CHAPTER ONE

1.0.   Introduction

     Chapter one looks at the general introduction where background of the study was discuss significance of the study as well as objectives and research question were highlighted.

1.1.   Background of the Study

     Motivation is concerned with why people do what they do. It answers such questions as why do managers or workers go to work and do a good job. This tries to explain what motivates people to act the way they do, with primary focus on the work place. It is the primary task of the manager to create and maintain all environments in which employees can work efficiently to realize the objectives of the organization.

     Employees differ not only in their ability to work but also in their will to do so (Motivation). To motivate is to induce, persuade, stimulate, even compel, an employee to act in a manner which fulfills the objectives of an organization. The motivation of employees depends on the strength of their motives. Motives are needs, want, drives, or impulses within the individual and these determine human behavior.

Motivation then is the process of:

a.     Arousing behavior

b.     Sustaining behavior in progress

c.      Channeling behavior into a specific course of action

Thus, motive (needs, desires) induce employees to act.

     Motivation, therefore, is inner state that energies, channels and sustains human behavior. Since it has been established that all behavior except involving responses are goals directed, manager can apply motivational theories of management in their attempt to direct the job behavior of employees towards the goal their establishment.   

1.2.   Statement of the Problem

     Workers have organization due to the fact that they are not motivated enough. Some are not willing to have because they are enjoying some benefit in terms of promotion which leads to increase in salaries and wages bonuses and some other incentives.

     Organizations must improve the work performance, productivity, skill and ability of its employees. The problem is how to motivate workers to achieving higher productivity.

1.3.   Purpose of the Study

-         The project aim to assist the farmers in Jigawa State in developing quality extension services and seed production by improving the technical training of front – line extension staff and providing some limited assistance in logistic support.

-         To strengthen hick ages among research extension and farmers in order to transfer the improved technologies from the research campuses known as small pilot scheme to farmers.

-         To enable small – scale farmer to establish management training pilot with supervision by Village Extension Agent (VEAs) and Block Extension Supervision (BES) i.e. Extension Officers. These can increase yields by about two and half (2.5) time compared to their traditional technologies.

It will be based on the examination of the motivation practice in JARDA, and to know the extent to which it is being carried out, the impact of incentive motivation on the workers, the organization and the country at large. More so, to acquaint the various managers and different categories of employees to the need to embrace motivation this will go a long way in achieving higher productivity.

     Besides, those students in the field of administration will find it educative, interesting and challenging in that, the various activities and techniques of motivation are revealed and logically analyzed.

Lastly, this project will be at value of those who may want to carryout similar research in the nearest future.
