The study is significant because motivation and job satisfaction are vital in a workplace and in particular for this study, in floricultural farms. Motivation and job satisfaction both play an important role in employee commitment and in reducing employee absenteeism and boredom at work. Job satisfaction leads to cost reduction by reducing absenteeism, errors, and turnovers which therefore leads to greater productivity and industrial growth a major driver of most floriculture organizations'.

A significant positive relationship between financial incentives and employee job satisfaction, (r=0.787, P<0.00) was found. The study also found a significant positive relationship between a favorable working environment and job satisfaction (r=.793, P<0.000), and an effect of management style on motivation and job satisfaction (r=.787, p<0.000). From the results of the multiple regression analysis, the findings show that the independent variables contributed to 79.4% of the variation in job satisfaction as explained by adjusted R Square of 63.2%, this indicates that motivation influences job satisfaction.
