INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY 
Business center or company is not merely a work place in an office, but in addition to that it is a social environment. Business activities in this aforementioned places embraces human relations which in turn involve individual and group behaivour and these attitudes emanate from different natural instincts and circumstances affecting us as individual or as a group. 
In any organization, the effectives and overall efficiency depends on the people in the organization. It then follows that the sole aim of the study of behavior in an organization is to observe, analyze and see how incentives influences people’s at work. In carrying out this task, we ought to know what people do why they do it and how they are doing it to reach the desired goal. 
In working condition, two pivotal questions seem to be on one’s mind: what causes people to do the things they do? And how their performance can be improved substantially?
According to Thorndike; we tend to respect those actions which attract satisfaction and reward and avoid those ones which brings reprisal and punishment (Zimbardo and Ruch 1997). 
The theory tagged “The imperial law of effects states that any act which in a given situation produces satisfaction, tends to be associated with that situation, so that when the situation re occurs, the act is more likely than ever before to reoccur again; conversely, any act which in a given situation produces discomfort becomes disassociated from that situation so that when the situation reoccurs, the act is less likely than before to reoccur again from practical point of view; Thorndike’s observation is still valid. Most people tend to see reward and avoid punishment in most of their activities.
On the same line of reasoning, skinner noted that “animals learn to associate potential rewards with certain activities and strife to achieve reward CPM Film 1975”; if there is no reinforcement for behaviors, skinner maintained, it will gradually disappear, for example; Emery air freight (USA) developed a system that provided feedback to employees on their job performance. Workers could then measure their own improvement and success. Management reinforced the changes with praise and recognition. 
The programme has produced significant cost saving and improved quality; lowered absenteeism and raised employee’s hope and moral. In any organization, both the managers and employees in a were environment frequently discover that they have different priorities and areas of primary interests. It has also been observed that managers tend to think mainly towards achieving the organizational goals; the overall effectiveness and efficiency of services and profit while non management staffs or employees are more concerned with personal or human values like good pay packet, fair treatment, security of job and opportunity for advancement etc. 
Managers in trying to achieve the organization goal have to work with people in the organization to achieve these goals. It is an established fact that people have always worked for the benefit derivable from such work. However, according to Akpala (1990) “pay is only one element of work”. Employees have complex needs that are not only influenced by their immediate managers but also by other employees and the type of work they are assigned and the organizations to which they belong.
