EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of motivation on employees’
performance using the case of UNICEF Somalia Support Centre, Nairobi. The study was
guided by the following research questions: How do monetary factors impact the performance
of employees at UNICEF Somalia Support Centre? How does job design impact the
performance of staff at UNICEF Somalia Support Centre? And, how does staff training and
development impact the performance of employees at UNICEF Somalia Support Centre?
The study used descriptive research design. The population of this study comprised of all the
employees of UNICEF Somalia Support Centre in Nairobi. The study populace and sampling
frame comprised of a list of all representatives that worked at UNICEF Somalia Support Center
in Nairobi and was gotten from the Human Resources department.
The study showed that employees at UNICEF Somalia were not happy with their job design in
terms of the tasks they performed and the organization did not involve them in the job design
leading to their demotivation. The study showed that, UNICEF Somalia employees acquire
training aimed at improving their knowledge, skills and attitudes towards their work, as well as
increase their morale and confidence in the job. It was revealed that, the employees in the
organization have a sense of security built from their training and this facilitated their ability to
manage changes and new situations that occurred within the organization.
The study concludes that employees at UNICEF Somalia were not happy with their job design
in terms the tasks they performed and the organization did not involve them in the job design
leading to their demotivation. The study concludes that UNICEF Somalia employees acquire
training aimed at improving their knowledge, skills and attitudes towards their work, as well as
increase their morale and confidence in the job and that the employees in the organization had a
sense of security built from their training that facilitated their ability to manage changes and
new situations within the organization.
The study recommends that management retain the non-monetary rewards as a cost-effective
way of keeping the workforce highly motivated, but also include monetary rewards that should
be linked directly to the compensation plan and for to provide and create a practical job rotation
program and develop a comprehensive program for its electiveness. The study recommends
managers to also provide optimal motivational systems that need to be determined for
implementing job rotation policy.
