However, very few studies if any have been conducted on the impact of motivation on the staff performance of the Mambila Beverages Nigeria Limited, and this is because most studies on motivation focuses more on private company jobs than on public enterprises, thereby believing that only employees of private organizations ought to be motivated. This limitation of excluding the staff of public enterprise such as Mambila Beverages Nigeria Limited from the list of employees needing motivation, is what this study intend to bridge, by examining the impact of motivation on the staff performance of the organization. Survey design was adopted in achieving the objective of the study, by utilizing primary sources of data collection, specifically 126 copies of questionnaire were distributed, collected, and analyzed using quantitative research method, where tools such as tables, bar chart and other diagrams depicting frequency of occurrence and statistics for indices comparisons between variables were used in interpreting the data collected.
