BACKGROUND OF STUDY
Motivation is the set of forces that
cause people to choose certain behavior from amongst the many alternative open
to them. An employee performance is typically influenced by motivation, ability
and the work environment.
Motivation is important because of its
intangible nature. A leader can influence his surbodinate only when they are
convinced.
In conviction, a need based approach
must be applied which focus on what motivates employee to choose certain
behavior in discharging their duties. Such approaches are need hierarchies and
the dual structure approach.
Motivation plus effort leads to
performance which then leads to outcome said by Victor Vroom in his theory
“Expectancy Theory”. According to this theory, there are three conditions to be
met for individuals to exbibit motivated behavior, thus;
a.
Effort
to performance expectancy must be greater that zero
b. Performance to outcome expectancy must
be greater that zero and
c.
The
sum of values for all relevant outcome must be greater that zero.
In other view Fredrick Taylor said that
people have been engaging in employment for reasons other than money. He added
that workers can be motivated if reward
and penalties are attached to performance.
Modern economy depends on a large
extent on motivation more than previous economics. Motivation itself has now
become inseparable from modern production for good efficiency and effectiveness
of organizational production and rendering of good services to the custom by
the staff can only be possible with the aid of adequate motivation.
According to Okpala (Dec 1980),
‘motivation comes from intrinsic factors which influenced the workers to behave
the way they do. The intrinsic source of motivation is the type of motivation
that comes derides a sense of accomplishment and achievement from helping gain
competitive advantage job that are interesting and challenging leads to
intrinsic motivation for this type of work motivation result from performing
the job itself.
The extrinsic motivation result as a
worker acquires materials or social rewards to avoid punishment will work well
and light, temperature and noise
reduction, different salary scales, group standard leadership etc. all of this
affect the employees performance.
Motivation will always need the
timeless sensitivity and vision that effective relationship with human growth
and individual demands. A legal and reductive assumption is that of working
itself is well planned and efficient, motivation for what is being done should
meaty and micely come along as well. Vigas (1977) noted that when workers feels
a strong need for what they are doing and the programme is well planned and
stimulating with adequate information
feedback the easier the motivation to work increases industries and businesses
are filled with well designed, efficient programmes that are not very motivated
part of the problem is efficiency itself. Motivation takes people skills and
time good strategy is an investment.
It pays dividends but often beyond the
inherent structure true of the knowledge or skill they are performing, it means
that managers have to plan taken for guaranted. (Johnson and Johnson, (1982)
the time continuing model of motivation is an organizational and for planning.
It is a systematic structure for introducing or applying motivational strategies throughout
a working sequence (Sanders, 1981). Sanders described motivation as an
organizational and motivation planning is designing and is essential part of
it. He also stressed that the time continuum model of motivation help managers
to programmatically combine a series of motivation strategies from the
beginning to the work of project sequence so that a network of motivational
influences is formulated.
A manager working with motivated
workers finds instructions more successful achieves greater satisfaction and
avoids burn out.
Out of the major quagmires confronting
management is that of motivating workers to perform assigned tasks to most or
surpass predetermined standards. The behavior the work force can either be
beneficial or detrimental to an organization, hence the need for management to
study and know how or which line of action to follow in every organization.
There are groups which perform the same jobs and will be noticed that some of
them perform better than others.
Variances in workers performances can
be traced the some factors such as experience and skill. Hence training workers
involved restricting the jobs to suit their skill and ability.
This will be of immense importance
towards solving this problem.
An individual workers will be motivated
if the feels that this organizationa is playing a vital frustration sets in if
the reverse is the case but promotion fringe benefits achievements, recognition
etc.
In Nigeria, one noticed that salary is
the only motivating facor used by most organization.
These characteristics prominently on
companies productivities Ibeto group of company was given power and operational
interest in producing cement, Automative parts, petrochemicals hospitality,

central problem foe leaders and managers and as a result provide managers with
techniques to improve workers productivity.

condition of their workers by failing to give them what makes them perform

underlying and management staff are very poor.
The management does not have time to
investigate if the workers are blissful with what they are doing or not.
The organization does not even care to
know if the workers are physically alright, what the organization want is that
the workers should work.
Another one is that the organization
does not give them the ample opportunity of going for workshops or training
while working in the organization. The workers also complained that the salary
and financial benefits that are accruable to them are not equitable to their
productivity, and their fringe benefits
are being denied.

of the organization have obstructed the relationship behavior in the organization
thereby leading to waste of resources. It is on this that the researcher discovered

organization. A case study of Ibeto Group of Company Nnewi.
