1.1   BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The efficiency of office employees is directly or indirectly affected by the

conditions under which they are required to do their work which affect the

performances of workers and the achievement of organizational objectives for

this purpose, this study will focus it’s attention on the effects of poor office

environment on the motivation of workers in an organisaiton.


According to Oxford Advance Learner Dictionary, “Are office is a room, set of

      rooms or building where people work usually sitting at desk”.


Egbe T.E. and Rita Ejiofor (1987: P.255) defined Office as a place where

      clerical activities take place” to put it succinctly, the office is a service

      delivery unit of an organisaiton, such services may include clerical

      secretarial, accounting and research duties. These are vital services that

      complement or facilitate the work of the executives in an organisation.

      Office reflects the company’s wealth, it’s value and it’s attitudes, for

      visitors and workers it is the company’s handful image and it provides
      the stage on which the more static element of the company perform for

      their customers, staff and community. Above all, office is designed to

      stimulate environments that encourage creativity.

Therefore, one cannot define an office without the knowledge of it’s

      environment. Are office environment is a business community where

      socio-economic or business activities are performed with a view to

      achieve organizational goals. It should be known that every business

      system lies within are environment in enhancing work motivation and

      job satisfaction is necessary in every organization.      Consequently

      management should look into work motivation and conducive

      environment as antidote for enhancing productively and influences the

      amount of work interest and happiness of workers.


The office environment are consists of office building, furniture and layout,

      lighting, air condition, ventilation, colour conditioning or decoration,

      sound condition physical conditioning in which workers operate under a

      safety measures and so on.
1.2        STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

It is the fact that human beings are one important resource available to the

organisation and prove to pressure and influences such as noise, poor lighting

and unsuitable work tools as this always creates discomfort in the work place

and tend to urge the employees to seek more suitable conditions outside the

workstation. These conditions, which are harmful to their health and moral,

results in physical and mental fatigue in other words, it result to inefficiency.

The general working environment of most Nigeria office with particular

references to Enugu North Local Government are subjected to utter neglects.

      1.    The office environment looks very use stimulating to the eyes.

      2.    The workers or employees have a negative attitude towards their jobs

            that is inadequate responsibility, high rate of absenteeism and

            discipline.

      3.    Also, the flow of communication between workers and management

            is inadequate.

      4.    Workers welfare is not taken care of or payment is nothing to write

            home about comparing it with economic condition of the country.
Looking at these problems, one will quickly notice that workers rate of

      production and organizational hazards that might cause injury or death

      of workers deriders on environment factors. It is the environment that

      will greatly motivate the workers to increase their productivity.
