Journal Title: Asian Journal Social Sciences & Humanities - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
For any contemporary society to experience meaningful progress, two structures must necessarily be on ground. First, a viable and adequately remunerated work force, and secondly, a strong infrastructural base. The study examined work remuneration among the work force, precisely civil servants, in Southern Senatorial District of Taraba State, Nigeria, as well as the infrastructural development in the area, and attempts to establish if a link exists between the work remuneration of these workers and level of infrastructural development in the area. To achieve this objective, the survey type of research design was utilized to select subjects from the civil servants in the district who then formed the samples for the study. Data were obtained from a total of 375 subjects using a carefully designed four point Likert scale questionnaire, while the analytical tool used was the Pearson product moment correlation coefficient. The result of the analysis revealed that civil servants in Southern Senatorial District of Taraba State are poorly remunerated, and arising from this, a number of them take to white-collar crimes just to make ends meet. These white-collar crimes as results further revealed affect the provision of social infrastructure such as potable water, education and health facilities, leading to the conclusion that poor work remuneration significantly affects infrastructural development in Southern Senatorial District of Taraba State.
