Abstract

The study scrutinizes the Impact of Employee Motivation on Organizational Performance of Nile Petroleum Company Limited, Ethiopia. The study also tries to see the relationship and causal relationship between Employees’ Motivation and Organizational performance. The population used for the study was 25 employees of the Company from the target population. Questionnaire was distributed to 20 employees and unstructured interview questions were made for the rest of 5 top management staffs. The study used descriptive statistics to answer three research questions posed for the study. SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) was used to test the hypotheses and analyze the questionnaires collected from respondents. The study reveals that intrinsic and extrinsic motivation given to workers in an organization has a significant influence on the workers performance. On the bases of these findings, employers are continually challenged to develop motivation schemes, pay policies and equitably distribute those benefits that will enable them to attract, motivate, retain and satisfy their employees. This is in line with equity theory which emphasizes that fairness in the remuneration package tends to produce higher performance from workers which in turn brings about improved productivity for the organization. The researcher recommends that all firms should adopt attractive motivation packages in the organization to improve performance. The result obtained from the analysis showed that there existed relationship between employee motivation and the organizational performance. The researcher, therefore, suggests that more research should be conducted and implemented based on merit on the relationship and influence of employee motivation and company’s performance which will be a useful instrument that could be used to provide solutions of the poor performance of the company that resulted from provision of unfair motivation schemes.
