We investigate a fractional $p$-Laplacian equation with right-hand-side nonlinearity which exhibits $(p-1)$-sublinear term of the form $\lambda |u|^{q-2},\, q<p $ (concave term), and a continuous term $f(x,u)$ which is respectively $(p-1)$-superlinear or asymptotically $(p-1)$-linear at infinity. Some existence results for multiple nontrivial solutions are established by using variational methods combined with the Morse theory.
