1.3 Description of critical review of the selected topic
Explore the meaning of employees motivation
As per the point of view of O'Sullivan and et.al., (2016) employees motivation is great
tool to encourage workers of organization for increasing working efficiencies and better quality
services. However, different motivational tools are applied for this approach including monetary
and non-monetary. In this regard, monetary tools involve bonus, incentive, increment and
different components therefore they will perform better for contributing in team efficiently.
While, on the other side, non-economic tools includes reward, appreciation and various kinds of
elements that encourages them for enhancing working efficiencies and contributing in group
work by supporting all members of the team efficiently. However, it influences positive and
peaceful environment of organization also helpful for better quality services at high level.
Including this, it is valuable for personal and professional development of workers that improves
their skills for presenting in group work.
On the contrary to this, Bernard and et.al., (2014) claims that only motivated employees
of the organization supports team at most that impacts on organization's effectiveness. In this
regard, employees even after presenting their best role in team do not get any reward so they
distract their interest for working in the group and helping all workers. However, it is needed for
manager of the organization to focus and analyse each employees' requirement towards work
performance and their satisfaction level so by organizing development programs, effective
growth can be obtained and environment of entity will be friendly as well healthy.
Investigate the techniques of employees motivation
As per the view of Gerhart and Fang, (2014) monetary and non monetary reward is one of the
technique by which employees personal and professional need can satisfied. In the monetary
reward incentive, bonus, fringe benefits, compensation, perquisites etc can provided by firm to
employees. On the other hand in the non monetary reward promotion, growth opportunity, higher
responsibility , higher status etc can provided to employees according to their efficiency. As per
the view of Rukevwe and Oke, (2014) engagement of employees is another tool to enhance
employees motivation under which company invite employees in the business decision making
and they are allowed to share their view, opinion, suggestion to management. This is the best
way to enhance employees motivation because by this they can feel as valuable for company.

Impact of employees motivation on the business performance
As per the view of Parakandi and Behery, (2016) employees motivation positively affect the
performance of business because if they are effectively satisfied and motivated then they can
able to give effective contribution to the business enterprise. With assistance of motivation,
employees can able to take the initiative for higher performance and productivity.
Pickard, (2013) expresses his views that employees efficiency is interrelated with
organization's performance. Therefore, role model of workers is quite influences effectiveness of
firm and also for its development. In this regard, several ideas are generated for effective
business performance. It is necessary to conducting training and development programs for
employees' development that affects entity's growth also remains able to encourage them for
better quality services. Hence, employees motivation affects business performance regarding its
effectiveness and efficiency for business and competitive strategies to provide services
effectively.
Smith and et.al., (2015) argues that due to lack of resources and inefficient balance of
organization, wrong results are obtained. Similarly, different kinds of workers' roles are
presented that impacts on entity's performance. Including this, lack of coordination and
understanding among employees is able to reach out set target for its effectiveness. Therefore, it
is recognized that employees performance and motivation impacts on business performance.
Thus, it is essential for organization's effectiveness and quality services for proper management
of all business operations. However, employees performance and their role models are effective
for entity's growth that affects on business and competitive strategies. In addition to this,
employees' motivation is helpful for firm's effectiveness and its growth at high level that affects
on different positive aspects. Thus, business performance is get affected through this process for
long term sustainability and implementing strength for better quality services. Including this,
employees role model impacts on organization's efficiencies regarding effectiveness and
efficiencies to reach out set target and accomplishing tasks effectively. Hence, employee
motivation is significant for improving efficiencies at high level.
1.4 Develop a research project specification
The present research project is composition of different approaches, designs and
philosophy can be understood as follows:-

 Research design:- There are several kinds of designs presented for conducting research
such as exploratory, descriptive and experimental. However, for this research project,
researcher uses descriptive design under which particular problems and their solution for
reducing the issue is to be described (Smith and et.al., 2015). Including this, scholar
applies this research design thereby overall knowledge regarding projnecting including
critical evaluation and different aspects are explained for reaching out set target of
effectiveness. Research philosophy:- It is useful for analyzing research tools as well making decision
for projecting. In accordance to this, positivism philosophy is created for focusing on
particular objective for organization's effectiveness. However, specific goal and its
related tools and different aspects are obtained that affects project accomplishment. In
this process, scientific tools and techniques are also used for completion of tasks.
Therefore, research philosophy is related to including different tasks for effectiveness of
entity (Bryman, 2015).
 Research approach:- For effective research project, analyst uses inductive approach that
includes theories and varieties of ideas for project accomplishment. However, research
approach is related to fulfilling set requirements. In this process, various tools and
elements for research project are defined to be followed on for effectiveness of projecting
(Vaishnavi and Kuechler, 2015). Therefore, the present research approach is helpful for
making decisions regarding project that involves various analyses and present reporting
for project completion.
 Data collection:- Researcher collects data through different methods at primary and
secondary level. In this process, under primary data collection technique, information are
gathered through conducting survey and interview to obtain current position of
organization which has no connection with past activities and future intentions (Schwab,
2013). Therefore, recent performance of entity is gained through this process. On the
other side, through secondary data collection, information are gathered through ready and
prepared material for example newspaper, analyzing organization's performance using
different tools, government publications and so on. Therefore, data are collected in
different manner for preparing strategies and making decisions related to further

implementation. Thus, data collection methods are different for gathering information by
which further decisions are made regarding business operations.
 Data analysis:- After collecting data by researcher, project manager of the company
analyses all gathered information which considers as decision making tool for
effectiveness of organization and improving its efficiency (Richey and Klein, 2014).
Therefore, data analysis is one of the great technique for interpreting actual performance
of organization thereby future implementation can be achieved effectively. Under this
research planning, gathered information are recognized that affects effectiveness as well
decision making in future time.
Ethical consideration:- For conducting research, analyst focuses upon some
considerations for collecting data. For example; taking data from reliable and ethically for
analysing company's performance (Berger, 2015). Including this, all recorded data are ethically
authorized and also remains able for proper data analysis and making decisions regarding
business operations.
