It zeroed to management style, motivation and staff training and their effects on employees’ productivity. 5.LITERATURE REVIEW Theoretical reviews According to Edgar Shein (1992) model of organizational culture, there are mechanisms that direct and indirect influence organizational culture; Organizational culture is directly influenced by motivation, behavior, status of the staff and opinions. It is also indirectly influenced by management style, mission and vision of a company, rules and regulations, corporate identity rituals and designs. CHARLES HANDY (1985) CULTURE Charles Handy Outlined Four Dif Culture Which Includes:- culture, task culture and person culture. Power culture is where power is held just by a few individuals whose influence is felt in the whole organization. Role cultures are based on rules. All expected to know their roles and responsibilities. Power in a role culture is determined by a person’s position in the organization hierarchy. Task culture: this is formed when teams in an organization are formed to address specific problem or project progress. In this culture the task at hand is the most important thing therefore power keeps shifting depending of the mix of the team members and the status of project being handled. Person culture: this culture has employees who see themselves as unique and superior to the organization and other colleagues and their major purpose is to work. Deal and Kennedy’s (1982) model for organization culture This culture is based on staff training, feedback and reward after they have done something. Action plans and corrective measures are effective when feedback is provided immediately leading to effectiveness and existence of a constant culture With the arrival of the western culture and gradual interaction with the global economy, livestock trade in Kenya picked more economic importance. The organization of livestock subsector started in 1898 with the creation of the veterinary department headed by the veterinarians in the British Army. 1n 1987, the department of livestock production was created. Prior to 1980, the livestock sub-sector was under the mandate of the Ministry of Agriculture but thereafter the ministry of livestock development was created. The existing national livestock department policy was developed in 1980 and its objectives were: to address the high poverty incidence, enhance foreign exchange earnings and food security, to emphasize on sustainable use of environment and provide raw materials for both processing and manufacturing industry. 4.STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Achievement of high level employees’ productivity in an organization would be crucial for the overall productivity and profitability of an organization.

International Journal of Trend in Scientific International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (IJTSRD) ISSN: 2456 Research and Development (IJTSRD) ISSN: 2456-6470 Deal and Kennedy (1982) outlined four cultures: Work-hard, play-hard culture: Here employees need immediate feedback and they have to maintain high levels of energy. Process culture: This culture has slow feedback and low risk resulting to low stress, slow worki relaxation and security at work and it takes long to find out whether the decision is right or wrong. Bet-your company: Here, decisions are high risk but employees may wait for long before they know whether their actions are right or wrong. Tough-guy macho: this culture contains a world of individuals who enjoy risk and who get quick feedback on their decisions. Here employees enjoy excitement and work hard to be stars. MANAGEMENT STYLE According to Armstrong (2003) the management style plays a vital role in developing and implementing organizational transition and ensuring that procedures for carrying out change assessment, audits and inspections are implemented. Management styles have the duty of monitoring and evaluating transition and taking corrective actions where necessary. Managers are responsible for ensuring that employees are conscious of the likely changes that may take place within the organization. Manager has two fold, first the employee must know what to do and secondly this knowledge must be translated into action following the transition that has taken place within the organization (Chopra, S, & Clara 2004). Management must ensure that the style it employs complies with laid down working procedures. Haroold et al (2005) noted that management style has to operate on two fronts regarding how to implement transition measures in the workplace. Making work better for its employees and ensuring appropriate working condition. According to Armstrong (2006) management style of any industry shou implementation of transition policies, communicate the need for good aligning of change practices, provide a systematic risk assessment, ensure that the change policies are investigated thoroughly, record data on transforming of existing rules and procedures which are used to evaluate performance and initiate action. Kennedy (1982) outlined four cultures:- hard culture: Here employees need immediate feedback and they have to maintain high MOTIVATION Motivation is the driving force by which humans achieve their goals. Motivation may be rooted in a basic need to minimize physical pain and maximize pleasure (Armstrong 2002). Intrinsic and extrinsic motivation: Intrinsic motivation refers to motivation that is driven by an interest or enjoyment in the task itself, and exists within the individual rather than relying on any external pressure. Extrinsic motivation comes from outside of the individual. Common extrinsic motivation are:- coercion and threat of punishment. Extrinsic motivation can be internalized by individuals if the task fits with their values and helps to fulfill their basic psychological needs (McCarthy 1994). Drives and desires can be described as deficiency or needs that activates behavior that aim at a certain goal. These originate from within the individual and may not require external stimuli to encourage the behavior. Basic behavior can be sparked by deficiencies such as hunger which motivates a person to seek food, desire for praise or approval which motivates a person to behave in a manner pleasing to others (Chandra 2006). Extrinsic motivation is simply what is done to or for people to motivate them for example, pay increase, praise, promotion and punishments. Hangman (2005) observed that if we do something it will lead to another. People work for money. Drummond (2001) observed that people can be conditioned to act in certain ways if they are rewarded for behaving as required. Motivation is the driving force by which humans achieve their goals.
