    The impact of motivation on employee performance: the perspective of management of University of Ghana.
    (KNUST, 2018-11) Ankrah, Thelma
    Human resource remains a critical resource in organizational life in spite of the fact that artificial intelligence increasingly plays significant role in organizational life Stajkovic, & Luthans, F. (2003). Contemporary institutions face a dilemma of having to retain their skilled labour force while having to keep cost in manageable levels (Grant, 2008). Moreover, they should be able to manage their entire work force, while maintaining highly motivated employees in the context of cost cutting regime. The outcome of this challenge is that, there tends to be significant differences in the perspectives of the nature, form and efficacy of motivational packages of management and employees. This study thus sought to examine the perspectives of motivational packages deployed at the University of Ghana by the management. The study thus used descriptive research design to provide some explanations of the university management’s perspectives of motivational packages deployed in the university and their impact on the employees. The study’s findings indicate that the management is satisfied of the extent of motivation deployed. They are relatively satisfied with the impact on the employees, although they think that the responses could be better.
