EFFECT OF MOTIVATION AND EMPLOYEE PRODUCTIVITY IN NIGERIA PUBLIC SERVICE (A CASE STUDY OF THE OKE-OGUN POLYTECHNIC, SAKI)
Abstract
This study examined the effect of staff motivation on job performance and organizational productivity in The Oke-Ogun Polytechnic, Saki. Motivation was explored as a key tool used by management to inspire employees to meet institutional goals. Using a descriptive survey design, both academic and non-academic staff were selected for the study, with data gathered through questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS. The study revealed that access to job-related information, clear responsibilities, steady promotion, and good salary structure were critical to productivity. A significant majority of respondents agreed that job security, financial incentives, and a good working environment greatly impact motivation and performance. The study concluded that effective motivation strategies—ranging from communication, equipment provision, and staff welfare to promotion and fair remuneration—are vital for institutional success. It recommended that organizations provide adequate incentives, supportive working conditions, and fair promotion schemes to enhance productivity.
