ABSTRACT

The problem of motivation and job satisfaction in Nigerian organizations especially in Dangote cement plc, gboko plant is that of poor productivity, and performance. it centered on poor environmental conditions, non monetary incentives, poor working schedules, and high level of stress. It is therefore in view of this that the researcher seeks to examine this problem understudy. The objective of this study therefore, is to expose those factors that are responsible for poor level of motivation and job satisfaction in organizations. The methodology applied for testing the formulated hypothesis is the simple correlation analysis. In order to achieve this, three hypothesis where formulated from relevant primary and secondary data gathered through questionnaires. A total of 111 questionnaires where administered but due some errors only 98 questionnaires where rightly completed and returned to the researcher, therefore presentation and data analysis is based on the 98 questionnaires returned to the researcher. Major findings show that motivation and job satisfaction brings about employee performance, increased productivity, and job satisfaction of employees. This can be achieved through proper remuneration, in service training, good working relationship between employee and management and recognition of staff in the management process. On the other hand the absence of motivation will result in a poor employee performance, decrease in productivity, poor commitment and job dissatisfaction. It is therefore recommended that Management must ensure that its employees are motivated and satisfied with their jobs at a healthy cost. Management should make provision for adequate remuneration, in service training, job security, participatory management, and a conducive and peaceful working environment so that organizational goals can be readily achieved in Dangote cement plc, gboko plant.
