Journal Article
Employee motivation and work performance: a comparative study of mining companies in Ghana
2016
Overview
Purpose: The paper empirically compares employee motivation and its impact on performance
in Ghanaian Mining Companies, where in measuring performance, the job satisfaction model is
used.
Design/methodology/approach: The study employed exploratory research design in
gathering data from four large-scale Gold mining companies in Ghana with regards to their
policies and structures in the effectiveness of motivational tools and strategies used by these
companies.
Findings: The study observed that, due to the risk factors associated with the mining industry,
management has to ensure that employees are well motivated to curb the rate at which
employees embark on industrial unrest which affect performance, and employees are to comply
with health and safety rules because the industry contribute hugely to the Gross Domestic
Product (GDP) of the country.
Research limitations/implications: Limitation to the present study include the researcher’s
inability to contact other mining companies. However, the study suggests possibilities for future
research including contacting other mining companies, expanding the sample size, managers
ensuring that the safety and health needs of staff are addressed particularly those exposed to
toxic and harmful chemicals. Originality/value: A lot of studies have been done on mining companies in the past. This
paper fills a gap perceived that employees in this sector are highly motivated in spite of the
challenges being faced by them, and knowing more about what keeps employees moving is still
of national interest.
