    History

    In 1957, the search for oil by Pak Stanvac, an Esso/Mobil joint venture led to thediscovery of the Mari Gas field near Daharkia small, remote area in Upper Sindh

    province at the time. Esso proposed the establishment of a urea plant in that areawhich led to a fertilizer plant agreement signed in 1964. In the subsequent year,

    Esso Pakistan Fertilizer Company Limited was incorporated, with 75% of theshares owned by Esso and 25% by the general public.

    The construction of a urea plant commenced at Daharki in 1966 and productionbegan in 1968. At US $43 million with an annual production capacity of 173,000tons, it was the single largest foreign investment by a multinational corporation inPakistan at the time.

    A full-fledged marketing organization was established which undertook agronomicprograms to educate the farmers of Pakistan. As the nations first fertilizer brand,Engro (then Esso) helped modernize traditional farming practices to boost farmyields, directly impacting the quality of life not only for farmers and their families,

    but for the nation at large. As a result of these efforts, consumption of fertilizersincreased in Pakistan, paving the way for the Companys branded urea calledEngro, an acronym for Energy for Growth.

    Engro Chemical Pakistan Limited then started a journey of venturing into othersectors including foods, energy, industrial control and automation, PVC resinmanufacturing and marketing, and chemical terminal and storage.

    In 2009 plans were announced of demerging the fertilizer business into anindependent operating company. The expansion and growth in the companynecessitated a change in the way the company operated and conducted business.Keeping in view the operations of multi category businesses, expansion strategyand growth vision, the management decided that the various businesses would be

    better served if the Company was converted to a holding company. As a result itwas decided to demerge the fertilizer business and establish a holding companystructure to manage the affairs of various businesses.

    Engro Fertilizers Limited was incorporated in June 2009 to manage the fertilizerbusiness post demerger. The demerger required the approval of the High Court ofSindh, which was granted on December 9, 2009 after obtaining the requisite

    approvals from the creditors and shareholders of the Company. The demergerbecame effective from January 1, 2010. Consequently, all fertilizer business assetsand liabilities have been transferred to Engro Fertilizers Limited against the issueof shares to the Company.

    To reflect the change in the scope of mandate and scale of operations, EngroChemical Pakistan Limited was renamed as Engro Corporation Limited with

    effect from January 1, 2010. Engro Corp, as the holding company is responsiblefor the long term vision of the company, overseeing the performance of thesubsidiaries and affiliates, allocation of capital, management of talent, leadership

    development, HR guiding policies, leadership role in public relations and CSRactivities, control structures, legal and IT support.

    Engro Corp will maintain a lean structure with a focused scope, allowingmaximum empowerment to the subsidiaries and affiliates to drive the operations oftheir respective organizations.

    CHAPTER 2: Literature Review

    Several studies focusing on organizational behavior have given extensiveconsideration motivation, employee job satisfaction and organizational

    performance. All these variables are interdependent on each other. Simply theassociation between motivation, job satisfaction and organizational performancecan be viewed as:

    Motivation can be elaborated as what individuals strive to achieve better. However,not everyone gets motivated by the identical factors. Someone may get motivated

    by or satisfied by achieving higher authority and responsibility where some otherperson merely needs flexibility in work schedule, or someone may be motivated bysense of accomplishment. When we talk about motivation this only effects peoplewhen they are ready for it and when it is applied the best way suitable for them.

    That is, when it feeds the needs of the person to be motivated. Still the motivationwill not have effect on individuals if they are unable to perform a task or if theyar3e not willing for certain tasks. Here comes the role of leadership as leaders haveto decide what foundation requirements are there to apply motivation and what sortof motivation is needed. Motivation is going to work if the right person withsuitable skills is made responsible for the job or otherwise it will be wastage ofresources and time, and may lead to an opposite side that creates an incapable andnon-willing job performer.

    The term motivation is derived from the Latin term movere, which means tomove (Baron, Henley, McGibbon and McCarthy, 2002). Motivation refers to the

    reasons underlying behavior (Guay et al., 2010). Campbell and Pritchard (1976,p.78) defined motivation as a label for the determinants of the choice to initiate

    effort on a certain task, the choice to expend a certain amount of effort, and thechoice to persist in expending effort over a period of time. Motivation, therefore,

    closes the satisfaction-performance loop, and has to do with a set of interrelatedfactors that explain an individuals behavior, holding constant the variablescontrolled or influenced by management, as well as by individual skills, abilitiesand knowledge (Campbell & Pritchard, 1976). Spector (2003) saw motivation as

    an internal state that induces a person to engage in particular behaviors, and heldthat motivation may be viewed from two angles. To Nelson and Quick (2003),motivation is the process of arousing and sustaining goal-directed behavior. Gouws(1995) defined motivation as an inner wish or urge that originates with anindividual, either consciously or unconsciously, to complete a task successfully

    because it is enjoyable, and not necessarily for what will be received in return. Inan age where retaining talent is crucial to their prosperity, companies realize that

  • 7/24/2019 Motivation at Olpers Pakistan

    10/22

    10

    they need to do a better job at letting employees know that their work matters, bystepping up employee recognition (Clarke, 2001).

    By reviewing different articles and search engines on the above general researchquestion the following statements have been observed:

    Salary motivates employees to work more effectively

    Rynes, Colbert, and Brown (2002) presented the following statement to 959members of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM): Surveys that

    directly ask employees how important pay is to them are likely to overestimatepays true importance in actual decisions (p. 158). If our interpretation (and that

    of Rynes et al.) of the research literature is accurate, then the correct true-falseanswer to the above statement is false. In other words, people are more likely to

    underreport than to over report the importance of pay as a motivational factor inmost situations. Put another way, research suggests that pay is much moreimportant in peoples actual choices and behaviors than itis in their self-reports ofwhat motivates them, much like the cartoon viewers mentioned in the quote above.Yet, only 35% of the respondents in the Rynes et al. study answered in a wayconsistent with research findings.

    Satisfaction leads to motivation

    The relationship between job satisfaction and motivation at work has been one ofthe widely researched areas in the field of management in relation to different

    professions, but in Pakistan very few studies have explored this concept especiallyon banking sectors employees. According to Khan (1997), in the current businessenvironment, organizations in all industries are experiencing rapid change, whichis accelerating at an enormous speed. Finck et al. (1998) also stated that companiesmust recognize that the human factor is becoming much more important fororganizational survival, and that business excellence will only be achieved whenemployees are excited and motivated by their work. In addition, difficultcircumstances, such as violence, tragedy, fear, and job insecurity create severe

    stress in employees and result in reduced workplace performance (Klein, 2002).According to Watson (1994) business has come to realize that a motivated andsatisfied workforce can deliver powerfully to the bottom line. Since employeeperformance is a joint function of ability and motivation, one of managements

    primary tasks, therefore, is to motivate employees to perform to the best of theirability (Moorhead & Griffin, 1998).

    Recognition can help motivate employees

    Motivation through recognition can and does work. It will provide your companywith many benefits and advantages, some of which cannot be measured on atangible scale. Recognition can be an incredibly powerful tool to foster a close-knitteam environment, encourage employees to achieve high levels of productivity,increase your employee retention rates, and reduce incidental expenses relating toinattentiveness to job duties that result in dissatisfied customers, safety issues, oron-the-job downtime.

    Recognizing your employees for the work they do also costs you nothing at allother than your time and effort, and if they are working that hard for you, surelyyou can demonstrate your appreciation in ways that let them know you are awareof their efforts.

    Amabile et al. (1994) concluded that employee who reveals high job satisfaction ismotivated by rewards, and rewards supported work engagement(VandenbergheandTrembley 2008). According to Zainis (2009) satisfaction of

    rewards in public and private sector employee has been established certainlyassociated with job satisfaction. Furthermore, Zaini et al. (2009) and Chew (2005)

    preceding research found that job satisfaction is associated with the monetarycompensation (pay, promotion, and bonus) and non-monetary compensation isoneof the most important explanatory variables in both sectors (A. Furham et al.2009). William James said, "The deepest desire in human nature is to be

    appreciated." It does not matter how much you pay someone, everyone want toknow that their efforts are being seen and appreciated, especially by their manager.Don't just send them a thank you e-mail - that just means you care enough to hit the"Enter" key. If you really want to thank someone buy them a real "Thank You"card and describe how their behavior and performance has added value to the teamand organization.

    new skills. Also show them how you can help them achieve theirorganizational goals.

    Use performance as the basis for recognizing, rewarding, and promotingpeople. For example, an employee performing better gets a better salary thanone who is not.

    Make sure that enough time is being given to employees and theirsuggestions are being listened to.

    Always take out time for celebrations if the company, a department or someindividuals succeed in achievement of a major goal as this will boost themorale of employees.

    Make sure that team and morale-building meetings and activities are held atleast monthly.

    Rather than an autocratic environment, create an environment which istrusting, fun and open to new ideas.
