Abstract

The study examined the Effect of Motivation strategies on Job satisfaction and performance: A Study of Nigeria Police Force. Data were elicited using questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data. The responses were analysed using both simple and multiple linear regressions. Findings revealed that the promotion strategy has a significant impact on motivation and performance, while the other two variables (police training and retraining strategy, and donation of operational vehicles) do not show a statistically significant relationship at the conventional alpha level of 0.05. Overall, the findings indicate that the promotion strategy has a stronger influence on job satisfaction and performance in the Nigeria Police Force compared to the other strategies (training and re-training and donation of operational vehicle) examined. Focus on enhancing and improving the promotion strategy within the Nigeria Police Force, as it has shown to have a significant impact on motivation and performance. The study recommends that the management of NPF should consider ways to make the promotion process transparent, fair, and rewarding for deserving officers. While police training and retraining strategies and the donation of operational vehicles did not show a statistically significant relationship with job satisfaction and performance, it is still important to continue investing in these areas to ensure that officers have the necessary skills and resources to perform their duties effectively. Implement a holistic approach to improving motivation and performance by considering a combination of strategies that address various aspects of officer well-being and job satisfaction, such as provision of effective operational vehicle, worklife balance, leadership support, and career development opportunities.
