The title of the article “Motivation and performance correlation study” by Georgiana
Corcaci (2016) discusses the impact of employee satisfaction of employee motivation by
considering the modern contemporary world where the private business players have been given
a free reign to conduct their business in any manner they desire, which is conducive with the
societal norms, for the purposes of earning a high level of profit. In this capitalistic nature of the
society, the operational activities of the private businesses is performed by the employees who
are employed by the managers of the concerned private business. Mekler et al., 2017 agrees with
the author that although the managers of the private businesses who are the owners of the
resources of the world and has a lot of wealth, the generation of their profit depends upon the
performance level of the employees who have the potential to increase the level of production.
For this purpose it is essential that the employees should be kept satisfied which would motivate
them to produce at a greater level (Black & Allen, 2018). This essay seeks to discuss a research
paper on the impact of employee satisfaction on employee motivation. The paper also looks in to
how the discussed article contributes to contemporary thinking about research. The research
concludes with some of the significant opinions about the discussed article.
The article, “Motivation and Performance Correlation Study” written by Georgiana
Corcaci focuses on the correlation between employee motivation and employee satisfaction. The
article discusses about the requisite skills of an employee which are needed for the performance
of the job. The author states that employees are really motivated by the system of rewards and
recognition. The author also discusses in the article how these factors help in the promotion of
satisfaction of the employees and in turn, motivate them to work hard. However, beyond a
particular limit, the motivational factors would not work upon the employee if he or she does not
have the skills needed (Landry et al., 2017). For the purposes of looking in to the correlation

between employee satisfaction and employee motivation, the author analyses several significant
research steps.
The research method which sought to gather information about the linkages between
employee satisfaction and employee motivation was divided in to several steps such as diagnosis
of the motivations where the employees were asked several questions and their responses were
accordingly graded. The next research method applied was the diagnosis of the performance of
the employees where the production level of the employees were taken in to consideration
(Corcaci, 2016). The third step was to analyze the interdependence and interaction between
motivation and performance. The fourth step was to analyze the profile of all the respondents
chosen. The population sample which was taken in to account consisted of around fifty six
employees out of which forty two were men and fourteen were women, irrespective of the
hierarchical position held by them in the chosen organization.
The article illustrates very clearly and lucidly about the importance of research to
undertake decisions in the organization. The research conducted will help the managers of the
organization to know better about the employees, judge the performance level of the employees
on an impartial basis and also look in to all the other factors with which the employees have a
problem with within the organization (Kuppuswamy et al., 2017). The managers then can utilize
the data to understand what the various factors which keep an employee satisfied and how can
they be motivated in a proper manner so that they continue to work hard for the interest of the
organization.
The information from this article can be effectively utilized in the field of any
organization as the relationship between employee satisfaction and employee motivation is
universal (Bin, 2015). Human beings only tend to work hard when they are provided with some

incentives or when their demands and wants are fulfilled (Harris & Fleming, 2017). This means
that the data gathered in this article can be effectively utilized by others reading this article in
order to understand what are the various ways by which an employee can be kept motivated long
enough to work for the betterment of the organization. Moreover, the managers have an
important duty towards the satisfaction of the employees as is clearly evidenced from the article
(Marthouret & Sigvardsson, 2016). For instance, in the question that when the boss appreciates
the work done does the production level increases, the employees responded with an affirmation.
In conclusion it is observed that the article “Motivation and Performance Correlation
Study” written by Georgiana Corcaci is a well-defined article, catering to all the important
aspects in the development of an organization with regards to an employee. It looks in to all the
different factors which might encourage an employee to stay motivated and this knowledge can
work as a guideline for the other organizations.
