| dc.description.abstract | Team Performance and Productivity are influenced by how well the team is motivated. This study explores the motivational measure available for the Project Manager to manage their team members. The study adopted quantitative research approach. Purposive sampling technique was used based on the objectives to define the population of sixty (60) Project Managers working at Goldfields Ghana Limited Tarkwa site, out of which fifty-two (52) sampling size was selected. The Krejcie and Morgan sample size table was used to select a sampling size of fifty-two (52) from a population of sixty(60) with the confidence level score of 95% and the margin of error of 5%.A closed ended questionnaire was issued to the respondent and only thirty (30) Project Managers responded. The resulting data analyzed with the aid in SPSS and presented the result with descriptive, frequencies, percentages and mean score ranking.The motivational measures include Financial (Bonus and allowance, incentive Pay or salary, etc.) and non-financial (Job Security, Opportunity for advancement etc.) which play a major role in the influencing of team performance and productivity. In addition, motivation should be a concern of project managers because it has an effect on the performance and productivity of their team members and also helps in the minimization of conflict and team performance. In conclusion, team members‟ needs are unlimited; and have made it difficult for the Managers to identify their needs to be able to satisfy them. It has also made it difficult for the Project Manager to Manage conflict and team agitations. It was therefore recommended that motivation plays a major role in any organization that wants to maximize productivity and performance of their employees. Managers must review their leadership style, creating assurance of job security and reasonable periodic salary increase scheme to be able to influence the performance and productivity of their team members | en_US |
