Techniques adopted by the Managers to enhance the motivation level of
the employees
The article is based on the techniques that are adopted by the managers, so that the efficiency of
the employees can be increased. Motivation is an important element which should be taken into
consideration by every organization. The thesis statement on which the main emphasis is given is
based on the techniques or the methods that are adopted by the managers, so that the motivation
level of the employees can be increased. The article is related with the Cerkezkoy in which the
manager has to perform the activities which gives emphasis on increasing the motivation level of
the employees who are working in the organization. If an organization want to survive in the
market then it is very important that there results should be achieved in a positive way. Motivation
technique is something which is very important element that gives direct impact on the working
pattern of the employees. If the top management gives proper motivation to the employees, then it
can be seen that workers can efficiently conduct their operations.
Motivation is considered as a process which discloses all the capability or the ability of an
individual. The individual, who is highly motivated, can easily attain the targets of the
organization. It is the main duty of the top management to motivate the employees who are
working in the organization in proper manner (Greco, Charlier, Christopher and Brown, 2014). If
the top management fails to motivate the employees who are working in the organization, then it is
very difficult for them to attain the target. The organization should give main focus on enhancing
the level of motivation of the employees, so that the operations can be conducted in a smooth
manner. To conduct the task in an efficient way, the main responsibility is of the employee. The
task or the operations are performed by the employees and if employees are not efficient towards
the work, then it can be a great disadvantage for the organization (Goetsch and Davis, 2014).
The strength which is analyzed in the article is related with the motivation techniques that are used
by the manager and by that only they can attain the goals and objectives which are prevailing in
the market. The top management should always assist and support the employees. If there is a
team, then it is a responsibility of a manager to assist and give full support to the subordinates. If
the support is given by the top management then it is seen that the organization can easily compete

Organizational Behavior
with the competitors that are prevailing in the market (Miner, 2015). For example: If there is an
organization in which it is very difficult for the employees to attain the target, then it is seen that
there is lack of motivation in the organization. The manager should take immediate actions or
consider the technique which will enhance the confidence and motivation level of the employees to
conduct its operations on time. If there is a lack of motivation between the employees, then the
organization can never be able to attain the goals (Donagan, 2017).
The weakness that is seen in the article is related with the lack of motivation between the
employees who are conducting the day to day operations of the organization. Every organization
needs an efficient employee to conduct the operations of the organization. If the employee is not
efficient towards the work, then the main duty is of the manager to give motivation. Motivation
enhances the working pattern of the employees. It is seen that there are many techniques which are
there for the manager, but to implement it the manager has to analyze the situation. Motivation
should be given by analyzing the working pattern of the employee. If the worker who is dedicated
towards the work can also set an example for other employees who are working in the organization
(Kleebbua and Siriparp, 2016). It is seen if one employee tries to give best towards the work, then
other employees also feel motivated and inspired. Other employees of the organization also try to
work and give best towards the work. Job satisfaction also plays a great role in enhancing the
working pattern of the employee. If the employee is satisfied and happy with the job, then it is seen
that he or she will be able to attain the target easily. If the employee is not satisfied with the job
then it will give negative impact on the organization. So, it is very essential to motivate the
employees who are working in the organization. Also the employee who conduct the same task
daily get bored and need some motivation, so that the work can be performed in proper manner
(Dhar, 2015).
Training is also considered as an important aspect to conduct the day to day operations in a proper
manner. It helps the employees to learn about new things and also helps to gain knowledge about
the operations or the activities that are conducted in the organization. By giving proper training to
the employees, the organization can easily enhance the profitability and productivity. The
employee who is trained can conduct its operations or the activities in an effective way. It is seen
that there are various organizations that use incentive as a method to motivate the employees
(Ford, 2014). Monetary reward is something which everyone wants, as it helps to fulfill the

Organizational Behavior
requirements and needs. Incentives are not only the technique which is used by the manager to
motivate the employees who are working in the organization. The technique which is used by the
manager to motivate the employees is concerned with the contribution which is done by the
employees of the organization. Employee contribution is concerned with contributing the thoughts,
ideas and the suggestions to the problems. It is a technique which helps the employee to know the
importance and also give positive impact on the working pattern (Centerod, 2012).
Employee compensation plays a great role in enhancing the level of motivation of the employees.
The employee compensation is related with the rewards that are given to the employees of the
organization. It is related with the direct financial payments like wages, salaries and vacations. The
manager can use this technique to motivate the employee, so that their can work with full
dedication towards the work. The reward is concerned with the vacation or benefit in monetary
terms (Temminck, Mearns and Fruhen, 2015). In the recent scenario it is seen that the employees
are concerned about the jobs which offer benefits and incentives. So to enhance the job
satisfaction, the manager should focus on giving rewards to the employees of the organization. The
manager should also focus on analyzing the needs and wants, so that the corrective steps can be
taken according to the requirement of the employee. In this article there are various methods which
are taken into consideration like sample and population method (Colbert, Barrick and Bradley,
2014).It helps to analyze the efficiency of the worker towards the work. There are various theories
also that should be implemented by the managers like Maslow theory in which the main focus is
on the needs of the employees or the workers. In this theory the first needs is concerned with the
physiological needs in which the basic requirement of the individual is measured, so the managers
should take into consideration the basic needs to motivate the employees in proper way. Next need
is concerned with the security in which the main objective of the manager should be to give stable
and happy environment to the employees, so that they can easily complete their task or
activities .Next need is concerned with the esteem need in which the manager should give full
respect to the employees, in this the employee will feel happy and confidence to conduct its
operations. The last one is concerned with the self-actualization need in which the manager should
give main focus on realizing the potential to do the task or the activities in proper manner. The
manager should take into consideration Maslow theory, as this theory gives full reflection of the
needs which are required by the employees. The managers should identify and take into

Organizational Behavior
consideration that which need is satisfied and on which the focus should be given (Barrick,
Thurgood, Smith and Courtright, 2015).
In this article the workers are performing their activities. There are 229 workers who are
conducting their task or the activity. 183 employees or the workers are engaged in the weaving
industry and rests 46 are engaged in manufacturing industry. By giving support to the thesis
statement, it can be easily said that the motivation gives positive impact and also enhances the
efficiency of the worker to perform their task in a proper way. The manager should implement the
techniques by taking into consideration different needs of an individual, and then only it can easy
for the organization to attain the goals and objectives of the organization (Jehanzeb and Bashir,
2013). If the employee is efficient towards the work, then it can be seen that the organization can
easily attain success and growth and also compete with the competitors that are prevailing in the
market.
