Abstract

In this cooperate world, administrators are focusing on getting the best employees during
recruitment and are also finding ways of retaining them. However, maintain them will stem from
them observing the concept upon which motivation is built. They must know how their employees think and what makes them think that way. Meeting the demands of this work prompted the researcher to seek secondary data to be able to bring to light the concept of motivation. It also led the researcher into looking for appropriate materials on the type of motivation. The research gives us a faster glimpse on the types of motivation (Intrinsic rewards are those which are felt directly, and include accomplishment, increased self-esteem,and new skills; extrinsic rewards are provided by an outside agent and include bonuses, praise, and promotions). The theories were also looked into and their relevance brought out as to how they will help the institution. At the end of this research work, it is believed to help develop the institution by improving on employees’ performance for the achievement of the institution’s goal.
