Background of the Study
Workforce motivation is a critical factor influencing retail sales and overall business performance. Motivated employees are more likely to provide excellent customer service, improve productivity, and contribute to a positive shopping experience, ultimately driving sales (Khan & Yusuf, 2023). Various motivation strategies, including monetary incentives, recognition programs, and opportunities for professional development, have been identified as effective tools for boosting employee performance in retail settings.
In Jigawa State, supermarkets face unique challenges in workforce management, including low employee morale, limited access to training programs, and high staff turnover rates. While research has highlighted the importance of motivation in improving business outcomes (Adewole et al., 2024), there is limited focus on its impact in the context of Jigawa State’s retail sector. Exploring this relationship is crucial for developing targeted strategies to enhance workforce motivation and retail sales.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the growing number of supermarkets in Jigawa State, many businesses struggle with low workforce motivation, leading to poor customer service, decreased productivity, and declining sales. Factors such as inadequate remuneration, lack of career growth opportunities, and limited recognition contribute to employee dissatisfaction.
The absence of empirical research on the link between workforce motivation and retail sales in Jigawa State hinders the development of effective management practices. This study seeks to address this gap by analyzing the impact of workforce motivation on retail sales in supermarkets across Jigawa State.

Limitations include potential biases in self-reported data and the exclusion of external factors such as economic conditions and competition.
