    (University of Dar es Salaam, 2016) Assey, Elizabeth Thadeus
    The general objective of the study was to assess factors affecting compliance to social security pension contributory schemes. Specifically, the study assessed the level of awareness campaign on the compliance on social security pension contributory schemes; the level of enforcement of the social security laws on the compliance on social security pension contributory schemes; the relationship between the employment status of an individual and the compliance on social security pension contributory schemes and the relationship between administrative procedures for membership and the compliance on social security pension contributory schemes. The study was conducted in Arusha region whereby hundred (100) employees from thirty (30) tour companies based in Arusha and three (3) NSSF Arusha Regional Office Heads of Unit were selected randomly. People were selected randomly following the researcher’s sample size and also judgment methods were used respectively in this study. Research data were obtained through questionnaire whereas the questionnaires were structured type with open and closed questions and interview was also conducted whereby face to face interview was done to the selected sample. Based on the findings, the study revealed that there was insufficient awareness campaign by NSSF, insufficient level of enforcement of the social security laws on the compliance on social security pension contributory schemes. There is relationship between the employment status of an individual and the compliance on social security pension contributory schemes meaning that employment contract has a relationship with compliance to the social security pension contributory schemes that is, short term employment contract does not at all attract to compliance to pension contribution while the long term contract employment does attract to compliance to social security contributory scheme. Recommendations were given to regulatory authority to centralize the contributory registration number. Social Security funds were recommended to slight their administrative procedures for membership so as to accommodate the short term contract employees.
