Theextent of survival of any company in the industry is the performance and profitability, and thatmajorly depends on the performance of the employees. Many organizational factors affect theemployee productivity. Some of those factors are, organizational culture, attitude and skills,training and development programs, career growth opportunities remuneration and benefits, andmotivation of the employees (Sageer, Rafat and Agarwal 2012). As stated by Elnaga and Imran(2013), job satisfaction of the employees of a company contributes significantly in increasingtheir productivity. On the other hand, job satisfaction depends on the above mentioned factors.Thus, all these concepts are interrelated. Motivation is a very important factor that influences the productivity of employees. Itarises from internal as well as external factors. According to Herzberg’s motivation-hygienetheory, there are few elements in an organization that causes job satisfaction, known as themotivation factors, and some causes dissatisfaction, known as hygiene factors (Miner 2015).Sense of achievement, rewards and recognition, decision making power, career growthopportunities, accomplishments and skill enhancement are treated as the motivation factors. Onthe other hand, salary, benefits, job security, working condition and environment, position in theworkplace, vacations work as hygiene factors. Thus, to enhance the employee motivation, thecompanies need to enhance the job satisfaction factors, which in turn reflect in the productivity(Yusoff, Kian and Idris 2013).
