Abstract
Motivation is and would continue to remain as one of the cornerstone
Of management, the significance of motivation can best be appreciated by
the volume of work done in this area by contemporary management
scholars. With all the theories propounded by management scholars, many
managers are still having problem in managing their subordinates
effectively. Some managers find it difficult to recognise the difference
between how to handle tools and workmen. Some managers rule instead of
manage, they dictate instead of discuss, they hit instead of listen, they fire
instead of manage the weakness of the subordinates.
It is the objective of this research work to examine some of the
theories of motivation and apply them to the Federal College of Education
(Technical) Bichi. This work is timely because it was undertaken during the
dispensation of a Military Government which announced a wage increase
and within four months the same government announced a wage cut by
nearly 50%. This was followed by a general outcry from public servants
who were hard hit by the decision. On the other hand state civil servants
embarked on an indefinite strike action in response of the wage issue.
At the end of the drama so much damage had been done to the morale of the
workforce.
It is the objective of this project to carry out an empirical study on
motivation as a tool for improved productivity. A case study of Federal
College of Education (Technical) Bichi in the midst of time tested theories
and application; their failure and successes.
