ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

As a result of teaching system that promotes cramming up of facts I


looked upon my research guide as a source of free flowing information
source who will just hand me down the information as I take down
notes. This way I had learnt to learn. This was fortunately not the case
with me. I thank my summer training guide Dr. Nripen Medhi ( HOD,
Deptt .Of BBA )who helped me learn the meaning of true research and
who brought me out of the paradigm and helped me to think. The
knowledge gained from independent thinking is something we do not
experience in our way of education. As a result of this research and
interaction with my guide it seems that the real meaning of research is
just beginning to show.

Finally, I express my deep sense of gratitude to all those who have

helped me directly or indirectly in completing my project.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The inception of Emami Group took place way back in mid seventies when
two childhood friends, Mr. R.S. Agarwal and Mr. R.S. Goenka left their
high profile jobs with the Birla Group to set up Kemco Chemicals, an
Ayurvedic medicine and cosmetic manufacturing unit in Kolkata in 1974.

It was an extremely bold step in the early seventies when the Indian FMCG
market was still dominated by multinationals. Several such companies
headquartered in Kolkata were considering shifting out of West Bengal
due to labor unrest and political problems. But against all odds with a
vision of combining the age old wisdom of Ayurveda with modern
manufacturing techniques for creating winning brands, the company was
started with a meager amount of Rs. 20,000.

A dream of reaching out to the Indian middle class; a target audience


whom they thought will have increasing potential for consumption, the
company started manufacturing cosmetic products as well as Ayurvedic
medicines under the brand name of Emami from a small factory in
Kolkata. The first-rate quality of the products soon created a consumer
pull and gradually some people were hired to work for them. A chain of
distributors was established and the sale of Emami products spread from
West Bengal to rest of Eastern India and gradually to other states.

Emami Talcum, Emami Vanishing Cream and Emami Cold Cream were
great favorite brands with the quality conscious consumers in the mid-
seventies. The company soon became adept in selling beautiful dreams to
Indian women interested in finding their own identity. The signature tune
of Emami played over radio and TV became a household favourite.

INTRODUCTION

1.1 CONCEPT OF MOTIVATION

Every management tries to coordinate the various factors of production in


such a way that their contribution is maximum in achieving organisational
goals. The performance of non-human factors like machines, etc depends
upon the level of technology and the competence of those who use them.
To improve the overall performance of a business it thus becomes essential
to increase the efficiency of the human resource available, arising the need
For Motivation’;wherein, the management
arouses,directs,encourages,modifies and maintains the desired behaviour
of its workforce towards their work and towards organisational
committment.

As Mr. Rick Pitino says "The only way to get people to like working hard
is to motivate them.Today, people must understand why they're working
hard. Every individual in an organization is motivated by something
different."
Employee motivation is thus considered as a major task for every manager,
to motivate his/her subordinates and to create the ‘will to work’ among
them, by well analysing their needs and adopting various forms of
Management Systemthat may help create an urge/force to work better. It
should be remembered that a worker may be immensely capable of doing
some work but nothing can be achieved if he is not willing to work.

The project report entitled “A study on the Employee Management


System adopted by EMAMI LTD., Amingaon (Guwahati-31)” is mainly
conducted to identify the factors which motivates and will further
motivate the employees, and the organization’s functional units in the
most efficient and effective manner.

Emami Ltd., Amingaon


1.2 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY :

The objectives are the guidelines on which the whole project is based. The
following are few of the important objectives :

 To study the Employee Management system adopted by EMAMI LTD.,


Amingaon (Guwahati) for its employees (lower level factory workers,
office staff) .

 To identify the efficiency and loopholes of the Management techniques.

 To evaluate the role of Management in polishing the skills and


performance of the employees.

 To evaluate whether Motivation helps to identify the hidden potential


of employees that may prove beneficial to the organization in the long
run.

 To evaluate and recommend on the present status of Management


system adopted, in order to improve and maintain quality human
resources.

1.3 IMPORTANCE OF THE STUDY :

The aforesaid objectives must be important and must help to evaluate the
study. The importance of the objectives are:

 This helps in finding out what kind of Management System are adopted
in the company and how much effective they are.

 This helps in finding out how well the organization has communicated
its goals/objectives set and also the efforts on the part of the employees
to achieve them fruitfully.

 This helps in finding out the effectiveness of the Management System


adopted in the organization i.e. the success rate of the present
Management System and suggesting remedies for loopholes.

Emami Ltd., Amingaon


 This enables the researcher to analyse the involvement of the employees
in the organization i.e. how much dedicated they are towards their
work and what can enhance it further.

 This helps revealing the hidden potential, needs and wants of the
employees which if nurtured properly can be beneficial both for the
employee’s and organization’s overall growth.

1.4 SCOPE OF THE STUDY :

 The study is confined only to the EMAMI LTD.,Amingaon( Guwahati)


which is located in the EPIP Complex, Amingaon in Guwahati.

 The area of study comprises of the lower level factory workers and the
office staff. This was so, because these two are the best indicators of the
study at the manufacturing level.

 The study has formed the base or foundation for other researchers to
undertake research in similar areas.

 The outcome of the study may provide useful suggestions in improving


or modifying the present Management System adopted in the
Amingaon manufacturing unit of EMAMI group. And also will serve as
a foundation, upon which further strategies can be planned.

1.5 LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY :
Emami Ltd., Amingaon
A study cannot be free from hassles. There are always barriers that prevent
the smooth flow of the study. There were some limitations which occurred
while conducting the study. These are as follows :

 The time period is one of the major drawbacks, i.e., the time period of
the study was only 2 months which was very less in conducting a
research report and hence, it was not possible to cover each and every
sampling unit of the entire population (i.e. the entire workforce of the
organization).

 The study is essentially carried out at micro-level and so it is tough to


arrive at an extended, more generalized conclusion.

 There was communication gap between the researcher and the


respondents due to their workload, because of which they were not
able to give sufficient time for answering the required questions
which was necessary in interpreting the results.

 Another major drawback was that, the survey was time consuming
because the questions had to be translated and explained in details to
the respondents (especially the lower level factory workers) as the
language of the questionnaire (English) was not understandable by
them.

 The working timings and duties of the factory workers get shifted and
therefore they are not available when needed which caused a
hindrance in the free flow of the survey.

 The information executed by the respondents, may or may not be true


in some cases; they may not be serious or there are always the
possibilities of biasness on the part of the respondents answering the
questions.

 The sample size may not be a very accurate representative.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research is a procedure of local and systematic application of the
fundamentals of science to general in, overall questions of a study and
scientific technique, which provide precision tools, specific procedures and
technical techniques rather than philosophical means for getting and
ordering, the data prior to their logic and manipulation.
Research designs form a plan, the structure and strategy of investigating
process, which sets out to obtain answers to research questions.

2.1 SAMPLING UNIT/POPULATION:

Motivation
Emami Ltd., Amingaon
4 .1 WHAT IS MOTIVATION?

Motivation, in simple terms, may be understood as the set of forces that


cause people to behave in certain ways. The word ‘Motivation’ is derived
from the word ‘Motive’. Motive may be defined as an inner state of our
mind that activates and directs our behavior. Thus, Motivation is one’s
willingness to exert efforts towards the accomplishment of his/her goal.
According to Fred Luthans, Motivation is a “process that starts with a
physiological or psychological deficiency or need that activates behavior
or a drive that is aimed at a goal or incentive.”

A motivated employee generally is more quality oriented. Highly


motivated worker are more productive than apathetic worker. One reason
why motivation is a difficult task is that the workforce is changing.
Employees join organizations with different needs and expectations. Their
values, beliefs, background, lifestyles, perceptions and attitudes are
different. Not many organizations have understood these and not many
HR experts are clear about the ways of motivating such diverse workforce.

Now days employees have been hired, trained and remunerated, Hence,
they need to be motivated for better performance. People are motivated
towards rewards, something they can relate to and something they can
believe in. Times have changed, people wants more. Motivated employees
are always looking for better ways to do a job. It is the responsibility of
managers to make employees look for better ways of doing their jobs.
Issuance of well conceived instructions and orders does not mean that they
will be followed.

Managers have to make appropriate use of motivation to enthuse the


employees to follow them.Individuals differ not only in their ability to do
but also in their will to do. ‘Creation of a will to work is motivation in
simple, but true sense of term.’ Managers who are successful in
motivating employees are often providing an environment in which
appropriate goals are available for needs satisfaction.

Retaining and motivating workers requires special attention and the


responsibility falls squarely on the shoulders of HR as well as managers
and supervisors at all levels.They have to create a work environment
where people enjoy what they do, feel 2like they have a purpose and have

Emami Ltd., Amingaon


pride in the mission of the organization. It requires more time, more skill,
and managers who care about people, thus it takes true leadership. By
giving employees special tasks, you make them feel more important. When
your employees feel like they are being trusted with added responsibilities,
they are motivated to work even harder so they won’t let the company
down.

Motivation is essential for any company because employees are the


‘Assets’ of a company. Motivation is important for the growth of
employees as well as growth of the organization.

4 .2 IMPORTANCE 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 portrays the importance of
motivation :-

 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 for optimum performance in their work.

 Workers constantly get scopes for improvment (both skills and


knowledge) and hence are able to contribute to the progress of the
organization. This will also result in increased productivity.

 The rate of labour turnover and absenteeism among the workers will
be minimal and even help change negative or indifferent attitudes of
employees to positive attitudes through justified recognition and
reward for work done, which further helps retain talented workforce
and reduce the cost of new recruitment and training.

 There will be good human relations in the organization as friction


among the workers themselves and between the workers and the
management will decrease helping easy and smooth introduction of
changes without much resistance from the workforce.

Emami Ltd., Amingaon


 The number of complaints and grievances will come down. Accident
rates will lower down making work, a source of pleasure.

 There will be increase in the quantity and quality of products. Wastage


and scrap will be less. Better quality of products will also improve the
public image of the brand.

Thus it is often seen that:


 Motivated employees always look for better ways to do a job.
 Motivated employees are more quality oriented
 Motivated workers are more productive.

4 .3 TYPES OF MOTIVATION

When a manger wants to get more efficient working of his/her


subordinates then he will have to motivate them for improving their
performance.They will either be offered incentive for some work such as
2

Emami Ltd., Amingaon


rewards, recognition, etc or he may instill fear in them or use force for
getting desired work done.
The following are the types of motivation:

 Positive Motivation : It is based on rewards. The workers are offered


incentives for achieving the desired goals which may be in shape of
more pay, promotion, recognition of work, etc. ACCordint to Peter
Drucker, “the real and positive motivators are responsible for
placement, high standard of performance, information adequate for
self-control and the participation of the worker as a responsible citizen
in the plant community. ‘ it is achieved by the co-operation of
employees and they have a feeling of hapiness.

 Negative Motivation: Negative or fear motivation is based on force or


fear. Fear causes employees to act in a certain way. In case, they donot
act accordingly then they may be punished with demotions or lay-offs.
The fear acts as a push mechanism. The employees donot wllingly co-
operate, rather they want to avoid the punishment. Though employees
work upto a level where punishment is avoided but this type of
motivation causes anger and frustration. This type of motivation
generally become a cause of industrial unrest.

Inspite of the drawbacks of negative motivation, this method is


commonly used by almost all mangament heads to achieve desired
results.

4 .4 MOTIVATION THEORIES

The following are the most historic well- known theories of motivation:-

THEORY THEORY

4 .4 .a “MASLOW’S NEED HIERARCHY THEORY”

The intellectual basis for most of motivation thinking has been provided
by behavioral scientist, A.H Maslow is based on the human needs, whose
published works are the
“Bible of Motivation”.
Although Maslow himself did not apply his theory to industrial situation,
it has wide impact for beyond academic circles. The crux of Maslow’s
theory is that human needs are arranged in hierarchy composed of five
categories. The lowest needs are physiological and the highest are the self-
actualization needs. Maslow starts with the formation that man is a
wanting animal with a hierarchy of needs of which some are lower in scale
and some are in a higher scale or system of values. As the lower needs are
readily satisfied, higher needs emerge.

A satisfied need is not a motivator. Hierarchy of needs, the main needs are
five (5). They are as under :-

Self-Actualization
Needs

Self-esteem needs

Social needs

Safety needs

Physiological needs

 PHYSIOLOGICAL NEEDS: These needs are basic to human life and


hence, include food, clothing, shelter, air, water and necessities of life.
They relate to the survival and maintenance of human life. These
needs are to be met first at least partly before higher level needs
emerge. Once they are satisfied, they no longer motivate the man.

 SAFETY NEEDS : The next need felt in the hierarchical order is


safety needs, the need to be free from danger, either from other
people or from environment. The individual want to be assured, once
his bodily needs are satisfied, that they are secure and will continue
to be satisfied for foreseeable feature. These needs may take the form
of job security, security against disease, misfortune, old age etc as also
against industrial

injury. Such needs are generally met by safety laws, measure of social
security, protective labor laws and collective agreements.

 SOCIAL NEEDS: Man is a social being. He is, therefore, interested in
social interactions, companionship, belongingness, etc. he feels the
need to love and to be loved. In a large organization it is not easy to
build social relations. However, close relationship can be built up
with at least some fellow workers so that he feels wanted or accepted
and that he is not an alien facing a hostile group.

 SELF-ESTEEM NEEDS: These needs are reflected in our desire for


status, and recognition, respect and prestige in the work group or
society such as is conferred by the recognition of one’s merit by
promotion, by participation in management and by fulfillment of
workers urge for self expression. Some of the needs relate to one’s
esteem.

 SELF- ACTUALIZATION: This is the upper most level of needs. It is


the culmination of all the lower, intermediate and higher needs of
human. This refers to fulfillment. Self-actualization is the person’s
motivation to transform perception of self into reality.

4 .4 .b “HERZBERG’S MOTIVATION HYGIENE THEORY”

The psychologist Frederick Herzberg extended the work of Maslow and


proposed a new motivation theory popularly known as Herzberg’s
Motivation Hygiene (Two-factor) Theory. Herzberg labeled the job
satisfiers motivators, and he called job dissatisfiers hygiene or
maintenance factors. Taken together, the motivators and hygiene factors
have become known as Herzberg’s two-factor theory of motivation.
According to Herzberg, the opposite of satisfaction is not dissatisfaction.
The underlying reason, he says, is that removal of dissatisfying
characteristics from a job does not necessarily make the job satisfying. The
opposite of ‘satisfaction’ is ‘no satisfaction’ and the opposite of
‘dissatisfaction’ is ‘no dissatisfaction’.

According to Herzberg, today’s motivators are tomorrow’s hygiene


because the latter stop influencing the behavior of persons when they get
them and even one’s hygiene may be the motivator of another.

4 .4 .c “Mc GREGOR’S PARTICIPATION THEORY”

Douglas McGregor formulated two distinct views of human being based on


participation of workers. The first basically
2 negative, labeled THEORY X,

Emami Ltd., Amingaon


and the other basically positive, labeled THEORY Y. The assumptions are
as under :-

Through this theory X and Y, he tried to outline the extremes to draw the
fencing within which the organizational man is usually seen to behave.
The fact remains that no organizational man would actually belong either
to theory X or theory Y. In reality, he/she shares the traits of both. A man
swings from one set or properties to the other with changes in his mood
and motives in changing environment.

4 .4 .d “VROOM’S EXPECTANCY THEORY”

One of the most widely accepted explanations of motivation is offered by


Victor Vroom in his Expectancy Theory. It is cognitive in nature. The theory is
founded on the basic notions that people will be motivated to exert a high
level of effort when they believe there are
2 relationships between the effort

Emami Ltd., Amingaon


they put forth, the performance they achieve, and the outcomes/rewards
they receive.
The relationships between notions of effort, performance, and rewards are
depicted in figure below:

Thus, the key constructs in the expectancy theory of motivation are :

1. Valence : Valence, according to Vroom, means the value or strength one


places on a particular outcome or reward.
2. Expectancy: It relates efforts to performance.
3. Instrumentality: By instrumentality, Vroom means, the belief that
performance is related to rewards.

Thus, Vroom’s motivation can also be expressed in the form of an equation


as follows:
Motivation = Valence x Expectancy x Instrumentality

Being the model multiplicative in nature, all three variables must have
high positive values to imply motivated performance choice. If any one of
the variables approaches to zero level, the possibility of the so motivated
performance also touches zero level.

MANAGEMENT SYSTEMADOPTED BY
Emami Ltd., Amingaon
EMAMI LTD., Amingaon (Guwahati)

In Emami Ltd., Amingaon (Guwahati) both financial and non financial


Management Systemare used.
Financial motivators such as regular wage distribution,extra-remunerationa
nd pay increment, yearly bonus, advances, medical aid money, gratuity,retirement
benefits and Non-Financial motivators such as group recognition, worker’s
participaion in decision making process, delegation of responsibility and authority,
promotions, team competitions, trainings,challenging target competitions, and
providing with scopes for betterment are some of the most effective
motivational tools adopted by the EMAMI Amingaon unit, that has
proved incredibly efficient enough in motivating the employees and
creating a positive correlation between organisation’s development with
that of employee’s job satisfaction,employee’s committment and
employe’s trust boosting the zeal to work harder for the achievement of
the organizational goals.

Emami Ltd., Amingaon strictly follows the “SMART” GOALS technique


in setting, motivating and realising the organisational goals effectively,
wherein SMART stands for ‘S’pecific ‘M’easurable ‘A’ttainable ‘R’esults
oriented ‘T’ime bound.

The organisation adheres to the follwing ORGANISATIONAL JUSTICE


which inculcates a feeling of belongingness and loyalty towards the
organisation. They are:-
 Distributive Justice: The perceived features of how resources and
rewards are distributed.
 Interactive Justice: The extent to which people feel fairly treated when
procedures are treated.
 Procedural Justice: The perceived fairness of the process and procedure
used to make allocation decision.

The organisation also takes strict and justified actions such as punishments
in the forms of dismisal, retenchment, etc for all, to create a fear of being
thrown out if involved in unfair activities and to create a feeling among the
workers that all the employees irrespective
2 of their job post, caste, creed,
religion are ‘same in the eyes of the management’. This is a form of

Emami Ltd., Amingaon


‘Negative Motivation’ to get workers in the right track and restricting
them from deviating from the organisational set goal(s) realisation path.

The unit also celebrates Vishwakarma puja every year as a major fest day
in the company through which workers and their family members get a
chance to portray their talents in various forms such as dancing, singing,
painting, drama acts etc. The employees performing to the best of their
ability, are appreciated with rewards and recognition on this day, which
motivates other employees to give their best in their work.

Emami also celebrates World Environment Day in order to grow the


feeling of responsiveness and love towards mother Earth by planting tress
by each and every worker which even teaches them the reasons of, why we
should protect planet Earth.

Emami Ltd., Amingaon


7.2 SUGGESTIONS :

Emami ltd., Amingaon, proved up to have relatively sound


motivation within the organisation but still suggestions to a few
loopholes may help better management.

 At the outset it is understood that employee’s basic needs are


fulfilled with their wage/salary. In this connection if the company
increases the wage/ salary structure for its each employee, it gives a
direct boost to its workers to 2work at their level best, further

Emami Ltd., Amingaon


reducing turnover and absenteeism because it is evident acccording
to the system of scientific management developed by Frederick
Winslow Taylor, that a worker's motivation is solely determined by
pay, and therefore management need not consider psychological or
social aspects of work. In essence, scientific management bases
human motivation wholly on extrinsic rewards and discards the
idea of intrinsic rewards.

 Though 90% of the employees are comfortable and satisfied with


the training sessions held and their communication with their
trainers, but since training is an important factor of every
organization, the rest 10% should also be taken care of properly, else
it increases the training cost and makes work more hazardous prone
in case of those related to machine handling and maintenance, and
tasks become time consuming for untrained workers.

 Although, as suggested above that increment in wage/salary


structure would boost up employee’s dedicated participation but
through my survey, it has also been found that non-financial
incentives are more preferred by the workers because a large section
of the total workforce appreciates psychological, social and
emotional satisfaction much above economical and money driven
satisaction. Therefore, a balance of both should be maintained.

 Elton Mayo found that the social contacts a worker has at the
workplace are very important and that boredom and repetitiveness
of tasks lead to reduced motivation. Similarly, the study reveals that
health problems, personal problems, boredom, work load, work
environment problem, co-worker conflicts and insufficient
knowledge about work are some of the obstacles that the employees
usually face.
Hence, concern should be shown to rectify the problems by
providing close moral support to boost up worker’s enthusiasm to
work, maintain proper ventillated,accident
2 free,hygienic and

Emami Ltd., Amingaon


healthy work environment to combat health and work
environment problems and enforce job enrichment and job
rotation to reduce boredom and
co-worker conflicts, so hat labor turnover can be reduced to the
minimum. Adequate knowledge about what does the workset
comprise of? who is to do it? What skills are required? How it is
to be done? Are some of the questions, the answers to which needs
to be clearly stated before placing an employee to his/her work
field so that a worker has the minimum level of knowledge about
his/her work structure.

 The findings show that even if the superior-subordinate


relationship in the organization is quite motivating but still there
exists 5% uncomfortability in the relationship which requires
improvement.. Hence, in order to increase cohesiveness between the
superior and the subordinates, they must be made realize the equal
value and worth of both, in the progress of the organization.
Employees must be given freedom to make decisions on the job and
greater attention paid to informal work groups placing undue
reliance on social contacts at work situations for motivating
employees.

 Training (21%),Competitions(20%),Superior Assistance and Strict


Supervision (20%),Regular Wage Payment and Increment (17%) and
Justified Performance Appraisal and Disciplined and Systematic
Work Structure (8%) are the most commonly used and accepted tools
both by management and employees. Hence, these factors should be
laid much more emphasis to lure, pull and retain new and existing
potential workers.

 100% of the respondents are readily satisfied with the statutory


benefits( like ESI, PF, GRATUITY,EARN LEAVE, ADVANCES)
provided to the employees but still its worth suggesting a mandatory
adoption of LIFE INSUARANCE scheme and CHILD
EDUCATION plan for the benefit of not only the employees but
also their children so as to raise thier feeling of belonginess towards
the oganisation.

 Since, in today’s world scenario the ability to read, write and


speak correct english language 2and personality-grooming is very

Emami Ltd., Amingaon


essential to face the changing challenging competitions of the
competitive market. Hence, it will be highly beneficial if Spoken
English and Personality Development classes are regularly
conducted for all, to raise both organizational and individual
productivity standards.

 Study reveals that monotonous work form, excessive work load


and lack of specialisation of work are the only elements least liked by
the employees about their job. Hence measures such as ‘Job
Rotation’, ‘Job Enrichment’, ‘Decentralisation and division of
work’ can prove highly effective if implemented efficiently. ‘Core
Competency’, i.e, assigning the right job to the right person is a
must to realise highest return from every progressive and satisfied
job holder.

7.3 CONCLUSION :

Motivation is a state of mind and incorporates mental and emotional


involvement of persons in their working conditions. It creates
oppurtunities for the contribution to the organisational goals and
sharing responsibilities for them.

The Amingaon unit strictly follows by the principle lines of


2

Emami Ltd., Amingaon


Jim Stovall: “You need to be aware of what others are doing,
applaud their efforts, acknowledge their successes, and encourage
them in their pursuits. When we all help one another, everybody
wins.”

The scheme of motivation in Emami Ltd., Amingaon (Guwahati)


has been quite motivating to its employees but still the organisation
can concentrate on some specific areas such as conducting Spoken
English and Personality Development classes must for all
employees, perqusites allowance to the factory workers in uplifting
their children through adoption of Child Education Plans, Issuing of
Life Insurance schemes for all its employees, etc, in order to make
the motivational programs more effective. Only if the employees are
motivated well- they work well and only if they work well- the
organisation is benefitted to the maximum.

Emami ltd., Amingaon more often regulates democratic


management style where the employees (both lower level factory
workers and staff) are allowed a bit of space and freedom so that it
unlocks the creativity in the worker’s mind.The
manager/immediate supervisor/head, tries to relate to their
workforce and try to share ideas on how the work should be carried
out and how it should be improved.

If we compare management with driving, while the organisation is


the vehicle, then “motivation is the power or fuel that makes the
vehicle moving.”
