INTRODUCTION
Motivation basically is a very old and traditional concept used within the business sector.
Motivation specifically refers to a process which supports the procedures of initiation, guidance
and maintenance of the behaviours of the human resource of the organization to be goal-oriented
and focused towards single common direction (Heckhausen. and Heckhausen., 2018). Motivation
is mainly a practice that is performed by a particular company on its employees so that the end
goal or objective of the company is achieved and the company is capable of developing and
growing.
