Productivity, which is concerned with the effective and efficient attainment of an organization's set goals and objectives, is unlikely to occur if workers' compensation and employee engagement schemes do not meet their physiological needs. Employees’ productivity in the Municipal Assemblies is decreasing as a result of improper employee engagement practices and a lack of merited compensation packages which this paper seeks to address. This necessitates a large-scale investigation to determine whether the same is true in Local Government Service of Ghana, so as to address the literature gap by using data from La Nkwantanang Madina and Ayawaso East Municipal Assemblies respectively in the Greater Accra region. The study was a quantitative design with the of aim testing the objective theories by examining the relationship among the variables. The target population of the study was about 202 employees of both Ayawaso East Municipal Assembly and La-Nkwantanang Madina Municipal Assembly in the Greater Accra Region. The study was carried out utilizing a convenience sample methodology, a non-purposive sampling method. Also, a quantitative questionnaire was constructed to collect the data for this study because it is generally simpler to evaluate and has a well-known structure. The feedback obtained from the study’s first objective revealed majority of the workers agreeing to be poorly compensated by the institutions in which they work in. Thus, they indicated that their performance was not rewarded properly. Also, majority revealed to receive poor credit pay for the work they did. Local Government Service and Management of the Municipal Assemblies must put measures in place to improve upon the current policies on compensation and employee engagement levels, since they have proved to be among the most essential driving forces of worker’s productivity.
