Abstract
This study examined the impact of compensation management
on academic staff's employee well-being in private universities in Uganda
during the COVID-19 lockdown. Two dimensions of compensation
management considered were compensation determination and
compensation administration. Employee well-being was studied in terms of
psychological well-being, social well-being, workplace well-being and
subjective well-being. This study used a cross-sectional design on a sample
of academic staff from five private universities. Factor analysis was used to
identify key items of compensation management and employee well-being,
followed by descriptive, correlation and multiple regression analyses.
Multiple regression analysis assessed the magnitude and strength of the
impact of compensation management on employee well-being. The results
supported the hypotheses on the influence of compensation determination
and administration on employee well-being. Therefore, compensation
determination and administration are important in enhancing the academic
staff's well-being in private universities in contingent situations such as
COVID-19 lockdown. In managing compensation issues in contingent
situations, managers of private universities should determine and
administer compensation considering employees' interests. This study adds
to the scanty literature on compensation management and employee wellbeing.
It identifies compensation management factors that organisations
should consider to promote employee well-being in contingent situations.
