ABSTRACT Policy makers in the country see the private sector as the engine of growth. It is the pivot around which our quest for the middle-income status revolves. However, productivity is generally low in Ghana mainly because employees are poorly motivated. The study, therefore, assessed the perception of employees on the relationship between motivation and productivity in some selected private organisations in Accra. Both primary data comprising field survey and secondary data mainly obtained from available journals, newsletters, books and newspapers were employed to investigate the set objectives ofthe study. For reason of convenience, three private organisations namely Poly Products Ltd, Pipes and Plastics Ltd and Peace FM were selected for the study. Quotas ofrespondents were allotted to the various organisations based on their population. The study revealed that, like the public sector, the Ghanaian Private organisations are bedevilled with poor condition of service that has occasioned the general low productivity in the country. From the study it came out that Ghanaian employees, generally, regardless of occupation or position are basically motivated to work by salaries and bonuses than other issues like achievement and promotion. Based on the findings, it is recommended among others that employees should be fairly compensated for the wealth they help to create. They should also be made part owners of the organisation.
