REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

The traditional model of job satisfaction and dissatisfaction consist of the total body of feelings that an individual has about his job. This total body of feelings consist of weighing up the sum total of influence on the job, the nature of the job itself, the payment, the promotion prospects, the nature of supervision and so on for example the sum total of these influence give rises to the feelings of the individuals job satisfaction.

Thus, behaviour is basically goal oriented. It is motivated by a desire to attain some goal. This goal is the need which he wants to satisfy. In the case of needs, people are motivated not by what we think they ought to have but what they themselves want. Thus, the specific goal which motivates one to take a certain action is not always consciously known by the individual. Something we wonder “why did I do that? The reasons for our actions is not always apparent to the conscious mind to an outside observer, a persons need may be illusory or unscalistic, but they are still controlling. A path towards increased need fulfillment is a better approach.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN JOB SATISFACTION AND PERFORMANCE

Daniel Forman (1983) continues that there was strong relationship between job satisfaction and self esteem and important mental health. He found in the study that better and mental health was associated with higher and lower levels of satisfaction respectively.

Robert mert and Robert miceal (1976) in the study carried by Malvin L., John and Kami shower on the basis of interview with sample of our 3006 man respectively of all those employees in civilian occupation in united state of America.

The investigation reported that satisfaction is most likely when man is permitted adequate free to do their work as they think best.

Similarly Salah S.D (1964) asserted that when managerial employees reach the pre-refreshment age of between 60 and 65 years, the experience drops in the overall job satisfaction. This drop is explained by fact that while looking back over their camera.

Walker K and Manwth A (1951) Agrees that the comparison of factory satisfaction under mechanical controlled conditions which shows that substantial difference in favour of self controlled condition.

1. LABOUR TURNOVER: The labour turn over of an organistion (union Bank Plc) increased when workers did not achieve objectives.

An employee pointed on organization with hope that organization will help in achieving his personal objective.

2. PRODUCTIVITY: It is a commonly hold view that production is working with motivation.

Bullet and Herbart (1981) stated that a satisfied work is a work group put forth better work, which in turn improve productivity.

Employer Grievance: According to Edwin Fippo a grievance is any discontent whether valid or not arising out of any connected with the organizational and it rules that an employer think believes or even feels in unfair unjust or equitable.

SOME MOTIVATION THEORIES AND THEIR IMPLICATION IN NIGERIA.

Theories are formulated as solution to problems. Once theory is formed, it must have a universal application in any given environmental condition.

The theories of motivation cannot be exception but the velocity off some theory have been challenged and criticized by many workers. Some of them are not operational in the Nigeria contact.

VROOM EXPETANCY:

A discussion of satisfaction will be incomplete without mentioning the compactory theory put forward by Victor H. Vroom HV. (1964) tries to throw more light on understanding of human beings that motivate them into action at a particular period. He suggested that a person given motivation towards an action at a given time could determined by his anticipated value of all out come (both negative and positive) of action multiple by strength of that person expects that out come would yield desired goals.

In order words he argued that motivation was the product of anticipated worth of person out come of action and perceived probability the person goals will be achieved.

Vroom view performance as a unction of ability and motivation this can illustrated thus:

P =F (AM)

Where P = Performance

F = Function

A = Ability

M = Motivation.

Natural human beings embarks in any action anticipation of out come could be in the turn of reward of punishment. In either case human being actual values to such out come.

The degree of value of person place high values to overcome. It could be zero, if no value is already to the out come and it could be negative if the person absolutely dislike the come.

An out come could be extrinsic if the out come is existing to the individual. For example salary intrinsic

The outcome could come within the person for example Egoistic value among the outcome which Vroom highlights were salary promotion fringe benefit personal by directed from the work itself supportiveness behavior.

Although Vroom it sound may be reality and consistence with management of human resources in the research view. It application will be complex and difficult.

In conclusion Ejofor P.N.O (1981) high lighten the implication of Vroom are

The organization must hold out reward desired by the workers
The workers must be achieved and immediately as possible that is there should be not be delay in rewarding succession out come.
The worker perceived that the desire a reward can be obtained only through efforts.

ABRAHAM MASLOW THEORY OF HUMAN MOTIVATION

One of the most revered conceptual models which focus as satisfaction of human needs, is the one postulated by Abraham Mass low.

Gulliet CR and Hick H.G (1981) asserted the following proposition about human behavior.

Human is working beings. His life style is predominately directed towards satisfying the various wants. They always want and want more. As soon as one want is satisfied another emerge it place. Although a particular need can be satisfied need in general can be satisfied.
Human needs are arranged in the hierarchy of importance. As soon as the lower level are related fulfillment, those in the high level emerge and required satisfaction.
