CHAPTER ONE
1.1 Background to the Study
Specomill Textile Limited, a manufacturer of Textile Material was established by some of the Indonesian expatriates in the year 1966 at Ikeja. This organization is production oriented, that is, it has six departments out of which three are engaged mainly in production. The three production departments include weaving, dying and spinning. The three other departments as of Specomill Textile includes;
Administrative finance and marketing when the organization was established in 1966, it had just three departments namely weaving, dying and administrative department few years later, precisely in 1970, other departments were formed.
This organization is created for the purpose of attaining specific goals. This, out of the various resources available to any organization, the human resources which include materials and personnel are budgeted, directed, coordinated, and controlled towards the attainment of the goal of the organization.
As a result of increasing interest in the areas of welfare, problems of employee’s commitment on their job, special attention must be paid to the employees that is, the human resources of the organization. Motivation is the means of acknowledging and understanding the needs, wants, feelings, ideas and emotions of the employees and then providing ways and methods of boosting their egos which will encourage them to use their abilities and knowledge in their works. Various models have been postulated by renounced men, showing the behaviour of various kinds of human beings and hour they can be motivated maximum performance via the application of the right model-Dubin (1958).
Gone are the days when salaries and wages accounted for the only reason why people go to work. Past researchers have shown that the efficacy of money as a major tool for motivation is increasingly on the decline. Various forms of “incentives and fringe benefit” in addition to salary now constitute motivating factors for employees and workers alike.
Finally, the importance of motivation among other managerial functions cannot be overemphasized. This is because an organization’s human resources is the most valued resource of the organization.
