Abstract
This study carried out an investigation on motivation and employees’ performance in
Nongovernmental organizations in Erigavo Somalia with specific interest on two
Nongovernmental organizations namely Somaliland youth development and voluntary
organization, Danish refugee council. The objectives of the study were to determine the level of
motivation, to determine the level of employee performance, and to establish the relationship
between the level of motivation and employees’ performance in the two Nongovernmental
Organizations. The study employed a descriptive correlational study design which involved both
qualitative and quantitative approaches. With regards to this method, the researcher used a
structured questionnaire which was based on simple and understandable questions. Responses
from the 104 respondents suggested that the levels of motivation were relatively lower than the
standard expected. The researcher found out that though some strides have been made in
improvement of the motivation aspects; still there are a couple of challenges which hamper the
performance of the employees. As a result the employees’ performance has remained to be
significantly low. It was also established that there was indeed a causal relationship between
motivation and employee performance which stood at 0.833 on the Pearson Correlation scale
which was interpreted as positive and strong relationship. The researcher suggested that it has
become imperative that there must be significant improvement on the aspects by means of
revising the employees pay structure, improving recognition of employees, allowing employees’
unions in organizations etc. This according to the researcher would help improve the
performance of the employees.
