In Cameroon's public service, despite the fact that there are several forms of motivation (decoration of workers or the award of medals, the granting of some allowances or emoluments, etc), the motivational spirit is glaringly lacking. The efforts made by the government towards that direction do not create any concrete or significant impact on workers' output. This situation is exacerbated by the fact that there is no streamlined or well-coordinated policy to ensure public service motivation. It seems as if the world of motivation in Cameroon's public service is a jungle, a jungle which is amenable to the principle of Darwinism or survival of the fittest. In this work, motivation in the said public service is subdivided into two parts, namely, financial and non-financial motivation. Financial motivation is that motivation which directly involves monetary issues while non-financial motivation deals with the other forms or types of motivation.
