CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

  • Background of the study

 The The researcher is interested in the union Bank which was formerly know as Barclay’s bank was a product of the post independence indignation process in Nigeria as part of the abortive banking boom and crash the late 1940s and early so, 1959 saw the biggest country was of coursed triggered off by the establishment of CBN and the era of the free bank period. This period saw the establishment of the Barclay’s bank domination with others. Although many later fails such as the industrial and commercial bank the Nigeria merchandise bank etc. Today the Union Bank Plc has emerged as the leader in the banking sector in Nigeria with both the largess number of shareholder and the greater asset base.  Even in the face of the unfavourabe business atmosphere and crunching policy the bank has defined all to lead the column of both the new generation bank and its contemporaries. The question is why all the success stories? It correct that there must have been  the product alternative motivation factor, It is not easy to motivate an individual, for the success of any motivational effort depends on the extent of which the motivator meets the needs of the individual employees for whom it is intended. Motivation is an internal psychological process whose presence or absence is intended from observed performance. In Nigeria today, lack of proper managerial knowledge, economic depression and high rate of unemployment have made most workers subjected to themselves, to deplorable working conditions, which of course are the catalyst of low performance.

The management of most organization tends to believe that workers are satisfied with their job but unfortunately they are not.

The disadvantage of these to the employers that workers will not put in their best and the result will be low performance.

Managers in most of the organization are aware of the situation in the labour market, and as such went to capitalize on that to subject workers to deplorable working condition. It is when one is satisfied both physically and psychologically that such a person can perform his best. Therefore, intimidating workers or threatening to sack can only worsen the situation. But cannot solve it. Job satisfaction presupposes going to work and getting believed of work done. In Nigeria, most at times, the pay given to a worker is not commensurable to the type of work done. This is the reason why sometimes efficient and experience worker leave an organization for another organization that pay more or stay in the organization and perform below expectation. Why the bank is not particularly affected like others with frequent staff management disagreement motivation as the root?

1.2              STATEMENT OF PROBLEM 

The study is concerned with the motivation of bank workers for higher productivity in the banking sector.  As effective motivation of workers  is very important for the function of any business most especially in the Nigeria banking sector. The caliber of those that run most of the banking sector have not developed that ability to attract and maintain competent mangers and customers.

Event in the recent year has been a near collapse of this sector leaving many bank in distressed contribution and liquidation while some have managed to survive.

The fact therefore remains flaring that the banking sector and other matter making organization in federal no matter how sophistically well designed its building is still built on efficiency of the available human resources and actual input which has its root at internal during forces developed by that makes the human recourses in the organization and the bank in particular.  It therefore take the with and dedication of this groups for this tools to actually function effectively.

Considering the above therefore the need for a diligent and lowest work force for higher productivity cannot be over emphasized. My believe than remain that this is a resultant effect of workers motivation.  Poor motivation may portray learn display of lack of interest in the work through non-challant attitude to things that would have helped the banks fortune.
