EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This study was executed in order to measure the employees’ current satisfaction of motivational
factors and incentives in the company, that will help increasing their spirit as well as to use that
information to determine which factors and incentives could be changed, implemented, or
eliminated in order to motivate them to do their best work in the future. The study was conducted
by issuing a questionnaire to all employees working at the company. The employees that
participated were both full-time and part-time, from all different departments, and have been
working at the company for varied periods of time. The questionnaire was split into four
different parts, and the data derived from the questionnaire was analyzed and presented in this
report in four criteria: communication in the workplace, income of employees, long-term
incentives, and non-financial incentives.

INTRODUCTION TO THE TOPIC

A STUDY OF MOTIVATING THE EMPLOYEES
The efficiency of a person depends on two factors, firstly, the level of ability to do a certain
work, secondly, the willingness to do the work. So for as the first factor is concerned it can be
acquired by education and training, but the second factor can be created by motivation. A person
may have several needs and desires. It is only strongly felt needs which becomes motive. Thus
motives are a product of needs and desires motives are many and keep on changing with time
motives are invisible and directed towards certain goals.
Motivation is the process of steering a person’s inner drives and actions towards certain goals
and committing his energies to achieve these goals. It involve a chain reaction starting with felt
needs, resulting in motives which give rise to tension which census action towards goals. It is the
process of stimulating people to strive willingly towards the achievement of organizational goals
motivation may be defined as the work a manager performs an order to Induce Subordinates to
act on the desired manner by satisfying their needs and desires. Thus motivation is concerned
with how behaviour gets started, is energized, sustained and directed.
Employee spirit is an important aspect of company culture and contributes significantly to your
organization’s success. So why not show your team how much you appreciate them by
organizing an office dinner? Say a few words about how each employee contributes to the team’s
success to show them how much you value their work individually and as a cohesive team.
Boosting employee spirit is good for engagement, motivation, performance, and retention. And
while these four strategies are highly effective, you can always put your own spin on them to
create spirit-boosting tactics that work effectively year-round.

INTRODUCTION
DEFINITION:
According to Michael J. Jacius; Motivation is the act of stimulating some one or oneself to get a
desired course of action or to push the right button to get a desired reaction.
The word motivation has been derived from motive which means any idea, need or emotion that
prompts a man in to action. Whatever may be the behavior of man, there is some stimulus behind
it .Stimulus is dependent upon the motive of the person concerned. Motive can be known by
studying his needs and desires.
We called it "spirit at work" because there seems to be an energy that inspires these individuals
towards others or a cause, in spite of challenges. Through this research we discovered that spirit
at work includes four dimensions: engaging work, a sense of community, a spiritual connection,
and a mystical experience. At the individual level, spirit at work is a distinct, multidimensional
experience characterized by cognitive, spiritual, interpersonal, and mystical dimensions. Spirit at
work involves:

THEORETICAL CONCEPTS
15
NATURE OF MOTIVATING EMPLOYEES
Employee motivation is no doubt a major concern of most managers. The pertinent question here
is: how can employees be induced to serve organisational goals as part of their own goal sets and
to work hard to achieve them? The answer is through proper motivation. Motivation is“an
interactive process affecting the inner needs or drives that energise, channel and maintain
behaviour”.
The process starts with inner drives and needs that motivate (cause to move) the individual to
work toward certain goals, which the individual has chosen in the belief that they will satisfy
inner drives and needs. Once these goals are attained, the individual consciously or
unconsciously judges whether the effort has been worthwhile.
To the extent that the individual perceives the effort as rewarding, the behaviour of making the
effort is reinforced and the individual will continue or repeat the same kind of behaviour.
Industrial psychologists have pointed out that reinforcement, or what happens as a result of
behaviour, affects other needs and drives of employees as the whole process is repeated; hence
its cyclical nature.
16
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
Having motivated workers with a lot of spirit has shown to be linked with higher job satisfaction,
increased performance and retention. Motivated workers are willing participants in a position
and want to perform job requirements. Workers who are not motivated and who do not have
enough spirit usually perform tasks out of obligation. Some people are innately motivated and
have high levels of motivation where others require incentives.
Primary objectives:
To study the motivation and spiritual level of employees.
Secondary Objectives:
To study the effectiveness of the techniques adopted by the company in employee motivation and spirit.
The purpose of motivation and spirit is to create condition in which people are willing to
work with real, initiative. Interest, and enthusiasm, with a high personal and group moral
satisfaction with a sense of responsibility
To increase loyalty against company.
For improve discipline and with pride and confidence in cohesive manner so that the goal
of an organization are achieved effectively.
Motivation techniques utilized to stimulate employee growth.
For the motivation you can buy man’s time. Physical presence at a given place.
You can even buy a measured number of skilled muscular motions per hour or day.
Performance results from the interaction of physical, financial and human resource.
For the achieving a desired rate of production.
To investigate the condition of motivation in our banking sectors.
To analyze the influences and outcomes of motivation on employee performance.
17
To explore the extend up to which motivation has been able to meet employee prospect.
Motivation is one of the most crucial factors that determine the efficiency and effectiveness of an
organization with its help a desire is born in the minds of the employees to achieve successfully
the objective of the enterprise. All organizational facilities will remain useless people are
motivated to utilize these facilities in a productive manner. Motivation is an integral part of
management process. An enterprise may have the best of material, machines and other means of
production but all these resources are meaningless so long as they are not utilized by properly
motivated people. There was a time when the human resource of production was treated like
other non-human resources and was not given any special importance. But this old concept has
lost all importance in this competitive age classifying the importance of motivation Renis Likert
has called it. "The core of Management". The importance of motivation becomes clear from
following facts:
18
It specifies the following -
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.
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.
The rates of labor’s turnover and absenteeism among the workers will be low.
There will be good human relations in the organization as friction among the workers
themselves and between the workers and the management will decrease
The number of complaints and grievances will come down. Accident will also be low.
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.

DIFFERENT THEORIES OF MOTIVATION
1. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs:
c. Physical needs: Need for food, water, shelter, clothing, sexual satisfaction etc.
d. Safety and security needs: Need to be free from physical danger and the fear of
e. Social needs: Need for love and affection, acceptance by fellows and the like.
Three needs theory: McClelland’s three needs theory refers that; every person has one of three
driving motivators. Those are the need for achievement, affiliation or power. They aren’t
inherent; we develop them through culture and life experience.
Goal setting theory: The basic assumption of goal-setting is that goals are immediate regulators
of human actions. This theory refers to effects of setting goals on subsequent performance.
Individuals who set specific, difficult goals performed better than those who set easy and simple
goals. Some of the important features of this theory.
22
Reinforcement theory: This theory refers that we can change anyone’s behavior by using
reinforcement, punishment and extinction. Rewards are used to reinforce behavior we want and
punishment to prevent behavior we don’t want. Extinction is to stop someone from practicing
learned behavior at all
23
How Occupational Level Affects Motivation and Spirit?
Motivation is different for different people. Yet it is possible to make some generalization about
motivation at various occupational levels, the relationship between occupational level and job
needs.
A Study comparing needs of employees at the professional, managerial, official, service, clerical,
and trades-manual levels reported that self-actualisation, advancement, interesting duties, and
leadership were selected with increasing frequency from the trade group to the professionals.
On the contrary, the needs for respect, money, security, congeniality, and job security were
selected more frequently by people who belonged to the lower socio-economic groups (such as
trades and services) and least often by the managerial-official and professional groups. From this
study emerges the conclusion that needs and occupational levels have a fairly consistent
relationship.
Another study reported general agreement among scientists and managers concerning the
incentive value of promotions, merit pay increases and more complex and challenging job
assignments. There was a common feeling among these professionals that the most effective of
non-financial incentive is recognition of performance. This study indicates that self-fulfillment is
the prevalent need among scientists.
24
1. Job Satisfaction:
Studies made so far indicate very little, if any, direct relationship between job satisfaction and
individual performance. In fact, in certain situations they are inversely related to each other.
According to the expectancy theory job satisfaction is art outcome of the total motivational
process.
From this perspective motivation may be viewed as the activation and direction of energy or
behaviour while job satisfaction is to be treated as the cessation or gratification of behaviour. As
Gannon putit: “when organisational members are so gratified, there tend to be lower rates of such
outcomes as absenteeism, tardiness, and even turnover.”
4. Managing Motivation:
So long we have developed a number of theories of motivation. These theories explain why
employees display different types of motivated behaviour. Now the relevant question is : what
can an individual manager do to develop motivated workers?
25
Two important measures can be adopted by managers to motivate people: redesign of the
job and creation of a supportive climate:
(a) Job Redesign:
Changing the nature of the task related activities of work is being used more and more as a
motivational technique. Expectancy theory helps explain the role of job design in motivation.
The basic idea is that they believe that doing so will lead to intrinsic rewards. Reward has shown
that improvements in the design of work do often result in higher levels of employee motivation.
One study has found that job redesign resulted in decreased turnover and improved employee
motivation.
(b) Job Enlargement:
Also known as job loading, job enlargement increases the variety or the number of tasks included
in a job. It is an attempt to require ‘more of the same’ from an employee or to add other tasks
containing an equal or lesser amount of burden or challenge. Job enlargement is liked by some
people and not by others.
(c) Job Rotation:
By adding variety and exposing people to the dependence of one job on others, job rotation
assigns people to different jobs (tasks) on a purely temporary basis.Job rotation is likely to help
stimulate people to higher levels of contributions and renew people’s interests and enthusiasm.
But it is unlikely to bear fruit if workers are asked to do more demanding, less desirable, or more
time-consuming work for the same amount of pay.
(d) Job Enrichment:
Job enrichment applies Herzberg’s motivation factors to a job, thus permitting interested
employees to satisfy some of their psychological needs. This is also known as vertical job
loading.
26
In developing job enlargement, managers have the following specific areas to focus
attention on:
1. Variety of tasks:
Introducing new and more difficult tasks not handled in the past.
2. Task importance:
Giving a person a complete natural Unit of work as also assigning individuals specific or
specialized tasks that enable them to become experts.
3. Task responsibility:
Increasing the accountability of individuals to their own work and granting the employees
additional authority in their activities.
4. Feedback:
Making periodic or specialised reports directly available to the worker himself (herself) rather
than to a supervisor.
27
Broadly speaking, managers need to focus on three key areas of responsibility in order to
coordinate and integrate human resource policy:
1. Performance definition.
2. Performance facilitation.
3. Performance encouragement.
28
i. Performance Definition:
This is a description of what is expected of employees, plus the continuous orientation of
employees toward effective job performance. Goal setting, as noted earlier, is an effective
performance improvement strategy. It enhances accountability and clarifies the direction of
employee effort.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

RESEARCH AND METHODOLOGY
Research in motivation to measure the current performance and evaluate the effectiveness of the organization and
improve the system, otherwise which can impact on employee that can be eradicate from their process in doing
the job work. It should provide guidance and suggestion in management. “
1. Motivation could be defined as drive, the impetus or initiative, that causes an individual to direct his or her
behavior towards satisfaction of some personal need. (Lieblear and Mcconnal, 2004 ). But this type of behavior
makes selfish to the employees; it should be motivate to develop organization, through learning process not in
cash or kind. Author says: The objectives are to analyze and design the process to compete the project to face the
competition in the market. “
2. It is psychological process, the origin stimulus direction and persistence of behavior ( Luther, et.al ). But
motivation is considered psychological process that is impact on organization during the competition.Research
methodology should have key strategy, to approach in qualitative and quantitative methods. These methods
are envisaged in this paper and focused over the meaning of the realities and interpretation.
Qualitative Method:
Research studies, always approach to quality. The qualitative method is set of results viz. market competition,
communication and mainly attitudes of employee which is the main object of motivation in business competition
to win the target. It is an effective to the business organization. Ineffective causes affected to the business
development.
Quantitative Method:
In research methodology quantitative method is a small size, which respondent are target by research to attain
the objective and goals in business. Quantitative research based on statistic, it would be used to evaluate the size
of business at large proportion of size or in quantity. Which reflects the effectiveness of
the motivation to expect the result or some changes would be done to design the motivation in
favor of organization with effectiveness to achieve the competition in the market.
32
I also used the primary data collection method that includes QUESTIONNAIRE method:
Questionnaires are a popular means of collecting data, but are difficult to design and often require many rewrites
before an acceptable questionnaire is produced. The questionnaire is list of questions to be asked from the
respondents. It also contains a suitable space where the answers can be recorded.
A questionnaire is a method of obtaining specific information about a defined problem so that the data, after
analysis and interpretation, results in a better appreciation of the problem. The success of collecting data through
the questionnaire method depends largely on the proper design of the questionnaire.
ADVANTAGES:
It can be used as a method in its own right or as a basis for interviewing or a telephone survey.
It can be posted, e-mailed, or faxed.
It can cover a large number of people or organizations.
There is a wide geographic coverage.
It is relatively cheap.

SUMMARY
This document aims at providing employees and management members with the information that
can be beneficial both personally and professionally. Every business enterprise has multiple
objectives including of adequate profit for payment of a reasonable rate of return to the owners
and for investment in business through satisfaction of customers, maintenance of a contended
workforce and creation of a public image. The basic job of management of any business is the
58
effective utilization of available human resources, technological, financial and physical resources
for the achievement of the business objectives.
This project entitled as “Motivating Employees” was done to find out the factors which will
motivate the employees. The study undertakes various efforts to analyze all of them in great
details. The researcher in this project at the outset gives the clear idea of the entire department
existing in the company. From the study, the researcher was able to find some of the important
factors which motivate the employees. Factors like financial incentives and non financial
inventive, performance appraisal system, good relationship with co-workers, promotional
opportunities in the present job, employee participation in decision making are very much effect
the level employee motivation. It is also clear from the study that the company is so eager in
motivating their employees and their present effort for it so far effective.
The human resources can play an important role in the realization of the objectives. Employees
work in the organization for the satisfaction of their needs. If the human resources are not
properly motivated, the management will not be able to accomplish the desired results.
Therefore, human resources should be managed with utmost care to inspire, encourage and impel
them to contribute their maximum for the achievement of the business objectives.
It is always essential for a concern to access its strategies and reshape its destiny. It is necessary for every
organization to study the different aspects that affects the organization development. Every study has a clear and
specific scope. The scope of this study is limited to ENUM TECH. In this survey the emphasis is on the
59
motivation of employees. The scope of the study involves the preparation of questionnaire and the data of the
company.
A thorough study of the Motivation methods implemented by ENUM TECH trainers has been undertaken in this
report.
This research also provides the feedback of the employees with regard to their motivational sessions.
60
The findings and conclusion of the study therefore, may not be applicable to other industries.
Thus, generalizability of the results of the study is limited. Future research could avoid this
limitation by collecting data from multiple sectors and industries which could allow for
investigation of validity across different work contexts. Second, data were collected at a single
time point, which hindered the investigation of possibility of reverse causality between fit and
individual outcomes.Third, the present study relied their values towards better fit. However,
there are theoretical reasons to believe on supervisory judgments for measures of task and
contextual performance. Although it is presumed that supervisory judgments are good measures
of performance there is always the potential for bias in perceptual processes. Therefore, future
research might address this issue by including both supervisors and peer ratings in their studies
or using more objective performance measures if available. Fourth, common method variance is
a potential limitation of the study. Since data regarding personal values and organizational values
were collected from the same source, results obtained about the relationship between Person
organization fit measures and outcome variables could be a reflection of this. For instance, data
on organizational values could have been collected from employees with relatively high tenures
or top managers who were presumed to have a satisfactory level of knowledge on organizational
culture, whereas, another group of employees could be asked only to provide data on their
personal values. Fifth, the data was collected from the same source which had been studied so
the results may be biased and also because of the time horizon cross-sectional study was done. A
longitudinal study may refine the results in future.
As the respondents were busy with their work, it was difficult for the researcher to meet
the respondents and gain information.
The study was limited to a short period only.
The data depends totally on the respondent’s view, which may be biased.
The findings of the study cannot be applied to all other fields since it lacks external
validity.
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
In the modern competitive world, business organizations are facing ever-growing challenges
regarding commitment, engagement, belief, recruitment and retention of their employees.
61
Multiple studies in different countries and across industries show that employees who are
passionate about their jobs and the organizations in which they work are in the minority. DDI
(Development Dimensions International)’s own research reveals that only 19 percent of
employees are highly engaged within their organization. The number of employers experiencing
retention difficulties has climbed from 69% in last year’s survey to 78% in this year’s survey.
Private sector businesses claim to be struggling more to hold on to employees than any of the
other sectors (83%). Not only is that, also in the field of recruitment, a high proportion of these
organizations still experiencing difficulties (84%).
Motivation is about giving your staff the right mixture of guidance, direction, resources and
rewards so that they are inspired and keen to work in the way that you want them to. So, a large
portion behind these difficulties can easily be solved by imparting proper motivation. In the
fierce era of competition, organizations nowadays are more emphasizing on the management of
Human Resources. A manager capable of managing his employee effectively is a successful one.
Motivational tools are the most effective in this context. We always have to keep in mind that
employees are not motivated solely by money and employee behavior is linked to their attitudes.
Any Institution faces the challenges of employee retention, high cost of recruitment, training,
rising competition, increased rules & regulation by the government and high rate of
technological growth. Also, from the perspective of employee, they feel de-motivated and
overworked. For finding out more accurate outcomes we conducted our research within a few
branches of the IBM. The essence of the study is to find out at what level employee engagement
in decision making can motivate the employees to not only ameliorate their diligence but also
their perseverance and resolution.
1. WORKERS ENGAGEMENT
62
When employees are fully engaged and immersed in their work, they can achieve
astounding results. Employee engagement begins with the leader, and teams need strong
leaders to succeed and thrive.
63
A great way to improve employee engagement and encourage excellence is adding monetary
incentives to typical compensation and benefits packages. This rewards professional
achievement for individuals and stimulates team performance. In the same spirit, make sure the
pay and benefits for the team are competitive. Employees may be uncomfortable or reluctant to
divulge unhappiness about their compensation with management, so employers should do some
market research.
64
2. TEAM BUILDING
But what types of team building activities are best? Here are 5 of the top ones to organize.
1. Scavenger Hunt
A scavenger hunt is t when a team of people are tasked to find a variety of items, perhaps in one
location. They need to then bring these items to a designated location at the end of the time and
whoever has the most wins. A scavenger hunt is great because it has so many plus points. It is
incredibly fun and also encourages your staff to work together and think as one.
2. A fun day out
Sometimes a team building activity needs to just be a chance for your employees to escape the
office and spend some time together, which means, if you want to, you can simply organize a fun
day out. This could be a sightseeing tour, a guided walk, or perhaps a picnic in the sunshine; it
really doesn’t matter what you do, all that does matter is that you are coming together as a team.
3. Cookery courses
Cookery courses are a great idea for a team building activity. Not only do they teach a valuable
skill which can then be taken away and used elsewhere in their lives, but they are also great fun
too. Encouraging your staff to try out a cookery course really works as a team building activity,
it is a chance to learn something new, to improve on the cooking skills that they already have,
and it is also an opportunity to come together and learn how to work better in order to create a
tasty dish.
4. Karting, laser tag or kayaking
Sometimes a great team building activity is one that is a little on the physical side. Karting, laser
tag, and kayaking are just some of these types of activity. They are not only slightly competitive,
which is always a good idea when you are trying to install some team morale.
5. A team sports day
Remember when you were at school how excited you would be when sports day would fast
approach? Well, this feeling can carry on when you are an adult. If you are planning a team
building activity when the weather is likely to be fair, then you might want to consider a team
sports day. Not only is this incredibly easy (and low cost) to arrange, compared to other team
building activities.

Literature Reviews

1. Concept of motivation
Along with perception, personality, attitude and learning, motivation is an important part of
understanding behavior defines motivation as, “a process that starts with a physiological
deficiency or need that activates a behavior or drive that is aimed at a goal incentive”. state that
in a system sense, motivation consists of these three interacting and interdependent elements, i.e.,
needs, drives, and incentives. It is a firm belief of management researchers that, organizational
goals are unattainable without enduring commitment of the members of the organization.
2. Employee
Employees are always directly influenced by motivation to satisfy their esteem, physiological
safety, social safety, psychological and self-actualization levels. Herzberg [] defined job
satisfaction as recognition, responsibility, and opportunity for advancement as employee
motivation factors. Separating satisfiers and dissatisfies he identified dissatisfies as hygiene
factors that influences health, comfort and social wellbeing. Removal of these factors will result
in dissatisfaction of employees. Hygiene factors include company policy, interpersonal relations,
working conditions, salary or job security [10].
3. Decision making
67
4. Productivity
Productivity is the ratio of output or production capacity of the workers in an organization. The
ultimate essence of motivating employees is to meliorate productivity. An effective employee is
a combination of a good skill set and a productive work environment. Companies rely on
employees to produce and deliver high-quality products and services. Employees are impacted
by a variety of forces both internal and external as they attempt to perform their job duties. This
is directly related to productivity [10].
For any organization, the main reason behind running activities is to achieve organizational
goals, a level of performance set up in terms of different factors. Organizational performance
plays the principle role in attaining such goals. Some believe it is simply how content an
individual is with his or her job, in other words, whether they like the job or individual aspects or
facets of jobs, such as nature of work or supervision. Meeting personal goals help an employee
stay motivated and feel about them to continue to produce. By improving proficiency and
employee connection motivation helps to improve performance and thus achieving
organizational goals.
Motivation is such a scheme which is applied to inspire, increase stamina and work ability by
mentally conciliating the employees or workers to their work or job in a organization. In brief,
Motivation is something which inspires one to work self-intentionally, to pursue some designed
goal and implies the determination of the nature and locus of forces inducing the degree of
readiness. Motivation is a process whereby needs instigate behavior directed towards the goals
that can satisfy those needs.
68
When no one appears to be in charge, or worse, to confusion, resentment and an overall lack of
direction. Employees are demotivated because their objectives everyone thinks they're in charge,
it can be hard to perform at peak levels. A lack of hierarchy or direct reporting structure leads are
unclear, and therefore, difficult to work toward. Here are some issues that contribute to this
employee motivation problem:
Employees who are bored are typically unmotivated. They may not take an interest in tasks they
consider mundane or may perform poorly at the work they do attempt. Some reasons for this
motivational problem include:
Inappropriate hires.
Not taking advantage of an employee's skill set.
Lack of professional development opportunities.
Failure to promote from within.
3. Workplace Conflict
When employees are at odds with one another, or with management, it's not only demotivating,
it's also unproductive and could lead to a toxic work environment. Signs of workplace conflict
include:
69
4. Lack of Confidence in the Company
If employees don't feel the company is "going anywhere," or perceive the business is
mismanaged to the point of potential job loss, this feeling of insecurity can manifest as poor
motivation. Signs of this lack of confidence may be demonstrated in the following ways:
Regardless of the company's size, employees need regular feedback to be motivated to do their
jobs properly, and well. Some things that might make a staffer feel left out in the cold include:
Resolve this potential motivation issue by regularly scheduling brief private appointments with
staffers to touch base on both work and professional development issues. Hold regular employee
performance reviews, annually or bi-annually, and in these discussions, set specific goals and
objectives.
70
CONCLUSION
The researchers inferred to the conclusion based on the research conducted above and the
respondents ‘repercussion of the questionnaire supplied, that motivation indeed has a momentous
effect on employee performance. From the data analysis presented above we can clearly come to
the decision that the factors taken into account during the survey (Extrinsic factors, Job
enrichment and performance appraisal, Relationships and job security, Authority in decision
making, Growth opportunity etc.), pragmatically dominates employees’ will to perform and
achieve goals of the respective organization. The factors considered under Extrinsic motivation
are salary, monetary incentives and compensation package; the factors considered under Job
enrichment and performance appraisal are work environment, responsibility, promotion and
recognition and appreciation for work done; the factors considered under Relationships and
security are relationship with superiors, peers and job security; Moreover, Authority to make
decisions, Growth opportunity and prospects were also considered. The result evidently
represented the tangible sorting of how motivation is responsible for upliftment of employee
performance. From what the researchers found it can easily be stated that the connection between
motivation and performance is quite natural if not obvious. When the employees will get some
extra drive and exertion, it is bound to ameliorate their typical standard of performance [19].
71
RECOMMENDATION
The results obtained from this research can certainly be used very effectively to improve the
present scenario of motivation in different sectors of our country. It will help to establish a firmer
grip on not only organizational behavior but also employee psychology. Motivating your
employees is a delicate and purposeful challenge that requires more than an annual review or
jotting a few notes in someone’s personnel file. The following can be suggested based on the
research and survey conducted above.
• Based on the result provided by the study, the organization can get an idea of the fact if they
require taking steps regarding motivation.
• The study can also be used to bring clarity concerning how to implicate different theories of
motivation into practical field of work.
• To inspect the extend up to which motivation has been able to meet employee prospect
expectation.
• To inspire these sectors to enforce more motivational tools to achieve more successes.
• The results can be used to compare present scenario regarding level motivation and the
optimum rate of motivation should be applied to attain organizational goals most effectively.
72
FUTURE SCOPE OF THE RESEARCH
There are certainly more scopes for conducting research studies concerning motivation in the
future. The researchers conducted their study on banking sector. There are other sectors like
industrial sectors, marketing sectors, business sectors etc. These are the main economic power
provider for a country. If we can generate better outcomes from these sectors, our country is
bound to be developed. From the study above we see that motivation has a dominating impact on
employee performance, so, if we can find out more effective use of motivational tools from these
studies, it will certainly help to make our economic sectors more enriched.
