Abstract :

Employee commitment and job satisfaction are traits of motivated workers. These traits translate into increased job productivity and, as a result, improved organisational performance. Employee motivation does not simply come from monetary incentives like salary, fringe benefits, bonuses, commission, etc. In light of this, a study was conducted in selected private secondary schools in the Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State, Nigeria, to examine the effects of identified motivational factors on employees' productivity. The purposive sampling was used in the study to select eight private secondary schools. The research design for this study was a descriptive survey design. Employees of all privately owned secondary schools in Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State make up the study's population. 25 of these employees served as the study's sample. The 125 questionnaires that were distributed were returned. For the analysis of the hypotheses. The descriptive statistics and Pearson Product Moment of Correlation (PPMC) were used. The findings showed that employee productivity in a limited group of private secondary schools was strongly positively correlated with both the work environment (r=0.965; p<0.05) and training (r=0.852; p<0.05). Thus, organisations should create an environment that is friendly for both teaching and non-teaching staff members in order to increase their job satisfaction.
