Employee Motivation: A Constant Challenge

Abstract

Motivation is a keyinstrument that is often under-utilized by managers in today’s workplace. To produce the best results for business in the most efficient and effective fashion, managers use motivation. Motivation is a prime tool to inspire people to work, both individually and in groups in the workplace. This paper will help at creating a progressive motivational atmosphere for managers to get an effective workforce. Employee motivation has always been a challenge for leaders and managers. Demotivated employees exit the organization if given the opportunity and produce low quality work, these employees are likely to make little or no effort in their jobs, avoid the workplace as much as possible thereby skipping their responsibilities. Contrariwise, employees who feel motivated to work are likely to be determined, resourceful and dynamic, turning out high quality with productivity that they willingly undertake. Motivation varies in different people. In existing theories, motivation arises, out of needs, values, objectives, intentions, and expectation. Motivating in an effective manner enables negative or difficult tasks to be imparted without creating clashes or ravaging trust. For increase in productivity, efficiency and job satisfaction within the workplace, motivation is de facto crucial.
