1ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIORUse of motivational techniques has been found to directly influence employeerelationship and workplace productivity. Different motivational theories have also defined thelink between motivation, and job satisfaction, leadership style, productivity and performance.There are motivational factors that influences productivity too such as the intrinsic/extrinsicmotivation factors, cognition and environment (Zameer et al. 2014). The main purpose of thisessay is to critically analyze a research by Guclu, H. and Guney (2017) on investigating theeffect of motivation techniques used by managers to increase the productivity of their workersand commenting on the research finding by comparing it with different theoretical perspectiveand different factors associated with motivation. The key strength and weakness of the article isprovide with valid explanation about confounding factors and biasness in research design. Theessay also provides argument regarding areas of disagreement and recommends other approachto enhance the validity and transferability of the research work. In any research work, the main purpose of author is always to explain the significance ofthe research work and research hypothesis with explanation about current issues or gap in thetopic area. This validates the research work and gives idea to the reader about the significance ofthe research question. Guclu, H. and Guney (2017) has set the scene for research by explanationabout efficiency notions in workplace, factors and methodologies affecting efficiency anddifference of motivation techniques and theories in increasing efficiency at workplace. Suchexplanation is commendable work by the researcher as they have started from wider perspectiveand gradually narrowed the discussion to give idea about the topic of interest in the researchwork.

Forbetter simplicity, it is assumed that the main research questions was to evaluate employee’sperception regarding the effect of motivation tools used by managers.

Leaders implement various strategies tomotivate their employees, however the employee’s are the best source to tell the effectiveness ofthese strategies. Hence, I agree with the importance of the research question as it can give ideaabout the dimensions of leadership styles that can promote daily employee engagement in work.A study by Breevaart et al. (2014) has discussed about the role of leadership style on employeeengagement. For instance, transformational leaders motivate their followers beyond expectationand workplace place with such leader may dramatically affect production. Just like thisliterature, the research question used by Guclu, and Guney (2017) might help to find out effecton leader’s behavior on day-to-day procedures and followers outcome. Based on the thesis statement, data was collected from employees and managers workingin fabric dying industries by means of survey based questionnaire. The first set of questionnairegave idea about the age, gender, educational status and experience of the participants, whereasthe second set gave idea about the opinion of employees about the motivation tools.
