Introduction of Motivation

Hunter et al., ( 1990) found that the difference in value  - added discretionary performance between  “ Superior” and  “ Standard “ performers was 19 %  it was 48% highly complex Jobs.  In fact it is much more necessary to appreciate how motivation working order to motivate people and further more Motivation concerned with the strength and direction of behavior and the factors that influence people to behave in certain ways.

Three components of motivation. Are Arnold et al., (1991)

1.    Direction – What a person trying to do

2.    Effort – How hard a person is trying

3.    Persistence – How long a person’s keeps on trying

Motivating other people is about getting them to move in the direction you want them to go in order to achieve a result.  Motivation can be described has goal – directed behavior. Well – motivated people engage in discretionary behavior.

Types of motivation

There are two types of motivational approaches called intrinsic motivation and    [M1] extrinsic motivation.

Intrinsic motivation

Intrinsic motivation can arise from the self- general factors that influence people’s behavior. It is not created by external incentives.  It can take from motivation by the work itself Deci and Ryan (1985) suggested. That intrinsic motivation is based on the needs to be competent and self- determining.

 

 

Extrinsic motivation

Extrinsic motivation occurs when things are done to or for people to motivate them.  These Include rewards, such as incentives, increased pay, praise, or promotion;   and punishments.

Issues in relation to motivation

Keeping employees motivated and engaged can help boost morale, reduce turnover and create a more dynamic and profitable operation.  While different things motivation different people, there are several demotivating practices that can negatively impact your business. Recognizing and correcting these issues can help improve your organization.

Conclusion

In the current world, things are changing than ever before, as a result of it some organizations fail in achieving desired goals due to lack of motivational approach towards the employees in order to make them positive to fit the changing environment.
