INTRODUCTION
- Background of the study
Sometimes, one wonders why some people perform more than others on the job or better still why people work hard. Man in his natural from is somehow lazy and always tries to gravitate towards his comfort unless some kind of force or situation arouses his desire to move out of his confronts zone in other to avert negative consequences or reap a positive reward as it becomes the motives for his working towards his set target (motivating factor). Given the above illustration, management scholars have tried to define, what motivate is all. The Webster, Encyclopedic Dictionary of the English Language (1995) said that motivation relates to the sense need or year etc that prompts an individual to act-also-Wale Adewunmi (1992) defined motivation as “the inner stimulus that induces one to behave the way he does”. It has to do with inner state that energizes, activates or moves and therefore directs behaviour towards goals. In all organisation, productivity is beckoned on the design of its incentive variables to balance among various management levels. There are several incentive variables that couls motivates people to work to their optional level and when these variables are not there, their productivity will be greatly affected. This may come in the form of a well packaged remuneration. Skill others may not necessarily be motivated with a well packaged incentive scheme. The group believe that “money is not every thing”. “People work for broadly defined rewards”. These rewards can be broken down into two general classes know as intrinsic and extrinsic rewards. Extrinsic rewards include figure pay proportion, compliments etc, and are often independence of the task performed and are controlled by other people. Intrinsic rewards on the other hand include the feeling of accomplishment of task and is administered by the individual doing the task. However, workers performance in an organization depends on these rewards among other incentives which may in one way or the other command for satisfaction. Incentives are objectives or goals which are capable of satisfying what the employee views as need, drive or desire. It include accredited payment for improved productively as well as environment condition for example, infrastructures, transportation facilities, canteen services etc, though they do not directly provide income to workers, but are necessary for their effective performance. In other words incentives do not only refer to wages payment but other things like job enrichment, free flow of information, give relationship among junior and senior officers. Above all, the recognition accorded to a long way to induce and energize them to work harder to achieve not only the organization goals but also societal goals. It is worthy of not that such incentives like monetary rewards which may motivate the younger people who are beginners or the lower class of people in the society may no necessarily be motivating factor for some middle class and upper class of people in the society. People in various positions, even though at a similar level, must be given incentives, which reflect their individual performance and expectations. A higher performance must be rewarded more that the lower performance for a feeling of equity to prevail.
One of the major problems facing most employers in both public and private sector is how to motivate their employees in order to improve performance. Economics is largely based on the assumption that monetary incentives improve performance. It is generally believed that effect of monetary incentives is unambiguously positive a large monetary incentive improves employee performance. The issue of employee performance cannot be over emphasized. The general believed is that employees will not perform to the best of their ability unless they are motivated to do so. Various researchers have come up with various ways to motivate people at work. However, because human beings are different from one another in terms of needs, culture, religion etc. so does what motivate them also varies. Some employees are motivated by financial and other incentives and some nonfinancial incentives. Recent studies have shown that a combination of financial and non-financial incentives can motivates employee to perform well on their job. Managers continuously seek for ways to create a motivating environment where employees will work at their optional levels to achieve the organizational objectives. Work place motivators include both monetary and non-monetary incentives. Monetary incentives can be diverse while having a similar effect on associates. The purpose of monetary incentives is to reward employees for excellent job performance through money. Research shows that desired monetary incentives differ for employees based on career stage and generation. Since human resource is the most valuable resource of any organization, it must activate, train, develop and above all motivate in order to achieve individual and organizational goals.
In this age and time when every nation is striving to be on top of others technologically, politically and economically, the problem of motivation cannot be over emphasized and should not be trampled under the fact, as the will to do” is an essential ingredient of a labor force.
Management is best understood from a resource base perspective. All organization use four base kinds of inputs or resources from their environment, human, finance, materials and information resources. Management is responsible for cobbling and coordinating resources to achieve the organizational functions or activities, planning and decision making, organizing, leading and controlling.
There is a range of motivational techniques that can be used to improve productivity, reduce workforce stress and increase self-confidence. Some managers believe that they can achieve result from teams by using coercing methods.
However these factors can indeed produce result, the effect will probably be much more short term and will mean that staffs are forces on achieving business objectives but rather on simply keeping their jobs.
