The Relationship Between Motivation and Employee Performance Report

This report investigates the impact of motivation on employee performance and productivity, based on a survey. The research explores several key themes, including the influence of motivation, major motivating factors (job security, good wages, and interesting work), challenges faced by firms (workplace conflict), essential elements for motivation (communication, management style, and training), the effectiveness of different incentives (financial and non-financial), and the benefits of a motivated workforce (better productivity and improved industrial relations). The report also examines motivational techniques used by Unilever (recognition, coaching, and leadership opportunities). The findings highlight the importance of motivation in enhancing employee satisfaction, reducing absenteeism, and increasing overall profitability. The survey results are presented with frequency counts and are used to support the conclusions about the role of motivation in the workplace.
