ABSTRACT
The issue of motivation has continually posed a big challenge to business
organizations around the globe especially in the manufacturing industries where high levels of
productivity affect or play a major role in determining the profitability, growth, development,
stability and future success of an organization. Therefore an organization in a bid to achieve
success in maintaining a
competitive edge over its rival as well as avoid a steady decline in the
productivity levels of its
employees, must ensure members of the workforce are adequately motivated. The
primary
purpose of this study is to examine the effect of employee motivation on
organizational
productivity. This study adopted a descriptive and causal research design as
well as the survey
method in investigating the effects of motivation on organizational
productivity levels. The
entire population of the study was 475 as a result the sample size determined
is 217. A well-
structured self-administered questionnaire was used as the main tool for data
collection and was
administered to 217 respondents out of which 185 were retrieved and
appropriately filled.
Reliability of the research instrument was calculated and the Cronbach’s alpha
coefficient was
0.868. Data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis. From the
hypotheses tested, the
result indicated that there is a significant relationship between employee
motivation and
organizational productivity. Findings also revealed that 35.8% of the
variations in productivity
can be explained by employee motivation in the organization used as a study in
this research.
The results also revealed that extrinsic factors were considered to have more
significant effects
on organizational productivity than intrinsic factors. The study concluded that
although both
intrinsic and extrinsic factors are significant predictors of productivity,
extrinsic factors appear to
be more significant or valued by respondents in the organization used as a
study. Furthermore
this study also recommended that management of organizations should take
appropriate
measures in figuring out those factors that motivate their employees and seek
ways of ensuring
that they are adequately motivated in order to improve their performance and
productivity levels.
Finally the study also suggested that future studies should focus on other
industries apart from
the pharmaceutical manufacturing sector.
