study has examined the multidimensionality of motivation from the existing literature and
present a conceptual framework based on it and explains about various motivation techniques
which are having a positive impact on quality of life, performance of the employee in the
organization and employee satisfaction about their work. The originality of this study lies in
its theoretical framework where an attempt has made to come up with a construct nature

previous research papers few dimensions of motivation were used to explain the different
models of motivation theory which has direct impact on employee motivation in the
organization. However the models need to be validated by using quantitative measures. To
make the study more relevant, only those studies were included which were published on
motivation in the last few years. In order to study the various issues related to employee

LITERATURE REVIEW

One of the most important functions of management is to create willingness amongst the
employees to perform in the best of their abilities. Therefore the role of a leader is to arouse
interest in performance of employees in their jobs. In a complex and dynamic environment,
leader of the organization used to create the environment in which employee feel trusted and
are empowered to take decisions in the organization which leads to enhance motivation level
of employee and ultimately organizational performance are enhanced. Fredrick W Taylor was
one of the first theorists to attempt to understand employee motivation. His theory of
scientific management, also referred to as Taylorism, analyses the productivity of the
workforce. Taylor's basic theory of motivation is that workers are motivated by money. He
viewed employees not as individuals, but as pieces of a larger workforce; in doing so his
theory stresses that giving employee's individual tasks, supplying them with the best tools
and paying them based on their productivity was the best way to motivate them. Taylor's
theory developed in the late 1890s and can still be seen today in industrial engineering and
manufacturing industries. In the mid-1920s another theorist, Elton Mayo, began studying the
workforce. His study of the Hawthorne Works, lead him to his discovery of the Hawthorne
effect. The Hawthorne effect is the idea that people change their behaviour as a reaction to
being observed.
The concept of motivation
The word motivation has been derived from motive which means any idea, need oremotion
that prompts a man in to action. Whatever may be the behavior of man, there is somestimulus
behind it. Stimulus is dependent upon the motive of the person concerned.Motive can
beknown by studying his needs and desires.

There is no universal theory that can explain the factorsinfluencing motives which control
man’s behavior at any particular point of time. In general, thedifferent motives operate at
different times among different people and influence their behaviors.The process of
motivation studies the motives of individuals which cause different type of behavior.

2.2 Definition of Motivation.


According to Edwin B Flippo, “Motivation is the process of attempting to influence others to
do their work through the possibility of gain or reward.

2.3 Significance of Motivation


Motivation involves getting the members of the group to pull weight effectively, to give their
loyalty to the group, to carry out properly the purpose of the organization. The following
results may be expected if the employees are properly motivated.

1. The workforce will be better satisfied if the management provides them with
opportunities to fulfill their physiological and psychological needs. The workers will
cooperate voluntarily with the management and will contribute their maximum towards
the goals of the enterprise.

2. Workers will tend to be as efficient as possible by improving upon their skills and
knowledge so that they are able to contribute to the progress of the organization. This will
also result in increased productivity.

3. The rates of labor’s turnover and absenteeism among the workers will be low.
4. There will be good human relations in the organization as friction among the workers
themselves and between the workers and the management will decrease.

5. The number of complaints and grievances will come down. Accident will also be low.

6. There will be increase in the quantity and quality of products. Wastage and scrap will be
less. Better quality of products will also increase the public image of the business.
2.4 Motivation Process.
1. Identification of need
2. Tension
3. Course of action
4. Result –Positive/Negative
5. Feed back

Two Factor Theory


X Theory
 Individuals inherently dislike work.
 People must be coerced or controlled to do work to achieve the objectives.
 People prefer to be directed

Y Theory
 People view work as being as natural as play and rest
 People will exercise self-direction and control towards achieving objectives they are
committed to.
 People learn to accept and seek responsibility.
 Types of Motivation.

 Intrinsic motivation occurs when people are internally motivated to do something


because it either brings them pleasure, they think it is important, or they feel that what
they are learning is morally significant.
 Extrinsic motivation comes into play when a student is compelled to do something or
act a certain way because of factors external to him or her (like money or good
grades)

 Incentives
An incentive is something which stimulates a person towards some goal. It activates human
needs and creates the desire to work. Thus, an incentive is a means of motivation. In
organizations, increase in incentive leads to better performance and vice versa.

Need for Incentives


Man is a wanting animal. He continues to want something or other. He is never fully
satisfied. If one need is satisfied, the other need need arises. In order to motivate the
employees, the management should try to satisfy their needs. For this purpose, both financial
and non financial incentives may be used by the management to motivate the workers.
Financial incentives or motivators are those which are associated with money. They include
wages and salaries, fringe benefits, bonus, retirement benefits etc. Non financial motivators
are those which are not associated with monetary rewards. They include intangible incentives
like ego-satisfaction, self-actualization and responsibility.
INCENTIVES

Financial Incentives Non-financial incentives

- Wages and Salaries. - Competition


- Bonus - Group recognition
- Medical reimbursement - Job security
- Insurance - Praise
- Housing facility - Knowledge of result
- Retirement benefits. - Workers participation.
- Suggestion system.
- Opportunities for growth

8 Motivation is the key to performance improvement

There is an old saying you can take a horse to the water but you cannot force it to drink; it
will drink only if it's thirsty - so with people. They will do what they want to do or otherwise
motivated to do. Whether it is to excel on the workshop floor or in the 'ivory tower' they must
be motivated or driven to it, either by themselves or through external stimulus.

Are they born with the self-motivation or drive? Yes and no. If no, they can be motivated, for
motivation is a skill which can and must be learnt. This is essential for any business to
survive and succeed.

Performance is considered to be a function of ability and motivation, thus:

 Job performance =f(ability)(motivation)

Ability in turn depends on education, experience and training and its improvement is a slow
and long process. On the other hand motivation can be improved quickly. There are many
options and an uninitiated manager may not even know where to start. As a guideline, there
are broadly seven strategies for motivation.

There are broadly seven strategies for motivation.

 Positive reinforcement / high expectations


 Effective discipline and punishment
 Treating people fairly
 Satisfying employees needs
 Setting work related goals
 Restructuring jobs
 Base rewards on job performance

Essentially, there is a gap between an individual’s actual state and some desired state and the
manager tries to reduce this gap. Motivation is, in effect, a means to reduce and manipulate
this gap.

of employees too change with change in time. So continuous monitoring and close
observation of factors that motivate the employees is necessary to maintain a competent work
force. Only with a competent work force an organization can achieve its objective. Moreover,
human resource is the most valuable asset to any organization. A further study with in dept
