CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Computer based continuous assessment system is used to track the performance of workers. The information concerning their working ability and effect are recorded for management use. In the contemporary times some organizations in Enugu urban been enjoying a situation of high productivity, efficiency in their work performance while some have not been able to find their feet. The situation becomes more glaring when taken a look at the private organization. However, situation study have shown that the purpose of every organization which he tends to realize. The ability to understand why workers behave the way they do and the ability to motivate them to behave them to behave in a specific manner are too interrelated which can affect the performance of workers, for any organization that are involved in the actual production of goods and services to function at full capacity the subordinate i.e the workers must be satisfied. This calls for the concepts of motivation. Motivation is not manipulation it is about understanding the need which prompts employees in organization to do things and provide ways of helping. According to Donnelly (1992-308). Motivation is defined as all those inner striving conditions described as wishers, desires, drives etc. It is an inner state that activities or more. He further explained that from a managers perspectives, a person who is well motivated usually work hard and have selfdirected behaviour towards important goals. And Pearce (1991-393) state that “when a persons performance is determined to be unsatisfactory, low motivation is always considered to be problem”. Therefore this research work is designed to assess the effect of motivation on the performance of the workers in Nike Lake Resort (Proten Hotel) Enugu. This effect high productivity in any organization. Computer programmers have gone ahead to write a program to assist in the documentation of continuous assessment information in a personnel office.
1.1 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
The phenomenon of low productivity and inefficiency crates a lot of problem in business organizations. No business organization can achieve its set objective in terms of profit, survival, continuity and the ability to complete favourably with the organization when its workers are not performing as expected. Researches have shown that the major reason why workers in business organizations perform below expectation is as a result of not being adequately motivated. As a result of the above, the researcher is looking into various means through which business organization can motivate their workers towards performing well and the effect of motivational strategies can enhance the performance of the workers in Nike Lake resort (Proten Hotel) Enugu. The need arise for the development of computer based continuous assessment system.
1.2 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
The aims and objectives of this project are listed below:
To develop software called computer based continuous assessment system that will replace the manual method of storage.
To stop or eliminate the difficulties people face with manual method of storage.
To eliminated unwillingness and nonchalant attitude of some staff that deal with information in an organization.
To easy the work associated with manual method.
To eliminate the error involved with the manual storage of data/information.
To save the time wasted when searching or sorting for a given data/information.
To evaluate the performance of workers All these contributed to show that personnel office is now been influence by information technology.
