Unit 5 – Motivation

In this unit we will learn about:


• What is motivation?
• What is the importance of motivation

• What are the different motivational theories?
• What are the ways by which organisations motivate their employees?

• What is the difference between motivation and inspiration?


Introduction

The biggest challenge faced by the organisations is to get the work done by their employees. This
entirely depends on the motivation levels of the employees. Their motivation is a result of their
needs and organisational expectations. If the employees are adequately motivated, the organisation
will be able to meet its objectives.

The term ‘motivation’ is derived from a latin word movere which means to move. A motive is an
inner state that encourages, activates or moves and that directs behaviour towards goals. Thus,
motivation is psychological force within an individual that sets him in motion for the achievement
of certain goals or satisfaction of certain needs.

Motives are somewhere a reflection of human needs. E.g. A factory worker knows if he will
complete his work on time, he will be rewarded with a bonus or some kind of financial incentive
which can be spent. Thus, here we can understand that needs are physiological and psychological
drives. On the other hand, drives for which an individual has money and wants to spend become
wants. The factors which are utilised for satisfying or motivating people are called incentives.

Definition of Motivation

Several authors have defined motivation in different ways.

According to Robert Dublin, “Motivation is the complex set of forces starting and keeping a
person at work in an organization.”

According to Stanley Vance, “Motivation represents an unsatisfied need which creates a state of
tension or disequilibrium, causing the individual to march in a goal-directed pattern, towards
restoring a state of equilibrium by satisfying the need.”
