Abstract

Motivation is a critical factor that impacts the performance of both employees and organisations. Consequently, it is imperative that supervisors and management ascertain the motivating factors that significantly influence employee performance. The motivation levels of administrative employees were assessed in this study to determine the factors that influence them. The current study is focused on evaluating the motivational level of administrative employees and determining the sequence in which these motivational factors are ranked by administrative employees in the same department. A quantitative research methodology was implemented. An adapted questionnaire was implemented to implement a survey research design. The sample was comprised of 150 administrative employees from a total of 463 employees. The non-probability convenience sampling method was employed to select the respondents for this study. The motivational level of administrative personnel was analysed using descriptive statistics. The study's primary findings indicated that employees were most motivated by job security, job responsibility, goal setting, working conditions, leadership, feedback, salary, and job characteristics. The following was also determined: the most significant motivational factors for employees were ranked in the following order: leadership (1), salary (2), training and development (3), job security (4), feedback (5), rewards (6), working conditions (7), the opportunity for advancement (8), recognition and appreciation (9), job characteristics (10), job responsibility (11), performance appraisal (12), and goal setting 13.
