For the purpose of theoretical explanation, the paper applies Maslow's theory of needs. The research designs are historical and descriptive. The sources of data collection were secondary. Data were analysed qualitatively. The paper purely a non-statistical research. The finding of the study reveals that the major factor responsible for low productivity in Abia State civil service is lack or poor motivation to the state civil servants. It is recommended among other things that Abia State government should through the State Civil Service Commission adopt the cafeteria method of remuneration or technique of motivation and ensure that it is used in the State at all time and at all levels, for greater productivity.
