Abstract

The goal of this study was to explore how corporate culture and environment, as well as motivating tactics, affect productivity in both public and private institutions. The study's primary objective was to contrast the organizational cultures and motivating tactics used by various institutions to boost productivity. A case study research approach was employed to examine the impact of motivational strategies, organizational culture, and climate on enhancing productivity in public and commercial institutions. Ten personnel from the two institutions were purposefully chosen for the study, four of whom held managerial positions. The data was gathered through a semi-structured interview and was categorized into three topic areas using a thematic data analysis technique. According to the study's findings, World Vision, as opposed to the Amhara National Regional State Council office, used a variety of motivational techniques to boost production, with cash incentives being the most successful. It is also argued that World Vision's organizational culture is more productive than Amhara National Regional State Council's. Employees at both schools regard their workplaces as having an environment that is conducive to motivation, which will likely lead to increased production.
