CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
An organization can be
defined, in terms of the machinery used, but rather it is the human beings in
the organization that make up the organization. For an organization to achieve
it’s objective, it has to entail the utilization of the available resource such
as time, money and material resources such as machinery, raw materials and
human resources.
The human resources of an
organization are its most treasured reassured resources. This is because all
other resources are of no importance without the involvement of the human
resources (the Gordian 2004) the human resources coordinator, coordinates all
other resources into whatever objective they are to achieve. Also, the survival,
achievement of productivity and the importance of any organization rests on the
human resources, because human resources can think, differentiate between good
and bad, and have ability to know what is attainable.
An organization that
wishes to achieve its object has to work beyond the survival and relevance of
processes procedures, machine and indeed all technology but focus more on the
human resources because all technology function as a result of the skill and
willingness of the human resources, for the human to be highly motivated.
Motivation is the general
term applying to the entire class of drives, desire, needs, whishes and similar
force (Weltrich and Kootz 1993) to say an organization motivation employees
means that is does those things which it hopes will safe those deserved and
desired manner. Human motivation therefore is that which triggers or propels
human beings to act in a required way. It can also be said as that something
and make them willing to work hard in other to do it. But before an employee
can be effectively motivated to carryout a task, he has to have a motive. These
human motives are based on a need, they are either primary need such as their
physical requirement for water, air, food, sex, sleep, shelter on secondary
needs such as self esteem, status, affiliation with others, affection,
accomplishment and self assertion (Weltrich and Koontz 1993) when these things
are satisfied in a human being, he may feel highly motivated.
For an organization to
effectively coordinate its employees’ because employees abilities are not fully
productive without motivation. Motivation is a particular drive or desire in an
individual and it moves them into performing an action that will enable them
achieve a goal. An organisaiton has to know that it cannot achieve its
objective by just employing an individual based on their technical
qualifications, experience, credential and all material but rather, it should
look at the individual person motive as well (Kelner 2000) for an employers to
have a long term success than in any given job will depend for more on the
energy and emotional engagement he brings to the job than on the training or
qualification the person has obtain over a long time, the energy tends to
differentiate those who enjoy their work and makes it easier for individual to
excel.
1.1 STATEMENT
OF PROBLEM
The purpose of an
organization is to achieve its objectives and to achieve these, it has to have
effectives and efficient employees. This, however not the case in most
organization what we see are employees who are lazy, slow, relevant to act and
unconcerned about their jobs. They are said to lack the zeal, the brightness
and the motivation of hardworking, people and generally they dislike hearing
anybody talk about efficiency, dedication, honesty, competence and productivity
all which characterize achievement of people in an organization (the guardian
2004).
Moreover, most
organization does not consider motivation technique as one of the ways in which
they can improve their employees productivity. They are mostly profit driven
and don’t think that by appropriate motivation of their employees, they will
achieve their objectives. These organization looks at the technical
qualifications experience, credentials and the aims of the individual they
employ such that these employees with right credentials, qualifications and
experiences are not rightly motivated in their job or work condition, their
performances tend to be below par.
1.2 OBJECTIVE
IF THE STUDY

is to show that an organization can achieve its objectives motivating its

Trust Bank Plc (GTB) Ilorin
branch as a case study. It also tries to find out if the organization as ever
used any motivational techniques with its employees and to know how the

limited as a result of time and resources. Due to the limited time made
available to the researcher for the completion and submission of study and also
the limited time in getting response from the respondents. It was quite
difficult to cover all aspect of the study, although they will be covered and
quite acceptable.
Finances has also being a
limitation to this research work, it would have been ideal to use several
topics is being used by the organization, but this would amount to little
financial input than is available.
However, even with the
limitation encountered during the course of the research, the quality of
information gathered was impressive, and it is hoped that the study will serve
as a reference point for other researches.
