An Assessment on the Impact of Motivation on Employee Performance at the Workplace

Abstract

The primary goal of the study was to identify the driving forces behind employee performance at work. A total of 100 respondents were given semi-structured questionnaires to complete, and 84 of them responded, representing an 84% response rate. The research plan for the study used both qualitative and quantitative techniques. A descriptive statistical method was used to assess the data. The study findings were presented using tables and figures. According to the survey, the reasons for underperformance include low salary, nepotism, tribalism, and corruption in the promotion process. Training and growth, however, are the current motivating factors at work, it was noted. The study came to the conclusion that nepotism, corruption, tribalism, low remuneration, and a lack of empowerment are to blame for the lack of motivation and subpar performance of public sector workers. The strategies relating to training and development are, nevertheless, very well carried out. The researcher suggests that management reexamine its motivating tactics and put them into practice to inspire all personnel to improve their performance and, as a result, accomplish the organization's goals.
