INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background to
the Study
Business activities do not operates without the movement of individuals
and group letterset in such environment for some specific purpose. A major
characteristics or feature of any business concern is that it is made up of two
distinct or different set of staff with each having her well defined duty to
perform. Thus, they are the management staff
and the employed. The later category of staff is subordinates of the
former (Imafidon 2004).
Management sole responsibility is ensuring that it combines effectively
man, machine, materials and money (finance) in the desired form to the
accomplishment of organizational goals and objectives, these aforementioned
element are societal to the growth, survival and the future expansion of the
business concern.
Managing involves getting things done through others, usually the
subordinate. It is worth sating here that both the business environment and the
human factors individuals and dynamic in nature (EWERE 2003). The most dynamic
is the human factor.
This is because individuals tends to behave in such a way that would
bring about the achievement of certain results, which are personal in nature. Naturally
individuals have made to satisfy such needs, make the individuals to exhibits
some kings of behaviour that would lead to the satisfaction of those needs is
reinforcing desired behaviour in a positive fashion, it is important to
allocate rewards soon after the behaviour is affected so that the subordinate
perceived a delineate.
An unsatisfied need is sorting profit in the process of motivation.
Management should make sure that employee’s need are stratified especially,
adequate compensation this is commensurate to task being performed necessary fringe
benefit etc. should be given to the employees in order to display more sense of
commitment and dedication.
According to Davis, (1999) all those who are responsible for management
of any organization must built into the system, those factors that will index
people to contribute as effectively and efficiently as possible” (Ewere 2003)
another endeavour in which management should direct its attention in staff
motivation lies in the area of ensuring that employee work is conducted in a
conducive and attractive environment and more so, the provision of certain
necessary office facilities can not be over emphasized. Also management should
put in a system that would seen employee’s skills are adequately typed and a
room crated for the development of individual.
1.2 Statement of the
Research Problem
Statistics gathered from reliable sources have show that motivation is
not all about increasing of employee wages and salaries but also by the
following:
The organization should make the environment conducive for the employee,
cared support for the employee, meeting the employee at the point of their
needs. An unsatisfied employee can not carry out his duties, an employee should
be rewarded if well performed. The organization should make sure that there is
freedom of speech and the right of privacy. Thus this study intends to delve
into the efficiency of the various problems with a view to ascertaining the
inherent weakness of the above mentioned problems.

was to short, thus learning to room for normal process of living hence making
the study (research work) to do along with cashed programme of the school.
(b)
Financial Constraints: There was no enough fund
to fully carryout the various stages of the research work effectively. It was
not easy to write and type the various set of questionnaires administered also,
it was difficult to get the needed attention on time from the bank’s staff and
could not turn up for most engagement due to the fact that the cost of
transportation was unstable due to fuel scarcity.
(c)
The Polytechnic Library: The library which is
suppose to be the gate-way for information and a domain for dissemination of
knowledge, lacks current jonahs, textbooks and printed materials needed for the
research work and this greatly hampered the quality of the research work in areas
like literature review of the subsequent chapter of this research work as would
be seen latter.
