| dc.description.abstract | This study investigates the factors affecting employee motivation at the Ethiopian Electric Utility (EEU) Head Office. A descriptive research design was employed to describe the demographic characteristics of the employees, while an explanatory research design was used to explore the causal relationships between variables. A quantitative approach was used, and a sample size of 283 employees was selected from a population of 972 using the Taro Yamane formula. The study used both primary and secondary sources of data, including questionnaires and existing literature. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 25, and statistical methods such as descriptive and inferential statistics, correlation and regression analysis were used to analyze the data. The findings suggest that job satisfaction, coworker and supervisor relationships, work conditions and financial factors are significant factors that affect employee motivation while recognition is a non-significant factor. To improve employee motivation, the study recommends enhancing job satisfaction, improving a positive work environment, providing fair compensation and benefits, recognizing and rewarding employees, improving coworker and supervisor relationships, conducting regular feedback and evaluation, and providing opportunities for growth and development. The study suggests several potential areas for future research, including the impact of employee motivation on organizational performance, employee motivation and turnover intentions, motivation and job satisfaction in different cultural contexts, employee motivation and well-being, and motivation and leadership style. Key Words: job satisfaction, coworker and supervisor, work conditions, financial factors, recognition, employee motivation | |
