The effect of motivation on employee's performance: a case study of Kakira Sugar Works in Jinja District of Uganda

Abstract

The study investigated employee motivation activities in Kakira Sugar Works in the administration area of Jinja district. Kakira Sugar Works was purposely selected because it is among the biggest organization, is largely convenient to the researcher transport wise and it is one of the biggest private organizations employing a big number of employees Since salary seems to be the most used tool in the motivation of employees, the rest of motivating factors like employee involvement in decision making and the environment in which they work in are not considered most. This shows a poor relationship between the employee and the employer and thus showing a poor performance Therefore the researcher's conclusions are in agreement with other scholars on the subject of employee's motivation who have it that management should try to focus on those individual needs which when satisfied leads to improved performance
