ABSTRACT
The research assessed empirically the economic appraisal of job motivation and satisfaction among piggery employees. Multi-stage technique of sampling was employed. Structured questionnaires were employed in data collection, and data were analyzed employing descriptive statistics and probit regression model. Productive age of 48 years that were mostly married male with secondary level of education engaged in piggery farming. Moderate family size of 9 persons and a staff strength of 15 persons involved in piggery production. The probit regression results confirmed that wages and salaries were a major determinant to job satisfaction as it was positively statistically significant while advance payment was not a major determinant as advance payment was negatively statistically significant. High wages/salaries was most motivational factor of job satisfaction. The study exposed that job satisfaction resulted to increase in farm revenue and profit. The study suggests that motivational policy of high wages/salaries proportion to work executed and other motivational variables should be enacted in the piggery industry to increase revenue and profit.
