37.Propone the Nature of Motivation.
Motivation is an important factor which encourages persons to give their best performance and help in reaching enterprise goals. A strong positive motivation will enable the increased output of employees but a negative motivation will reduce their performance. A key element in personnel management is motivation.
Nature of Motivation:
Motivation is a psychological phenomena which generates within an individual. A person feels the lack of certain needs, to satisfy which he feels working more. The need satisfying ego motivates a person to do better than he normally does.
From definitions given earlier the following inferences can be derived:
1. Motivation is an inner feeling which energizes a person to work more.
2. The emotions or desires of a person prompt him for doing a particular work.
3. There are unsatisfied needs of a person which disturb his equilibrium.
4. A person moves to fulfill his unsatisfied needs by conditioning his energies.
5. There are dormant energies in a person which are activated by channelizing them into actions.
When a manager wants to get more work from his subordinates then he will have to motivate them for improving their performance. They will either be offered incentive for more work, or may be in the space of rewards, better reports, recognition etc., or he may instill fear in them or use force for getting desired work.
Types of Motivation:
1. Positive Motivation:
Positive motivation or incentive motivation is based on reward. The workers are offered incentives for achieving the desired goals. The incentives may be in the shape of more pay, promotion, recognition of work, etc. The employees are offered the incentives and try to improve their performance willingly.
According to Peter Drucker, the real and positive motivators are responsible for placement, high standard of performance, information adequate for self-control and the participation of the worker as a responsible citizen in the plant community. Positive motivation is achieved by the co-operation of employees and they have a feeling of happiness.
2. Negative Motivation:
Negative or fear motivation is based on force or fear. Fear causes employees to act in a certain way. In case, they do not act accordingly then they may be punished with demotions or lay-offs. The fear acts as a push mechanism. The employees do not willingly co-operate, rather they want to avoid the punishment.
Though employees work up-to a level where punishment is avoided but this type of motivation causes anger and frustration. This type of motivation generally becomes a cause of industrial unrest. In spite of the drawbacks of negative motivation, this method is commonly used to achieve desired results. There may be hardly any management which has not used negative motivation at one or the other time.
3.Financial Motivation:
Money plays an important role in motivation. To motivate the workers, management generally make use of financial incentives like bonus, retirement benefits, wages and salaries, medical reimbursement etc. However, such incentives may not always prove to be motivating factor. To keep the workers with the organization, in many cases, management may have to increase the financial incentives regularly. To attract and maintain good workforce, organizations have to maintain attractive wages and salaries. These monitory rewards should be competitive between various enterprises to attract good workforce.
4. Non-Financial Motivation
When the physiological and security needs are satisfied with the help of money, money stops to be a motivating force. So money is regarded as a maintenance factor. Employees have other needs like status and recognition in society. When survival needs are satisfied by money, people look for satisfying their ego needs. They want to achieve something in their lives. In order to motivate the employees, management may use the following non-financial incentives.
