Abstract:
Motivation has been a major issue for most working organisations across the world. Industrial unrests have been rampant especially in our country Ghana.
This study was carried out to find out how adequate motivation impacts on workers’ productivity.
No sampling was done in soliciting data. The entire management and staff of the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority, Sunyani Branch were studied using questionnaires to solicit for responses due to their small number.
The data generated in this study were analysed and the findings are discussed according to the various questions that served as a guide for the collection of data. We realized that the workers perceived all forms of motivation be it intrinsic or extrinsic. From the responses gathered, they seem to hold esteem both the monetary and non-monetary aspects of motivation.
The responses that were given to the questions in the questionnaire were to identify whether our objectives would be realized. We could see from the responses that there is clearly a relationship between motivational factors and productivity be it an intrinsic factor or an extrinsic factor.
Motivation thus, enhances workers productivity.
Description:
Humans are influenced by certain activities around their habitat or working environment. Our primary concern will be on the working class in the society. In fact, in every organisation employees play a very significant role in the success story of that organisation. Their commitment and untiring efforts enable the attainment of strategic goals and objectives set by their employer(s). Employees well being is therefore paramount in every organisation.
We often encounter in our print and other forms of media about workers agitating for good working conditions and salary increment which they perceive gives them a sound mind to work. These elements as agitated by workers clearly have necessitated the essence and significance of motivation to be delved into as strikes of different forms are becoming one too many.
This study was carried out at the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) Sunyani Branch to some extent, ascertain the essence and significance of motivation on employee performance.
