run the business in effective manner. That is why, the report will describe the theories of
motivation and understand the importance of team working. Further, it will also show how and

are some motivating factor such as job satisfaction which are separated from hygiene factor that
cause dissatisfaction (Motivational theory,2019). The theory states that If hygiene factor are low
at working area, then this can make the individual unhappy and dissatisfies but on the other side,
Motivating factor helps to increases the overall performance including the personal growth as
well. On the other side, Herzberg did not addresses salary as a motivator factor and it can be only
when an employee get extra incentives. For instance, having a responsibility or an achievement
can also cause the satisfaction but the hygiene factors are not make sure that an employee is not
dissatisfied but the motivation factors are needed to ensure this.
Adam's equity Theory: The theory is relate to process theory This theory states that
people are motivated only if they are treated equitably such that they receive fair treatment for
their extra efforts and cost (Shane and Heckhausen, 2019). At the workplace, employees put
input into a job such as education, experience ad efforts and in return they want outcome such as
salary, reward, promotion and challenging work in equal amount. The theory also states that
when an employee put their extra efforts at working area, then in return they want output that
makes them motivated and comfortable in the working area. For that reason, they can do
anything and on the other side, if the employers do unequal treatment with their employees , then
it may leads to creates negative impact upon the employees and it has been analysed that greater
inequality, the greater distress among the employees and as a result, they feel demotivated.

3. Understand what delegation involves
Delegation is the duty of any authority to a person which is carry out to perform the
specific activity and therefore, it is also consider one of the important core idea of management
leadership. Delegation also empowers a subordinate in order to make better decision and also
help a business to take an organization to further level of success as well (Ashworth and Sasso,
2019).
An effective delegation includes the distribution of authority to other people in an
organisation. It is basically a procedure by implementing which manager in an enterprise assigns
responsibilities to their subordinates. The different elements of an effective delegations are
Authority, responsibility and accountability. Authority can be referred to as power of an
individual to give order or command to their subordinates and to take quick actions according
to position. In context of an enterprise, the authority given to people is based on their position
within company. The second element is responsibility, delegation also includes transfer of
certain responsibilities. Last element is accountability, it involves the answer ability of superior
in terms of final outcome of the Job.
The manager in an organisation is required to delegate the authority as well as
responsibility to their followers according to skills as well as knowledge posses by them. It is the
delegation which will assist superior in ensuring that work has been done in proper manner. The
are seven important requirement for effective management as well as delegation these are ;
 Selection of right person
 Matching the need of Job with the abilities of an individual

In addition to this, manager or leader in an organisation is required to have discussion
with other team members before delegating the authority as well as responsibility to particular
person (Roy And et.al., 2019.). As it is the tactics which will assist them in making the suitable

decision related to delegation. In addition to this, leaders or manager in an enterprise required to
communicate clear goals to an individual before delegating the authority or responsibility.
The time of delegating the authority as well as responsibility is completely based on
situations. Manager or leader in an organisation is require to delegate the authority as well as
responsibility during the time of intense work pressure. In addition to this, the time of delegation
is dependent on the urgency as well as readiness of an individual to take set of responsibilities.
3.Understand the role of training within organisations.
Training has becomes highly important within business organisation as it is very essential
to organise training within organisation. It is the process that consist of series which needs to be
followed systematically to have an efficient programmes for training. Training within
organisation systematically activity performed in order to modify the skills, attitudes as well as
behaviour of employees in order to perform a specific job. In past years, organisations used to
consider training as an expensive task but now organisations have understood that organising
training within organisation are considered as cost effective expenses for the company (Cropley,
2016).
Here are the various importance of Training within organisation which are as follows-
Performance of employees are improved: Effective performance of employee's are one
of the biggest assert for the company. Employees who received necessary training is used to
perform their job role more perfectly. It also provides a great understanding of there roles and
responsibilities and it also builds confidence among them. It also makes the employees self-
driven which is very important because dependency creates pressure on seniors.
Employee Satisfaction and Motivation: this is another benefit of organizing training
within organisation as it largely contribute to raise the satisfaction level and motivation of
employees. The investment made by company represents that employees are worth and valued
for the organisation that automatically raised the satisfaction level of employees as they feel they
are valued for organisation. It is very important that organisation should have supportive work
environment which can only be done through training programmes (Mohammadyari and Singh,
2015).
Addressing Weaknesses or Shortcoming: It is fact that weaknesses present within
organisation, thus, it is duty of managers to addresses all the weaknesses and shortcomings. This
can only be done by organising regular training programmes within organisation. Training

competitive advantages within organisation.
Consistency: Consistency is also very important for the organisation and it can be done
by robust training and development programmes. The consistency is specially relevant for the
basic policies, system and processes of the company.

core needs of the organisation to maintain the standard of quality. It is very important for the
organisation to raises the productivity by adhering the quality standard which can only be done

Herzberg, Equity theory, the company also raise the working performance of their employees.
Further, by using Tuckman and Belbin team roles, an organization will easily provide the
importance of working in a team will be more beneficial rather than working individual. Further,
