CHAPTER ONE
1.1
INTRODUCTION
Employee’s interest in higher productivity does
not develop without some stimulation by management; either directly or through
the creation of an atmosphere in which employees wants to contribute their best
effort to the job.
It
must be received that in any organization, motivation `has a great impact on
worker’s performance, if properly administered. It will enhance the output of
the workers which has a multiplier effect on the rate of profit and turnover of
the organization.
Remuneration
policy and methods can be considered in isolation from the country’s economic
policies. That is why the state of the economy must be critically analyzed
before any policy on remuneration could be implemented.
According
to Haire (1963), in his wages and salary policy and administration, he states
that pay in one form or another is certainly one of the main spring of
motivation in one society.
As
a motivator, it becomes part of general psychological problem’’. An incentive
is a systematic procedure for establishing a sound compensation structure. By
reducing inequalities among employees earning, a good programme raised
individual moral and reduces inter group friction.
Similarly,
motivation (incentives) policy shall be the policy of an organization to
promote incentives that are at least as good as, if not better than, those paid
by the competitors for similar types of work under similar conditions of works
in the communities in which it operates.
1.2
STATEMENT
OF THE PROBLEMS
One
approach to employees’ motivation has been to add incentive to an individual’s
job as the primary factor in improving performance. Endless mixes of employee
benefit –such as Health care, Life insurance, profit sharing , Employee’s stock
ownership plans, Exercise facilities, Subsidized meal plans, Child care
availability, company’s car and more have been used by companies in their effort to maintain happy employees in
the belief that happy employee are motivated employee. To what extent has these
incentives affect employees productivity in Nigeria: A case study of Afribank
plc.

PURPOSE
OF THE STUDY
Motivating
employees to contribute their efforts to accomplish organizational duties and
task requires the identification variables that could be influencing such
efforts. The identification of such variable is not an easy task. This could be
attributed to the variety of employees need and aspiration from the jobs which
imply that motivating factors are multi dimensional.
Basically,
the purposes of the study are:-
(1) To
resolve problem in process of motivating workers.
(2) To
examine various leading theories of motivation and their effect on
productivity.
(3) To
determine whether a group of workers will have some need and wants which
effects their productivity.
(4) To determine whether financial motivation
alone can satisfy
the employees need and wants therefore stimulate them
to work harder.
(5) To arrive at suggestions which if
implemented can help to improve the workers output and efficiency and thus
achieve company goals and objectives.
(6) To serve as guidelines for the easy study.
(7) To serve as reference for other staffs.
1.4
THE
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
For
modern days business enterprises to be successful, the presence of committed
and dedicated managers and highly motivate workers is required.
To
get the workers motivated, the manager must understand those factors that will
motivate a particular employee at a particular point in time.
The
study will however, assist managers in getting the best out of their workers to
achieve the enterprises objectives.
This
will be achieve by establishing the importance of motivation in today’s highly competitive and dynamic business
environment and how the concept could be used to inspire appropriate co-operation effort
essential for achieving individual and organizational goals.
