A pilot study was conducted using the instrument. Six (6) null hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0. 05 significance level. Statistical tools used were cross tabulation and percentages, frequency distribution and one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) all the hypotheses were rejected. The study revealed that academic staff in tertiary institutions in Yobe were motivated with the availability of instructional materials for teaching and learning. It was found out that academic staff were motivated with staff development and training and the encouragement given to them to go for in – service training. Also the result of the study showed that academic staff of tertiary institutions in Yobe state were leaving the institutions to more lucrative organizations perhaps due to inadequate salary packages.
