The study was conducted after realizing that employees in the local government and particularly at KMC lacked motivation that would end up with poor performance of their assigned duties. The study was guided by three specific objectives that included: to analyse the contributions of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation on employee performance in Kabale Municipal Council; to analyse other factors other than motivation affecting employee performance in Kabale Municipal Council; and, to establish the relationship between motivation and employee performance in Kabale Municipal Council. The study used a descriptive research design which specifically focused on correlation analysis of the study data. Using a questionnaire and an interview guide, data was collected from 152 respondents that included general administration, finance and internal audit, community based services, production, health and education departments at KMC. The collected data was analysed with aid of SPPS computer package for quantitative data whereas table content analysis aided in analyzing qualitative data. Findings from the first study objective about the contributions of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation on employee performance at KMC found out that the majority of the responses were on agree side with the average man of M=3.64 and SD=1.041. The second study objective about the other factors other than motivation affecting employee performance at KMC indicated an average mean of M=3.81 and SD= 1.110, implying that there were other factors other than motivation. The third study objective about the relationship between motivation and employee performance found out that there was a relationship between the variables as evidenced by the average mean of M=3.63and SD=1.123. Thus a statistically positive relationship was observed after correlating motivation with employee performance as evidenced by correlation significance level of 0.01(2- tailed) less at p-value of 0.000. The study recommends that the government offers support in form of capacity building and staff promotions as a way of realizing quality and good performance in the local governments and the administration of Kabale Municipal Council. Local Government is recommended to support employee motivation in both intrinsic and extrinsic ways so that the institutions are able to meet their targeted goals in time. This is possible when the administration schedules motivation programmes such as awards as a way of recognition, salary increment, promotions, among others.
