Motivation at the workplace
Introduction
Motivation is an important aspect that is to be maintained in the workplace. There are different
reasons for providing employee motivation. This is because it is the employees who allow the
management to meet several goals related to the organization. A proper amount of motivation
will lead to productive work in the organization as well as lead to the achievement of outputs at a
higher level. Improper motivation can lead to unorganized work, and it will not allow an
organization to set and achieve the targets. It is the need of the authority of the organization to
plan about the delivering of proper and effective motivation to have a smooth working
environment.
Needs of people in my organization
I am an employee of a corporate sector that deals with Information Technology and Application.
There are different needs that are associated with the employees of my organization. There are
some of my colleagues, including me, who are working from the organization form past 1 year
but still did not have any major salary hike. On the other hand, new employees that are appointed
by the authority are being paid much more than us. This is a huge background for de-motivating
the old employees that are working for the organization. It has also been noticed that the new
employees are not at all experienced, but they are drawing much more salary form the
organization. When they are asking us about our salary, we are feeling ashamed to utter that an
employee working for the specific organization for about a year does not get the salary that can
even be told (Navarro et al. 2015).
These are not the only cause; there are several other causes of demotivation that the employees
receive from the organization. We generally receive feedback when a project fails, or any bad
rework exists that has been done by us carelessly. These feedbacks are always in negative aspect
only. The employees never receive any good feedback when their performance goes better or any
separate appreciation for the employees that are achieving a success rate. There were previously
one or two employees that have been placed in the higher position just because of the
performance, but after that, no older employees are selected for the higher position rather no
motivational approaches. The new employee’s, who is just 2 months old, is being placed as a
team leader, whereas the older employees need to work under the team of the newly appointed
employee. This becomes so embarrassing at the time that it cannot be explained properly. This
