Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2012 in the subject Business economics - Personnel and Organisation, grade: 60%, Cardiff Metropolitan University, language: English, abstract: The main aim of this dissertation project is to critically examine the chosen organization KFC and to study the effect of its leadership on the motivation of its employees. The research question is "How can management develop their leadership style to motivate staff members to achieving their organizational roles?" Attracting and retaining employees in the current business world has become a big challenge for the organizations. Due to increase in competitors and new entrants, it has become a tough task for the organizations. Globalization has also added a new dimension to the challenge. The workforce is now comprised of people from different countries and different cultures. As a result, keeping them motivated to give a high performance is a big task for the managers. There have been many research and theories of leadership and motivation. However, these are not still fully understood and the relationship between leadership and motivation still needs in depth research. Leaders need to find ways to motivate their subordinates by catering their individual needs and move away from the traditional methods. For the purpose of explaining the causal relationship between leadership and motivation, the researcher pursued an action research strategy and followed an inductive approach as the researcher had to work closely with the organization. Both quantitative and qualitative data was collected using an employee survey questionnaire and a focus group interview of the managers. The data analysis gave information about leadership and motivation of KFC. The managers stressed on having clear communication, independence and decision making for them. The staff stressed on communication, recognition, rewards, improved work condition and self satisfaction. The results revealed that KFC should look to employ some new strategies to increase the motivation of its staff. The researcher has made some recommendations at the end of the report. However, as this research was conducted in a small location, it may require further in depth research to come to an exclusive conclusion.

This book was released on 2021-07-21 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2016 in the subject Leadership and Human Resources - Employee Motivation, grade: 1,3, University of Mannheim, language: English, abstract: The motivation for this work is a result of several factors. At first, the topics of motivation and work performance represent core areas in the fields of management and leadership with essential theoretical and practical implications. Second, various studies have been undertaken in order to examine the direct effects of motivation on work performance showing the high relevance of this issue. For example, the work of Jenkins, Mitra, Gupta and Shaw (1998) verifies a positive link between extrinsic motivation and work performance. Such performance improvements may be essential for companies trying to bet the competition. However, comparable studies examining the effects of intrinsic motivation on work performance tend to be rare. Thus, another reason for this present thesis is to close this substantial research gap. The topic of motivation has been widely studied from various researchers in several areas. It represents an essential part in multiple research fields, including the ones of management and psychology. Rani and Lenka define motivation as “a process that elicits, controls, and sustains certain behaviors”. Thus, motivated employees are activated to engage in a certain behaviour in an energized way, whereas unmotivated employees may not have any incentive to act. Ilardi, Leone, Kasser and Ryan (1993) validate a positive relation between high levels of motivation and positive work outcomes, such as job satisfaction or well-being. The importance of motivation becomes clear in light of the recent Gallup-study, which states that unmotivated workers lead to substantial losses for businesses. Until now, a significant number of studies have focused on the effects of motivation on well-being or job satisfaction. However, this thesis has a slightly different focus. It examines the effects of motivation on work performance of employees based on the self-determination theory (SDT) from Deci and Ryan (1985). Therefore, it distinguishes between two types of motivation, namely intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, which will be defined later. This distinction allows to separately examine the effects of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation on work performance as well as the interaction of those two variables and the joint impact of both motivational constructs on work performance.

Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2016 in the subject Business economics - Personnel and Organisation, grade: Merit, course: MA in Human Resource Management, language: English, abstract: For many years, motivation has been a key indicator of productive employee performance within an organisation, so it has been an area of major concern for the organisation and human resource managers. There are wide ranges of factors related to management, employees, organisation and the workplace which make it a complex and challenging job to motivate employees in an organisation. Therefore, different strategies and methods should be used by the organisation and human resource managers to motivate employees. There are different needs and expectations for an employee to join any organisation. Monetary and non-monetary factors are used by human resource managers to achieve different employee and organisation related objectives. The present research works investigates the impact of motivation on the performance of employees in Ramchandrapur High School. Descriptive method and questionnaires embedded with Likert scale was used as main instruments for collecting necessary data to carry out this research work. Data is collected from the sample size of 50 where faculty members, employee assistants, office helpers, and employees in training and security personnel were included. The critical review of the literature and the quantitative analysis of the survey data pointed that both extrinsic and intrinsic motivational factors play an important role in motivating employees. The study revealed that salary is the most effective motivational factor among various extrinsic and intrinsic motivational factors like job security, advancement in career, the good relationship among co-workers, achievement sense, training and development and sense of recognition. The study further reveals that level of motivation among the employees of Ramchandrapur High School is low as compared to the ex

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this research, empirical literature on work motivation and its relation with job satisfaction has been critically analysed and reviewed to further clarify the variations in each factors impact on employees' motivation level, while being part of an organization. For this research, motivation factors such as salary, security, work environment and compensation & benefit have been correlated with job satisfaction, accumulated from the questionnaires filled by the employees of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in Karachi.Research indicates that basic motivational factors as identified from the literature review have a significant impact on employee's job satisfaction level, while the absence of motivational factors may lead to demotivation, as the level of motivation classifies employees either being satisfied or unsatisfied, in their career path. Furthermore, the analysis also indicates that basic factors such as health benefits, transport facilities, rewards and compensations, safety and security concerns are also given equal importance by the employees, in sustaining motivation levels and escalating job satisfaction. The results from regression analysis show a significance level at p

Today it is widely accepted that motivation is very important for managers since it is a way that leads to better work performance. This study investigates and ranks in order of importance the motivational factors that enhance motivation in the Maltese Courts of Justice (MCOJ). Moreover, it evaluates the impact of motivation on its employees' work performance. Both qualitative and quantitative techniques were used to collect and analyse information for this research. The data was collected from a sample of 30 employees and another sample of the MCOJ Managers. Later the responses are analysed with different methods and presented in different formats. This study compares the findings with literature and provides areas for discussions. The result is that MCOJ employees are motivated by different factors but the most influential are trust, recognition/ praise and interpersonal relationships. The impact of motivation on job performance is presented from two different perspectives: the management and the employees. These results are compared to each other where differences in opinion are revealed. At the end of the paper, the conclusion sums up all the findings and various recommendations to be implemented by the organisation are presented. Finally, the author recommends different areas where this research study can be used so that future research may reveal a better understanding of the concept of motivation and job performance.

This book was released on 2021-07-21 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Leadership and Human Resources - Employee Motivation, Employee Satisfaction, grade: 1,3, University of Mannheim, language: English, abstract: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation on work performance within the R&D environment and provide practical recommendations. Substantial research has been conducted to investigate the construct of motivation and to validate its impact on core business outcomes within varying environments. According to Rani and Lenka (2012), the motivational process affects an individual’s strength and persistence of behaviour. Thus, motivated individuals are activated to behave in a more creative, productive and persistent way. Prevailing literature validates this positive effect. For example, Deci and Ryan (2008a) argue that there is a significant link between motivation and positive work-related outcomes, such as psychological well-being and work performance. Considering this convincing evidence, further research tried to investigate this relationship within varying settings. An area that has aroused major attention is the R&D environment. Within this context managers face several obstacles in establishing high levels of motivation. Clarke (2002) mentions, for example, the differing values and expectations of R&D specialists, the uncertainty of outcomes and the difficulty in measuring the results. For high levels of motivation and performance to occur, managers need to respond to the needs of the R&D professionals without losing sight of the company’s major objectives. Based on the work of Deci, Vallerand, Pelletier and Ryan (1991) and their distinction between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, studies in the R&D management literature validate the importance of both motivational constructs within this context. However, in practice, organizations like BMW may be incentivized to primarily focus on extrinsic rewards. Extrinsic incentive systems, such as salary increases or bonuses, can easily be established, fairly measured and provide a clear link between the employees’ monetary motives and the organizations objectives. Further, intrinsic motivation may be neglected due to difficulties and increased efforts of implementing such incentives. As a result of this neglect of their workers' intrinsic needs and desires, the motivation within the R&D department and in turn the work performance may decline.

Book excerpt: Abstract: To be successful at work, individuals need to be productive. To be productive, environmental factors such proper equipment and abilities must be present, but employees must also possess some level of motivation to perform tasks correctly. To further uncover how and why employees are motivated this research project was designed to answer the overarching question: How are employees across organization types motivated by communication at work? Ten in-depth interviews, to redundancy, of full-time employees in different types of organizations comprise the starting data to answer this question. From this work, the researcher can offer greater insight into the motivation of employees by sharing their own words. After interview data were collected and transcribed, analysis provided six themes that impact employee motivation at work: work performance, attitude, goal setting, performance feedback, empowerment/power and job satisfaction. Those themes were narrowed to focus on the communication oriented themes, goal setting, performance feedback, empowerment/power and job satisfaction. To fulfill the purpose of this project, responses were then used to guide and create a survey study to assess the extent to which organizational employees see these factors as motivating them at work. Based on the analysis from the qualitative potion of this work, two research questions were composed: Which combination of the following best predicts motivation: goal setting, performance feedback, empowerment/power and job satisfaction? And, which combination of the following best predicts job satisfaction: goal setting, performance feedback, empowerment/power and motivation? To answer these questions, a survey instrument was created. To test the instrument a pretest was facilitated using 166 college students who were currently working, or who had worked in the past. The resulting online instrument was facilitated by a snowball sample, which produced 181 adult participants who were currently working full-time, or had worked full-time in the past. Results of this study are encouraging as they indicate that demographic information does not have a statistically significant impact workplace motivation but communication themes do have a statistically significant impact. A full data analysis, limitations and suggestions for future research are also provided.
