CHAPTER ONE

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY

The use of employee performance appraisal and motivation strategies policy by most organization in Nigeria has increased overtime. With the advancement in the level of technology and evolution of new ideas in marketing, it is very important to note that performance appraisal and motivation strategies in contemporary business organizations cannot be overemphasized. Some view it as potentially "the most crucial aspect of organizational life” (Lawrie, 1990). Performance appraisal and motivation strategies have increasingly become an integral part of the human resource function of any profit - making organization. Performance appraisal and motivation strategies when practiced effectively, to a larger extent can contribute to growth of an organization.

According to Macmillan English Dictionary for Advanced Learners (2002), "growth is an increase in the success of a business or a country's economy or in the amount of money invested in them". Any profit-making organization will seek to achieve growth in terms of sales, profit or expansion through performance. Growth has been ingrained in Americans as "the path of success". Organizational growth cannot be a reality if the performance of its workers is not appraised for an improvement or reinforcement of performance. According to Donegan (2002), "success will to a larger extent depend on the organization's ability to evaluate progress and also hold accountable those charged with executing certain tasks". This is exactly what performance appraisal and motivation strategies seek to do. It aims at evaluating the performance of the worker against standard set thereby taking corrective actions if necessary. In many organizations performance appraisal and motivation strategies is used for the purpose of administering wages and salaries after feedback had been given to the worker. The appraisal also helps management to identify individual employee's strength and weakness. The latter will lead to training and other measures to correct inefficiencies.

        Performance appraisal and motivation strategies may be viewed as an overall measure of organizational effectiveness. Organizational objectives are met through the efforts of individual employees. Teaching employees how to do their jobs and evaluating their performances are strategic human resource function and for that matter should not be relegated to the background. "Maximizing performance is a priority for most organization today", Mathis et a1 (2004). It is then obvious that performance appraisal and motivation strategies as a management tool is cardinal to contributing to organizational success. If employee performance is improved, the organization raises it performance in terms of meeting it objectives. On the other hand, if employee performance is not improved it adversely affects performance hence organizational productivity. The study therefore in this regard wishes to examine employee performance appraisal and motivation strategies and organizational productivity using some selected commercial banks as the case study.

1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Low productivity is usually the negative effect of lack of performance appraisal, absence of performance appraisal and motivation strategies brings about staff low job performance.

 Labour union always get into the matters of employees well being at work and also in their personal lives so that they can give their full at work. But some time it has a negative impact on performance appraisal and motivation strategies and the management to give promotion or rise in the salary on the bases of seniority.

The basic aim of every business organization is to achieve its objectives, goals or targets successfully. Goals set by organization will only be in vain if much attention is not paid to employees’ effort or performance for successful accomplishment. In other to achieve set goals and objectives successfully, there is the need to focus on performance appraisal. Performance appraisal and motivation strategies should be linked to attractive incentive to employees, enabling workers to demonstrate higher productivity.

Most organizations in the competitive market fail since their workers perform below standard for they are not encouraged to work harder. Managers and employees are the life blood of every business organization. If management does not invest much into the welfare of their workers, problems are bound to raise leading to industrial strike actions, low commitment to work, low morale and low productivity of goods and services.

Attractive appraisal systems are established by some business organizations to help motivate their employees to strike hard to be recognized and rewarded. Once employees are motivated, their performance reflects on productivity. Employees strive hard by pooling together skills, knowledge and efforts to achieve maximum output. Hence the essence of this paper is to find out the part played by performance appraisal and motivation strategies in the banking sector.
