Some banks have failed to recognize the importance of intrinsic motivators such as employee well-being, relationship with co-workers, relationship with managers, organizational policies and extrinsic motivators such as training and career development, good working conditions, compensation, and promotion, which enhance employee performance. A survey research methodology was used in this study. A stratified sampling technique and simple random sampling techniques were used as sampling techniques, and the sample size was determined using Slovin’s Formula with a sample size of 984 was used in this study. A questionnaire was used as the research instrument. Seven hypotheses were formulated and tested based on the research questions. Data analysis was done using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and SmartPLS 3.0. software for Structural Equation Models. The result of the study showed that motivational variables ( Employee wellbeing, Job security, Job promotion, Training & Development and Work-Life Balance) jointly significantly influenced Employee Performance [(R2 = .235; F (5,983) = 60.091; p < .05)] jointly accounted for about 23.5% of the variance observable in Employee Job Performance. The independent contribution of Employee Wellbeing, Job Promotion and Training & Development were positively significant ( = .304; t = 9.079; p< .000), ( = .239; t = 4.403; p< .000) and ( = .109; t = .268; p< .000) while the independent contribution of Job Security and Work-Life Balance were not statistically significant. Furthermore, Organizational structure significantly moderates the functional relationship between motivational variables and employee performance. The study recommends that banks and financial institutions should always put motivational factors in place to encourage employees to do their best.
