The relationship between motivation and productivity is the backbone of this research work. The project is an arduous attempt to study the productivity, using Enugu State University of Science and Technology, (ESUT) as a test group. Specifically, the research intends to isolate and analyse the motivational techniques employed by analyse the motivational techniques employed by the mentioned university to solicit workers co-operation. 
Methodologically, this study is descriptive and pattern of descriptive analysis is based on answers to certain research questions formulated by the researcher.
Statistically tool of the chi-square (x2) is used in analyzing the views of the respondents, the high lights drawn thereof;
1.Promotion of the Enugu State University of Science and Tec is a factor of Educational qualification and handwork. 
2.The workers – boss relationship affects the overall productivity of the organisation.         
3.Bureaucratic processes do not prevent the formulating and implementing effective staff maintenance technique.
