriptive, reliability and regression tests. Findings - The results show that the employees were satisfied with the compensation provided by their employer and that there is a moderate relationship between the types of compensation with employees' job performance. It was also found that non-financial compensation has demonstrated a stronger relationship to the job performance compared to financial. Novelty - In contrary to prior studies the study found out that financial compensation does not affect the job performance.
