Abstract
The success or failure of any business as a matter of fact depends largely on its employees; thus human resources are very essential to the organisation as they are the key to prosperity, productivity and performance. How employees are perceived, treated and how they feel about themselves and ultimately their output directly or indirectly has an impact on their performance and development of the organisation. De motivated employees under no circumstance will churn out decreased performance. The aim of this study was to find out the effect of motivation on the performance of Guaranty Trust Bank workers. The study adopted the mixed approach of research design and the case study method to provide answers to research questions formulated. A non probability design with the purposive sampling technique was employed to select and sample the opinion of 150 workers of Guaranty Trust Bank on the issue. Data obtained from the field survey was later analysed using SPSS. The study revealed that indeed there is a relationship between motivation and performance and aside the known fact that money is the key amongst the motivational factors to employees, it was realised that employees are gradually becoming particular about trust, respect and high expectation, recognition and appreciation and good working environment. The study therefore concluded that great strides be made to motivate all staff to enhance performance. The researcher recommends that management attaches more importance to issues of employee motivation to make the institution survive amongst its competitors.
