CHAPTER ONE
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

There is probably no concept more important than motivation, in the
study of employee’s behavior in many organization. A manager may
consider motivation as an inducement (financial or otherwise) given to the
employees to ginger them to work more. By this measure, organization
goals and objectives are achieved. On the other hand, employees usually
associate motivation with some monetary values.
Motivation is a pervasive function that cuts across all aspect of
employee’s development. It is often discussed by people in any
organization. Management cannot operate in isolation of their employees
because they are human beings and not machines or tools which are utilize
recklessly or in a rough manner.
In today’s economy, employers have gone beyond being just employers
because of their interest in the management of employee’s productivity.
Most business personnel have realize more than ever before that their
organizational set goals and objectivities cannot be achieved if their
employee do not perform as much as expected. This is the reason for much
concentration of effort on the concept of motivation which is concerned
with encouraging workers or employees to attain to the best of their ability.

Human resources, both in private or public sector are the most assets
essential in any given organization, hence must be handled with care.
Motivation of the employee is the areas management should concern in
other to ensure the realization of the planned goals and objective of their
organization.

People go to work in organization not for the sake of work itself but
with the aim of achieving their individual objective. It then follows that the
key of motivation is the satisfaction of needs. A worker will be motivated if
he feels his organization is helping him to satisfy needs to a reasonable
extent. In view of the fact that needs are sophisticated in nature, there has
been a growing importance to understand these needs by some behavioral
scientists. Thus, we have a lot of motivational theories like those

propounded by Abraham Maslow, Vroom, Fredrick Herzberg to mention
but a few.

The needs of people are in a continuum; sometimes it could be
intrinsic or extrinsic. An individual’s need, at any particular times depends
on the value he places on it at that time and most times it goes hand in
hand with societal values. So, different people would want and need
different things in different situation and at different times. (Drucker
1974:120)

In Nigerian, a critical analysis of many enterprises would reveal that
both the intrinsic and extrinsic reward for work is neglected. This problem
rears its ugly head mostly in public institution like in Power Holding
Company of Nigerian Enugu state.

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.

indolence among employees. it has been observed that the Nigerian

work well.

The work situation in the power sector like Power Holding Company
