1. INTRODUCTION

1.1     BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY

The Nigerian Breweries industries have board directors at the Apex of its administration hierarchy. The board of directors determines the corporate management policies while the detailed operational and tactical decisions are left to the discretion of the operations managers and departmental managers. The Nigeria brewery industry the 9th mile branch has a staff strength of about one thousand five hundred  1,500.

The organization structure of the company is  complex for instance, the post of operation manager and finance control manager are horizontal and placed directly under the board of directors. However there could be role conflict among the occupant and the principle of accountability would not be effectively adhere to in such a situation of the Nigeria brewery industry 9th mile corner Enugu.

The Nigeria brewery industry has seven department viz. personnel, accounting and costly sales, stores, administration, production and mechanical, each with a manager who is directly responsible to the operation manager.

The life wire of the company is the operation department where the Nigeria brewery product is processed.

There are training opportunity in the company the current training programme include on the job training and short course abroad. Workers are also sent for  training under the industrial training (ITF)  programmes in Nigeria brewery industry and other states in the country.

According to the management, such training  is necessary in order to achieve the industrial objectives in terms of man-power and  increase in productivity. The  industry maintain a clinic where emergency case like industry accidents are taken care of. There is also a staff canteen for the welfare of the work.

The effect of these moves with some motivation tools which the manager of the organization has to use and the result is  that motivation has faced a lot of through and research, as to how it operatives in organization.

WHAT IS MOTIVATION

It is a Latin “Movers”  it is a way of bringing out the best quality in a person to arrive at a better achievement or result. It could also mean a process crating a conducive environment that will stimulate employees to perform at a superior level.

Jones (1955) said that it is energized sustained, directs, stopped on what kinds of subjective reactions that is present in the organization and it influences characters.

Motivation could be put in a context relevant to managers. A manager major  concern is definitely related to his subordinates performance. He should be interested in such questions as what factors make people happy on the job? A moment reflection will show how true. It is in case we belong to various organizations like clubs,  churches, professional society or company.

 We should  be able to assesses how intensive we are willing to serve them without some inducements. If all these considered potentials contributors to an organization are arranged in order of willingness to serve, the scale will gradually descend from possible intensive willingness through neutral zero willingness. To this end result, it means that all those responsible  for the management  of and organization must build into the entire system factors that will induce people to put their best effectively and efficiently.

Organization today have larger and more complex than in the past. The master and the servant relationship has disappeared and with it gone to the day of rigid control and direction.

To get people work effectively in these changed circumstances of different approach is required.

This study is aimed at establishing the fact that human behaviours control the destiny of any organization. The success of an organization depends on the effective management of human resources available people at mostly perception especially when it comes to motivation.

We can therefore say that motivation is am important is an important determinant of human behaviour. It is that which moves one towards a goal. An organization on the other hand is  a structural process in which. Individual interest for their goals and objectives. It could also mean a group of people who are bound together for unity of action and for the achievement of a predetermined objective or accomplish a given task.

These organization are vital instrument in any society.
