1.0 Introduction

1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

There are various reasons why people work to earn respect among associates to earn salaries and wages to acquire prestige and honour to achieve excellence in chosen a career, to socialize with others, to dominate what a variety of reasons, but culture is indeed a determining factor.

Often what makes the difference between belling and organizations is the workers healthy organization are known for operating with highly motivated workers Healthy organization are known of –operating with highly motivate workers while the sick ones are filled with poorly motivate workers what govern basic principles human motivation seen not to vary with workers and organization but variables that define workers feeling of satisfaction at work differ.

Howell and Dipboye(1982.160) are of the view that workers satisfaction heavily depends on the organization’s ability to discover sustain and meet workers needs productivity also

to a large extent, is influenced by the level of worker’s motivation Hence the role of workers satisfaction can hence be played down.

Every human motive is based constantly on needs satisfaction the need may be consciously or unconsciously felt. One of the problems confronting public administrators today is that of motivating workers to perform assigned tasks to meet or surpass predetermined standard.

To motivate a subordinate mean doing those things which the subordinate hopes will satisfy this need and desire that an consequently induce him/her to act in a desired name, so it is therefore it responsibility of public Administrators to other opportunities for employees to satisfy there personal need in a way that leads to the accomplishment of organization objective, Simeon Baadom (2003: 213)

Motivation result from a felt heed or an user directed in the individual who moves in a certain direction in order to achieve the desired objective reduces the tension.A satisfied need does not motivate but an unsatisfied need motivate ,management theory practice Nwachukwu (1997:16)

A motivate workers are those who see their work as helping them accomplish important goals. But if our targets and expectative are not met through our industries organization then we will be disinterested and less motivated.

All organization are concerned with what should be done to achieve a sustained high level of performance through their employees.

This means giving close attention to how worker or employees can best be motivated through such means as rewards, incentives, leadership, and importantly the satisfaction they derive from being a part of the organization on the other have this equally apply to the customers. That is the satisfaction they derive from consuming the organization products and services.

That is why motivation is defined as the willingness to excel high level of effort towards.

Organization goals. It can also be achieve a goals or leeward. Motivation is paramount in any organization, in order to equip, the public services workers with necessary skill that would help them function effectively to achieve a particular goal of the organization or of public services is been conducted. The social attitude and behaviour need to be reformed through some motivation techniques because it is only through the public services and the parastatals that one nations can achieve her goal effectively and efficiency this is why the public services need to be motivated by their employees.

Lack of motivation in the organization has resulted to low productively, like warn attitudes on the part of the employees and general derive in the work to be done. actually with the above many workers in the Nigerian public services have little or no respect and regard for their job. This is based on the fact that even when they work and die in course of their job, nothing is been done to the deceased family. With this notice in mind, publics services will even compromise their positions only to tech “external monetary income. The above does not only lead to how productively, but also impose delay in the administration of their duties although the federal governments have made some attempt to set new standards for the public services. One of these special measures was great purge of the public services and provision of watchdogs over the conduct of the public service workers. One the contrary these measures did not lead to increase in productively as executed, rather those that replace the purged workers tend to do like wise.

Since motivation is that internal urge or force that drives one to action toward the actualization of personal goals. It is only when workers are motivated by their employers that they will put their best once there are motivational factor in the public services, there will be a educational commitment on the side of the workers another issue to be looked into in the motivation of public services, is the issue of promotion, provision of conducive atmosphere for the improvement of the work setting a clearly defined and modernized communication network should be employed in the public services.

The inability of the manager or the Director to make all the above factors available would lead to downfall in the public services performance and as such certain ugly trend needs to be redressed for optimum efficiency.
