5.Conclusion and Recommendation
- Employee motivation is crucial for organization’s performance and
employees should be motivated using different strategies. One employee may
be motivated by an extrinsic reward such as higher commission, while
another employee may be motivated intrinsically through job satisfaction
or a better work environment.
- Many extensive researches have
been conducted on various aspects of employees motivation during past and
major theories emerged from these researches regarding employee motivation
can be segregated into three main phases namely Needs theory, Cognitive
theory and reinforcement theory.
- Theory X and Theory Y by Mcgregor describes two main
attitudes towards employees and a conclusion cannot be drawn that Theory X is bad and Theory Y is
good since all depend on the various circumstances.
- However, theory X has
been considered as a negative way of dealing with employees since managers
influenced by theory x generally tend to get poor results.
- Managers or superiors
who embrace theory Y produce better performance and results whilst
allowing people to grow and develop. Fulfillment of Psychological contract
in employment is closely related to theory Y management style which has a
positive impact on the performance and the productivity since employees
become more productive when more trust and responsibility is delegated to
them.
Hi Dinuka , Well explained Blog on Employee Motivation . I would like to state some drawbacks of Employee motivation process .1. Requires an instructor or a leader to have personal knowledge of each individual in the group (Keenum, 2011).Further Pointing out employees when they have not met their goals is demotivating, and it reduces future performance of the employee.
ReplyDeleteHi Kasun, thanks for your comments and as you have correctly mentioned there are negative aspects of employee motivation as well. Furthermore, a research conducted by Nguyen (2017) revealed that having repetitive tasks every day acts as a reason for demotivation, boredom, and a lack of enthusiasm. In order to arrest this situation, it is advisable for the companies to implement job rotation for keeping the employees’ interest and satisfaction with work.
