1.9THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
There
are many competing theories which attempts to exampling the nature of
motivation. These theories are all at least partially true, and all help
to explain the behaviour of certain people at certain times. However,
the search for a generalized theory of motivation at work place appear
to be elusive (Mullins Ibid: 414). Handy (1993:16) suggest that the
search for definitive solution to the motivation problems is another
endless quest for the Holy Grial in or organization theory.
It is
because of the complexity of motivation and the fait that there is no
ready made solution or single answer to what motivates people to work
well that the different theories are important to the manager (Mullins
Ibid) they shows there which influences people’s behaviour and
performance. Collectively, the different theories provide a framework
within which to direct attention to problem of how best to motivate
staff work willingly and effectively.
Nevertheless these study is
based on professor Abraham Maslow (1954) motivation theory. To him,
man’s need are hierarchical. First there ware physiological needs; there
are need for safety and protection’s third there are need for
companionship affection, and love relationships in the family, work
group and community, forth these are needs for respect, social standing
and esteem as gained through achievement and through recognition by
others; Fifth, there are needs for self actualization which is the
filament of one’s potentialities. According to Maslow, there is no line
of demarcation between each level of needs but generally, when a man
gratifies the first level of needs, the second level becomes more
important to him, and so on, Abraham Maslow accepted the fact that his
theory of hierarchy of needs may not be valid for person with
different.
