Motivation is an important factor for an organization. The final outcome of an organization is directly connected with the motivation of the employees. A motivated employee is an asset for the organization. According to Azeez (2017), performance appraisal based reward system is also a motivation factor for the employee. Employee recognition, promotions, training and development procedures can be some positive outcomes of a well-organized performance appraisal process. He also states that the training and development seems to be the most motivating factor within an organization.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment on my blog Vayanga, whilst I agree with your comment that rewards appraisal system is another aspect of employee motivation.
ReplyDeleteHom (2001) explains Reward strategy is the deliberate utilization of the pay system as an essential incorporated mechanism through which the individuals are directed towards the achievement of an organization strategic objective. “Incentive” may be defined as a stimulus or encouragement for grater action. Incentives are offered to employees to encourage them to greater effort in production than would normally be expected. Rewards are the payments made to the employees as compensation for the services rendered by them to the organization. Compensation is the benefits made to employees by employer for attracting and retaining personnel in the organization. Thus the concept of incentives / rewards implies increased willingness or motivation to work
Dear Ruwini, Motivation is a critical factor of the organization growth and by having a motivated employees it have a competitive advantage in the market as well. According Armstrong (2010) it is important to know how well employees been motivated? This has to be monitored otherwise even though the organization and HR thinks they provide motivational factors but the outcome of it never been take place. Therefore it is essential to have questions such as their career, achievements, disadvantages, spare time interest ect and monitor the level of motivation of the subordinates. This is actually the emotional intelligence which identify were to be triggered to have a productive motivation.
