Underpinned by Vroom’s Expectancy Theory and empirical evidence, the study sheds light on the significance of cultivating employee motivation to enhance organizational performance. The research contributes to the field of Human Resource Management by offering practical recommendations to foster employee motivation and drive organizational success. The study adopted a mixed-methods approach, combining a structured survey questionnaire to 248 staff of the ministry to collect quantitative data and in-depth interviews to gather qualitative insights. The quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and hypothesis testing using one-way ANOVA. The findings provide actionable insights for the Taraba State Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security Jalingo, especially and the public sector organizations to optimize their performance through effective employee motivation strategies to enhance employees productivity and organizational performance. This study contributes to the existing literatures on motivation and organizational performance in the public sector, providing insights into the specific factors influencing employee motivation in the Ministry of Agriculture.
