6PROJECT DISSERTATIONChapter 1Introduction 1.0. IntroductionThis is a research, which depicts the effect of motivation on the performance of theemployees. Motivation is one of the key factors which can drive employees to provide betterperformance and that are why modern managers are trying to find different ways ofmotivating the employees. However, there is always a debate regarding the effect ofmotivation on the performance of the employees. The quality of work force in anorganization is one of the key factors, which can provide competitive advantage to anorganization. This research paper deals with the case study on Marks & Spencer that analyzesthe effect of motivation on the workforce.1.1. Background of the studyWorkforce in one of the important asset of an organization and employee performanceis a factor, which will help an organization to improve the operation output, which in turnwill help in the increase of the net profit. Motivation is one of the important aspects that candrive the employees to provide better output but there is no definitive proof that motivationalone can influence the performance of the workforce (Cherian and Jacob 2013). However,there are instances, which show that increasing the level of motivation is not the only factorthat can help in improvement of the employees, and both the variables taken in toconsideration cannot be taken as the equivalent. There are factors such as skill level of theemployee, tangible benefits and intangible benefits that affect the perception of theemployees toward motivation. These factors are discussed in detail in the chapter four of the

According to Suharto (2017), there areinstances where people are unable to perform even though they are highly motivated. Theskill level of the employees is also an important factor, which has to be taken in toconsideration. The research done by the author shows that the level of performance of theemployees becomes stagnant after a certain point of time and with further increase in thelevel of motivation, the performance of the employees decreases. The tabulation of theemployee performance and motivation forms a bell shaped curve, which shows that theemployee performance becomes stagnant at some point and then starts decreasing. Thenumbers of high performing employees in an organization are much less in number becausevery few employees can reach that level of motivation so there is an distinction between thetop performers and the average performers in the organization. This is the very reason thatthere is no level of impact on the performance of the employees due to to the motivationalfactors.Figure 1(Source: Suharto 2017)
