Abstract
The purpose of the study was to examine factors influencing police employees’ motivation and its
impacts on police employees’ performance in the case of the federal police, Addis Ababa. The
research is a mixed (quantitative and qualitative) design research approach.
Data were
collected from 306 (206 males and 50 females) randomly selected police employees. The
research instruments were Intrinsic and extrinsic factors of motivation scale measures.
Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze data. The results showed that there is
no significant difference in the level of motivation between the two sexes. However, there was a
significant difference on the police employee level of motivation among age groups, rank,
educational level, and years of work experience. The study further showed the presence of a
significant relationship between intrinsic motivational factors (i.e. recognition, promotion,
achievements, satisfaction, and responsibility), and extrinsic motivational factors (i.e. Payment,
Leadership, Work environment, Interpersonal relationship, and Job security). Based on the
findings, recommendations were forwarded.
