Abstract

This study was carried out to identify the effect of staff motivation on the performance level in the banking industry, using Access Bank Plc as a case study. A mixed-methods approach was employed, utilizing questionnaires and oral interviews administered to a sample of 40 staff members selected from a population of 150. Data were analyzed using simple percentages and presented in tables. The results strongly agree with established theories from Shapiro, Hertzberg, Vroom, and Maslow, indicating that workers' attitudes depend on their satisfaction levels regarding organizational policies and remuneration. Key findings reveal that poor wages, lack of a definite promotion policy, poor working conditions, and inadequate training programs significantly reduce staff performance. The study concludes that effective staff motivation is crucial for achieving management objectives and recommends implementing favourable working conditions, timely promotions, adequate welfare packages, and effective training programmes to enhance productivity and output.
