ABSTRACT: This study sought to analyze: (1) the effect of employee recognition on motivation; (2) the relationship
between working conditions and motivation of staff; and (3) the contribution of personal
development to motivation of staff. A sample of 278 employees out of 1000 employees was selected
for study. Survey questionnaires were used to collect data. The findings showed that employee
motivation at Equator bottlers was influenced by employees’ performance recognition,
working conditions, training and development. As a result, the study recommended that since employee
motivation remained an understudied issue among Kenyan companies; further studies
should be conducted with respondents sampled from different industries in order to further understanding
particularly how motivation strategies resonated with various organizational cultures
in the Kenyan context. Further studies should also include quasi experimental studies in order
to advance theoretical understanding of the effect of motivational strategies on employees in
Kenya’s organizational cultures.
