1.2 RESEARCH AIM
The
aim of this area of study (MOTIVATION) is to bring out the fact that it
is necessary that managers recognize that organizational objectives are
not just achieved without the participation of individuals.
That
there are motivational techniques for management to use in realization
of the organization's goal. Individuals need training for efficiency and
skill, they need rest, they need functioning machines and other
effrontery inputs, and they also need money to be able to fend for other
social and physical needs. It is also an objective of this study to
highlight some of the bottlenecks in motivational techniques as regards
establishments. This study will also proffer solutions to identified
problems and research questions raised at the later part of this
write-up. This subject is also chosen to further educate employers of
labour that in any human endeavor, there is need for motivation. In
actual fact, psychologists have identified man as a social being that
needs to be adequately motivated to enhance his or her performance and
make him/her produce at the optimal level. In view of this,the more
workers are motivated, the better they will perform on their jobs. Most
employers of labour have more often than not ignored this technique even
in this critical period of the nation's economic development when
workers should be adequately motivated in order to tum round the
economy.
In this country today, some experts contend that
companies will continue to operate below capacity unless workers are
motivated to break into higher levels of productivity. There is the need
to advise the employers to break the barrier levels of productivity and
ensure that employees put in their best.
Furthermore, attention of
the employers of labour should be drawn to the fact that almost every
employee behaves like a child that is to say that if you attend to the
need of a child, his/her would want to do anything to impress you. The
same any employer who reconciles his workers aspiration with
organizational needs to operate profitably will be running a successful
team.
This is because there exists correlation between motivation and
performance of a given task. The best way to make any serious
organization grow is, by way of creating humane working conditions for
workers.
Corporate organizations need to know their workers
individually. Keep-up- to date record of what is happening to them and
what interest in and out of the workplace, provide them with
increasingly many challenging opportunities and remember to wait for
signals indicating that they have reached the limits of their
productivity levels.
There is always the need to immediately recognize good performance with prompt and appropriate rewards.
In
ministries, decision makers should always remember to co-opt their
workers in decision making especially when it relates to how the job can
be done better. Furthermore, they should always be encouraged to bring
up ideas on how to carry out the job. Above all, there should be free
flow of information between management and workers. It is an established
truth that organizations have a lot of benefits if they improve the
lots and welfare of their workers and it will reduce the constant
conflict in work places which invariably results to loss of many
man-hours when workers are agitating for better pay-packages or general
condition of service.
1.3 RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
The main objective
of this research work is to bring to the knowledge of academicians,
policy makers, students, government and every concerned individual that
in any venture where human interests are involved, motivation is the
only source through which aims and objectives of an organization can be
achieved.
This study, after completion is expected to show to the
generality of the people, the would be managers and administrators as
well as practicing managers that for their organizations to be
successful, they must try to maintain conducive organizational
atmosphere for their workers to perform from time to time.
For these and other reasons, I intend to look into the following:
(i)
What have been the contributions of motivation in task and job mobility
in an organization and do workers perceive them?
(ii) What have
been the responsible factors to the failure of most management despite
all other managerial functions employed to the effective running of the
organization?
(iii) The need for all managers at all levels of management in organizations to motivate their employees.
(iv) The cause of low productivity in most organizations.
(v) How can organization reduce the ever-increasing rate of strike actions, which have become the order of the day.
It is imperative that solution to the above problems must be found at the end of this work.

Respondents were selected based on simple random sampling technique. Sample size of Thirty Five (35) respondents were selected from the staff of the institution.Three hypotheses were formulated and tested with the use of Chi-square analysis. The analysis resulted to rejecting all null hypotheses and hence accepting the three al ... Continue reading---
