IMPACT OF EMPLOYEE MOTIVATION ON ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE. A SCOPING REVIEW PAPER FOR PUBLIC SECTOR

Abstract

The scoping review study aimed to review the different studies about employee motivation and its impact on organizational performance. Scoping review research was based on the Arksey and O’Malley framework. The systematic searches were mostly conducted in ProQuest, Web of Science, Statista, and Google Scholar for studies published in the period between 2010 and 2020. The review focused on how employee motivation, through its different aspects such as rewards & recognition, management styles, workplace environment, and employee characteristics, influences organizational performance. The review showed that, to a greater extent, employee motivation is much linked to organizational performance. However, there are additional factors that influence the ability of an employee to perform efficiently. The theoretical and editorial literature reviewed in this study indicated that the different aspects of motivation are essential to employees’ level of job performance.
