Abstract

Employees are the heart of any organization. For any organization to operate smoothly and without any interruption, employee cooperation cannot be replaced with anything else. It is of utmost importance that the employees of organizations not only have a good relationship with the top management, but also, that they maintain a healthy and professional relationship with their co-workers.

It has been noted that employees of the University of Buea often complain about their low wages and salary condition, poor working condition, poor welfare, ineffective supervision, provision of inadequate machinery and materials at work place, provision of poor appliances and their poor maintenances etc. the above complaints are indications that things are not going smoothly with the employee’s. on the other hand, management always ask why the employees are no longer productive or low level of productivity in the organization. thus, this study was set out to identify how employees motivation is related to employees performance and job satisfaction, to examine whether or not training effectiveness is significantly liked to employees motivation in the University of Buea, and to evaluate how the work environment influence employees performance and job satisfaction in the University of Buea in the last one decade (2010-2020).

The Abraham Maslow and Frederick Herzberg Theory of Motivation served as the theoretical framework of the study. This study employed the use of a mixed method approach through the help of a purposive sampling technique to be able to gather data for this study. The sources of data used were both primary and secondary sources of data.

Questionnaire and interview guide were administered randomly to both 20 to 60years and above of non-academic and academic staff of the University of Buea. the data gathered were processed and presented in a simple descriptive manner, based on three hypotheses, this study found out that, employees motivation is significantly linked to employees performance and job satisfaction in the university of Buea, it also shows that training effectiveness has an influence on employees performance and job satisfaction in the University of Buea.

Findings of the research revealed that, when employees are poorly motivated, it reduces their work effectiveness, coordination and cooperation among them obviously have a negative impact on their job performance in the organisation.

This result further reveals that, when there are effective training programmes and resource available to them, their output and productivity will increase since all of them will be perfectly trained based on the organisational objectives but on the contrary poor or in appropriate training will have a negative impact on their performance as they are always bound to be making enormous errors during the work process.

It is therefore recommended that the University of Buea should revise and improve guidelines on how to increase the motivation of its workers that will guarantee increased output and performance in the organisation; again, it is also recommended that, the University of Buea should provide a good and comfortable work environment.
