CHAPTER 1
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The
purpose of this work is to highlight the importance of motivating workers or
employees in the realization of corporate objectives of the organization
especially in the public service sector. A cursory examination of what keeps
the organization going and it is going to be a collective responsibility of all
its members.
The
public service sector is the main focus in which we shall be examining the
effect of motivation in the performance of its worker. The public sector as
viewed by some scholars of public administration who perceived the public
sector as a system which exists in a dynamic equilibrium with external
environment.
Furthermore,
one of the problems confronting Public Service management is that of motivating
workers to perform assigned tasks to meet or surpass predetermined standards.
It
will not be an understatement to say that it is not easy to motivate an individual,
for the success of any motivational efforts depends on the extent to which the
motivator meets the needs of the individual employee for whom it is intended.
The issue on how best to motivate worker to achieve desired objectives has long
been one of the worlds' most important, difficult and controversial problems.
It is
therefore, worthy of note, that the value of the need to motivate worker cannot
be fully appreciated until we understand the worker's notion about work, the
attitude of a worker to work and the value the worker places on the work, in
addition, we have to realize that since the entrepreneur expects a yield or returns
on his investments, management has to do everything possible to encourage the
worker to put in his best in order that expected returns is made possible.
In
other words, the worker's notion to work can be described as any undertaking by
human beings involving mental and or physical efforts for a reward to keep body
and soul together. It is therefore an input by a human being in the clear
understanding that he would be materially compensated sufficiently to enable
him and his dependents continue to exist in reasonable comfort. Permit me to
say that all workers see work as first and foremost as a means of livelihood.
This
work seeks to examine the need for motivating worker, problems of who and how
to motivate workers and types of motivational strategy that would be effective
in the public service in particular.
