1.4 SCOPE OF STUDY
Given
the broad perspective of the subject and the need to reduce it to a
manageable and meaningful proportion, the study is based on LAGOS STATE
UNIVERSITY, as an institution were workers need motivation to work
effectively and efficiently.
1.5 STATEMENT OF HYPOTHESIS
The following statements are to be tested as hypotheses in this work:
(i) Employee's need satisfaction leads to high morale.
(ii) A low job turnover and high absenteeism is an indication of low moral.
(iii) Workers achieve their set goals by being motivated.
1.6 LIMITATION OF STUDY
This
study is lined to Lagos State University and the Lagos State Public
Service represents the wider framework of the thematic study.
To
ensure the attainment of more realistic results, emphasis is directed on
the administrative staff executive cadre and the junior staff.
The
envisaged and real limitation of the study is the collection of relevant
data and facts for proper analytical discussion and in depth study of
the topic. It is a common characteristic of Nigerian organizations to
always hold back, in the provision of information, even for research
purposes of this nature. An attitude borne out of the fear that such
information or data might be released to the public.
Another
constraint is that of time required for the study, when of course is
compounded by lean resources for a compute and prompt report.
