Employee motivation on organizational performance: A case study in Nigeria

Motivation has always been a major challenge for businesses all over the world, particularly in the manufacturing industries, where undeniable levels of productivity influence or play a significant role in determining an organization's profitability, development, advancement, soundness, and future success. As a result, if a company wants to retain a competitive edge over its competitors while also avoiding a steady decline in employee productivity, it must ensure that employees are sufficiently motivated. The purpose of this research is to look at the impact of employee motivation on organizational performance. In investigating the motivation on organizational performance levels, this study used a descriptive and causal research design as well as an overview approach. Following that, the study's total population was 200 people. The number of people in the sample has been set at 150. A well-organized self-controlled questionnaire was used as the major data collecting tool, and it was distributed to 150 respondents, of whom 70 were retrieved and properly filled out. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.723, indicating that the study instrument was reliable. Multiple regression analysis was used to examine the data. The results of the experiments revealed that there is a strong link between employee motivation and organizational productivity. This research also indicated that business leaders should make appropriate allocations when assessing the factors that drive their employees and seek for ways to ensure that they are properly motivated to increase their performance and productivity.
