The write up is too long n it seem uninteresting, but to answer ur question yes money motivates employees among other things like job security, possibility to grow in one's field or career, d largness of d company can also put some elevation to ones esteem or status etc.

Yes, it does.
The thing with the human mind is no matter how developed we are, one thing we share daily is the struggle for survival. We've grown our whole lives conditioned that money = food. Following that reasoning anything which gives money betters our survival chance over the next man: employment = money = food. That is more than enough motivation to keep workers in line.

Although money fuels motivation and is a main motivator, not everybody is primarily motivated by money. Motivation sometimes depends on choice and values. I have seen people who choose to work in a smaller hospital just because the hospital has a free creche for its child
-bearing age staff. Some may also decide to work in a firm close to where they live due to their family and transportation concerns.

A well thought writer up. May I infer that in as much as money is a passing motivator, a good organisational structure and conducive working environment is much more a greater impetus to work than mere money. Some employees seem to not be at their best because their pay is not commensurate with their knowledge, qualification etc.
In nigeria, there are quite a lot of loopholes as employers especially of small establishments want to up profits by all means and as such you might see a person undertaking multi tasking roles.
In addition, the greatest impetus to work is the vision of the employee, an employee who wishes to grow in a particular specialisation will want to do as much as possible to garner the best experience in organisation where they find themselves

In as much as i agree with you all, that money motivate staff, how often do organization increase wages, probably once in a year, some every two year or so, money is jst for a short time, once you receive the new wages for like 2mnth, you start to hope for another increment, sometime once you the new package, you will ask, you will be tempted to ask, why the increment was very small like this.
