1.0 INTRODUCTION
Motivation
has been defined on different ways by different scholars and the patterns of these
definition has helped on understanding motivation better some of these
definition are as follows.
Michael
(1978) defined motivation as the act of stimulating someone or asset to get a
desired course of action to push the button to get a desired reaction.
While
Hodgets (1977) viewed motivation as “the process of creating organizational
conditions which well impel employees to strive to attain company goals”
Viteless
(1953) says that motivation represents an unsatisfied need which creates a
state of tension or disquilibrium, causing the individual to move in a good
directed pattern towards restoring a state of equilibrium by statisfying the
need.
Kills
(1958) says that motivation is the stimulation of any emotion or desire
operating upon ones will and prompting or during it into action.
On
the other hands, Umukoro (1994) has defined motivation as “the in
terrelatinship between the needs and the fulfillment of the needs”.
Asika
(1995) queting Michael (1980) has defined motivation as “those psychological
process that course the arousal, direction and persistence of voluntary action
that are goal directed”.
A
motivated person is ready to act, R. stodyill (1959) defined motivation as a
function drives and confirmed desirability estimates regarding various
alternative satisfaction. How the motivated person decides to act is influence
by us or her perception of the situation. Two people in the same motivated
state and objective situation may act quite differently because they perceive
the situation differently.
Why
do people have different perceptions of the same situation? We start with the
nation that all of us is apprehend a stimulus object through sensations, that
is flows of information through one or more of our five sense sight, bearing,
smell, touch and taste, however, each of us attends, organize and interprets
his sensory information in an individual way. In fact, perception can be
defined as “the process by which an individual selects, organize and interpret
information inputs to creat a meaningful picture of world.
A larger
part of managers tasks is getting things done through people, he must therefore
try and understand peoples motivation. This aspect of the management element of
direction is concerned with inducing people to work to best of their ability.
Motivation
refers to the way urges, aspirations, drives and needs of human bangs direct
their behaviour.
M.D
Vernon (1969) defined motivation as the ludden urge within us which compels us
to behave in certain ways. Such urge may be purely instinctive. Motivation is
also the process of arousing emplyess enthusiasm to enable them perform their
duties with pleasure and interest in such a way that organizational goals will
be achieved.
Motivation
may be positive or negative, if it is positive (Carrot approach) when some valuable
rewards such as high pay, job security etc are offered for acceptable
performance. It is negative (stick approach) when a form of physical, financial
or social punishment such as loss of job, loose of income, reduction of or
demotion is out to an individual for low performance.
In
fact it has been observed that the performance of employees in work jetting or
at best in an organization is dependent on the degree of motivation given to
the employee by the employers(s), however, employees energy curve well be at
lowest when there are perceived inadequate motivation.
In
recent times, motivation of workers has been a subject of controversy between
workers and management. A worker (employee) feels satisfied (intrinsic), when
he is aptly he motivated, but dissatisfied (maintenance) when he is not
motivated. The motivational factors are:
i.
Achievement
ii.
Recognition
in work place
iii.
Good take
home package
iv.
Higher
responsibility
v.
Advancement
and growth
vi.
Training and
development
vii.
The work
itself
Maintenance factors are:
i.
Company
polity
ii.
Work
condition
iii.
Salary
iv.
Relationship
with peers
v.
Inter-personal
relationship with superior
vi.
Inter-personal
relationship with subordinates
vii.
Job security
The above factors are what Fredrick herzberg,
referred to as the “two factor theory” but if the above factors the
motivational facts are properly harnessed, the employees would perform better
in any organization.
Nevertheless,
contrary to what motivation is all about, some organizations choose the path of
rationalization for the sole aim of not paying a whopping sun as salary. The
workers also have chosen to commit fraud without recourse to equity due to job
insecurity occasional by frequent retrenchment exercise. This is the main
reason for sporadic fraud in banks as witnessed in the country on recent time.
In conclusion therefore, it has been noticed and conforded that lack of
motivation is the bone of frequent strukes and decreased productivity in an
organization; sums up the merits of motivation thus:
i.
It enhances
individual and organizational growth
ii.
It improves
productivity and performance
iii.
It enhance
quality
iv.
It improve
safety
v.
It enhances
group dynamism
vi.
It enhances
corporate image
vii.
It enhances
good labour management relations
1.1 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The modern organization is very complex and profit oriented. Various
reasons have been advanced for the performance and low productivity of an
average Nigerian worker. The major problem has been what is or the best means
of making workers perform well towards achieving the organization goals.
Various
theories on motivation has been postulated by various scholars of international
repute and it affects employees performance and productivity. Some of the
theories are examined below:
Abraham
Maslow of branches University, a prominent student of “Behaviour” has
propounded a theory on motivation known as the “herarchy of need”. The
underlying concept of the theory cannots that human needs are Lierachical; that
a need must be gratified before other needs will predominant. These needs,
according to Mashow, are the physiological) Biological needs, security (safety)
needs, social needs, Esteem needs and self, actualization. He (Maslow) strongly
believed that these needs are in linearity.
Another
scholar on motivation was claylon P, Alderfer’s needs theory. This theory
simply stated that human needs are circumstantial. These needs are: needs for
existence, relatedness and growth. The ERG theory. Alderfer fervently believed
that these needs are in a “continuum” tendency to move forward and backward according
to situation. This is a complete aberration from Maslow’s needs hierarchy.
Theory
x and y which was postulated by McGregor clearly indicates the inner essence of
a worker. A worker detested to work (theory X unless forced, the converse is
theory y.
The
“Equity” theory which was postulated by S.Adams (1963) generally explains how
employers should strive for justice and for play in their places of work and
how they are motivated to correct them. Other notable theories are:
i.
Fedrick
Herzberg – two factor theory
ii.
Victor room –
expectancy theory
iii.
David
mcclehand – need concept
Conclusively, we have observed that all the
aforementioned theories centered on motivation as it affects employees
performance in an organization. Therefore, employees should ensure to see that
its employees are adequately motivated to achieved the descred profit
maximization objective of the organization, since motivation. They say increase
out.
