The study was descriptive covering a systematic sample of 30 respondents drawn NDC employees. Data collected through structured questionnaire was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical tools. The study found out that the organization uses many different tools to motivate its employees. These include; provision of fringe benefits, paying bonuses to workers who put in extra effort, giving a sense of responsibility, promotion of consistently hardworking employees and treating the workers equally. However, the study also found out that NDC does not use salary as a tool to motivate its employees as most of them were not satisfied by the management’s salary scheme. It was also found out that the organization does not carry out training of its employees. The study found out that motivation is the major factor that affects the level of employee performance. This is because when the respondents were asked about whether motivation is the most important factor in employee performance, 73% of them agreed.
