Abstract:
The success of organisations largely depend on the nature of motivational policies
established in dealing with employees been the most valuable assets who work to achieve
set goals and objectives. This study sought to examine motivational strategies adopted
by organisations with specific reference to Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH).
The target population involves employees of KATH (3,519). Stratified sampling
technique was used in selecting a sample size of 271 out of which 215 responded.
Questionnaire served as the main data collection instrument for the study. Motivational
strategies adopted included adequate salary structure, incentives, promotions, bonuses,
recognitions, empowerment and sense of belonging within the organisation. Motivation
in organisations should not be taken for granted since it is the lifeblood of ensuring
development, growth and success. There was strong positive correlation between
motivation and efficiency, employee commitment, job satisfaction and productivity in
organisations with specific reference to KATH. The management of KATH should
ensure that there exist attractive motivational packages for employees. This will help
boost their morale and instil empathy in them to achieve set targets.
