1 BACKGROUND STATEMENT Employees in both small and large business organization and non-profit making organization express resentment at their contribution not appreciated or recognized. Superiors takes decisions without their knowledge, even about remuneration which does not reflect their effort, dexterity, etc, just because proper and appropriate recognition is not given to their contributions. Some workers believe that after all, they are working for some one and any profit made are for that person while they remain with their low level salary package. Also, comparing their business with similar businesses, they have no pride in their jobs. Some think their grievances are not heard which affect the productivity level of the organization. But managing people requires the creation and maintain of an environment in which individuals work together in groups towards the accomplishment of common objectives. A manager cannot do this job without knowing what motivate people, he must be built on knowledge of motivational theories.
In the conclusion part of the industrial revolution, managements idea of motivating its workers was the use of fear and financial incentives. The first was exercised by threat of dismissal and the latter by paying piece work ( i.e. the more you produce the more you earn). It is unlike that management In those days through tin terms of motivation. The objectives was high production and the methods were traditional and unquestioned. In 1954, Morris Viteles, professor of psychology, university of Pennsylvania, slotted financial incentives into the overall pictures of motivation is publishing motivation and moral employees. In contrast to the latter part of the Industrial Revolution, management of human resources in recent time has been important to top management and as such cannot The company must
motivate people to 1) Join the organization 2) Come to work promptly or regularly 3) Remain in the organization 4) Perform and exhibit good corporate citizenship.
Management concerned with productivity believes that motivation is in extricable related to organization performance, they are convinced that highly motivated individuals are more productivity both in quality and quantity. Productivity is achieved through excellence is achieved by having an organization of highly motivated individuals. An effective and efficient management committed in seeing organization goals and dreams attained, need not overlook the most basic physical and psychological needs of its workers. The physical needs of workers and necessities are motivated by a higher type of needs such as the need for belonging, recognition of achievement as well as opportunities for personal growth which form the psychological view of employers. The satisfaction of their needs forms the pivot of motivation, it should be stated that managers must understand the individual workers needs since it is difficult. Identifying the needs of individual employees and helping to achieve them either through tangible rewards such as wages and salaries, packages, accommodation , bonus and improve physical working conditions or intangible means such as praises and encouragement,
promotion, job enrichment and encouragement, form the basis of employee motivation, job higher productivity at workplaces.

PROBLEM DEFINATION Management and employees of any business enterprise, whether small or big, profit or no - profit oriented, both have a dream, an objective which they hope to achieve. One of management objectives is high production while that of employees are substances and survival of employment for lifetime. In recent times, management tends to demand more than just high production. They want to see workers exhibit good corporate citizenship, come to work regularly, avoid absenteeism and tidiness to work and strike free environment, etc.
1.3
OBJECTIVES This study was undertaken for the following objectives: 1) To find out the nature of relationship between motivation and performance of employees in the overall achievement of the goals of an organization. 2) To investigate the nature of motivation package in practice at the CASE STUDY 3) To determine the kind of behavior managers need to motivate employees. 4) To find out how management is able to set challenging and motivating goals and create a motivating empowering job. 5) To find out also how employees or workers assess fairness and respond to unfair treatment.
1.4
Management needs an in - depth knowledge on motivation methods and their effect on productivity. The findings of this study will add up to the existing knowledge on the use of motivation methods, identify their appropriate adoption and effects on performance The exposure of psychological and behavioral aspects of employees by this study will also help management in addressing certain shortfalls in performance which can be linked to lack of motivation.
1.5
Base upon the stated objectives, this study is to find out whether there is a direct relationship between motivation and organization performance and how this effect productivity at any given time and the achievement of the organization goals. 1.6 LIMITATION OF THE STUDY The major problem encountered in understanding this study was the limited time given for the work, coupled with constraint in printing questionnaires and moving round for adequate data collection, and finally due to the cost involve.

INTRODUCTION
Management needs the creation and maintains of an environment in which individuals work together towards the accomplishment of its objectives. Managers cannot do this without knowing what motivates people. The building of motivation factors into organizational roles, staffing of motivation but this does not means to manipulate people. The common aims of managers are to get people contribute to activities that help achieve the mission and goals of enterprise or of any department or other unit wit it.
Guiding peoples activity in desired direction requires knowing to the best of nay manager ability, what lead people to do things or what motivates them?
2.1
This metaphor relates to the use of reward and penalties in order to induce desired behavior. It come from the old story that to make a donkey move, one must put a carrot before it or jab it with a stick from behind. Despite all the research on , and theories of motivation that have come to the fore in recent years, reward and punishment are still considered strong only forces that could motivate people. As the succeeding discussion will explain , the are many other motivators. In all theories of motivating, the inducement of some kind of carrot is recognized. This often is money in the form of pay or bonuses. Though money is not the only motivating force, it has been and will continue to be an important one. The problem with money CARROT approach is that too often everyone gets a carrot regardless of performance , through such practices as salary increase and promotion by seniority, automatic merit increase and executive bonuses not bases on individual manager performance, it is as simple as this. If a person put a- donkey in a pen full of carrot and then stands outside with a carrot, then the question one will asks is, would the donkey be encouraged to come out of the pen? The stick in the form of fear, fear of loss of job, loss of income, reduction of bonus, demotion or some other penalty, has been and continues to be a strong motivation. Yet, it is admittedly not the best kind. It often give rise to defensive or retaliatory behaviors such as union organizations, poor quality work, executive indifference, which cannot be overlooked.
Whether managers are first level supervisors or chief executives the power of their position to give or withhold records, impose penalties of various kinds, give them an ability to control. To a very great extent, the economic and social well being of their subordinates. It is hard to wonder that many subordinates are stooges simply agreeing with their superiors rather than using their considered judgment and personally creativity.
2.2
DEFINITION OF MOTIVATION
Herald koonts (1990) defined motivation as a general term applying to the entire class of derives, desire, needs, wishes and similar forces. To say that managers motivate their subordinates means they do those things which they hope will satisfy these derives, desire, needs, wishes and induces the subordinates to act in desired manner. However, managers are advised to know that motivation is an individual affair. In other words, what actually motivates one person or group of people might not motivate another individual or group of people. Meanwhile, the job of a manager is not to manipulate and entice employees but rather to recognize what motivates people in order to attain organizational aims. Motivation may also refer to the way urges, aspiration, derives and needs of human being direct or control or explain behavior. A large part of managers duty is getting things done through people, by so doing; he / she must understand peoples motivation. It is one thing for the manager who wants to get things through employers to make conscious effort in identifying what urges, aspire, and derives and the needs of the human beings that direct their behavior towards work and attainment of high productivity. Also, whist attempting to identify what motivate workers to give of their best,
managers must bear in mind that all aspect of motivating employees cannot be provided as other influences occur outside the working environment; for examples, community and family pressures. It is a fact that managers are responsible for providing conducive environment for the employees to work in order to achieve the organization goals. Nonetheless, individuals employees are themselves responsible for self motivation. Richard M. Hudgetts defined motivation as a psychological process through which unsatisfied want or needs lead to drive that are aimed at goals or incentives. And that there are three basic elements in the process which are needs drives and goal attainment. A person with an unsatisfied need will undertake goal directed behavior to satisfy the need. A simply example is a person working to earn money so that she or he can put down payment on a house. This individual will be motivated or drive to earn this money as quickly as possible and might look for overtime work to supplement her or his regular salary.
2.3 2.3.1
J. Stacey Adams proposed theory is based one the idea that people want to be treated fairy in relationship to others inequality exist when a person perceive his / her job inputs and outcome are less than the job inputs and outcome of another person. This theory also postulates that the presence of inequity in a person creates tension proportion to the magnitude of inequity. A person may take several actions to reduce inequity: 1) Increase inputs on the job if inputs are low relative to other person.
2) Reduce inputs if they high relative to other persons input 3) Quit the job 4) Request a pay increment.
2.3.2
HIERARCHY OF NEEDS THEORY Psychological, Abraham Maslow, saw human needs in the form of hierarchy, ascending from the lowest to the highest and he concluded that when one sets of needs are satisfied, it ceases to be a motivator. This is how he classified them, TABLE OF HIERARCHY
Physical Needs Security or safety Needs Affiliation Needs Esteem Needs Need for Self Actualization
1) Physical Needs; Maslow contended that if someone were deprived of all needs satisfaction, the individuals drive to satisfy these physiological needs would be greater than the drive to satisfied any other needs. Applied to work motivation, these physiological needs often are satisfied through the wages and salaries paid by the organization 2) Security or Safety Needs; is the desire of security, stability and absence of pain. And these are satisfied through safety programs and equipment and providing
security through medical insurance, unemployment and retirement plan and similar benefits. 3) Social Needs , It include the needs to interact and affiliate with others and the need to feel wanted by others. Is all about the desire for belongingness often it is satisfied on the job through social interaction within the work group in which people give and receive friendship. 4) Esteem Needs, involves the needs for power and status. These results in individuals needing to feel important and receive recognition from other like promotion, award and feedbacks from the boss which leads to feeling of self confidence, prestige and self importance. 5) Need for Self Actualization; This highest need in Maslows hierarchy: it is the desires to become what one is capable of becoming - to maximize ones potential and accomplish something. In the organization, this may not be a promotion but instead it may involve mastering ones environment as well as setting achieving attainable goal
Edwad Lawfer and J. Lloyd Suttle collected information on 187 managers in two different organization over six (6) to twelve (12) months. Little evidence was found to support Malaws theory that human needs form a hierarchy. However, they noted that there were two levels of needs - biological and other needs. The other needs emerge only biological needs reasonably
satisfied. They also found out that at higher levels, the strength of needs predominated, while in other self actualization needs were strong. Douglas T. Hall and Khalil Nougaim in another study did not find strong evident of the hierarchy over a period of five years involving a group of managers. They found that as managers advance in an organization, their physiological and safety needs tend to decrease in importance and their needs for affiliation , esteem and self actualization tend to increase. However, they insisted the upward and movement of need prominence result from upward career changes and not from the satisfaction of lower order needs. 2.3.3. MCCLELLANS NEEDS THEORY David C. McClelland identified three basic motivation needs which he classified as the needs for power (N / PWR), Need for affiliation (N / AFF), and need for achievement ( N / ACH), Considered research has been conducted on methods of testing people with respect to these three types of needs and MaClelland and his association have done substantial research on the need of achievement .All the three derives power affiliation and achievement are of particular relevance to management, since all must be recognized to make an organize enterprise work well. Because any organized enterprise and every department involves group of individuals working together to achieve goals, the need for achievement is of paramount importance.
How MaClellands Approach Applies to Managers McClellands found the patterns of achievement but in large companies, chief executive to be only average in achievement motivation and often stronger in derives for power and affiliation.
11
Managers in the upper middle level of management in such companies rated higher than their president in achievement motivation. The question that is often asked in whether all managers should rate high on achievement motivation. People who do rate high tend to advance faster those who do not. But managing requires other characteristics be sides achievement derives, every company should probably have many mangers that posses fairly strong achievement motivation and also have a high for affiliation for co ordination the effort of individual working in group motivation. People who do rate to advance faster than those who do not. But managing requires other characteristics besides
2.3.4
REINFORCEMENT THEORY
This theory development by B.f. Skinner and resulted in an area called positive reinforcement or behavior is viewed as a consequence of past action and experience. Advocates of behaviour modification suggest that punishment can enhance desired behavior. We learn from consequences of our action how to behave in order to achieve positive rewards or to avoid unpleasant outcome. According to the law of effort, behavior that is rewarded tends to be repeated and behavior that is punishment tends to be eliminated. Although behavior modification programs typically involve the administration of both rewards and punishment, rewards generally are emphasized because they are more effective than punishment in influencing behavior. Behavior modification theory asserts that if managers want to modify subordinates behavior, they must ensue that appropriate consequences occur as a result of that behavior, they must
ensure that appropriate consequences occur as a result of that behavior. As far as human behavior is concerned, all theories mentioned above the contributed to understanding the need for motivation in organization.
2.3.5
EXPECTANCY THEORY
The psychologist. Victor H. Vroom, explain this theory as how people are motivated to do things to reach a goal if they believe in the worth of that goal and can see that what they do will help them in achieving it. A modern expression of what Martin Luther observed centuries ago when he said Everything done in this world is done in hope. Vrooms theory is that people s motivation towards doing anything will be determined by the value they place on the outcome of their effort (whether positive / negatives), multiplied by the confidence they have, that their effort will material did in achieving a goal. He also made the point that motivation is a product of anticipated worth, an individual places on a goal and the chance he / she sees of achieving that goal. A person would have no motivation to achieve a goal if expectancy is zero or negative . The force executed to do something also depends on both valence and expectancy, so a motive to accomplish some might be determined by a desire to accomplish something. Example, A manager might be willing to work hard to achieve a company s goal in marketing or production for a promotion or pay valence.
2.4
MOTIVATIONAL TECHNIQUES
After the theories, the question may be meant for manger what motivational techniques should
13
be used? Since it is so complex and individual there can be no single best answer. But the following major motivational techniques can be seen.
a)
Money
Earlier mention in relation to the carrot and the stick, money can never be overlooked as a motivator. Whether in the form of wages, piece work any other thing that may be given to people for performance, money is important. Money is often more than monetary value as stated by some writers, it can also mean status or power. Economist and most managers tends to place money higher on the scale of motivators, but if money is to be the kind of motivator that it can and should be then managers must remember several thing like the following; 1) Money is more important to important who are raising a family, this is because money is an urgent means of achieving a minimum standard of living, although it gets higher when people become affluent. Example, a person that is satisfied with a small houses and a low price car many now be able to derive the same satisfaction only from a large house and a fairly luxurious automobile. Yet it is impossible to generalize in these terms. For some people, money is of the utmost importances, whiles for others it is not. 2) It is quite true in most business enterprise that money is used as a men of keeping on organization adequately staffed and not mainly as a motivator. Wages and salaries in most organization are made competitive within their industry geographic area, etc. to attract and hold people.
3) Money as a motivator tends dulled by making sure salaries of various managers are reasonable the same. This is appropriate since people normally evaluate their compensation with what their equals are taking. 4) If money is to be an effective motivator, individual in various positions with the same level must take salaries and bonuses that reflect their performance. Even if a company is committed to the practice of comparable wages and salaries, a well managed firm should never be bound to the same practices with respect to bonuses. The way to ensue that money has meaning as a reward for achievements and as away of giving individuals pleasure from accomplishment is to pay compensation on performance. It is almost true that money can motivate only when the prospective payment in huge relative to a person income. The problem with many wags and salaries increase and bonus payment is they not huge enough to motivate the receiver. They may keep people from being dissatisfied and look for the another job, unless they are large enough to be felt, they are not likely to be strong motivator.
b) Participation Increase awareness and use of participation is one of the techniques which have given strong support to motivation theory and research. Only rarely as people not motivated by being consulted on actions affecting them by being in on the act Most individuals in the center of an operation have knowledge for both the problem and the solution to them. As obstacle, the right kind of participation is also means of recognition which appeals to the
15
need for affiliation and acceptance, it gives people a sense of accomplishment. This does not mean mangers weaken their positions. Although they encourage participation of subordinates on mattes which can help them and listen carefully on matters requiring their decisions which must be decided by them. The best subordinates would not have it any other way but the few subordinates will have respect for the weak superior.
c) Quality of working life (QWL) One of the most interesting approaches to motivation which is a system of approaches to job design and a promising development in a wide area of job enrichment, combined with the Scio technical system approach to management. QWL is only a very wide approach to job enrichment but also an interdisciplinary field of inquiring and action combining industrial organization, psychology and sociology, industrial engineering, organization theory and development motivation and leadership theory and industrial relation. There are hundreds of case studies, practical programs and a number of QWL centers, primarily In the United States, Britain and Scandinavia enthusiastic support from a number of sources, Managers have regarded as a promising means if dealing with stagnating productivity in the world. Workers and Unions representatives have also seen it as a means of improving conditions, productivity and justifying higher pay. Government agencies have been attracted to QWL as means of increasing productivity reducing inflation, obtaining industrial democracy and minimizing labour disputes. It is not a
surprise that QWL has been spreading fast in bigger companies or well managed companies as General Motor, proctor and Gamble.
2.5
JOB ENRICHMENT
Analysis of motivation and research points to the importance of making jobs challenging and meaningful which applies to managers and non managers. Job enrichment related to Hertzbergs theory if motivation as a challenge achievement, recognition and responsibility seen as a real motivator. This theory has led to a widespread interest in developing way to enrich job content for non managerial.
Job Enlargement - It tries to make job more varied by removing the dullness associated performance with performing repetitive operations. Simply enlarging an area of the job is by adding similar tasks without enhancing responsibility.
Job Enrichment tries to build into jobs a higher senses of challenge and achievement. A job may be enriched by the following: 1) Give workers more freedom in deciding about work methods. Sequence and pace/ acceptance / rejection of materials. 2) 3) Encouraging participation of subordinates and interaction between workers Taking steps to make sure those workers can see how their task contributes to a finished product and welfare on the enterprise. 4) Giving people feedbacks on their job performance before their supervisor get it.
17
5)
Involving workers in the analysis and change of physical aspect of the work environment such as layout of office or plant, temperature, lighting and cleanliness.
2.6
Manager have long known that individual rewards, ie. Piece rate payments, sales commission and performance bonuses that tie individual rewards to individual performance, that can be effective motivator, if they fit the types or work performed. Research shows that performance increase to 30% when incentives geared to reward individuals to fit the situation, whiles incentives geared to reward groups increase to 18% only.
2.7
INTEGRATION AND APPLICATION OF MOTIVATION 1) Performance definition 2) Performance facilitation 3) Performance encouragement
Performance Definition - what is expected to employees is continuous orientation towards effectives job performance . The following are the three elements; Goal setting : is an effective performance improvement strategy. It enhances
accountability and clarifies the direction of employee effort. At Hewlett Packard, for example, the president comments The corporate goals ( concerning profit, customers, field of interest , growth , people management and citizenship) provide the basic framework for the
management - by - objectives system which gives individuals managers a lot of freedom to be entrepreneurial and innovative. The mere presence of goals however is not sufficient.
Measure; management must also be able to measure the accomplishment of goals. This is where performance play a vial role, for he specify what fully successful performance means. Goals such as make the company successfully are to vague to be useful.
Assessment, regular assessment of progress towards goals encourages a continuing orientation towards job performance. If management takes time to identify measurable goals but fail to do assessment, it is asking for trouble. This is so because., if there is no assessment of performance on these goals, then the goals cannot motivate employees to improve their performance. The goals only send negative message to employees regarding managements commitment to the goals.
Performance Facilitation - Is responsible for the elimination of road block to performance. It has there aspects; i.e. removing performance obstacles, providing the means and personal, Improper maintained of equipment, delay in receiving supplies, poor physical design of work, space and inefficient work methods are obstacle to performance e supportive task environments, otherwise motivation will decline as employees become convince that management does not care about getting the job done. Adequate resources - similar problem can arise when management fails to provide adequate financial, material or human resource to get a job done right. Such a strategy is self defeating and excessively costly in the long run, for employees begin to doubt whether
19
motivation to perform. Poor staffing procedures ( placing round page in square holes). Such strategies results in over - staffing, excessive labour cost and reduce productivity. Performance Encouragement, is the last key area of management performance. It have five aspect i.e Value of rewards, amount of rewards, timing of rewards, likelihood of rewards, and equity or fairness of rewards. The value and amount of the rewards relate to the choice of rewards to be used. Managers must offer rewards to employees (job re design, flexible benefits system, alternative work schedules) that employees personally value. Then sufficient amount of reward must be offered to motivate employees to put much effort receive it. How much is enough? The timing and likelihood of reward are link between performance and outcomes. Pay satisfaction involve perception of fairness or unfair, but their concepts are distinctly different; 1. Fairness depend on comparison between rewards one received and ones contribution to the organization, relative to some comparison standard. Such standards might be; a. b. Other, A comparison with other people within or outside the organization Self; A comparison with ones own rewards and contribution at different time and / or with ones evolving views of self worth. c. System; A comparison with what the organization has promise.
These standards are used in varying degrees, depending on the availability of information and on the relevance of standards to individuals. Fairness also relates to employees understanding of their companys pay system. These who understand the system consider it fair.
2. Feelings of unfairness are adjustment in pay. Organization with carefully designed policies needs only to ensure an action matches intensions. This makes it less difference to employees perception of pay fairness. But organization says one thing and do find pay injustice as one of their most important products. It is even more important that every employee consider his / her pay to be fair with room for improvement. In formulating future human resource policies, management must, a) Quite relying one employee indebtedness to encourage performance and father consider what the organization owes to good performers. b) Consider the context of performance and productivity problem. c) Determine whether or not current human resource management policies and practices really do motivate employees to perform their jobs better.

CHAPTER FIVE
INTRODUCTION
The main reason for this chapter is for the research or to draw fair conclusion and make recommendation on the study. Primarily the objective study was to find out the nature of relationship between motivation and its effect or production. The researcher drew relevant conclusions with reference to the finding.
SUMMARY The study about the impact of motivation of productivity has been grouped into five chapters. Chapter one was about the background statement which enlightens individual on the subject. It continues with the problem statement which identifies the managements goal that they want to achieve. The objective and significance of the study are also considered under the same chapter. The chapter was about the definition of motivation and the various theories available.
The third chapter was bout methodology. This is about the descriptions of the project area, sampling techniques used for this study and procedures for collecting the data. It also brought to light the problems encountered during the data collection and lastly, the procedures used for data analysis. Chapter four elaborates on the findings of the research work. It described the motivation system at the case study.
CONCLUSION
Motivation is very essential in every aspect of life. In an organization, motivation helps in the achievement of the overall goals of the company. Productivity in increases when management is able to encourage its workers by meeting their desires.
During the study, the research gathered that management used the following to motivate its employees. Increase in remuneration Promotion Training Recognition of excellence.
