EMPLOYEE MOTIVATION AND PERFORMANCE
EMPLOYEE MOTIVATION AND PERFORMANCE: employee motivation and performance seeks to look at how best employees can be motivated in order to achieve high performance within a company or organization. Managers and entrepreneurs must ensure that companies or organizations have a competent personnel that is capable to handle this task. This takes us to the problem question of this research “why is not a sufficient motivation for high performance?” This therefore estab-lishes the fact that money is for high performance but there is need to look at other aspects of motivation which is not necessarily money.
