1.1 Introduction
Motivation constitutes a central element when going through the process of human
learning. If the organization does not possess the ability to motivate its employees, the
knowledge within the organization is not practically used to a maximum. Therefore, it
becomes the aim of every learning organization to find the factors that enable it to motivate
its employees to continuous learning and to take advantage of this knowledge to ensure its
living.
Barton and Martin (1998) have classified the major theories in motivation into three
categories, needs theory, cognitive theory, and reinforcement theory.
The most popular needs theory is owing to Abraham Maslow (Maslow, 1970) and it is
known as Maslow’s motivation theory of hierarchical needs. The hierarchy includes five
basic levels of needs, which should be satisfied consecutively.
Individuals are concerned not only with the absolute amount of rewards they receive for
their efforts, but also with the relationship of this amount to what others receive. Based on
one’s inputs, such as effort, experience, education, and competence, one can compare
outcomes such as pay, recognition and other factors. When people perceive an imbalance
in their outcome-input ratio relative to others, tension is created.
The goals should be specific and measurable, challenging but attainable, relevant to the
organization and must be accomplished within a specific period of time. It is usually
considered as a powerful motivational tool. Public employee perceptions of weak
relationship between reward and performance, greater procedural constraints and goal
ambiguity may have a determined effect on their work motivation. The frustration may
develop from dissatisfaction which prevents staff from doing a good job, including poor
timetable organization, inadequate maintenance of educational equipment, or too

assorted demands on their time. It was found that good pay and recognition were the
mosteffective motivator but on the other hand, benefits, working environment, co-workers
also have effects on motivation but not as strong as the previous two. The programs adopted
are job security, performance-based appraisal system, extrinsic recognition through
employee suggestion system, giving performance feedback, training in problem solving,
etc to improve the motivation of employees.
The female entrepreneurs are motivated to undertake entrepreneurship mainly by factors
that relate to economic reasons and self-fulfilment, including the needs for creativity,
autonomy, and independence. The younger executives working in the public sector have
higher level of career motivation and are striving to attain additional responsibility and
authority in workassignment, while senior executives are concerned with holding their
previous accomplishment and competence in their occupational role.
The more the ambiguity and uncertainty exist, in the government offices, the lesser is the
level of career motivation. The three factors, monetary incentive, human resource
development, and job autonomy that play as motivators to the knowledge workers working
in the financial sector. The motivation to learn in training was found to be significantly and
positively related with affective, narrative, and overall organizational commitment
If an employee lacks skill, appropriate training can be employed. If there is an
Environmental problem, altering the environment to promote higher performance is the
Key. However, if motivation is the problem, the solution is more complex and more
Challenging. For motivational problems, the best source of information is the employee
himself/herself. Employees must be asked on a regular basis what sparks and sustains their
desire to work. Their responses may lead the employer to redesign jobs, increase.

AN OVERVIEW OF EMPLOYEE MOTIVATION
“Motivation refers to the way in which urges, drives, desires, aspirations, strives, or
needs direct, control or explain the behaviour of human beings”.
Motivation can be defined in a variety of ways, depending on whom you ask. If you
ask someone on the street, you may get a response like, ‘’it’s what drives us’’ or
‘’motivation is what makes us to do the things we do.’’ As far as a formal definition,
motivation can be defined as ‘’forces within in an individual that account for the level,
direction, and persistence of effort expended at work,’’ according to schemer horn, et
al. This is an excellent working definition for use in business.
In order to understand the concept of motivation, we have to examine three terms: motive,
motivating and motivation and their relationship. Motive Based on the Latin word mover,
motive (need) has been defined as follow; “a motive is an inner state that energies, actives,
or moves (hence motivation), and that directs behaviour towards goals”.
Motivating
Motivation is the term which implies that one person in the organization context, a
manager, induces anther, say employee to engage in action (work behaviour) by ensuring
that a channel to satisfy the motive become available and accessible to the individual in
addition To channelize the strongest motive in a direction that is satisfying both the
organization and the employee, the manger can also active the latest motivation in
invidious and harness them in a manner that would function for the organization.
Motivation While a motive of engineer of action, motivation is the canalization and
activation of motive, motivation is the work behaviour itself. Motivation depends on
motives and motivating therefore, it becomes a complex process.
3
Nature of motivating Based on the definition of motivation, we can derive its nature
relevant for human behaviour in organization. The following characteristics of motivation
clarify its nature: Based on motive Motivation is based on the individual’s motives which
are internal to the individuals.
These motives are in the form of feelings that the individual lacks something. In order to
overcome this feeling of laziness, the employee tries to behave in a manner which helps in
overcoming this feeling. Affected by motivating Motivation is affected by the way the
individual is motivated. The act of motivating channelizes needs satisfaction.
Besides, it can also activate the latent needs at Motivating Activating needs and Providing
need satisfaction Motive Engagement in work Behaviour Motivation Needs in the
individual, that is, the needs that are less strong and somewhat dormant, and harness them
in a manner that would be functional for the organization. Goal-directed behaviour
Motivation leads to goal directed behaviour. A goal-directed behaviour is one which
satisfies the causes for which behaviour take place.
4
Each individual in the organization is a self-contained unit and his needs are interrelated.
These affect his behaviour in different ways. Moreover, feelings of needs and their
satisfaction is a continuous process. As such, these create continuity in behaviour.
Complex process
Motivation is a complex process; complexity emerges because of the nature of needs and
the type of behaviour that is attempted to satisfy those needs. These generate complexity
in motivation process in the following ways. 21
✔ Needs are internal feelings of individuals and sometimes even they, may not be quite
aware about their needs and the priority of these. Thus, understanding of human needs and
providing means for their satisfaction becomes difficult.
✔ Even if needs are identified, the problem is not over here as a particular need may result
into different behaviours from different behaviours from different result into different
behaviours from different needs of individuals because of their differences. For example,
the need for promotion may be uniform for different individuals may not engage in similar
type of behaviour; they may adopt different routes to satisfy their promotion needs.
✔ A particular behaviour may emerge not only because of the specific need but it may be
because of a variety of needs. For example, hard work in the organization may be due to
the need for earning more money to satisfy psychological needs, or to enjoy the
performance of work itself and money becomes secondary, or to get recognition as a hard-
working person.
✔ Goal directed behaviour may lead to goal attainment. There may be many cons buses in
situation which may restring the goal attainment of goal directed behaviour. This may lead
to frustration in an individual creating lot of problems. Motivation and behaviour
Motivation causes goal- directed behaviour. Felling of a need by an individual generates a
feeling that he lacks something.
This lack of something creates tension in the pin of the individual. Since the tension is not
an ideal state of mind, the individual tries to overcome this by engaging himself in a
behaviour through which he satisfies his needs.
5
Goal – directed behavior
leads to goal fulfilment and the individual succeeds in fulfilling his needs and there by
overcoming his tension in the favourable environment. Satisfaction is one need leads to
feeling of another need, either same need after the lapse of certain time or different need
and goal – directed behaviour goes on. Thus, goal – directed behaviour is a continuous
process.
Factors of motivation
i. Financial factors
⮚ Career development
⮚ Working condition 23
⮚ Job goals
Motivated employees stay in the organization and their absenteeism is quite low. High
turnover and absenteeism create many problems in the organization. Recruiting, training
and developing large number of new personnel into a working team take years.
In a competitive economy, this is almost an impossible task. Moreover, this also effects the
reputation of the organization unfavourably.
Organizations are created in the society. Because of changes in the society changes in
technology, value system etc., and organization has to incorporate those things to come up
with the requirement of the time. When these changes are introduced in the organization,
there is a tendency to a resist these changes by the employees. However, if they are properly
motivated, they accept, introduce and implement these changes keeping the organization
on the right track of progress.
7
Empowerment
Along with motivation job design, empowerment is also used as a technique for motivation.
Most of work organizations have a number of employees who believe that they are
dependent on others and their own efforts have little impact on the performance. Sense of
this powerless creates frustration in employees and they start developing feeling that they
cannot perform successfully or make meaningful contributions. In order to overcome this
feeling of employees and involving them in their jobs, the idea of empowerment has been
introduced. The basic those of empowerment have emerged from
the proponents of total quality management (TQM) which has gained acceptance
throughout the world.
He found that people who acquire a particular need behave differently from those who do
not have. His theory focuses on Murray’s three needs; achievement, power and affiliation.
8
Need for achievement
This is the drive to excel, to achieve in relation to a set of standards, and to strive to succeed.
In other words, need for achievement is a behaviour directed toward competition with a
standard of excellence. McClelland found that people with a high need for achievement
perform better than those with a moderate or low need for achievement, and noted regional
/ national differences in achievement motivation

perform better than those with a moderate or low need for achievement, and noted regional
/ national differences in achievement motivation.
✔ High-need achievers tend to set moderately difficult goals and take calculated risks.
10
Need for power
The need for power is concerned with making an impact on others, the desire to influence
others, the urge to change people, and the desire to make a difference in life. People with
a high need for power are people who like to be in control of people and events. This results
in ultimate satisfaction to men.
People who have a high need for power are characterized by,
The need for affiliation is defined as a desire to establish and maintain friendly and warm
relations with other people’. The need for affiliation, in many ways, is similar to Maslow’s
social needs.
The people with high need for affiliation have these characteristics,
They have a strong desire for acceptance and approval from others.
✔ They tend to conform to the wishes of those people whose friendship and companionship
they value.

McGregor’s participation theory
Douglas McGregor formulated two distinct views of human being based on participation
of workers. The first basically negative, labelled Theory X, and the other basically positive,
labelled Theory Y
13
Theory X is based on the following assumptions,
✔ People are by nature indolent. That is, they like to work as little as possible.
✔ People are inherently self-centred and indifferent to organisational needs and goals.
✔ People are generally gullible and not very sharp and bright.
14
McGregor tried to dramatize through his theory X and Y is to outline the extremes to draw
the fencing within which the organisational man is usually seen to behave. The fact remains
that no organisational man would actually belong either to theory X or theory Y. In reality,
he/she shares the traits of both. What actually happens is that man swings from one set or
properties to the other with changes in his mood and motives in changing. environment.

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF LITRATURE
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 also found that employees were more motivated when they were allowed to give input
on their working conditions and that input was [Link] and Rupp stated that
performance is a role of individual motivation, organizational strategy, and structure and
resistance to change, is an empirical role relating motivation in the [Link],
advancement of human resources through rewards, monetary incentives, and
organizational behaviour modification has generated a large volume of debate in the human
resource and sales performance field. According to Orpen better the relationship between
mentors and mentees in the formal mentoring program, the more mentees are motivated to
work hard and committed to their organization.
25
Likewise, Malina and Selto conducted a case study in one corporate setting by using
balance score card (BSC) method and found out that organizational outcomes would be
greater if employees are provided with positive motivation (2001).
The establishment of operations-based targets will help the provision of strategic feedback
by allowing the evaluation of actual performance against the operations-based targets. Goal
directed behaviour and strategic feedback are expected to enhance organizational
performance. Kunz and Pfaff stated no substantive reason to fear an undermining effect of
extrinsic rewards on intrinsic motivation (2002). Decoene and Bruggeman in their study
developed and illustrated a model of the relationship between strategic alignment,
motivation and organizational performance in a BSC context and find that effective
strategic alignment empowers and motivates working executives (2006).
Leaders motivate people to follow a participative design of work in which they are
responsible and get it together, which make them responsible for their performance.
Monetary rewards can be a very powerful determinant of employee motivation and
achievement. Garg and Rastogi identified the key issues of job design research and practice
to motivate employees’ performance and concluded that a dynamic managerial learning
framework is required to enhance employees’ performance to meet global challenges.
Vuori and Okkonen stated that motivation helps to share knowledge through an intra-
organizational social media platform which can help the organization to reach its goals and
objectives (2012). Den and Verburg found the impact of high performing work systems,
also called human resource practices, on perceptual measures of firm performance (2004).
Ashmos and Duchon recognizes that employees have both a mind and a spirit and seek to
find meaning and purpose in their work, and an aspiration to be part of a community, hence
making their jobs worthwhile and motivating them to do at a high level with a view to
personal and social development(2000).
Rensis Likerthas called motivation as the core of management. Motivation is the core of
managemen . Motivation is an effective instrument in the hands of the management in
inspiring the work force .It is the major task of every manager to motivate his subordinate
or to create the will to work among the subordinates .It should also be remembered that the
worker may be immensely capable of doing some work, nothing can be achieved if he is
not willing to work .creation of a will to work is motivation in simple but true sense of tern.
Motivation is an important function which very manager performs for actuating the people
to work for accomplishment of objectives of the organization .Issuance of well conceived
instructions and orders does not mean that they will be followed .
26
A manager has to make appropriate use of motivation to enthuse the employees to follow
them. Effective motivation succeeds not only in having an order accepted but also in
gaining a determination to see that it is executed efficiently and effectively. In order to
motivate workers to work for the organizational goals, the managers must determine the
motives or needs of the workers and provide an environment in which appropriate
incentives are available for their satisfaction .
If the management is successful in doing so; it will also be successful in increasing the
willingness of the workers to work, This will increase efficiency and effectiveness of the
organization .There will be better unlization of resources and workers abilities and
[Link] satisfaction is a fulfilling or optimistic expression consequential of the
consideration of one’s activity (Azash et al, 2011). Organizations today have realized the
importance of motivated and satisfied employees as important contributors towards long
term objectives. It has made organizations to cater to the expectations and needs of the
employees and could expect the similar response. Motivation also positively influences
performance at individual and group level ultimately affecting the organizational
performance (Risambessy et al 2012)
It has been long thought that learning new things and competency development
opportunities raises the morale and satisfaction of the employees but it is also realized that
the significant effect on the motivation and job satisfaction is created by goal achievement
(Lather and Jain, 2005).
Also the managers and the supervisors support towards encouraging employee
participation, mutual commitment, and understanding of the diversity issues play a
significant role in motivating and enabling performance (Snyder et al, 2004).The
prerogative lies with the organization management, in order to extract performance should
create an alignment between the organizational and employee goals and objective.
27
Organizations core potential lies in its motivated and satisfied employees who consistently
contribute towards organization goals and objective. Effective HRM system could be a
great deal of assistance in keeping employee morale high (Kumar and Garg, 2011). It is
not possible for any division to solely motivate and satisfy employees without support of
the senior management active participation and interest (K R. Solanki, 2013Elizabeth Boye
et al (2016) focussed on the risk factors associated with the mining industry, management
has to ensure that employees are well motivated to curb the rate at which employees embark
on industrial unrest which affect performance, and employees are to comply with health
and safety rules because the industry contribute hugely to the Gross Domestic Product
(GDP) of the country.

CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
There are a variety of factors that can influence a person’s level of motivation; some of
these factors include,
✔ Employee recognition
✔ Job security
29
Motivated employees are a great asset to any organization. It is because the motivation and
Job satisfaction is clearly linked. Hence this study is focusing on the employee motivation
in the organization.
Primary Data
Primary data The primary data was collected from employees through structural questions
and personal interviews with the employees who have attended the training programs.
Questionnaire
A questionnaire is a sheet of paper containing questions relating to contain specific aspect,
regarding which the researcher collects the data. Because of their flexibility the
questionnaire method is by far the most common instrument to collect primary data. The
questionnaire is given to the respondent to be filled up.
Sample size
A number of the sampling units selected from the population is called the size of the
sample. A sample of 110 respondents was obtained from the population. Sampling
procedure The procedure adopted in the present study is probability sampling, which is
also known as chance sampling. Under this sampling design, every item of the frame has
an equal chance of inclusion in the sample.

Source: primary data Interpretation It shows that the maximum numbers of employees are
male as the organisation contains much of male oriented jobs than female, and it is a male
garment industry. So, there are minority of female employees. Most of the employees are
under the category 26-35 years and a smaller number of employees in 36-50 years, this
may be due to the efficiency of work level of employees and the basis of work. Many of
the employees in the company are married as the working conditions and nature of the
work in the company is accepted and made applicable for the employees. Smaller number
of employees is unmarried as there are no sufficient aspects required by an employee. The
maximum number of employees in the company is graduated employees as they would be
aware of the basic knowledge and process of business in the company. Few of the
employees are the ones completed HSC as required for the jobs of their capability. More
number of employees are of nuclear family in the company is due to the comfort state and
conditions and balancing of the work and life is easier compared to the employees from
joint families, which is less in number as there is no balancing of work in the company.
