According to the Herzberg theory of employees motivation, there are major two kind of factor
which affect employees motivation that is hygiene and motivator factor. In the context of
motivator factor, if company provides sense of achievement, growth and promotion opportunity,
higher responsibility, meaningful work and assignment to employees then they will highly
motivate for higher performance and productivity within organisation. On the other hand in the
context of hygiene factor, if company provides attractive incentive, fringe benefits,
compensation, bonus, effective physical condition of working, and job security then employees
will also motivate for higher performance. Thus it can be said that employees motivation is a
simple term under which management encourage and recognise them for their effective
performance.
Analyse various tools and techniques of employee’s motivation within organisation
As per the view of Cullen and et. al., (2014) motivation techniques are majorly divided
into two part that is monetary and non monetary. In the context of monetary motivation can
provide by monetary rewards like bonus, incentives, fringe benefits, compensation, effective
working condition, job security etc. On the other hand in the non monetary motivation,
management provide effective promotion, increment, higher responsibility, growth opportunity,
higher status etc. These motivation tools and techniques aids in improving the employees
motivation and performance within organisation. As per the view of Rondinelli, (2013)
employees engagement within business decision making is also effective technique of employees
motivation under which management invites personnel’s in the business decision making
process. By this manner, human resource can able to share their views, opinion, thoughts and
issue related to working with management. As per the view of Coleman, (2015) employees
welfare programs is another major tool for employee motivation under which employees can
take relaxation from the high workload stress and frustration.
Analyse impact of employee’s motivation on the performance of organisation
According to the view of Panagiotakopoulos, (2013) employees motivation and business
performance have direct relationship. As employees are most crucial and important part of the
organisation and their performance determines company success. While employees are
motivated and satisfied then they will automatically give their best contribution within firm for
attain the objective. On the other hand if they are not satisfied and demotivated then they will not
perform in an effective manner so that performance of firm can decrease and outcome will also
5

reduce. In order to get effective success, employees motivation is very important aspect.
Motivated and encouraged employees can take initiative for higher performance and
productivity. If they satisfied and motivated then they take initiative for hard work and it will
directly positively affect company’s performance. As per the view of Sánchez and Soriano,
(2011) employees motivation aids business unit in improving company productivity and quality
because a well satisfied and motivated person will improve their quality of work. In addition to
this, motivation rewards can generate the competition among employees for higher performance
because reward will give those employees who perform in an excellent manner. So it can be said
that in order to gain the reward , employees will improve their productivity and quality of work
which will directly positively affect company’s performance and productivity.
