4, Problem treatment
1. Behavior of employee is the 1st things to consider in motivation, it mean if the intention of
the employee is good from the heart of bottom then he will give good performance on his
task. Company desires a positive employee attitude within his or her organization for high
productivity and quality and vice versa. So it is the first things to find out what are his
intention, thinking and view towards his work and performance. We can find out the
employee behavior by attitude questionnaires, opinion poll, and unstructured interview
and focused group. it is important to find out what make employee bad behavior so to
improve employee behavior management have to conduct such program time to time.
2. Some time employee feel de- motivated (losing motivation) even they have good position
and well service facilities. De- motivation is very bad for the organization because it reduce
the production level; reduce quality product and impact on overall efficiency of the
company. If the person do not find The personal vs. financial satisfaction, individual vs.
company goal, miss understanding of the organization goal, policy, plan, working procedure,
feeling of equity, un respect of position, innovation, creativity then they will de-motivated so
its company responsibility to re motivate the employee by. Avoiding the command and
control, improvement coaching, provide recognition, communicating fully, listening
and involving style. And making the clear vision of the company to its employee. Try to
find out the exactas level of need that employee want.
3. To re motivate the employee the management of the company applied following steps.

Be motivated yourself.

Hold contests that pit employees in one department against employees in another
department or even between employees of the same department. Offer a fun reward for

5. The working surrounding and environment also influence the motivation of the workers. So
Keeping these things in mind our company want to make a safety, healthy and friendly
environment within the company. Many employees are from different culture and tradition so it is
the company to mix all different cultural employees into single culture of the organization, where
each of them can be easily involved on it. So they need not to be frustrated and feel odd with each
other while performing the work. Now days only rewarding the money are not sufficient, providing
autonomy and harmony environment is necessary with in organization.
6. Leadership style influence level of motivation. However, throughout a lifetime, mans motivation
is influenced by changing ambitions and/or leadership style he works under or socializes with. According to
the nature of project the leadership style can be created, but in this educated world many of the organization
adept the democratic leadership style, so we are preferring to adopt democratic leadership because it helps to
flow the information in both way it mean
leader

information

If this leadership style is used then employee also feels they are also the part of organization
because their opinion, view, advice and suggestion are also come in action. They feel they are also
decision maker so there is high possibility of motivation.

5. MOTIVATION THEORY
Motivation is the driving force behind our behavior. Or in other we can say motivation is Internal
and external factors that stimulate desire and energy in people to be continually interested in and
committed to a job, role, or subject, and to exert persistent effort in attaining a goal
Motivation results from the interactions among conscious and unconscious factors such as the (1)
intensity of desire or need, (2) incentive or reward value of the goal, and (3) expectations of the
individual and of his or her significant others.
Only the motivated staff or employee can keep keen interest towards the performance and perform
in effective and stander way.
MASLOWS HIERARCHY OF NEED

As a Maslows theory of motivation we can see that employee can be motivated if only their
different level of needs is fulfilled. Different people have different level of needs and want. The
assumption of this theory is that if the lower need is fulfilled then only we put forward to the higher
level of needs. The above five major drivers is our shape of behavior and arrange in level.

HERZBERGS HYGIENE FACTORS AND MOTIVATORS.

HYGIENE FACTORS
Relationship with other
Job security
Pay
Working conditions
The quality of management
Organizational policies

MOTIVATION FACTORS
Sense of achievement
The intrinsic value of job
Recognition by colleagues and management
Responsibility
Career progression and status

According to the Herzbergs theory it state that. Hygiene factors are those factors which satisfied
the employee but they not motivate the employee. So to motivate the employee first they should be
satisfied after that only the motivation factors (sense of achievement. Recognition, responsibility)
can make employee motivation towards their performance.

Relation with other

By comparisons of both theories we came to know that the Maslows 3 lower needs are equal to the
Herzbergs hygiene factors, similarly the 2 upper level of Maslows needs are equal to the
motivation factors of Herzbergs theory. So we can say there is direct relationship between the
motivation and the performance of employee to overall performance of the company.

7. CONCLUSION
Motivation can be properly or improperly achieved and can either hinder or improve productivity.
Management must understand that they are dealing with human beings, not machines, and that
motivation involves getting people to do something because they want to do it. This cannot be
achieved without knowing what is important to associates. Management must use the proper
incentives to achieve the desired results. Simply stated, if the proper motivational environment is in
place, managers will be rewarded with productive associates.
