CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1              Background to the Study

Non-teaching staff like any other person have needs. Staff who are motivated may

beobserved to undertake a task for its own sake, for the satisfaction it provides or for the feelings of accomplishment and self-actualization. Because every worker has his reason for work, when a worker has not been motivated to his own reward preference, his works and people around him suffer.

Every person has different reason for performing effectively in a job. The reason for performing very well in a job is as individual as the person. But workers performeffectively in a job because they obtained something that they need from it. Duku (1994) as cited by Dibua (2009) opines that some Nigerian workers perceive work as an unpleasant endeavour. They work not because they really love what they are doing, but because of the monetary reward that accompany the work. Vroom (1964) in International Journal (2009) states in expectancy theory of motivation that, the tendency for individual to perform or act, is a function of the strength with which he expects certain outcome to be obtained from the act and the attraction to him of the expected outcome.

The relationship between motivation and job performance are set of reasons that determine one to engage in a particular behavior. According to various theories motivation is rooted in the basic need to minimize physical pain and maximize pleasure,or it includes specific need such as eating and resting as destined objectives.

Non-Teaching Staff formed an integral part of the educational system and their services were indispensable in the quest to enhance quality education….
