Motivation in the WorkplaceMotivation in the WorkplaceAccording to Stephen P. Robins and Timothy A. Judge (2009), motivation may be defined as “the processes that account for an individuals intensity, direction and persistence of effort toward attaining a goal”. Hence, motivation is an important factor in every individuals life because no matter the source, motivation leads to positive lifestyle and it will increase employees efficiency and effectiveness within the workplace. Moreover, it should be clearly understood that the task of every manger in the workplace should be mainly to motivate their internal customers who are the staff, as managers need to get things done through them in order to deliver high quality to external customers. However, although it seems like a very easy term which may be applied by just increasing employees benefits, it has been clearly noted that not every employee is motivated by the same factors. Hence, in spite of enormous research, the concept of motivation is yet not well comprehended and is sadly practiced as managers fail or simple do not bother to understand the “human nature itself”. An understanding of the human nature should be a prerequisite that should be followed by every manager. Researchers have shown that well motivated employees are more likely to be productive and creative. Hence, it contributes to the reduction of turnover in the workplace which may be defined as “the voluntary and involuntary permanent withdrawal from an organization” (Stephen P. Robins and Timothy A. Judge, 2009, pg 29). This paper examines what motivates employees in the workplace and studies how companies can best satisfy their employees needs. In addition, it will also discuss the critical role that the motivation concept plays in the workplace and it will also provide some recommendations to increase incentives at the work place in order to create a motivated environment and will discuss the two types of incentives that may be used by managers.
Significance of motivation in the workplaceAs previously discussed, motivation, plays an immense role within an organization. Motivation is important in order to be able to attain the organizations goals and to accomplish long and short term objectives (Sabah Karimi, 2010). Therefore, it is of highly significance that managers ensure that employees values regarding the organization are appropriately aligned with the organizations mission and vision statements. This will help to create motivation as employees will be identified with the companys values. Hence, highly motivated employees will lead to higher productivity within departments or the company overall, improve work quality as employees would feel as someone care about them. I am personally driven by self –development and self-fulfilment which turns into better results in my work.

How can an employee be motivated? Well, for that reason (or reasons that motivate you), we have to make sure the organization is providing these resources to employees and to provide them with the most motivation. Since some of the organizations do not provide them, it makes sense to make sure that you provide them the best experience and you also give them the necessary resources to ensure that they achieve such goals. So, the important thing is to provide what you are given with the highest and fastest performance of your work. This can mean giving the employees better tools and equipment, equipment to perform better tasks and a work area to take care of such needs. You know, because as our company’s management makes these decisions, these employees need to be provided with a professional and appropriate level of support and support.

How are employees paid?
It’s highly important to understand why there are workers with a “work problem.” It’s probably fair to say that these workers are not motivated by a sense of what they’re doing and being well received, but rather by an understanding of what their roles and responsibilities are as individuals. Thus, we should be very very wary in the situation of a worker with a work problem. As a result, they deserve respect for their abilities and their contribution. Therefore, they must be rewarded with high pay. In some cases even it is possible for workers to be paid above the poverty level. In which case, I believe many workers in our workforce will benefit and be well compensated for their work. Therefore, we’re going to be very cautious in the circumstances.

It is very important to understand that employers have more responsibilities than employees. In the cases of employees, all tasks do not have to be done by one employee. If there are no workers, there is no such thing as job management. Indeed, one could say that job management is the job where someone is the only one performing their job. What this means for me is that the best-paid workers are managers and those who are highly motivated are managers. This includes the managers who are performing their duties best to enable employee’s to perform their full duties and to support and increase employees. If a person is motivated to perform a task at a higher level, with a higher quality, it is possible that they may be willing to pay more for the job management. In fact, this is the case when more than one person performs a job at the same time, as a company manager.

How is paying employees motivated?
We have often seen those who are motivated to get ahead in government, finance, or technology be rewarded with higher pay. That’s partly because they are motivated to get better opportunities. That means that they will seek to work for lower prices which is understandable but when companies pay high wages, it is an opportunity where they are paid for their contributions and they receive their wages from the employer. However, as far as our workers are concerned, they are not going to get to enjoy higher wages from companies because not all the benefits are shared between workers and employers. I can understand why employers are considering raising hourly wages to cover a higher minimum wage. That is a point that I will not make with regards to any aspect of our management or for the employees that are under pressure to deliver this higher price, therefore. On the contrary, many people simply can’t pay more and will stay in the
