MAIN BODY
Motivation theories
Motivation can be defined as an inner feeling of an individual which help them to
work on the particular task and project within the organisation in an effective manner by
increasing their skills efficiency and abilities in a proper manner (Dharma, 2018). There are
number of motivation theory which can be used by the Jack stores for increasing the
motivation within the stores and getting objectives in a successful way. These theories are
mentioned below:
Maslow need of hierarchy theory
It is the most common theory which is used by different organisation for increasing
the performance of individuals Maslow hierarchy of need motivation theory is a
psychological theory which depend on the five tyre model of human needs. These needs are
basic for including motivation within an individual. This theory was propounded by Maslow
in 1943 where he stated the people are motivated to achieve certain needs that the taken over
from others. The five basic pillars are discussed below:
Psychological needs: these are biological requirements of a human body which are
necessary for their survival. It includes their food drink shelter clothing sleep and many more.
If these needs are not satisfied by the human body then it can stop functioning. These are the
most important words which can be fulfilled by the Jack discount stores by providing a safe

and healthy environment where employee can earn proper money which help them in
fulfilling these needs (Saether, 2019).
Safety needs: these are those which arise after the fulfilment of psychological needs
include the security and safety of an individual where people want to experience the order
control in their life. These can be fulfilled by jack discount store as they can provide
emotional security financial security like employment and social welfare schemes to their
employees for increasing their motivation towards work.
Love and belongingness needs: after fulfilment of the psychological and safety needs
it is the time to fulfil the love and belongingness of needs of the individual. This needs are
those which include the friendship intimacy trust and acceptance at the workplace. These
needs and be fulfilled by the Jack discount stores can provide different type of formal and
informal groups within the organisation which help the individuals to fulfil their type of
needs (Khoshnevis and Tahmasebi, 2016).
Esteem needs: these are those needs which are at number 4 within the Maslow
hierarchy theory these needs are included the esteem of on self achievement mastery and
desire for reputation and respect from others. For this Jack discount store can provide
different opportunities to their employees and management where they can perform the
different task and increase their master level within this task with a greater motivation.
Self acquisition needs: it is a peak level within the motivational theory of Maslow as
the states that self acquisition needs are the personal potential self-fulfilment and seeking of
the personal growth by an individual. Jack discount store can provide number of
opportunities which will help employees in increasing their self growth and maintained
different level within the organisation.
These are the Maslow theory is which help Jack discount store in increasing the
motivation within the employees and increase the reputation of Tesco within market by the
effective productivity and profitability in working of these employees.
ERG theory of motivation
This theory was given by Clayton P.F. in 1969 this theory is also based on the
Maslow five human needs which we categorise in 3 needs which are described below:

Existence needs: these are those needs which include all the material and
psychological designers like food water air clothing which includes the Maslow's first level.
Business can be provided by the organisation like Jack discount stores where they can offer a
good employment opportunity as well as adequate pay for their employees.
Relatedness needs: these are those needs which include the social and external spins
which are directly related to relationship with the significant other like family friend for
workers and employees. This need can be fulfilled by Tesco, where it can provide good
working environment and where they can form personal relationship as well as formal and
informal groups (Nduka, 2016).
Growth needs: these are the last in these needs which are based on internal esteem
and self-acquisition needs of Maslow theory. These needs are related to making a person
creative and productive changes within itself and the environment. These needs can be
fulfilled by the organisation where it can provide different task to its employees where they
can increase their abilities skills and qualities for future development and growth.
This theory is also based on the motivation within the workplace which is essential for
an organisation like ok Jack discount stores to maintain effective motivation within the
management as well as employees and increase the productivity.

 Decrease the cost of recruitment and selection because there is low turnover which
also decrease the chances of new recruitment.

corporate moments.
