Employee Motivation
Employee Motivation
INTRODUCTION
1
EMPLOYEE MOTIVATION
However large or small a company or business is, it is employees at all levels that can make or
break it. This holds true not only for the people we hire on a regular basis, but also for temporary
and contracted workers. It is as important to research and study the needs, drives, and
expectations of people we hire or employ, and aim at responding to and satisfying those, as it is
with regard to customers.
In actual fact, considering the role each "employee" plays in a company's success, analyzing and
planning an adequate response to employees' motivations deserves first place in the order of
business.
Before going any further, let us shift our approach from grouping people under the generic
category of "employee" to individual human beings and term them as "hired workers" or
"working partners". This is what they are. We must acknowledge them as human beings with
individual needs, drives, characteristics, personalities, and acknowledge their contribution to the
business success.
A major function of leaders is to support the motivation of other individuals and groups. (There
is debate as to whether a person can motivate another versus whether a person can only support
another to motivate themselves.) There are approaches to motivating people that are destructive,
for example, fear and intimidation. While these approaches can seem very effective in promptly
motivating people, the approaches are hurtful, and in addition, they usually only motivate for the
short-term. There are also approaches that are constructive, for example, effective delegation and
coaching. These constructive approaches can be very effective in motivating others and for long
periods of time. Different people can have quite different motivators, for example, by more
money, more recognition, time off from work, promotions, opportunities for learning, or
opportunities for socializing and relationships. Therefore, when attempting to help motivate
people, it's important to identify what motivates each of them. Ultimately, though, long-term
motivation comes from people motivating themselves.

DEFINITION OF MOTIVATION:
Motivation has been variously defined by scholars. Usually one or more of these words
are included inn the definition: desires, wants, aims, goals, drives, movies and incentives.
Motivation is derived from the Latin word Move on which means to move.
Human motives are internalized goals within individuals. A motive is an inner state that
energies activates, or moves and directs or channels behavior towards goals.
SCOPE OF STUDY
A common place that we see the need to apply motivation is in the work place. In the work force,
we can see motivation play a key role in leadership success. A person unable to grasp motivation
and apply it, will not become or stay a leader. It is critical that anyone seeking to lead or motivate
understand "Howletts Hierarchy of Work Motivators."
Salary, benefits, working conditions, supervision, policy, safety, security, affiliation, and
relationships are all externally motivated needs. These are the first three levels of "Howletts
Hierarchy" When these needs are achieved; the person moves up to level four and then five.
However, if levels one through three are not met, the person becomes dissatisfied with their job.
When satisfaction is not found, the person becomes less productive and eventually quits or is
fired. Achievement, advancement, recognition, growth, responsibility, and job nature are internal
motivators. These are the last two levels of "Howletts Hierarchy." They occur when the person
motivates themselves (after external motivation needs are met.) An employer or leader that meets
3
the needs on the "Howletts Hierarchy" will see motivated employees and see productivity
increase. Understanding the definition of motivation, and then applying it, is one of the most
prevalent challenges facing employers and supervisors. Companies often spend thousands of
dollars each year hiring outside firms just to give motivation seminars.

INDUSTRY PROFILE
&
COMPANY PROFILE
6
A bank is a financial institution that accepts deposits and channels those deposits into lending
activities. Banks primarily provide financial services to customers while enriching investors.
Government restrictions on financial activities by banks vary over time and location. Banks are
important players in financial markets and offer services such as investment funds and loans. In
some countries such as Germany, banks have historically owned major stakes in industrial
corporations while in other countries such as the United States banks are prohibited from owning
non-financial companies. In Japan, banks are usually the nexus of a cross-share holding entity
known as the keiretsu. In France, bancassurance is prevalent, as most banks offer insurance
services (and now real estate services) to their clients.
Introduction
Indias banking sector is constantly growing. Since the turn of the century, there has been a
noticeable upsurge in transactions through ATMs, and also internet and mobile banking.
Following the passing of the Banking Laws (Amendment) Bill by the Indian Parliament in 2012,
the landscape of the banking industry began to change. The bill allows the Reserve Bank of India
(RBI) to make final guidelines on issuing new licenses, which could lead to a bigger number of
banks in the country. Some banks have already received licences from the government, and the
RBI's new norms will provide incentives to banks to spot bad loans and take requisite action to
keep rogue borrowers in check.
Over the next decade, the banking sector is projected to create up to two million new jobs, driven
by the efforts of the RBI and the Government of India to integrate financial services into rural
areas. Also, the traditional way of operations will slowly give way to modern technology.
Market size
Total banking assets in India touched US$ 1.8 trillion in FY13 and are anticipated to cross US$
28.5 trillion in FY25.
Bank deposits have grown at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.2 per cent over
FY0613. Total deposits in FY13 were US$ 1,274.3 billion.
7
Total banking sector credit is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 18.1 per cent (in terms of INR)
to reach US$ 2.4 trillion by 2017.
In FY14, private sector lenders witnessed discernable growth in credit cards and personal loan
businesses. ICICI Bank witnessed 141.6 per cent growth in personal loan disbursement in FY14,
as per a report by Emkay Global Financial Services. Axis Bank's personal loan business also rose
49.8 per cent and its credit card business expanded by 31.1 per cent.
Investments
Bengaluru-based software services exporter Mphasis Ltd has bagged a five-year contract from
Punjab National Bank (PNB) to set up the banks contact centres in Mangalore and Noida (UP).
Mphasis will provide support for all banking products and services, including deposits
operations, lending services, banking processes, internet banking, and account and card-related
services. The company will also offer services in multiple languages.
Microfinance companies have committed to setting up at least 30 million bank accounts within a
year through tie-ups with banks, as part of the Indian governments financial inclusion plan. The
commitment was made at a meeting of representatives of 25 large microfinance companies and
banks and government representatives, which included financial services secretary Mr GS
Sandhu.
Export-Import Bank of India (Exim Bank) will increase its focus on supporting project exports
from India to South Asia, Africa and Latin America, as per Mr Yaduvendra Mathur, Chairman
and MD, Exim Bank. The bank has moved up the value chain by supporting project exports so
that India earns foreign exchange. In 201213, Exim Bank lent support to 85 project export
contracts worth Rs 24,255 crore (US$ 3.96 billion) secured by 47 companies in 23 countries.
Government Initiatives
The RBI has given banks greater flexibility to refinance current long-gestation project loans
worth Rs 1,000 crore (US$ 163.42 million) and more, and has allowed partial buyout of such
loans by other financial institutions as standard practice. The earlier stipulation was that buyers
8
should purchase at least 50 per cent of the loan from the existing banks. Now, they get as low as
25 per cent of the loan value and the loan will still be treated as standard.
The RBI has also relaxed norms for mortgage guarantee companies (MGC) enabling these firms
to use contingency reserves to cover for the losses suffered by the mortgage guarantee holders,
without the approval of the apex bank. However, such a measure can only be initiated if there is
no single option left to recoup the losses.
SBI is planning to launch a contact-less or tap-and-go card facility to make payments in India.
Contact-less payment is a technology that has been adopted in several countries, including
Australia, Canada and the UK, where customers can simply tap or wave their card over a reader
at a point-of-sale terminal, which reads the card and allows transactions.
SBI and its five associate banks also plan to empower account holders at the bottom of the social
pyramid with a customer call facility. The proposed facility will help customers get an update on
available balance, last five transactions and cheque book request on their mobile phones.
Road Ahead
India is yet to tap into the potential of mobile banking and digital financial services. Forty-seven
per cent of the populace have bank accounts, of which half lie dormant due to reliance on cash
transactions, as per a report. Still, the industry holds a lot of promise.
India's banking sector could become the fifth largest banking sector in the world by 2020 and the
third largest by 2025. These days, Indian banks are turning their focus to servicing clients and
enhancing their technology infrastructure, which can help improve customer experience as well
as give banks a competitive edge.

The level of government regulation of the banking industry varies widely, with countries such as
Iceland, having relatively light regulation of the banking sector, and countries such as China
having a wide variety of regulations but no systematic process that can be followed typical of a
communist system.
The oldest bank still in existence is Monte dei Paschi di Siena, headquartered in Siena, Italy,
which has been operating continuously since 1472.

History
The name bank derives from the Italian word banco "desk/bench", used during the Renaissance
by Jewish Florentine bankers, who used to make their transactions above a desk covered by a
green tablecloth. However, there are traces of banking activity even in ancient times, which
indicates that the word 'bank' might not necessarily come from the word 'banco'.
In fact, the word traces its origins back to the Ancient Roman Empire, where moneylenders
would set up their stalls in the middle of enclosed courtyards called macella on a long bench
called a bancu, from which the words banco and bank are derived. As a moneychanger, the
merchant at the bancu did not so much invest money as merely convert the foreign currency into
the only legal tender in Romethat of the Imperial Mint.
The earliest evidence of money-changing activity is depicted on a silver drachm coin from
ancient Hellenic colony Trapezus on the Black Sea, modern Trabzon, c. 350325 BC, presented
in the British Museum in London. The coin shows a banker's table (trapeza) laden with coins, a
pun on the name of the city.
In fact, even today in Modern Greek the word Trapeza () means both a table and a bank.
Banks act as payment agents by conducting checking or current accounts for customers, paying
cheques drawn by customers on the bank, and collecting cheques deposited to customers' current
accounts. Banks also enable customer payments via other payment methods such as telegraphic
transfer, EFTPOS, and ATM.
Banks borrow money by accepting funds deposited on current accounts, by accepting term
deposits, and by issuing debt securities such as banknotes and bonds. Banks lend money by
making advances to customers on current accounts, by making installment loans, and by
investing in marketable debt securities and other forms of money lending.
10
Banks provide almost all payment services, and a bank account is considered indispensable by
most businesses, individuals and governments. Non-banks that provide payment services such as
remittance companies are not normally considered an adequate substitute for having a bank
account.
Banks borrow most funds from households and non-financial businesses, and lend most funds to
households and non-financial businesses, but non-bank lenders provide a significant and in many
cases adequate substitute for bank loans, and money market funds, cash management trusts and
other non-bank financial institutions in many cases provide an adequate substitute to banks for
lending savings to.
Entry regulation
Currently in most jurisdictions commercial banks are regulated by government entities and
require a special bank licence to operate.
Usually the definition of the business of banking for the purposes of regulation is extended to
include acceptance of deposits, even if they are not repayable to the customer's orderalthough
money lending, by itself, is generally not included in the definition.
Unlike most other regulated industries, the regulator is typically also a participant in the market,
i.e. a government-owned (central) bank. Central banks also typically have a monopoly on the
business of issuing banknotes. However, in some countries this is not the case. In the UK, for
example, the Financial Services Authority licences banks, and some commercial banks (such as
the Bank of Scotland) issue their own banknotes in addition to those issued by the Bank of
England, the UK government's central bank.
Bank statements are accounting records produced by banks under the various accounting
standards of the world. Under GAAP and IFRS there are two kinds of accounts: debit and credit.
Credit accounts are Revenue, Equity and Liabilities. Debit Accounts are Assets and Expenses.
11
This means you credit a credit account to increase its balance, and you debit a debit account to
decrease its balance.
This also means you debit your savings account every time you deposit money into it (and the
account is normally in deficit), while you credit your credit card account every time you spend
money from it (and the account is normally in credit).
However, if you read your bank statement, it will say the oppositethat you credit your account
when you deposit money, and you debit it when you withdraw funds. If you have cash in your
account, you have a positive (or credit) balance; if you are overdrawn, you have a negative (or
deficit) balance.
The reason for this is that the bank, and not you, has produced the bank statement. Your savings
might be your assets, but the bank's liability, so they are credit accounts (which should have a
positive balance). Conversely, your loans are your liabilities but the bank's assets, so they are
debit accounts (which should also have a positive balance).
Where bank transactions, balances, credits and debits are discussed below, they are done so from
the viewpoint of the account holderwhich is traditionally what most people are used to seeing.
Economic functions
1. issue of money, in the form of banknotes and current accounts subject to cheque or
payment at the customer's order. These claims on banks can act as money because they
are negotiable and/or repayable on demand, and hence valued at par. They are effectively
transferable by mere delivery, in the case of banknotes, or by drawing a cheque that the
payee may bank or cash.
2. netting and settlement of payments banks act as both collection and paying agents for
customers, participating in interbank clearing and settlement systems to collect, present,
be presented with, and pay payment instruments. This enables banks to economise on
reserves held for settlement of payments, since inward and outward payments offset each
other. It also enables the offsetting of payment flows between geographical areas,
reducing the cost of settlement between them.
12
3. credit intermediation banks borrow and lend back-to-back on their own account as
middle men.
4. credit quality improvement banks lend money to ordinary commercial and personal
borrowers (ordinary credit quality), but are high quality borrowers. The improvement
comes from diversification of the bank's assets and capital which provides a buffer to
absorb losses without defaulting on its obligations. However, banknotes and deposits are
generally unsecured; if the bank gets into difficulty and pledges assets as security, to raise
the funding it needs to continue to operate, this puts the note holders and depositors in an
economically subordinated position.
5. maturity transformation banks borrow more on demand debt and short term debt, but
provide more long term loans. In other words, they borrow short and lend long. With a
stronger credit quality than most other borrowers, banks can do this by aggregating issues
(e.g. accepting deposits and issuing banknotes) and redemptions (e.g. withdrawals and
redemptions of banknotes), maintaining reserves of cash, investing in marketable
securities that can be readily converted to cash if needed, and raising replacement funding
as needed from various sources (e.g. wholesale cash markets and securities markets).
Law of banking
Banking law is based on a contractual analysis of the relationship between the bank (defined
above) and the customerdefined as any entity for which the bank agrees to conduct an account.
The law implies rights and obligations into this relationship as follows:
1. The bank account balance is the financial position between the bank and the customer:
when the account is in credit, the bank owes the balance to the customer; when the
account is overdrawn, the customer owes the balance to the bank.
2. The bank agrees to pay the customer's cheques up to the amount standing to the credit of
the customer's account, plus any agreed overdraft limit.
3. The bank may not pay from the customer's account without a mandate from the customer,
e.g. a cheque drawn by the customer.
13
4. The bank agrees to promptly collect the cheques deposited to the customer's account as
the customer's agent, and to credit the proceeds to the customer's account.
5. The bank has a right to combine the customer's accounts, since each account is just an
aspect of the same credit relationship.
6. The bank has a lien on cheques deposited to the customer's account, to the extent that the
customer is indebted to the bank.
7. The bank must not disclose details of transactions through the customer's account
unless the customer consents, there is a public duty to disclose, the bank's interests
require it, or the law demands it.
8. The bank must not close a customer's account without reasonable notice, since cheques
are outstanding in the ordinary course of business for several days.
These implied contractual terms may be modified by express agreement between the customer
and the bank. The statutes and regulations in force within a particular jurisdiction may also
modify the above terms and/or create new rights, obligations or limitations relevant to the bank-
customer relationship.
Some types of financial institution, such as building societies and credit unions, may be partly or
wholly exempt from bank licence requirements, and therefore regulated under separate rules.
The requirements for the issue of a bank licence vary between jurisdictions but typically include:
1. Minimum capital
2. Minimum capital ratio
3. 'Fit and Proper' requirements for the bank's controllers, owners, directors, and/or senior
officers
4. Approval of the bank's business plan as being sufficiently prudent and plausible.
Types of banks
Banks' activities can be divided into retail banking, dealing directly with individuals and small
businesses; business banking, providing services to mid-market business; corporate banking,
directed at large business entities; private banking, providing wealth management services to
14
high net worth individuals and families; and investment banking, relating to activities on the
financial markets. Most banks are profit-making, private enterprises. However, some are owned
by government, or are non-profit organizations.
Commercial bank: the term used for a normal bank to distinguish it from an investment
bank. After the Great Depression, the U.S. Congress required that banks only engage in
banking activities, whereas investment banks were limited to capital market activities.
Since the two no longer have to be under separate ownership, some use the term
"commercial bank" to refer to a bank or a division of a bank that mostly deals with
deposits and loans from corporations or large businesses.
Community Banks: locally operated financial institutions that empower employees to
make local decisions to serve their customers and the partners.
Community development banks: regulated banks that provide financial services and
credit to under-served markets or populations.
Postal savings banks: savings banks associated with national postal systems.
Private banks: banks that manage the assets of high net worth individuals.
Offshore banks: banks located in jurisdictions with low taxation and regulation. Many
offshore banks are essentially private banks.
Savings bank: in Europe, savings banks take their roots in the 19th or sometimes even
18th century. Their original objective was to provide easily accessible savings products to
all strata of the population. In some countries, savings banks were created on public
initiative; in others, socially committed individuals created foundations to put in place the
necessary infrastructure. Nowadays, European savings banks have kept their focus on
retail banking: payments, savings products, credits and insurances for individuals or
small and medium-sized enterprises. Apart from this retail focus, they also differ from
15
commercial banks by their broadly decentralised distribution network, providing local
and regional outreachand by their socially responsible approach to business and
society.
Building societies and Landesbanks: institutions that conduct retail banking.
Ethical banks: banks that prioritize the transparency of all operations and make only what
they consider to be socially-responsible investments.
Islamic banks: Banks that transact according to Islamic principles.
Investment banks "underwrite" (guarantee the sale of) stock and bond issues, trade for
their own accounts, make markets, and advise corporations on capital market activities
such as mergers and acquisitions.
Merchant banks were traditionally banks which engaged in trade finance. The modern
definition, however, refers to banks which provide capital to firms in the form of shares
rather than loans. Unlike venture capital firms, they tend not to invest in new companies.
Both combined
Islamic banks adhere to the concepts of Islamic law. This form of banking revolves
around several well-established principles based on Islamic canons. All banking activities
must avoid interest, a concept that is forbidden in Islam. Instead, the bank earns profit
(markup) and fees on the financing facilities that it extends to customers.

HISTORY
Syndicate Bank was established in 1925 in Udupi, the abode of Lord Krishna in coastal
Karnataka with a capital of Rs.8000/- by three visionaries - Sri Upendra Ananth Pai, a
businessman, Sri Vaman Kudva, an engineer and Dr.T M A Pai, a physician - who shared a
strong commitment to social welfare. Their objective was primarily to extend financial assistance
to the local weavers who were crippled by a crisis in the handloom industry through mobilising
small savings from the community. The bank collected as low as 2 annas daily at the doorsteps of
the depositors through its Agents under its Pigmy Deposit Scheme started in 1928. This scheme
is the Bank's brand equity today and the Bank collects around Rs. 2 crore per day under the
scheme.

CHAPTER-III
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
INTRODUCTION
When considering ways to motivate employees keep in mind that each individual is different and
therefore everyone is motivated by different things. While one employee may be motivated by
money another may be motivated by working with supportive coworkers. One way to find out
what motivates your employees is to discover their wants and needs. One way to do this is by
performing surveys or questionnaires. Below are several factors that can motivate employees.
Incentives- Incentivizes are one of the most common ways of motivating employees. Employee
incentives can be money, gift cards, gifts, vacation trips, ect. The best way to decide what
29
incentive to use to motivate employees is by asking them what they would like. You may be
surprised that its not always money that an employee seeks.
Responsibility- Show your employees that you trust them by giving them responsibilities.
Employees usually like having some control and making choices. It makes them feel as if they
are a necessary part of the business.
Interesting work- Performing the same tasks everyday will become boring and repetitive for
employees unless they enjoy what they do. Find out what tasks your employee is good at and
enjoys doing. Providing your employee with a task he/she enjoys can prove to be an effective
method of motivating employees.
Listen Listen to your employees concerns and take them seriously. Employees can become
more motivated when they discover that you care about their concerns and problems.
Reward Good Work- Acknowledge employees who put in the extra effort. You can have an
Employee of the Month or Certificates of Appreciation. Employees like to feel that their hard
work is being acknowledged. Even a simple Thank You can show appreciation and improve
employee morale.
Share business success- Making employees feel like they are part of a bigger team can be a
great tool for motivating employees. Provide business performance reviews to let the employees
know how the business is doing. Encourage employees to strive to achieve success and growing
figures for the business. Reward the whole team when the business reaches its goals and
beyond. You can reward them with bonuses or a pizza party. The best way to decide on a reward
is to ask the employees themselves what they want. You may think you know what employees
30
want but you dont. Pass out a survey with different reward options and find out what really
motivates your employees.
Job security- When motivating employees, job security is essential. If employees feel they
might be fired or laid off they are more likely not to put their best efforts into the job.
Promotion/ Growth- Most employees have a natural wanting to improve. Everybody has
dreams of where they wish to be in the future. If there is no goal or growth to be achieved, there
is nothing to motivate them to work harder.
Be Flexible- Dont make employees come to work when they are sick. Dont penalize them for
emergency situations. If its possible be flexible with the employees schedule. For example give
them the option of choosing the day of the week they want off. By doing this you show
employees that you care, and this will be appreciated.
Competitive salary- Though money is not always an employees main motivation, a competitive
salary can help an employee feel that they are receiving what they deserve for their job
description. If an employee is under-paid they will often go searching for other jobs that offer
competitive salaries.
Though each person has specific needs, drives, aspirations, and capabilities, at varying degrees
of intensity, people's basic needs are the same, as illustrated by Abraham Maslow in the
following model:
Self-Actualization
Ego
31
Social Needs
Safety Needs
Physiological Needs
Physiological Needs
basic physical needs: the ability to acquire food, shelter, clothing and other basics to survive
Safety Needs
a safe and non-threatening work environment, job security, safe equipment and installations
Social Needs
Ego
Self-Actualization
realizing one's dreams and potential, reaching the heights of one's gifts and talents.
It is only when these needs are met that workers are morally, emotionally, and even physically
ready to satisfy the needs of the employer and the customers.
1. Inner drives
2. Outer (external) motivators.
32
A person's inner drives push and propel him/her towards an employer, a particular job, career,
line of study, or other activity (such as travel or recreation). It is these drives that Maslow
delineates in his hierarchy of needs, and which we must understand and internalize, use as
guidelines in our efforts to help employees feel motivated.
The outer (external) motivators are the mirror image the employer or outside world offers in
response to the inner drives. In order to attract the "cream of the crop" of available workers, same
as in his/her dealings with customers, the employer not only tries to satisfy these basic needs, but
to exceed them - taking into consideration additional extraordinary needs individual workers
have.
1. Earn wages that will enable them to pay for basic necessities and additional luxuries such
as the purchase of a home, or travel
2. Save for and enjoy old age security benefits
3. Have medical and other insurance coverage
4. Acquire friends at work
5. Win recognition
6. Be acknowledged and rewarded for special efforts and contributions
7. Be able to advance in life and career-wise
8. Have opportunities for self-development
9. Improve their skills, knowledge, and know-how
10. Demonstrate and use special gifts and abilities
11. Realize their ideal(s).
1. Employment
2. Adequate pay
3. Assistance to workers for their special needs (such as child care arrangements,
transportation, flexible work schedules)
4. Job security (to the degree possible)
33
5. Clear company policies
6. Clear and organized work procedures
7. A stable, just and fair work environment
8. A safe work environment
9. Medical coverage and other benefits
10. An atmosphere of teamwork and cooperation
11. Social activities
12. Reward and recognition programs
13. Incentive programs
14. Open lines of communication (formal and informal)
15. Systematic feedback
16. Training and development programs
17. Opportunities for promotion
18. Company/ business information
19. Information on customer feedback
20. Sharing of company goals and objectives
21. Information on the market situation and industry
22. Future expectations
23. Plans for the future
24. Guidance and mentoring.
It is important that the employer discover other extraordinary needs applicants have before hiring
them and know beforehand whether he/she can satisfy those needs or not. An employee may
have:
34
Some other needs the employer can expect, for which company policies should be planned
accordingly:
If the company is in a remote location, all employees will have a need for more social
activities
Many single people look for dates and spouses at work
Some women may not be ready to work late shifts unless the employer provides
transportation back home
Some workers may have a problem with drug or alcohol abuse.
In addition to needs and drives, adult workers have expectations from their employer - they
expect:
Business owners and managers are under constant scrutiny by the people they hire. Adult
workers care beyond the salary - they care to know to whom they entrust their fate, reputation,
and security. They consider their work as a major factor that shapes their lives and the lives of
those dear to them. Hence the scrutiny. Once they feel confident that the employer and their
35
place of work is what they wished for and expected, they are ready to contribute above and
beyond "the call of duty".
Most of these needs, expectations and aspirations are unexpressed - it is up to the employer to
develop a good system of company communications, employee relations, training and
development that will lead to an environment of openness, cooperation, teamwork, and
motivation that will benefit all the parties involved.
Human beings are a resource to an organization. Like another resource they represent an
investment whose development and utilization require proper managing. There is a fundamental
trust the people are organizations most important assets.
Performance results from the interaction of physical, financial and human resource.
The first two are inanimate; they are translated into productivity only when human element is
introduced. In dealing with employees, however an intangible factor of will, violence or freedom
of choice is introduced , and workers can increase or decrease their productivity as they choose.
This human quality gives rise to need for motivation.
Motivation is one of the most important factors affecting human behavior. Motivation
not only affects other factors like perception and Learning but also affect the total performance
of an individual in organizational setting. This is the reason why managers attach great
importance to motivation in an organization.
At one time, employees were considered just another input into the production of goods
and services. What perhaps changed this way of thinking about employees was reached, referred
to as the Hawthorne studies, conducted by Elton Mayo from 1924 to 1932(Dickson, 1973). This
study found employees are not motivated solely by money and employee behavior is linked to
their attitudes (Dickson, 1973)
The Hawthorne studies began the human relations approach to management, where by
the needs and motivations of employees become the primary focus of managers (Bedeian, 1993).
36
2.1 MEANING OF MOTIVATION:
Motivation has been variously defined by scholars. Usually one or more of these words
are included inn the definition: desires, wants, aims, goals, drives, movies and incentives.
Motivation is derived from the Latin word Move on which means to move.
Human motives are internalized goals within individuals. A motive is an inner state that
energies activates, or moves and directs or channels behavior towards goals.
2.1.1 DEFINITION:
1. Motivation is the complex forces starting and keeping a person at work in the organization.
2. Motivation is the various drives within or environmental forces surrounding individual that
stimulate or attract them in a specific manner.
3. Motivation is the art of understanding motives satisfying them to direct and sustain behavior to
wards the accomplishment of organization goals.
4. Motivation is the process of operating organizational conditions which will impel employees
of any emotion or desire operation ones will and prompting or driving at it to action.
Motivation consists of the three interaction and interdependent elements of needs, drives and
goals.
Needs: These are the deficient, and create whenever there is a physiological or psychological
imbalance.
Drive or motives: These are set to alleviate needs. These are action oriented and provide an
energizing thrust toward goal accomplishment. They are the very heart of the motivation process.
Goal: Goals are any thing which will alleviate a need and reduce a drive.
37
1. Higher efficiency:- A good motivation system releases the immense talents, abilities of
employees. It converts ability to work.
2. Low absenteeism and turnover:-Motivation leads to job satisfaction and high morale due to
which lab our unrest, labor absenteeism turnover are reduced.
3. Human relations:-A high level results in harmonious relations between employer and
employees.
4. Facilitates change:-Effective motivation help to over come resistance to change and negative
attitudes on the part of employees.
Following are some of the characteristics of motivation derive from the definitions given by
various authors.
38
4. Complex process:-Motivation is a complex process; complexity emerges because of the
nature if needs a types of behavior that need attempted to satisfied those needs.
There are many needs which an individual may have and there are various ways in
Which may be classified? Needs may be natural, biological phenomenon in an individual or
these may develop over the period of time through learning. Thus, need may be grouped into 3
categories:
1. Primary need
2. Secondary need
3. General needs
1) Primary needs: These are also known as physiological, biological, basic, or unclear needs.
These needs are common in human beings through their intensity differs.
2) Secondary needs: As contrast to primary needs, these are not natural but are learned by the
individual through experience and interaction. Emergency of these needs depends in learning.
3) General needs: Through a separate classification for general needs is not always given, such a
category seems necessary because there are a number of needs which lie in the grey area between
the primary and secondary needs. In fact, there are certain needs such as need for competence,
curiosity, manipulation, affection, etc.
39
1. Positive motivation
2. Negative motivation
Positive motivation is a process of attempting to influence others to do your will through the
possibility of gain or reward. Incentive motivation is the pull mechanism.
Negative motivation or fear motivation is based force or fear. Fear causes person to act in a
certain way because they are afraid of the consequences if they dont Fear motivation is the
push mechanism.
The objective of motivation is to create condition in which people are willingly to work with
zeal, initiative, interest and enthusiasm, with a high personal and group.
Moral satisfaction with a sense of responsibility, loyalty and discipline and with pride and
confidence in a most cohesive manner so that the goal of an organization are achieved
effectively.
The job of a manager in the workplace is to get things done through employees. To do this
the manager should be able to motive employees. To understand motivation one must
understand human nature itself.
Human nature can be very simple, yet very complex too. An understanding and appreciation
of this is a prerequisite of effective employee motivation in the workplace and therefore
effective management and leadership.
40
Ability in turn depends on education, experience and training and its improvement is a slow
and long process. On the other hand it can be improved quickly. As a guidelines, there are
broadly 7 strategies for motivation.
Positive reinforcement
Restructuring job
41
1. Inner drives
A persons inner drives push and propel him/her towards an employer, a particular job, career,
line of study, or other activity. The outer(external)motivators are the mirror image the employer
or outside world offers in response to the inner drives. In order to attract the cream of the crop
of available workers, same as in his/her dealings with customers, the employer not only tries to
satisfy these basic needs individual workers have.
1. Earn wages that will enable them to pay for basic necessities and additional luxuries such
as the purchase of a home, or travel
5. win recognition
42
1. Employment
2. Adequate pay
4. Job security
43
Heavy financial responsibilities which he/she can meet only by working at 2 jobs,
leading to exhaustion, sick leave, a deficient work performance
In addition to needs and drives, adult workers have expectations from their
employer-they expect:
Business integrity
Two-way communication
Positive discipline
Company survival
Company growth
Most of these needs, expectations and aspirations are unexpressed-it is up to the employer to
develop a good system of company communications, employee relations, Motivationthat will
lead to an environment of openness, cooperation, team work, and motivation that will benefit all
the parties involved.
44
2.8 MOTIVATIONAL METHODS:
Team unite and work together when they identify a common purpose whether the aim is the
tallest tower made out of newspaper, or a game of rounders on the park. Competition in teams or
groups creates teams and ignites team effort
Games and activities provide a perfect vehicle for explaining the Motivationprocess (train the
trainer for example) to managers, team leaders and trainers.
Everyone is different. Taking part in new games and activities outside of the work situation
illustrates peoples different strengths and working style preferences. Mutual respect develops
when people see skills and attributes in others that they didnt know existed.
Introducing people, staff or employees to new experiences opens their minds to new avenues of
personal development, and emphasizes the opportunity foe continuous learning that is available
to us all.
45
To communicate we must understanding the other person. Empathy and intuitive skills are right-
side brain of the brain, which we use when we communicate and understand others. Team
activities and games promote communications and better mutual understanding-essential for
good organizational performance.
"In respect of banking it seems we are behind the times. We are like some old fashioned sailing
ship, divided by solid wooden bulkheads into separate and cumbersome compartments."
