1.1     INTRODUCTION

Motivation is a management tools, management is very exciting and dynamics discipline which has a special appeal to people who aimed at getting things done in an effective and efficient way, the art of defining management is however not easy.

Management can be view from different aspect of main’s activities in his effort to achieve the stated objective of an   organization   effectively and efficiently white  some people has the terms that help  management to operate, control, and ‘co-ordinate effectively and efficiently.

In every organization today, there is a huge tendency that the organization will be facing- problem within and outside the organization.

Also, if in any motivation system there is no improve in any forms, then problem will occur if there is no dynamic improvement in procedure, guideline of work and the management is statistic then, worker will not be motivated.

Any organization that does not give records or account for work that have been alone in every work place, this will also encourage the worker and there will be problem in the system and. it will not move worker to add effort because the effort is not accounted for, which say without accounting for work done then performance appraisal will not be encouraged.
