INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The complexity in operations and functions requires that whether of public or private sector, we have to put in place appropriate organization techniques and managerial skill to facilitate job satisfaction.
Mangers are therefore task with the responsibility of combing available resources in the right proportion to work with the employee and through them to achieve the desired result of the organization.
In the past, human performance in are job situation was not solely a function of the aptitudes or skills that the employee brought to the work place, rather a reaction based on the spurring energizing or including factor of the organization adopted in the actualization of their act goals. The condition responsible for variation in the intensity, quality and directions of ongoing behavior of employees the organization is called by the individual attempts to satisfy his her needs. (Akanwa P.U 2004) in this effect, management must be well informed of the behaviors of individual working in an organization before embarking on any process of motivation.

This therefore show that motivation is an ongoing process within an organization is success must be achieved since the effective mobilization and utilization of the effort of worker who make up the labour forces lies within the individual and their environment which provide them with feedback and reinforce the put density and direction.
