1.0      INTRODUCTION

In this chapter, the issue of welfare scheme on the motivation of workers is addressed by looking at the background of the study; purpose and importance of limitation are all part of this chapter.

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY.

1.1      STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Human beings have needs which they expect to satisfy from such as safety or security needs, social need the needs for advancement in life. These need inferences their work performance or role, social relation with their format and informal, groups, their attitudes towards the management and their efforts to meet the organization objectives. one of the function of the organization is to motivate workers motivating them entails, meeting them to perform their duties by dial of controversy over the issue of what motivates a worker, some people has around that workers can be motivated through the use of money, these people are of the view that people work primarily for money. However an opposition view advanced by the human relation movement does not regard `money as the primary thing that motivates workers, they lay great emphasis on “man as the producer.”

In other words the advocates of the movement are of the view that a good working environment and the provision of social facilities for the workers will be valued more highly by the workers than monetary rewards, thus, in this work it will be working to look at then situation. Some scholars who behaves that welfare scheme motivates worker to perform includes the following.

Nwachukwu (1955), Ejiofor (1956), fried Lander (1964).    

However a scholars like Herzberg (1959) believes that welfare scheme  are hygiene factors and as a result does not motivate the workers to perform.

This study will therefore, set out to resolve and look into the impact of welfare scheme in the motivation of workers in Enugu State Broadcasting Service (ESBS).

It will also go further to remove the ambiguity between what motivates and what does not motivate workers in work situation. Using Enugu State Broadcasting Service as a research case study does not entail that other organizations can not benefit from reading this work.

This study will therefore be of great value to the practicing managers and leaders on how to harmonize their resources to effective and efficient result.

Thus, as the work will benefit Enugu State Broadcasting Service largely, there will be a sharp increase in the management awareness on the problems associated with the administration of welfare scheme in the organization.
