Motivation as an Instruments of
Performance in Edo State Civil Service
Ajayi AdeolaDepartment of Public Administration
Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife,Osun State,Nigeria
ABSTRACT
The study examined motivation as an
instrument of performance Edo State Civil
Service. It also identified the motivational
strategies that exist in Edo State Civil Service.
In addition, the degree of implementation of
these motivational strategies in Edo State
Civil Service was examined as well as the
effectiveness of the identified motivational
strategies on the productivity of the Civil
Servants in Edo State.
The study used both primary
provision of working tools are motivational
mechanisms adopted by the Edo State Civil
Service towards increase in employees
productivity.
The finding of the study revealed that
!ob satisfaction level of staffs of Edo State
civil Service is affected or determined by a
number of factors which include wages and
salary, pension and gratuity, promotion work
environment and the work condition. The
study also revealed that the Edo State Civil
Service motivational strategies like prompt
payment of salary and granting of housing
and car loans are poorly implemented. The
study posits that the morale and initiatives ofthe Edo State Civil Servants is dampened due
to the improper implementation of these
motivational strategies which may not at all
times be disconnected from politics of
favoritism and nepotism.
The study concluded that employers
should be able to help employees see that
the organi"ation can help them satisfy their
needs and utili"e their potentials to
contribute to the achievement of the
organi"ational goal. #orkers are affected by
different needs at different times$ this means
that individual worker is motivated
differently. %lso, those human needs could
be interdependent and overlapping. The
government should Endeavour to integrate
goals of the organi"ation with those of its
employees and continue to adopt the
supportive management techni&ue.
