Abstract

This study explores the moderating effect of team dynamics on the relationship between team
support, team talent, team-based incentives, and employee performance in ceramic
manufacturing organizations in Kogi State, Nigeria. Using a cross-sectional design, the
research examines the impact of team support, team talent, and team-based incentives on
employee performance. The study population consisted of 503 employees from five ceramic
manufacturing organizations in Kogi State. A sample size of 298 respondents was determined
using Dillman's formula, with 263 valid responses ultimately analyzed. Data was collected
through structured questionnaires using a Likert scale. Analysis techniques included
descriptive statistics, Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), and
bootstrapping, implemented through SPSS and SmartPLS software. The findings reveal
significant effects of team support, team talent, and team-based incentives on employee
performance, with team dynamics playing a moderating role in the relationship between team
support and employee performance. The study provides valuable insights for management in
ceramic manufacturing organizations to enhance employee performance through fair
incentives, talent development, and supportive team dynamics.
