Abstract:

The changing environment and conditions of employment affect employees' output. Are there ways to increase productivity and efficiency? Can motivation affect the attitude of employees to productivity at work? Suppose workers are given the right incentive, other than money. Can they put in their best to contribute to the productivity and growth of the organization to achieve the objectives of the organization? Can motivation be employed as a strategy to enhance management and staff relations, lower labor turnover, raise worker productivity, and rework and implement the proper laws and policies which will end or lessen industrial unrest? Performance in any organization is the spine of the organization. One of the problems in any organization is how to motivate people to work. The driving force behind productive work is motivation. Organizations are interested in finding and maintaining high-performance levels through human resources. Motivation for workers to work might be influenced by their level of job satisfaction. Motivating people to work entails meeting their needs. Different things drive individuals at various points in time. People have different expectations of work, which is why this occurs. Employees of organizations are the main assets, they are instrumental to the overall success of the organization. As assets, an organization needs to take good care of them, and properly create a conducive environment for them to perform.
