Abstract:

 There is consensus of opinion among scholars that productivity is indeed very low in the publicsector in Nigeria. This informed this study to examine what could motivate employees towardhigher productivity. The study was a descriptive survey of seven Local Government areas inKwara State, selected through stratified random sampling. Seven hundred questionnaires weredistributed while Six hundred and twelve were returned. The analysis was by simple percentage.The study revealed that significant majority of the respondents were not satisfied with theirwages, working environment, job security, and their duties, while strict supervision was largelyrejected as a way of enhancing performance. The study recommended the enhancement of thewages, improvement of the working conditions, and assignment of new duties where visible.Lastly, it recommended the adoption of objective criteria to monitor performance and theinclusion of merit principle in promotion.
