CHAPTER - II

REWIEW OF LITERATURE

Employee Motivation-The 8 BasicsBy Martin Hawort

Building a team of motivated people in your business is vital to get the very best

results, but so many managers focus on the 'ra-ra-ra', rather than the important things -

the things that make people feel comfortable in their working environment. Here are

eight that you might want to have a think about:

1. TheWeather

Is it too hot, or too cold. Your people need an environment which is, like

Goldilocks said, 'Just right'. So is the office too stuffy in summer? Or too icy

in winter? Is it draughty? Do people get wet when accepting deliveries,

because the outside roof leaks? Literally make sure that external factors are as

they wish.

2. TheBreaks

Sometimes working in a day-to-day job can get boring and exhausting. So

people need to know when their breaks are and that they wil be able to take

them - it's not that complicated. Yet often, they just aren't able to have this

basic courtesy in place. Planning and caring for your people's needs is vital.

It's what you would want for yourself, isn't it?

3. Holidays

And vacations/holidays are important too - some would say it's the most

important thing on the working year calendar. So enable this to happen, when

they need to know, so that they can plan their invaluable time away from the

business and refresh.

Page 17: A STUDY ON EMPLOYEE’S MOTIVATION IN

4. BeingHeard

You people need you to listen to then and hear them - really hear what they

are saying and respond with action and/or acknowledgement. Be out there

creating good, open relationships with your people and take in what they say -

what's important to them - and deliver solutions to make conditions great.

5. AchievableGoals

By being really, really clear about what you expect from your employees, you

will set the scene for committed staff. Through knowing exactly what their

performance should look like to be judged excellent, by you, gets buy-in, big-

time. So be clear, give them the resources to achieve success and they will be

well onside.

6. BeingThanked

As they do a good job for you each day - tell them. It's easy - just say 'Thank

You'! Appreciation for achieving success, especially when it's from the boss is

so important. So recognising excellent performance, even for small tasks, cost

nothing and takes but a moment - worth building into your day job activities -

every day!

7. Challenge

People like to do new things, to explore, to seek out and utilise their potential,

Sometimes this means they will have to be 'stretched' in what they do. With a

helping hand, to support, coach and grow the skills of your people, you are

setting in place a keen, ambitious and ready-for-the-next-experience star in the

making. So find new ways to develop them.

8. Security

In today's business climate, it isn't always easy to build the best future

consistently - things change too much, too quickly. But you can go some way

to ensure that it is a safe place to be. With this level of security, your people

will loosen up and feel capable of being with you, rather than against. It is a

measure of your own leadership as to how well this works.

Page 18: A STUDY ON EMPLOYEE’S MOTIVATION IN

Motivation theories

Traditional theory 'X'

This can best be ascribed to Sigmund Freud who was no lover of people, and

was far from being optimistic. Theory X assumes that people are lazy; they hate work

to the extent that they avoid it; they have no ambition, take no initiative and avoid

taking any responsibility; all they want is security, and to get them to do any work,

they must be rewarded, coerced, intimidated and punished. This is the so-called 'stick

and carrot' philosophy of management. If this theory were valid, managers will have

to constantly police their staff, whom they cannot trust and who will refuse to

cooperate. In such an oppressive and frustrating atmosphere, both for the manager and

the managed, there is no possibility of any achievement or any creative work. But

fortunately, as we know, this is not the case.

Theory 'Y' - Douglas McGregor

This is in sharp contrast to theory 'X'. McGregor believed that people want to

learn and that work is their natural activity to the extent that they develop self-

discipline and self-development. They see their reward not so much in cash payments

as in the freedom to do difficult and challenging work by themselves. The managers

job is to 'dovetail' the human wish for self-development into the organizations need

for maximum productive efficiency. The basic objectives of both are therefore met

and with imagination and sincerity, the enormous potential can be tapped.

Does it sound too good to be true? It could be construed, by some, that Theory

'Y' management is soft and slack. This is not true and the proof is in the 'pudding', for

it has already proved its worth in the USA and elsewhere. For best results, the persons

must be carefully selected to form a homogeneous group. A good leader of such a

group may conveniently 'absent' from group meetings so they can discuss the matters

freely and help select and 'groom' a new leader. The leader does no longer hanker

after power, lets people develop freely, and may even (it is hoped) enjoy watching the

development and actualization of people, as if, by themselves. Everyone, and most of

all the organization, gains as a result.

The Ins and Outs on Motivation when you're Mad

Motivation comes in many different forms. Motivation is the reason why people do

what they do. Without motivation, many chores and tasks would be difficult to

accomplish or achieve. Some people may be motivated from within and outside

sources to aid them in achieve their goals will not be needed. For others, things like

rewards, praise and benefits are the reasons why they are motivated in the first place.

Anger is one emotion that can also aid people in becoming more motivated when it is

in a positive way. .

For many people, getting mad is the start of motivation. For example, if you are on a

diet and gain weight instead of losing, you feel angry. This anger can often motivate

you to try harder and work more to accomplish your goals. If you failed to get a job

you really wanted, you may feel angry enough to do something about it, such as

getting a better education. Anger can be either good or bad for motivation.

When someone is motivated to make changes or to do something because he or she is

mad, it can cause drastic changes. Everyone experiences anger in their home lives, at

work, and even on the roads driving in the car. When you are able to understand your

anger and the anger of others, you may be able to channel that anger into something

positive. Anger is a powerful emotion and with that energy, you can use it

productively. It could even be possible to help motivate others when theareanger. .

With the right focus and energy, it is possible to use anger to handle conflict

productively, recognize what angers you and why and use that for motivation. Anger

can make it very difficult for people to stay happy. It can also make marriages and

family life miserable. When people harbor anger, it can destroy every kind of

relationship in a person's life. In addition, anger leads to stress. When you have

learned to turn that anger into beneficial motivation, you can break the

Page 20: A STUDY ON EMPLOYEE’S MOTIVATION IN

The first step in turning your anger into positive motivation, it is important to

understand why you are angry. When you understand the source of your anger you

can turn that into positive energy. For example, if you are angry because you cannot

lose five pounds, you can use that to motivate yourself into trying harder, eating right

or even exercising more. Anger alone will not help you process information

efficiently. It will also prevent you from realizing the real reason why you are mad.

As soon as you understand that, you can work to make a difference in your own .

The next step in turning your emotions into motivation is to stay focused. You will

need to remember why you feel upset and set goals to help you achieve your goals.

When people use their anger as positive motivation, they also need to remember what

their initials goals are. This is especially important when tackling a long-term goal

such as cleaning out a house or when you want to stop smoking. It is often beneficial

to make a list of goals and keep them handy when you are feeling frustrated. Marking

off your small achievements on your list can help you actually see what you have

accomplished over a period of time. Many goals will take a long time to accomplish

so it is important to not become frustrated and take your time when you feel

motivated.

One thing to remember when you are angry is to use your energy for positive

motivation. It best to stop and think about any decision you will make when you are

mad. Many bad choices are made when people feel upset or angry. The goal to using

your anger as motivation is to find positive ways to channel that energy. When people

become angry and act on the spur of the Motivation comes in many forms and when

you feel strong emotions, you can often motivate yourself.  Using anger to benefit

yourself when you need motivation can help you let go of anger and benefit you life

in more ways than one.

Five Simple Techniques to Keep You Motivated to Achieve Your Dream

Everyone sets goals for themselves. Every person has dreams, perhaps to get in

shape, earn more income, spend more time with the family, or go on a big vacation.

Dreams and goals are an aspect of every person's life. Without them, we would have

nothing to look forward to, and have no motivation. There are ways to help keep

yourself motivated to achieve your dreams,

Motivation is why we do what we do. It is what keeps us working at accomplishing

tasks in order to reach our goals and it prompts us daily to work towards that

destination. Each person is motivated for different reasons, even if they have the same

goal in sight. For people who are intrinsically motivated, they have the power from

within to make changes and work towards their goals. They do not rely on outside

forces to help them achieve their dreams. Others are motivated by extrinsic reasons.

These are people who look to outside forces for the motivation to help them achieve

their goals. It could be money, praise or other rewards. Most people are motivated by

a combination of the two. The way to accomplish your goals is to find what motivates

you and use

The first technique needed to make your dreams come true is to set goals for yourself.

If you jot down the steps you feel are needed to achieve the end result, it will be

easier for you to take those steps one at a time. Visualize your goal through writing or

by pictures. If you want to lose weight, use a journal to write down each step you will

take every day to bring about that result. Find a picture of an outfit or a bathing suit

you want to be able to get into, and mentally picture yourself in it. This technique can

be used to accomplish even smaller goals, such as cleaning out a closet. Write down

the steps you need to take and cross one or two small steps off your list every day.

Find a picture of the way your want your closet to look when you are finished and

hang it where you can't miss it. Visualizing your goal will keep your mind clearly

focused on what you want to accomplish and will help keep you motivated without

bogging you down.

Page 22: A STUDY ON EMPLOYEE’S MOTIVATION IN

Next, enlist the support of others to help you fulfill your dreams. Tell everyone

around you what you want to achieve and surround yourself with positive people that

can encourage you every day to reach your goal. If you want to quit smoking, talk to

others that have successfully done so, and they can help you through the roughest

times. Stay away from those that can pull you down, or encourage Another technique

you can call on in order to accomplish your goals is to reward yourself. A reward

down the line can rev up almost anyone's motivation to work on a task. When you

have cleaned out that closet, reward yourself by buying a nice storage system for the

closet. You can also help others as a reward. Once you've lost weight, give those

clothes you won't be using to a shelter. Or, when you finally stop smoking, use that

money you would have bought cigarettes with, and start a savings account for your

kids. You will feel motivated by rewarding yourself and others and know that you

have helped yourself and those around you in the process.

You can also help yourself achieve your goals by setting up a timetable for

accomplishing the necessary tasks along the way. For long-term goals, you may not

be able to accomplish them quickly. Some achievements take weeks or months. Give

yourself a realistic time frame to accomplish the necessary steps to your goal, and

work a little each day toward the end result. Mark off every step on your calendar that

brings you closer to your goal so you can monitor your accomplishments.

Finally, when you are working hard to accomplish your dreams, you can stay

motivated by keeping your expectations realistic. Accept the fact that you are bound

to have a few setbacks and try not to worry about a few bumps in the road. Achieving

your goals can be difficult, and if you get frustrated with setbacks, you are more

likely to give up. Instead of doing that, give yourself a break, literally. Promise

yourself you'll get back to working on your goals and do not beat yourself up if you

have one bad day. Stay motivated and just vow to pick up the pieces and start all over

again the next day.

FAQ ABOUT EMPLOYEE MOTIVATION

Page 23: A STUDY ON EMPLOYEE’S MOTIVATION IN

Written by Shelly B.   

Friday, 15 September 2006

The success of your company depends on the people who work for you. By

working hard and exhibiting all their talents, your employees play a critical part in

keeping your customers satisfied. This is where employee motivation is critical. It

is the boss's responsibility to motivate employees which in turn will allow them an

overall better outlook on their job and will encourage them to strive to do their

jobs to the best of their ability.

One of the hardest and most important things that a employer can do is to hang on

to good employees, not just manage them. Motivation is a key aspect in keeping

employees happy and to creating a positive work environment. The ways to

motivate your employees will differ depending on who you ask, there are so many

viewpoints that are all different and the majority of the answers are right ones. A

manager should realize the there are many ways that one can be motivated and be

open to suggestions about how to do this. Considering each person is different, it

makes sense that the ways in which a person is motivated will differ also. One

mistake that is commonly made when trying to broaden employee motivation is to

over-do it. Do not distribute unearned praise to employees since this can prompt

other employees to feel negatively about their own performance.

Many may believe that motivation is a matter of giving gifts or verbal praise.

Some may even think that a raise is a way of motivating employees. While these

things are important, there is much more to motivation. There are several ways to

motivate an employee that are genuine and deserved. Giving an employee a pat on

the back, or mentioning their achievements in a memo or letter are good ways to

motivate. The key is to know your employees well enough to give them what they

really yearn for. It could be time off, a vacation, a raise, or even just some simple

praise.

Ultimately, these types of motivation will result in a better quality of work from

Page 24: A STUDY ON EMPLOYEE’S MOTIVATION IN

your employees as well as a better working relationship between you both. Not to

mention a better outlook on the job through the eyes of the employee himself. All

of these things will also lead to better customer relationships, since a happy

employee tends to make a customer feel more welcome and appreciated. This will

lead to higher sales, which is the ultimate goal in any business

A person can benefit from motivation in so many ways. Motivation will assist to

achieve personal goals or possibly goals set by you, the manager. There are times

when goals can appear unattainable. This is when the right employee motivation

given some recreation in their job so their work can be lessened so that they can

perform and get interest in their job.
