Abstract
This study was an examination of the effects of motivation on employee performance in Ghana’s public service, using the Jirapa Community Health Nursing Training College as a case. The study adopted a qualitative approach. A sample size of eighty-nine (89) employees were purposively selected and made to answer questionnaires that measure the main variables under consideration: motivation and performance. The findings of the study revealed that a greater number of the employees sampled, representing 47.2%, were not entirely happy on the job. It was also found that a significant number of the employees representing 64% agreed that positive motivation and job satisfaction has an optimistic influence towards members of staff operations. From my research findings, it was recommended that the public sector should organize in-service training for employees to equip them with modern skills in order to improve upon their performance and productivity. Again, deliberate steps should be taken to keep to ensure higher job satisfaction among employees.
