MOTIVATION AND EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR A CASE STUDY OF NIGERIA Television Authority (NTA) ABA ABIA-STATE.

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION.

People work generally in order to make moneys food their families and enjoy better condition of live.  Hence, if the perform very well, they will make more than they earn before especially when they have skills and energy to do so.

          Motivation implies incentives and inducements which will make a worker feel more committed to duty and also motivations and employee  performance are vital tools to achieve  organizational goals and objectives

          Motivation can be defines as a way individuals  reacts to any  needs, idea emotion or organic state of action. If is t he driving  resect from the materiel tension that  occurs when the need has not been satisfies. Generally, the definition of motivation is concerned with three feature as follows of motivation is concerned   with three major features as follows

  1. Determination of actions required satisfying the need
  2.   What directs or channels such behavior
  3.     identification of law  this behaviour is maintained or sustained

in the problem sectors it is the duty of the manager to add a little  incentive to motivate him workers for greater performance and higher productivity in the organization. in this context for example. We must have information on the needs people experience or the out come they seek in order to  provide the types of reward they find attraction of the same time, these rewards or incentives must be administered, so that the people are encouraged to engage in the behaviour required by the Organisation. these incentives include. Extra hours bonus at  lowery rate, availability of    basic facility e.g pope borne water, elericity etc car loans which will enhance the prestige and personality of the worker in the society, free health services for the families of the workers, relieve duties and last but not the least job schedules etc.

          then  aspect of employee performance in the organization of should be pointed out that employee’s   performance appraisal is very much dependent on the perceptual process.

          According to Stephen p. Robbins Organizational behaviour said  that an emlopyee future is closely field to his  or her  appraisal promotion pay raises and continuation of employment are among the obvious out come. More also,  Heinz Weihrich et al 1994 “management  a global perspective “said that to succeed in any business organisation whether public or  privator sectors it is important and appropriate incentives high will guarantee optional effective and efficiency for each employee. Effective managers achieve at high level of employee performance with an available resources to vary degree, including  money and other physical as a “resource”  in a relatively incest development and has encounters some resistance who is understandable since people process for greater intrinsic work than either money or  materials

Describing people as a  resource  undresses the fact that they require certain levels of care attention and Coppertone also the practices of management 1961, by Peter Drucker in regard to employee performances  change management with three furutions in order to acquire source productivity  . These functions are  economic  performance, managing manager and managing worker are work. if is assured that man alone of all three resources available to him can  group and develop any public or private sector or organisation . 

          Many mangers regard the management of their subordinates (employee) as fist and  foremost a day to day activity concerned with relation of work, which is compared with competence in the management of inter personal    relationship and  control of   behaviour. White others do not aid they would be loosing thousands of what they suppose to acquire batter productivity.

          In condusion, all these help to motivitate a worker to pat in his or her best effort  to see the success and growth of the organisation. And  also all be the management talking active part in handing these two factor (motivation and employee performance ) their main and objective ill be highly realized ie.  Profit and  high productivity .
