Staff motivation has become necessary in today’s organization.Highly productive organization in today’s economy, made use of motivation in order to increase the productivity of the organization.Motivation as a management tools can be seen from the area of the motivation impact on staff of KwaraHotel Management.
In case of this study, the researcher was able to find out that the encouragement and persuasive power of the management staff to a large extent, how it have assisted them in achieving their set objectives through efficiency and effectiveness.
Furthermore, it was also established from the finding that motivation activities played a major role in ensuring” effectiveness and increase productivity. From the analysis, it also obtained that the 90% of the respondents agreed that new salary structure does not brings about effectiveness. This is because it is not only financial reward that could influence the productivity but other factor such as non-financial reward (promotion, welfare services).
Therefore,, in Kwara Hotel Management, it is increasingly difficult to depends on the general effect of motivation in determining the productivity of an organization. It is observed that staff motivation increase the morale and development of the workers. Staff motivation also induce workers to be more committed to the job giving them.

Motivation is a management tools and if we apply it, it will go a long way in improving efficiency, … effectiveness and put of workers. Based on the reviews of literature on motivation of staff in an organization, people like to work harder whenthey wanted to do, but threat and punishment are not best alternative genuine enthusiasm a sound motivation system will include a range of motivation designed to meet employee’s need. It is very important for the management to identify the management problem and should therefore introduce incentive programme that will motivate workers to put in their best to the hotel services.
Therefore there should be mutual understanding between the various worker associated and the management. Management should be given room for a round table discussion with the leader of labour union, by so doing, the issue bothering staff welfare should be brought to round table for negotiation with .the management so it can be discussed and arrived at a meaningful negotiation.
5.2 RECOMMENDATIONS
The management of the organization should find a way out or solution to the statement of the problem. Management of the Hotel should try and enrich the job, through job enrichment means, this will help to motivate staff properly and staff will spore towards their work.
Secondly, management should give record and award to work being accounted for by staff and give good account for the work done.
