Abstract
Employees' performance has been established to be directly related to employees' motivation. This assertion was corroborated by different management theories since the works of Frederick Taylor on 'The Principle of Scientific Management' in 1911 and Henry Gantt on 'Works, Wages and Profits' in 1913. Modern employees' motivation management methods have evolved over time which discredited Taylor's "differential rate piece-work" and Gantt's "task and bonus wage" systems.
The modern employees' motivation management methods are employees' oriented and are more effective. There are schools of thought that believe that no employee can be 'adequately' motivated while there are others that believe they can. This research work was to ascertain from the employees the motivating factors that can 'adequately' motivate them to work tirelessly and to achieve results. It found out that employees can be 'adequately' motivated and are best positioned to determine what can collectively motivate them 'adequately'.
Introduction
Motivation is the catalyst that spurns employees' eagerness to work without pressure. To motivate is to provide employees with a motive to do some tasks. It is to cause or provoke somebody to act either positively or negatively. To say that nobody can motivate employees at work is like saying there are no influential leaders, that there are no effective managers, that there are no motivational speakers, that the psychologists in sports management teams are useless and that motivation is not achievable. Motivation has been used by effective managers to prompt ordinary people to achieve uncommon results in all fields of endeavours.
