CHAPTER ONE
1.1
BACKGROUND OF STUDY
In Nigeria today, we are faced with the problem of economic set back resulting
from world-wide economic recession and the level of input into anything to
produce an output.
Basically, some of the silent issue of any organisation globally is motivation
it private or public organisation. The human factor of any organisation cannot
be over emphasized. Without doubt, people are the pivot of central point on
which any organisation like the College of Education, Ekiadolor as a case study
revolves and they are instrumental in every aspect of the institution. It is
therefore paramount to note that motivation is of vital importance to the
success to an organisation. In view of it's relevance, effort have to be made
to ensure that workers both academic and non-academic staff put in their best
for the benefit of the institution.
It is obvious that the amount of effort workers will put on a job depends
largely on the degree of motivation they received. Motivation in the management
circle, refer to workers performance in the attainment of institutional goals.
It is also seen as that inner force which direct an individual to do certain
things at a given place over a given period of time.
However, what motivates people in a given period of time varies from person to
person. Most management believes that those things which motivates their
workers are monetary rewards and bonus or fringe benefits. But these ideas have
been proved wrong by managerial experience. However, there are more silent
factors that motivate people greatly, these includes incentives that relates to
affiliation and personal recognition, sense of belongings, security,
sympathetic, understanding of personal problems and work well done.
Barelson and Stainer (1994:42) sees motivation as an inner state that
energises, activates, move and direct or channels behaviour towards goals.
In a working environment like the College of Education, Ekiadolor, motivation
is an effort designed to energise or induce workers as the case may be to
perform effectively as to enhance fulfilment of goals.
Flippo (1983) added that just as employee has certain wants tar employers are
expected to supply, the institution in another hand have certain types of
behaviour that it hopes to elicit from the employee. It therefore becomes
instructive that to strike a balance and create a harmonious co-existence,
management has to consider side by side.
The research shall in the course of work focus on the effect of motivation in
respect of Academic Staff and Non-academic Staff of College of Education,
Ekiadolor, like any other institution, workers needs and wants are no doubt
numerous. However, these desires should be satisfied in order to prevent
frustration, which could be capable of lowering the moral of the individual
worker and thereby generating adverse effect on performance and ultimately
productivity needed.
1.2
STATEMENT OF PROBLEMS
College of Education, Ekiadolor, like any other institution or organisation in
Nigeria is rapidly expanding, this growth calls for an increase in the demand
for skilled human resources especially those trained for the job, which is in
short supply.
It is very important to note that every head of institution required skilled,
talented, experienced and specialised academically in order to enable the
achieve their specific objectives and goals of the institution. To achieve
these objectives, staff in order to discover those attributes inherent in these
staff. Without adequate planning, execution and control measures, all efforts
directed towards the motivation of the performance of staff may be useless. So
in that case, management should strive to know the particular needs and the
aspiration of their staff in order to be able to motivate him or her because if
the worker are not motivated, it then becomes a problem which will lead to the
dissatisfaction in their job.
Another problematic question here is that to what extend does salary paid to
workers helps to motivate and retain them. Dale Beach (1983:35) said work
manifests significance over and above its strength economic function by
providing social relationship, self-esteem, sense of identity. This implies
that work serves many perceptible purpose.
In view of the above problem, this research work is designed on how to
motivate staff and also to know the causes of the low performance of
staff in College of Education, Ekiadolor and how the management would affect
and change because staff motivation is important as it is the tool or weapon
use in achieving the goals of profit maximisation in an organisation.
