A study at TANESCO Dodoma analysed the effects of financial incentives, staff training, and employee recognition using a quantitative methodology and explanatory cross-sectional design. This research provided insights into the immediate effect of these incentives on organisational performance and the overall effectiveness of the employees at TANESCO Dodoma. A study was conducted with 187 employees from TANESCO Dodoma, selected through simple random sampling to ensure representativeness. Data was collected through structured questionnaires to assess employee perceptions and attitudes on the incentives and analysed using multiple linear regression techniques, yielding significant findings. The results indicated a significant positive relationship between various incentives and organisational performance. Specifically, the findings indicate that staff training is the most significant factor in improving performance, with a p-value of p < 0.001. Financial incentives follow closely, showing a notable impact with a p-value of p = 0.01. While staff recognition also plays an important role, its effect is comparatively smaller, with a p-value of p = 0.022. The study highlights the crucial role of human resource incentives at TANESCO Dodoma in driving organisational performance. This study provides context-specific evidence on the contribution of human resource incentives, particularly in a Tanzanian public sector setting, which has received limited attention in prior research. The study recommends optimising financial incentives to boost employee motivation and performance, expanding training programs to enhance skills, and implementing recognition practices to reward exceptional contributions. These strategies emphasise the need for continuous investment in human resources to support sustainable growth and successenArticle
