Satisfaction might be found in "sacrificial labour," otherwise referred to as labour of love. Uppermost in our minds should be the quest for self-actualization described by Maslow. In reference to the research study on fringe benefits and employees job satisfaction in the public sector, there is need for further review of different types of fringe benefits as practiced in both private and public sector, the management should also review the welfare package of the members of staffs, to increase their level of motivation and job satisfaction. The result of the study reveals that Nigerian Port Authority has performed fairly well, but it can improve on its achievements making the sky its limits if these recommendations are viewed with rapt attention. The management of Nigeria Port Authority should provide buses to convey workers from the company premises to their various homes. This will definitely reduce the degree of lateness to work, at the same time, increase their morale.
