STAFF MOTIVATION AND JOB PERFORMANCE IN PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT (A CASE STUDY OF CROSS RIVER STATE)

Abstract

Employers are faced with the task of motivating employees and creating high job satisfaction among their staff. Creating programs and policies that develop job satisfaction and serve to motivate employees takes time and money to create. When the employer understands the benefits of job satisfaction and motivation in the workplace, though, the investment in employee related policies can be justified. The purpose of any motivation programme is to motivate the organizations employees to enable them work effectively. However, motivating employees is not an easy thing as what motivates employees differs among people. This paper intended to establish a set of factors that can motivate employees and to establish the policy implications of these factors for managing staff. It was found that Pay and Promotion is the most important motivational factor followed by Good working conditions. The paper revealed that these two factors are not the only factors that are needed to motivate employees.
