Abstract
The study scrutinized the effect of motivation on employee Performance of selected Head
office departments in Ethiopia shipping and logistic service enterprise. The study used
descriptive statistics (frequencies, and percentages) to answer four research questions posed
for the study the result obtained from the analysis showed that there existed relationship
between motivation and the employee performance. Motivation is one of the most critical
elements in the area of Human Resources Management. The study reveals that PDB bonus,
extrinsic and instinct motivation given to employees in an enterprise has a significant effect
on the employee performance. This is in line with equity theory which emphasizes that
fairness in the remuneration package tends to produce higher performance from employees.
Moreover, the study recommends that because motivation factors like attractive salary,
training and good working environment to any employees is highly essential, it is important
for Ethiopian shipping and logistic service enterprise to strength them all. Based upon the
document analysis the enterprise is profitable, hence it is recommended that Ethiopian
shipping and logistic service enterprise should adopt housing allowance in its various
departments to increase employee performance. When employees are involved in making
decisions that concern them, their performance is expected to significantly increase than when
employees are not involved in making decisions concerning them this is absence in Ethiopian
shipping and logistic service enterprise and I recommend the enterprise to reconsider it. Labor
unions should be more active in defending the right and privilege of employees in Ethiopia
shipping and logistic service enterprise since it is pressure group should take advantage of
pluralism and demand to be involved in employee motivational rewards. And it should play
its role being connectors between employees and their employer.
