CHAPTER ONE

1.0    INTRODUCTION   

Motivation is the inner state that causes an individual to behave in a way that ensures the accomplishment of some goal. Or it can be defined as the state that directs the individuals towards the goal of satisfying felted need. The individual is moved to take action to reduce a state of tension and return to a condition of equilibrium.

Motivation of staff and its impact on the organization productivity is the subject matter of this projects with a cases study of Kaduna refinery and petrochemical company (KRPC).

Since productivity is a result of employees behaviour, influencing this behaviour is a manager’s key to increasing productivity.

In the new generation organization like (KRPC) high level of productivity and efficiency is their watchword in a competitive environment. It is a well known fact, that no organization can succeed without hardworking and committed employees. That’s why employer’s tend to put more effort in motivating employees through motivation factors in order to get work done in the right manner, in order to achieve higher productivity and when this is done, the organization will definitely attain its desired  objectives and goals.

But some managers knowing the significance and important of motivation, do deliberately refuse to motivate their subordinate.               

Top management must take into account of individual behaviour when planning organizational structure and procedure, and applying management styles and theories to meet career development of employees, staff development programmes becomes imperative as motivational factors.

This is very sensitive issue, because the degree of productivity of any organization depends to a large extent on how the morale of the employees are boosted through motivational factors which will in turn lead to employees higher productivity.

Motivation is one of the simplest, yet most complex  management jobs, it seems simple because people tend to be basically motivated to behave  in away that they  feel leads to reward, therefore one of the determinant of behaviours is motivation.

1.1    BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

        REFINERY AND PETROCHEMICAL COMPANY KADUNA

The decision to establish Kaduna Refinery and Petrochemical company (KRPC) was taken in 1974 along with that of Warri refinery. However, it was decided that work would commence on the construction of refinery whenever the projection of consumption of petrochemical product justified it.

By early 1975, in view of the fuel shortage experienced,, the federal government decided that work on the third refinery should be advanced. It was envisaged that the refinery was to be a simple hydro skimming type refinery in order to meet up with the fuel demand.

Based on the feasibility studies carried out which took into consideration the consumption of various petroleum products within the northern zone, and adequate means of disposal for surplus product. A cru0de oil capacity of (42,000) forty two thousand barrel per stream day (BPSD) could be early justified.

It was much later that the  federal government decided  that the capacity for any refinery in Nigeria should not be  below 100,000 (BPSD) .

However, this would have led to the production of large quantity of heavy ends and on one practical and viable solution is  reprocessing the heavy  fuel oils. In order to do this  the whole project plan had to be modified so that  what initially was planned to be a simple hydro  skimming type refinery developed into integrated refinery. The refinery would now be able to produce a wider variety of petroleum Oleum products, some of which should be lubricating base oil. Hence it becomes necessary to import suitable paraffin base crude  oil from Venezuela, Kuwait or Saudi Arabia.

Product from the refinery are to include fuels  using such as liquidified petroleum  Gas (LPG) petroleum motor spirit (PMS) automotive  Gas oil (AGO) dual purpose keri (DPK) and supluric and those from the lubricating oil complex  are basic  oils Asphalt and waxes.

The lubricating oils complex, Kaduna Refinery is the   first to its kind in West Africa and one of the largest in Africa. The consulting from king Wilkinson of Hague Holland, in conjunction with NNPC engineers developed the plan for the refinery. The contract for contribution was awarded to CHUODA CHEMICAL ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION company of TOKOHAMA JAPAN IN 1977. The project completed and commissioned in 1980. However the lubes plant and petrochemical plant were commission in 1983 respectively operation and maintenance carried out by Nigeria staff and expatriate personnel as technical back up in 1985. Nigeria staff had virtually taken overall the maintenance and operations.

1.2    STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

The project is based on the understanding hat there are many problems as regards to motivation in  (KRPC) Kaduna Refinery and Petrochemical company  some  of this problem hinders which  resulted to poor or low productivity, inefficiency, laxity and ineffectiveness.

Motivation is therefore a universal problems that affect employee  higher productivity of all cadre in an organization for instance, in a modern organization, employees usually take appointment with the believe that salaries and other fringe benefits would  commensurate  with the job each is expected to do. And if these benefit do not  commensurate with the job, the morale of the employees (most especially the lower level employees which constitute  the largest numbers of workforce in the organization) will be low which will lead to low productivity and performance.

Motivation is also seen with the problem or being very expensive to motivate employees  in an organization, because the management of the organization have to increase employees pay package providing health facilities, accommodation and other incentives. Therefore, it has been a problem for the organization to motivate their employees for higher productivity.

1.3    OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

i.      The major objectives of this study is to critically examine the nature  and types of motivations given to the staff of Kaduna refinery and petrochemical company (KRPC)

ii.      To identify the problem of motivation in the organization.

iii.          To identify the means of evaluating the effectiveness of the various motivational programmes and to give useful recommendation to the above  problems.

iv.           The researcher hopes that this study would be beneficial to the management and staff of Kaduna refinery and petrochemical company (KRPC).

v.           The research work will also enable people to have an idea on the effects they can have on the performance and resultant effect on the productivity of the organization.

vi.          To highlight how personnel can be motivated for better productivity      

1.2    STATEMENT OF HYPOTHESIS

A hypothesis is a tentative statement linking two or more variable in a correlation to establish a relationship that, further subjection to test will confirm such relationship as either  positive or negative. The following are the two hypothesis that are to be tested.

Ho: Motivation of staff does not have any significance impact on the organizational productivity.  

Hi: Motivation of staff has significance impact on the organizational productivity.           

1.5      SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

The significance of the study of motivation is that it will help to determine how motivational factors stimulate employees to higher productivity and its relevance to both the employees and the organization. So that people will be attracted to join and stay within the organization

The study will also help the modern organization in identifying  and solving some employees  related problems responsible for the low morale and poor attitude towards work, since motivating have important bearing to employees attitude to work and  their morale.

The significance of this study also is that, it will attempt to answer organization question of “what induce employees to action” “how is the employees performance energized and how is it directed” and it will offer the  organization some motivational factors which help in stimulating employees to higher productivity and efficiency.

It will further help to assess the role of “motivation” as a tool or a means of enhancing organizational productivity.
