Quantitative approach was used to collect and analyse data gathered from staff members of Kakira Sugar Limited. The study discovered that leadership styles, staff compensation and fringe benefits effectively motivate employees at KSL. The study therefore recommends that KSL should reinforce the supply of such motivational factors, to avoid de-motivated employees whose attitude adversely impacts the company performance.
