This work is on assessing the reasons for acceptance of monetary motivational strategies or non-monetary strategies in the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development of Anambra State of Nigeria. One of the major clogs to workers performance in Nigeria is their unwillingness to exert themselves in their working environment. The objectives of the study are to identify determinants of motivational strategies; to determine non-monetary motivation strategies for organization performance and to highlight the effects of non-monetary motivation strategies on organization performance. The work concluded that, non-monetary motivation strategies have little effect on worker performance in Sub-Saharan Africa; Instability in the polity favours monetary incentive; instability in the organization explains the choice of monetary motivation strategy; individual perception influences choice of motivation strategy; and corruption in the system favours monetary motivation strategy. Therefore the work recommended that non-monetary motivation strategies should be explored as alternative to or use in combination with monetary motivation strategy.
