Abstract

Employees’ motivation and performance confirms a fundamental important measure in organizations. The desired goals and objectives of organizations cannot be achieved without the motivation of their employees. The study empirically determined the motivation factors influencing job performance. The results showed that fringe benefits, job supervision, and incentives significantly predicted higher job performance.
