The Effect of Motivation on Employee Performance
The Effect of Motivation on Employee Performance
Organizations need to motivate their employees to
achieve peak performance and organizational goals. In fact, motivation is the
best tool for peak performance
Organizations in this dynamic globalized world are
continuously striving to improve performance by training and motivating
employees and using various HR applications and practices
Some factors can influence the effectiveness of
employees, one of which is motivation

Employee performance is a function of competence and
motivation, where competencies comprise the skills, training, and resources
needed to perform a task, and motivation is the inner workings that drive an
individual to act towards something
It is not easy to create satisfaction with the work of
employees, because satisfaction with work can be created only if there is
continuity between work motivation, leadership, and organizational culture of the
company
Motivation is a complex problem in organizations
because everyone's needs and desires are different
Theories of Motivation
According to Herzberg’s two motivation theory, there are
two dimensions in motivation variables which are:
1) Intrinsic motivation - Factors
that encourage an employee to be motivated, such as the encouragement that
comes from each individual. Motivators are related to work encompassing
success, recognition, hard work, and work improvement
2) Extrinsic motivation- These
factors are usually associated with the psychology and physical conditions in
which workplaces operate. Happy working environment, high salary, good
relations with colleagues, effective supervision, and management of the firm's
policy

Great post Upul. In addition to above, employees that are happy in their jobs typically perform more effectively at work and are more committed to the organization, which improves employee retention and lowers employee turnover (Dogonyaro, 2021). Abraham Harold Maslow proposed a theory that outlined five hierarchical needs which could also be applied to an organization and its employees’ performance (Gordon, 1965). Organization benefits can also play a large role in an employee's satisfaction and performance. Some organizations offer bonuses or extra benefits to certain employees who make the effort to improve their performance (Jerome, N., 2013).
ReplyDeleteDear Nadula,Emoployee Motivation is important to retain employee for longer period. According to,(Mahpara Shah, 2018)Motivation is essential to employee retention. Motivation can be studied by two factors: one is financial reward and the other is the non-financial reward. To study the effect of rewards on employee retention, it has been determined that only financial rewards are not sufficient to satisfy employees for their jobs.
ReplyDeleteAgreed & furthermore, The term "employee performance" refers to an individual's work achievement after putting in the necessary effort on the job, which is associated with having meaningful work, an engaged profile, and compassionate colleagues/employers around them (Hellriegel, Jackson, & Slocum, 1999; Karakas, 2010). An effective employee performance management system is required for a business organization in order to fully utilize HR and augment organizational success. The performance-driven goal is expected to be aligned with organizational policies, so that the entire process transitions from event-driven to more strategic and people-centric (Jena, & Pradhan, 2014; London, 2003; Mone, & London, 2009) (Pradhan & Jena, 2016)
ReplyDeleteGreat introduction Upul, I agreed the content and a sound knowledge can be gathered with regard to employee motivation through the article. Furthermore, every individual in an organization is motivated by some different way. When talking in term of employee motivation, it can be simply defined as “Employee motivation is a reflection of the level of energy, commitment, and creativity that a company's workers bring to their jobs. Motivating the staff leads to broaden their skill to meet the organizational demands (Mohamud, Ibrahim and Hussein 2017).

ReplyDeleteThank you Samanth for commenting.Also,Employee motivation is known as an inclination that exists in an individual consciously or unconsciously and generally requires action with a certain goal. Motivation can be considered as a vital stimulator that can influence human behavior (Nurazlin Binti Sulaiman, 2022).
ReplyDeleteWell written Upul, further adding to above. Employee motivation and increased performance are two sides of the same coin. If you go to the store without a coin with both sides intact, you are very likely to leave empty-handed. The purpose of establishing an organization is to employ workers and make them feel at ease while working, while employees in turn contribute their efforts to making the organization profitable (Olusadum & Anulika, 2018).
ReplyDeletethanks Safiya,There are many motivation strategies that managers can use to improve performance in the workplace. Improving internal company culture with diversity which will lead to increased creativity throughout the organization will be a good strategy according to (Galli, 2020).
DeleteNicely written Upul. Furthermore, Motivation is something that moves the person to action and continues him the cause faction already initiated. Motivation has the role to develop and intensify the desire of every member of the organization to work effectively and efficiently in his position. Even though money occupies a major place in the mix of motivators, money alone cannot motivate employee well to work unless it is coupled with other non-monetary motivators (Frey and Osterloch 2002).
ReplyDeleteAgreed Manodya,Abraham Maslow believed that human needs are divided into five categories, and that needs in lower categories are stronger drivers of motivation than higher categories, and must be at least partially satisfied before a person can be motivated to work toward higher categories. The five categories were the following: physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, esteem needs, and self-actualization according to (Lena Dohlman, 2019).
DeleteGreat post Upul. agreed with the points, The impact of motivation on performance is favorable. The findings indicate that motivation plays a supporting role in both public and private organizations, particularly when it comes to enhancing performance. According to empirical evidence, motivation has an impact on performance directly. This is based on the link between motivation and performance. The results of this study are consistent with a number of earlier studies that have demonstrated in the past that employee performance is significantly influenced by motivation, both directly and indirectly (Elvina and Chao, 2019)
ReplyDeleteGreat Manoj,A good pay and recognition were the most effective motivators. On the other hand, benefits, working environment, co-workers also have effects on motivation but not as strong as the previous two (Ismail, 2008).
DeleteEmployee motivation and performance are key factors in moving a small business forward. Owners, managers and supervisors know positive motivation leads to better performance and higher productivity but may rely on the wrong tools (Jain & Gupta, 2019). Using cash rewards to improve motivation might seem easy, but doing it fairly can be difficult. Threatening employees based on non-performance can cause morale problems and increase worker turnover. Not recognizing employees can make them feel that no matter what they do, the company doesn't care. Work with your managers to cultivate a relationship between motivation and performance to improve your staff productivity (Hanaysha & Majid, 2018).
