Abstract
An exploratory study has been undertaken to understand possible factors related to motivation of researchers in
Sub-Saharan Africa’s (SSA) agricultural research context. This is part of a large study aimed to develop
construct validity under Herzberg’s theory for motivation of employees in the National Agricultural Research
Organization in Uganda. In this exploratory study, publications related to motivational factors in SSA
agricultural research systems have been reviewed. Institutionalization of incentives, service conditions, job
security and salary packages have been identified as key hygiene factors. On the other hand recognition,
meaningful work, flexibility, career development, self-drive, freedom and work overload are critical motivators.
