EMPLOYEES’ MOTIVATION AND ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE IN THE

BANKING SECTOR (NIGERIA AS A CASE STUDY).

A PROPOSE RESEARCH THESIS BY ERIBO EGHOSA BEN


(PROSPECTIVE MASTER STUDENT)

INTRODUCTION:
Organisations are concerned with how to attain and sustain productivity labor inputs (Elomien,
Nchuchuwe, Idowu & Onabote, 2021). The success of an organisation greatly depends on the
quality of the people who work there to achieve the organisation’s objectives (Nwaeke &
Obiekwe, 2017). Performance is a measure of customer satisfaction achieved through employee
motivation to proffer quick decisional solutions to problems hindering growth and development
of any organisation (Abner & Samuel, 2019).Workers leave organisation due to the fact that they
are not motivated enough, some are not willing to leave because they are enjoying some benefits
in terms of promotion, which leads to increase in wages and salaries, bonuses and some other
incentive packages (Chukwuma & Obiefuna, 2014).

The role of employees in any organisation cannot be overemphasized as they are charged with
the responsibilities of putting other factors of production (e.g., capital, land, material finance or
resources, time) to use in order to attain organisational goals. The success of any organization
depends on the ability of managers to provide a motivating work environment for their
employees (Osabiya, 2015). It is important for organisations to hold their employees in high
esteem so that they can contribute effectively and efficiently in carrying out their productive
activities. Organisations should, therefore, provide the context within which high levels of
motivation can be achieved by providing incentives and rewards, a satisfying work environment
and opportunities for learning and growth (Ogbogu, 2017).

Motivation is one of the key factors that can enhance the level of employee commitment in
carrying out their responsibilities for maximum output. Motivation in the context of performance
takes on factors or zeal, encouraging employees to pursue and realize set objectives (Abner &
Samuel, 2019). Being able to establish workplace motivation is an essential tool for employees to
achieve set goals. Willingness on the part of employees to put in their best efforts without
compulsion in order to achieve organisational goals and objectives is the hallmark of motivation
(Gberevbie, 2017).

There is a general notion which forms the basis of the research statement of this propose thesis
that if only management can identify other things that can motivate the workforce apart from
money, perhaps there will be a dramatic reduction in the demand by workers for pay rises. Less
time will be spent on the annual ritual of management / workers union negotiation meetings
(Badu, 2010).

In the past few years, there has been great deal of researches carried out by scholars in the area of
employee motivation and organizational performance (Abah & Nwokwu, 2016). It is evident in
extant literature that a lot has been done on the relationship between motivation of employees
and organizational performance. However, majority of the studies made use of large scale non-
banking sector as a case studies which does not extensively reveal the challenges and effect of
motivation and performance to the organisations that are into financial services. Also it appears
that there is no general agreement regarding the effects of employees’ motivation on
organizational performance which this thesis tends to solve in the research hypothesis. Due to
inherent problems in most organisations which has to do with low salaries, irregular promotional
structure and lack of recognition of worker’s achievements including poor labour laws and work
ethics. All these tend to dampen worker’s morale and consequently affect their productivity.
Hence, the study wants to close the gaps in literature by examining extensively the influence of
employees’ motivation on organizational performance in the banking sector with focus on the
Nigerian banks.
