The study investigated the influence of salary administration and conflict management on organizational performance among university college hospital staff. The theories of Goal Setting, Capital and Abraham Maslow's provided the framework for this research. A cross sectional survey with an ex-post facto design was utilized in gathering data from University College Hospital (UCH) through purposive sampling technique. A total of two hundred two four (224) employees of UCH were sampled and data gathered was analyzed using t-test for independent sample and multiple regression analysis. Findings revealed that conflict management had a significant influence on organizational performance among employees in UCH [t (222) = 2.98; P<.01]. Also, salary administration had a significant influence on organizational performance among employees in UCH [t (222) = 4.32; P<.01]. In addition, when combined, conflict management and salary administration jointly influence organizational performance [R = .32; R2 = .10; F (2, 221) = 11.92; P<.01]. The study concluded that conflict management and salary administration were significant determinants of organizational performance. It was therefore recommended that UCH management should endeavour to encourage utilization of integrating employees to work together and learn to tolerate each other.
