Employee motivation
Introduction:
Motivation is one of the most important factors affecting human behaviour and
performance. This is the one of the reason why managers attach great importance to
motivation in organizational setting. Lipper has called motivation has the core of
management. Effective directing
leads to effectiveness, both at organizational and
individuals levels. This requires the understanding of what individuals want from the
organization. However, what individuals want from the organization has not been fully
identified.
Definition:
motivation is the complex forces starting and keeping a person at work in an
organization . Motivation is something that moves the person to action, and
continues him in course of action already initiated.
motivation refers to the way in which urges, drives, desires, aspirations, strives,
or needs direct, control or explain the behaviour of human beings.
Motivation can be defined in a variety of ways, depending on whom you
ask. If you ask someone on the street, you may get a response like, its what
drives us or motivation is what makes us to do the things we do . as far as a
formal definition, motivation can be defined as forces within in an individual that
account for the level, direction, and persistence of effort expended at work,
according to schemer horn, et al . This is an excellent working definition for use in
business.
In order to understand the concept of motivation, we have to examine three
terms : motive, motivating and motivation and their relationship.
Study:
The purpose of study is to identify the type of motivation most suited for higher
productivity and methods usually adopted for measuring employees motivation.
To study the factors affecting the individual performance.
Motive: based on the Latin word mover, motive (need) has been defining s follow;
A motive is an inner state that energies, actives, or moves (hence motivation), and
that directs behaviour towards goals.
There is a difference between needs and wants. It is necessary to know the difference
SSIET,MBA,-2015
Page 7
EMPLOYEE MOTIVATION
Between those two terms for every employee. Needs are more comprehensive and include
Desires both physiological needs like social needs, recognition needs, etc, which do not
fall under wants.
Motivating:
Motivation is the term which implies that one person in the organization context, a
manager, induces anther, say employee to engage in action (work behaviour) by ensuring
that a channel to satisfy the motive become available and accessible to the individual in
addition
To channel zing the strong motive in a direction that is satisfying t both the organization
and the employers the manger can also active the latest motivation in individuals and
harness them in a manner that would be function for the organization.
Motivation:
While a motive is engineer of action motivation is the canalization and
activation of
Motives motivation is the work behaviour itself. Motivation depends on motives and
motivating therefore, it becomes a complex process.

Nature of motivating:
Motivating
Motivation
Based on the definition of motivation, we can derive its nature relevant for human
behaviour in organization.
Following characteristics of motivation clarify its nature:
Based on motives:
Motivation is based on individuals motives which are internal to the individuals. These
motives are in the form of feelings that the individual lacks something. In order to
overcome this feeling of laciness, the employee tries to behave in a manner which helps
in overcoming this feeling.
Affected by motivating:
Motivation is affected by way the individual is motivated. The act of motivating
channelizes need satisfaction. Besides, it can also activate the latent needs in the
individual, that is, the needs that are less strong and somewhat dormant, and harness them
in a manner that would be functional for the organization.
Goal-directed behaviour:
Motivation leads to goal directed behaviour. A goal-directed behaviour is one which
satisfies the causes for which behaviour take place. Motivation has profound influence on
human behaviour; in the organizational requirements.
Related to satisfaction:
Motivation is related to satisfaction. Satisfaction refers to the contentment experiences of
an individual which he drives out of need fulfilment. Thus, satisfaction is a consequence
of rewards and punishments associated with the past experiences. It provides means to
analyze outcomes already experienced by individual.
SSIET,MBA,-2015

EMPLOYEE MOTIVATION
Complex process:
Motivation is a complex process; complexity emerges because of the nature of
needs and the type of behaviour that is attempted to satisfy those needs.
These generate complexity in motivation process in the following ways.
(1) Needs are internal feelings of individuals and sometimes even they,
They may not be quite aware about their needs and the priority of these. Thus,
Understanding of human needs and providing means for their satisfaction Becomes
difficult.
(2) even if needs are identified, the problem is not over here as a particular need may
result into different behaviours from different behaviours from different result into
different behaviours from different need ma individuals because of their differences. For
example, the need for promotion may be uniform for different individuals may no engage
in similar type of behaviour; they may adopt different routes to satisfy their promotion
needs.
3) a particular behaviour may emerge not only because of the specific need but it may
be because of a variety of needs. For example, hard work in the organization may be due
to the need for earning more money to satisfy psychological needs, or may to enjoy the
performance of work itself and money becomes secondary, or to get recognition as a
hard- working person.
4) Goal directed behaviour may lead to goal attainment. There may be many cons buses
in situation which may restring the goal attainment of goal directed behaviour. This may
lead to frustration in an individual creating lot of problems.
Type of needs
There are many types of needs which an individual may have and there are various ways
in which these may be classified. The basic objective behind classification of needs into
categories is to find out similarly and dissimilarly in various needs so that incentives are
grouped to satisfy the needs falling under one category or the other. Needs may be
natural, biological phenomenon in an individual, or these may over the period of time
through learning.
Page 10
EMPLOYEE MOTIVATION
3) General needs
Primary needs:
Primary needs are also known as physiological, biological, basic, or unlearned
needs. Primary needs are animal drives which are essential for survival. These needs are
common to all human beings, though their intensity may differ.
Secondary needs:
These needs are learned by the individual through his experience and interaction.
Therefore these are called derived or learned needs. Emergence of these depends on
learning. These may be different types of secondary needs for power, achievement, status
affiliation, etc.
General types:
Though a separate classification of general needs is not always given, such a
category seems necessary because there are of needs which lie in the grey area between
the primary and secondary needs. Such needs are like need for competence, curiosity,
manipulation, affection, etc
Aggression:
A more common reaction to frustration is aggression, an act against someone or
something. An employee being denied a promotion may become aggressive and verbally
berate his supervisor.

EMPLOYEE MOTIVATION
Motivation:
Level of motivation drives an individual for work. Motivation is based on motive
which is a feeling that an individual lacks some things. This feeling creates some sort of
tension in his mind. In order to overcome this tension, he engages in goal directed
behaviour that is taking those actions trough which his needs are satisfied. Thus,
motivation becomes a prime mover for efforts and better work performance.
Sense of competence:
To sense of competence denotes the extent to which an individual consistently
regards himself as capable of doing a job. Sense of competence of an individual depends
to a very great extent on his locus of control. Locus of control means whether people
believe that they are in control of events or events control them. Those who have internal
locus of control believe that they can control and shape the course of events in their lives;
those who have external locus of control tend to believe occur purely by chance or
because of factors beyond their own control. An individual with internal locus of control
tends be high performer than those with external locus of control. However, this sense of
competence is not an independent factor but depends on the ability of the individual.
Ability
While sense of competence is type of perception about oneself, ability is his personal
attributes relevant for doing a job. Often, ability is expressed in the following way or
equation
Knowledge refers to the position of information and ideas in a particular field which may
be helpful in developing relationships among different variables related to that field. Skill
refers to expertness, practical ability or facility in an action or doing something. Thus, if
the individual has ability relevant to his job, his performance tends to be higher than those
who do not posses such ability.
Ability=knowledge*

EMPLOYEE MOTIVATION
Role perception:
A role is the pattern of actions expected of a person in activities involving others.
Role reflects a persons position in the social system with its accompanying rights and
obligations. In an organization, activities of an individual are guided by his role
perception that is, how he thinks he is supposed to act in his own role is clear, the
individual tends to perform well. There are two types of problems which emerge in role
specification, role ambiguity and role conflict role ambiguity denotes the state in which
the individual is not clear what is expected from him in the job situation. Role conflict is
the situation in which the individual engages in two or more roles simultaneously and
these roles are mutually incompatible. In both these situations, his performance is likely
to be affected adversely.
Organizational resources:
Organizational resources denote various types of facilities ---physical and psychological
---which are available at the work place. Physical facilities include appropriate layout of
the work place and conductive physical environment. Psychological facilities include
appropriate reward system, training development
facilities, harmonious workshop
appropriate and motivating leadership styles, motivating work, and do on. These
organizational resources work in two ways in increasing individual performance. First,
they facilitate job performance. Second they work as motivating factors which enhance
individual enthusiasm to perform well.
Role of motivation:
Motivation is one among the various factors affecting individual performance. However,
it is one of the most important factors. All organizational facilities will go waste in the
lack of motivated people to utilize these facilities effectively. Every superior in the
organization must motivate his subordinates for the right types of behaviour. Diagnosing
human behaviour and analyzing as to why people behave in a particular way is of prime
importance in motivating them irrespective of the organization because individual is the
basic component of any organization.
The importance of motivation in an organization may be summed up as follows:

Empowerment
Empowerment is the process of enabling or authorizing an individual to think,
behaves, take action, and control work and decision making in autonomous ways. It is the
state of feeling self-empowered to take control of ones own destiny. Empowerment rules
as a development strategy.
Along with motivation job design, empowerment is also used as a technique for
motivation. Most of work organizations have a number of employees who believe that
they are dependent on others and their own efforts have little impact on the performance.
Sense of this powerless creates frustration in employees and they start developing feeling
that they cannot perform successfully or make meaningful contributions. In order to
overcome this feeling of employees and involving them in their jobs, the idea of
empowerment has been introduced. The basic those of empowerment have emerged from
the proponents of total quality management (TQM) which has gained acceptance
throughout the world.
In Websters dictionary, the verb empowers means to give the means, ability of
authority. Thus, empowerment in work setting involves giving employees the means,
ability and authority to do something.
Newsroom and Davis have defined empowerment as follows
Empowerment is any process that provides greater autonomy through the sharing
of relevant information and the provision of control over factors affecting job
performance.
Empowerment helps remove the conditions that cause powerlessness while
enhancing employee feeling of self-efficacy.
SSIET,MBA,-2015
Page 15
EMPLOYEE MOTIVATION
There are five approaches which have been suggested for empowerment:
Helping employees achieve job mastery giving training, coaching, and guided
experience that are required for initial success.
Allowing more control giving employees descry travel section over job performance
and making them accountable for the performance outcomes.
Providing successful role models allowing them to observe peers who are performing
successfully on the job.
Using social reinforcement and persuasion giving praise, encouragement, and verbal
feedback to raise confidence.
Giving emotional support reduction of stress and anxiety through better role present
travel section, task assistance, and personal care.
When managers use these approaches, employees develop a feeling that their jobs
are important and they contribute meaningfully for the achievement of organizational
effectiveness.
This feeling contributes positively to the use of skills and talents in job performance as
shown in figure:

The insurance sector in India has come a full circle from
being an open competitive market to nationalization and back to a
liberalized market again. Tracing the developments in the Indian insurance
sector reveals the 360 degree turn witnessed over a period of almost two
centuries.
A brief history of the Insurance sector
The business of life insurance in India in its existing form started in
India in the year 1818 with the establishment of the Oriental Life
Insurance Company in Calcutta.
Some of the important milestones in the life insurance business in India
are:
1912: The Indian Life Assurance Companies Act enacted as the first
statute to regulate the life insurance business.
1928: The Indian Insurance Companies Act enacted to enable the
government to collect statistical information about both life and non-life
insurance businesses.
1938: Earlier legislation consolidated and amended to by the Insurance
Act with the objective of protecting the interests of the insuring public.
1956: 245 Indian and foreign insurers and provident societies taken over
by the central government and nationalized. LIC formed by an Act of
Parliament, viz. LIC Act,1956, with a capital contribution of Rs. 5 crore
from the Government of India. The General insurance business in India, on
the other hand, can trace its roots to the Triton Insurance Company Ltd.,
the first general insurance company established in the year 1850 in
Calcutta by the British.

In 1993, Malhotra Committee headed by former Finance Secretary and RBI
Governor R.N. Malhotra was formed to evaluate the Indian insurance
industry and recommend its future direction.
The Malhotra committee was set up with the objective of complementing
the reforms initiated in the financial sector.
The reforms were aimed at creating a more efficient and competitive
financial system suitable for the requirements of the economy keeping in
mind the structural changes currently underway and recognizing that
insurance is an important part of the overall financial system where it was
necessary to address the need for similar reforms
In 1994, the committee submitted the report and some of the key
recommendations included:
i) Structure
Government stake in the insurance Companies to be brought down to 50%
Government should take over the holdings of GIC and its subsidiaries so
that these subsidiaries can act as independent corporations.
All the insurance companies should be given greater freedom to operate
ii) Competition
Private Companies with a minimum paid up capital of Rs.1bn should be
allowed to enter the industry.
No Company should deal in both Life and General Insurance through a
single entity.
Foreign companies may be allowed to enter the industry in collaboration
with the domestic companies.
Postal Life Insurance should be allowed to operate in the rural market.
Only one State Level Life Insurance Company should be allowed to
operate in each state
Page 20
EMPLOYEE MOTIVATION
An Insurance Regulatory body should be set up
Controller of Insurance (Currently a part from the Finance Ministry)
should be made independent
iv) Investments
Mandatory Investments of LIC Life Fund in government securities to be
reduced from 75% to 50%
GIC and its subsidiaries are not to hold more than 5% in any company
(There current holdings to be brought down to this level over a period of
time)
v) Customer Service
LIC should pay interest on delays in payments beyond 30 days
Insurance companies must be encouraged to set up unit linked pension
plans
Computerization of operations and updating of technology to be carried
out in the Insurance industry.
Hence, it was decided to allow competition in a limited way by stipulating
the minimum capital requirement of Rs.100 crore. The committee felt the
need to provide greater autonomy to insurance companies in order to
improve their performance and enable them to act as independent
companies with economic motives. For this purpose, it had proposed
setting up an independent regulatory body.
The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA)
Reforms in the Insurance sector were initiated with the passage of the
IRDA Bill in Parliament in December 1999. The IRDA since its
incorporation as a statutory body in April 2000 has fastidiously stuck to
its schedule of framing regulations and registering the private sector
insurance companies.
The other decision taken simultaneously to provide the supporting systems
to the insurance sector and in particular the life insurance companies was
the launch of the IRDAs online service for issue and renewal of licenses
to agents.
The approval of institutions for imparting training to agents has also
ensured that the insurance companies would have a trained workforce of
insurance agents in place to sell their products, which are expected to be
introduced by early next year.

FINDINGS
Page 52
EMPLOYEE MOTIVATION
The perception of the employee is high towards the aim of the organization i.e.
Transportation
There is high involvement of the employee in the organization.
There is low participation of employees in decision making.
There is equal participation in work.
Awards and rewards are the high rated approaches that which motivates
employees.
Lack of motivation and recognition, decision taken by top authorities are obstacles
that stop employees performing to the best.
Employees awareness of motivation and empowerment is very low.
SUGGESTIONS:
Employees should be identified by their better performance and should give some
type of incentives, promotions etc. So that employee will be boosted up and will
work better.
SSIET,MBA,-2015
Page 53
EMPLOYEE MOTIVATION
Promotions should be given to the basis of performance only.
The Management creates a challenging work (or) new assignment (or) opportunity
to develop the innovative idea of employee.
The motivation review discussion should be practiced well to encourage the open
communication between both the appraiser and appraise.
The management should study motivation theories for better motivation.
