Impact of Employee Motivation on Employee Performances

 Shahzadi et al. (2014) stated that motivating individuals is the only way to encourage them to be fond of working hard. People nowadays need to understand why they require to work so hard. Every employee in a company is driven in a different manner. According to the authors, the definition of motivation is explained as: "Employee motivation is a reflection of the degree of enthusiasm, devotion, and creativity that a company's people bring to their tasks." A manager's job in the workplace is to get things done through people. To do this, the manager must be able to encourage personnel. According to Jain, Gupta and Bindal (2019), Motivation is an important characteristic that encourages employees to offer their best effort and contributes to the achievement of large corporate goals. A solid positive inspiration will enable employees to increase their output, whilst a negative inspiration would lower their exhibition. As per the authors, Motivation is an important factor in the workforce for CEOs.

According to Armstrong and Taylor, (2014) Motivation Theory discusses the elements that drive goal-directed behavior and hence informs the tactics employed in HRM to improve engagement (the condition in which individuals are devoted to their job and the company and are motivated to reach high levels of performance).According to Armstrong and Taylor, (2014) Business plans are commonly articulated or at least aspire to be expressed, in the common currency of numbers and concrete facts on portfolio management, growth, competitive position, market share, profitability, and so on. HR strategies may address measurable concerns like resourcing and skill development, but they are also likely to address qualitative ones like engagement, commitment, motivation, strong employee relations, and high employment standards.

According to Kuranchie and Amponsah, (2016) Employee Motivation in the workplace is considered as one of the most sensitive areas that influences the degree of the contribution that employees will put into the business in order to commit to high performance.

Motivation: Extrinsic and Intrinsic

According to Skripak et al., (2020) Before delving into the many theories of motivation, it is crucial to distinguish between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Simply defined, intrinsic motivation arises from within: the enjoyment of a task, the satisfaction of a job well done, and the desire to succeed.. Extrinsic motivation, on the other hand, is caused by external circumstances such as a bonus or another type of reward. Extrinsic motivation may also be obtained through avoiding punishment or a negative consequence; fear, it is thought, is a powerful motivator.

Video 1.0 shows the supervisor who arrives at the yearly review time and recognizes he or she has to get started has already failed. Appraisal is a year-long job, and no amount of last-minute work can compensate for the preparation required for a thorough appraisal. The method should have at least four components: initial goal setting, monitoring and data availability, continual feedback, and yearly evaluation. Because few tasks have clear, complete, objective output metrics that eliminate the need for judgment, the most often utilized assessment systems are of the judging variety.

  3. Reward systems consist of Financial and Non financial rewards. Güngör (2011) further explains these two means with examples where, Financial rewards are salary increase, bonus system, perquisite etc. On the other hand there are non-financial rewards which are; promotion and title, authority and responsibility, education, appreciation and praise, certificate and plague, participation to decisions, vacation time, comfort of working place, social activities, feedback, flexible working hours, design of work, recognition, social rights etc.

    However, the rewarding at the attainment of goals have also resulted a dark side. Welsh et al. (2020) concluded findings of literature, that individuals shown to cause stress and anxiety, reduce self-esteem, and promote a competitive, individualistic mindsetwere significantly and also more likely to CHEAT in order to attain overly ambitious goals.

    1. According to Khan, Waqas and Muneer, ( 2017) When awarding one, the management must decide whether to reward an individual, a team, or the entire organization, and one will determine the reward scope in accordance with the job that has been completed. According to Khan, Waqas, and Muneer, (2017) An intrinsic incentive genuinely meets an employee's intrinsic elements or motivators, motivating and inspiring them. Extrinsic awards genuinely meet employees' extrinsic elements or hygiene factors, preventing them from considering quitting the organization.

    1. According to Khan, Waqas and Muneer, ( 2017) The majority of people associate "rewards" with wage increases or bonuses, yet this is simply one type of reward, Extrinsic reward. According to studies, salesmen prefer salary hikes because they are dissatisfied by their inability to receive other incentives, but this habit may be changed by implementing a comprehensive reward scheme.

  9. There's a theory called Vroom’s Theory described in Ramlall, S., (2004) Essentially, the theory argues that the strength of a tendency to act in a certain way depends on the strength of an expectation that the act will be followed by a given outcome and on the attractiveness of that outcome to the individual (Robbins cited in Ramlall, S., 2004).
