The Effect of Motivation Employees
Productivity
Employees
who are motivated are more likely to be productive than those who are not. Most
businesses go to great lengths to motivate their employees, but this is usually
easier said than done
1) Employees who are motivated are more productive
If an
employee is satisfied and happy, he or she will do his or her work in a very
impressive manner, and the outcome will be positive; on the other hand, a
motivated employee will motivate other employees in the office
2) Expectations for decision-making and practicality
It is
critical to involve employees in decision-making while also setting realistic
expectations
3) Flexibility, Work Environment, and Job Description
Employee
motivation and satisfaction are greatly increased when an employee does the
right job for his personality and skill set and performs well on the job. To
maintain a high level of employee motivation, a safe and non-threatening work
environment is required. Flexible human resource policies, flexible time, work
from home, and childcare are also likely to result in happier and more
motivated employees
4) Pay and Benefits
It is
simple to keep employees motivated with good benefits. It is more difficult to
draw the line between generous benefits that motivate all employees and raises
and larger salaries that retain and attract the best workers and keep them
happy and motivated to work for you
5) Corporate Culture
Creating
a positive and employee-friendly company culture is an excellent motivator

A great blog article Farhan, while I agree that motivated employees are more productive in job performance, motivating the employees adequately becomes a challenge. ‘You can’t coerce motivation but you can, and should, foster it’ (Podmoroff, 2016). When someone lacks ‘willingness’ the whole purpose of motivation becomes meaningless. Motivation comes within a person and therefore, it makes sense to encourage the person to bring it out.
ReplyDeleteAgree with you Afzal & add more further Motivation is an important factor that encourages people to give their best effort and contributes to the achievement of large business goals (Jain, et al., 2019) Positive inspiration will increase workers' output, whereas negative inspiration will decrease their output (Jain, et al., 2019) Motivation is an important factor in the work force for executives (Jain, et al., 2019)
DeleteAgreed. Job satisfaction and motivation requirements are essential in the workplace, especially in the twenty-first century as workers have learned more about their rights at work through education. The degree to which employees of an organization are satisfied is influenced by both internal and external influences, according to Fredrick Hertzberg's job satisfaction model. These include the organization's organizational structure, organizational culture, and relevant internal politics (Mullins, 2005).
ReplyDeleteAgree with you & in another way Job satisfaction has always been a key variable of interest to all managers in a global setting (Zadran, et al., 2014) Today, almost all managers believe that job satisfaction should be given special consideration because it is an employee's satisfaction with his or her job that drives him or her to develop an attitude that is linked to organizational outcomes (Saari and Judge 2004) (Zadran, et al., 2014) They believe that job performance is determined by how satisfied their employees are (Shore and Martin 1989) (Zadran, et al., 2014) Researchers are thus looking for what specific attitude an employee develops when he or she is satisfied with his or her job, which leads to an organization performing better (Zadran, et al., 2014)
DeleteResearchers are agreeing on individuals’ motivations start with cognitive recognition of a desire that is not present at the time the individual noticed, followed by mental desire to achieve something, thus following by physical actions to obtain the desire. In early years Whiseand and Rush (1988) explained motivation as the readiness of an individual to do something and habituated by actions to fulfill the needs. Later Wregner and Miller (2003) described motivation as something that energized individuals to take action and which is concerned with the choices the individual makes as part of his or her goal-oriented behaviour.
ReplyDeleteAgree with you & add furthermore Motivation is an important factor that encourages people to give their best effort and contributes to the achievement of large business goals (Jain, et al., 2019) Positive inspiration will increase workers' output, whereas negative inspiration will decrease their output (Jain, et al., 2019) Motivation is an important factor in the work force for executives (Jain, et al., 2019)
DeleteIt's not just the salary which triggers the employees to work, there are so many other factors which will lead to proper work and increased productivity. Employee motivation is one among that. Motivation will improve the self confidence. Higher the self confidence, higher the results.
ReplyDeleteAnd also, Uday training is both focused on and evaluated against an individual's current job; training refers to bridging the gap between current performance and desired performance (Garavan, 1997) (Oluwaseun, 2018)

ReplyDeletegood article farhan, If a psychological or motivational lesson involved an immediate experience of what was being conceptually taught, it was more likely to be retained (Goleman, 1995)
ReplyDeleteA variety of factors motivate an employee, determining what is most valuable and important to the employee. As a rule, this is a combination of factors that, when combined, form a map or set of employee motivators. These factors are classified as external and internal (Jain, et al., 2019)
DeleteGreat Article Farhan. Employees are more likely to be satisfied if there’s respectful treatment at all levels, competitive compensation, excellent benefits, job security, and established trust. Further Motivation is important to level up dedication to the workers who always leads to increased productivity's necessary for employee motivation in the organization to be strengthened to increase the performance (Srivastava and Barmola, 2011).
ReplyDeleteAgree with you inshaff & Job satisfaction can boost intrinsic motivation design. Katz (1964) proposed that jobs be in themselves provide enough variety, complexity, and challenge and skill to engage the participants' abilities worker (Armstrong, 2014)
DeleteAgreed Frahan. Motivated workers do better at their jobs. Further, Global business environments are rapidly evolving, and firms who can adapt to these changes will be the ones to survive. Organizations must develop methods to withstand the intense competition, and those that succeed will be able to endure longer than their competitors. Managing employee turnover that may result from the migration of many industrial workers is one of the biggest difficulties that organizations confront today. This may be the result of their lack of motivation and dedication to the company; in light of this, the study of motivation and its connection to job satisfaction is crucial (Prof. S. K. Singh & Vivek Tiwari, 2011).
ReplyDeleteAnd also, motivation is an important factor that encourages people to give their best effort and contributes to the achievement of large business goals (Jain, et al., 2019) Positive inspiration will increase workers' output, whereas negative inspiration will decrease their output (Jain, et al., 2019) Motivation is an important factor in the work force for executives (Jain, et al., 2019)
DeleteAgreed with the shared points. Apart from that, given the significance of employee motivation, a study was conducted in the Afghan province of Nangarhar to determine whether workers' perceptions of compensation were accurate. According to the study case, randomly obtained from 350 employees of distinct private and public organizations through a five-Likert scale adapted questionnaire. To obtain consistent study results, the ordinary least square econometric assessment method was used. The results show that rewards have positive and statistically significant impacts on the motivation of employees. Further found the impact on employee motivation is positive on financial and non-financial benefits and strongly recommends both private and public organizations to motivate their employees through compensations (Muneeb and Ahmad, 2020).
ReplyDeleteAgreed & Furthermore, it is a widely held and not unreasonable belief that increased job satisfaction leads to increased performance. The entire human relations movement, led by Mayo (1933) and supported by Roethlisberger and Dixon (1939) research, was based on the belief that increasing worker satisfaction, primarily through pleasant and supportive supervision and meeting their social needs, could increase productivity (Armstrong, 2014)
DeleteI agree with your content and, I would like to add that Job satisfaction represents a combination of positive feelings that workers have towards their work and organisation. Moreover, when a worker is employed in a business organization, brings with it the needs, desires, and experiences which determine the expectations he has. Job satisfaction represents the extent to which the expectations are matched with the real awards. Job satisfaction is closely linked to that individual's behavior in the workplace(Davis,1985)

DeleteTopic of motivation is highlighted and discussed in the subject of organizational behavior which has distinctive featuring of models and theories pertain to motivation. Development and growth of employees are significantly focused. As for Maslow, Alderfer, McClelland, Hackman and Hertzberg; the growth is most influential and intrinsic motivator for individuals that exploit the potential of employees. It is found that an undeniable link exists among employee motivation and their satisfaction with the jobs and to organizational commitment (Basset-Jones and Lloyd, 2005; Chen et al., 2004).
ReplyDeleteAgree with you & a culture that values employee engagement encourages employees to strive for and realize their future vision by valuing the diversity of their talents and skills. Employee engagement is seen to be highly influenced by one factor, effective management among other factors (Chandani, et al., 2016) A talent management strategy including career planning, organizational support, and incentives can result in high engagement and reduced attrition levels in the organizations (Chandani, et al., 2016)

DeleteGreat approach Farhan. In addition, the motivation possessed by employees further has the ability to improve organizational performance (Dobre, 2013).
ReplyDeleteThank you for your valuable comment & add more further performance management is critical for increasing the productivity of human resources. Human resources and productivity are now the most important factors determining organizational success in new and progressive organizations. (Rostam, 2020)
DeleteAgreed, Farhan. Job satisfaction is a gratifying or upbeat feeling that arises from considering one's job (Azash et al, 2011). As crucial contributors to long-term objectives, organizations now realize the significance of engaged and satisfied workers. It has compelled businesses to meet the desires and expectations of their workers, and we may anticipate a similar reaction. Motivation has a positive effect on individual and group performance, which has a positive effect on organizational performance (Risambessy et al 2012). Long believed that learning new things and chances for competence growth increase employee morale and happiness, it is now understood that goal accomplishment has a significant effect on motivation and work satisfaction.
ReplyDeleteAgree with you & furthermore training and development are processes that invest in people so that they are prepared to perform well. They are part of an overall human resource management approach that, ideally, results in people being motivated to perform (McDowall & Saunders 2010) (Oluwaseun, 2018)

ReplyDeleteAgreed Farhan ,Furthermore This point has been explained by Lockley (2012) by insisting that certain practices such as engaging in constructive arguments and dialogues in workplace can prove to be highly motivational for the representatives of Western culture, whereas the same set of practices can prove to be counter-productive for employees from Asian countries due to vast cross-cultural differences.
ReplyDeleteGood Post Farhan, Additionally, managers' and supervisors' encouragement of teamwork, commitment to one another, and awareness of diversity issues are important factors in performance motivation and facilitation (Snyder et al, 2004).
ReplyDeleteMotivating employee performance through work is more successful than trying to motivate it through rewards (Jain & Gupta, 2019). An important part of improving employee motivation and performance is clear, attainable goals. Informing your employees of goal you have set for your small business improves focus and team cohesion (Hanaysha & Majid, 2018).
ReplyDeleteHuman Resource Managers are striving to achieve employee motivation (Islam and Ismail, 2008). As you have presented Farhan, there is a direct correlation between employee motivation and good workplace performance.
ReplyDeleteGood article Farhan. Furthermore, when employees are well motivated, they help the organization to grow and survive in a fast-changing workplaces (Lindner,1998). In management terms, motivation is the process of giving employees incentives based on unfilled requirements in order to motivate them to work more for the organization in its entirety. (Herzberg, 1959).
