Assessment of Staff Motivation on Employee Performance: the Case of Public Service Management and Good Governance Office in Tanzania

Abstract

The paper assesses effect of staff motivation on employee performance using recognition as the motivation factor. Tanzania's Public Service Management and Good Governance Office were polled for the study. The presumption that guided the study's topic was that employee performance is positively and significantly impacted by staff recognition, which is a factor in staff motivation. Cross-sectional design and both descriptive and inferential statistics were used in the study. A straightforward random chance sampling strategy was employed to include 144 research participants in the sample. Most primary data were gathered through the use of standardized questionnaires. The study discovers a statistically significant and robustly beneficial relationship between worker recognition and worker performance. Nonetheless, there is a little to moderate impact on the types of rewards and incentives, fringe benefits, and job quality of employees in Tanzania's Public Service Management and Good Governance Office divisions. According to the study's findings, workers at Tanzania's Public Service Management and Good Governance Office perform better when they receive compliments from their department leaders.
