CHAPTER: 1 INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Human beings are a resource to an organization. Like another resource they represent an investment whose development and utilization require proper managing. There is a fundamental trust the people are organizations most important assets. Performance results from the interaction of physical, financial and human resource. The first two are inanimate; they are translated into productivity only when human element is introduced. In dealing with employees, however an intangible factor of will, violence or freedom of choice is introduced, and workers can increase or decrease their productivity as they choose. This human quality gives rise to need for motivation. Motivation is one of the most important factors affecting human behavior. Motivation not only affects other factors like perception and Learning but also affect the total performance of an individual in organizational setting. This is the reason why managers attach great importance to motivation in an organization. At one time, employees were considered just another input into the production of goods and services. What perhaps changed this way of thinking about employees was reached, referred to as the Hawthorne studies, conducted by Elton Mayo from 1924 to 1932(Dickson, 1973). This study found employees are not motivated solely by money and employee behavior is linked to their attitudes (Dickson, 1973) The Hawthorne studies began the human relations approach to management, where by the needs and motivations of employees become the primary focus of managers (Bedeian, 1993).
RESEARCH PROBLEM The research problem in this study is associated with the motivation of employees of SYNDICATE BANK. There are a variety of factors that influence a persons level of motivation. Some of these factors include 1. The pay and benefits 2. The perceived fairness of promotion system within a company 3. Quality of the working conditions 4. Leadership and social relationships 5. Employee recognition 6. Job security 7. Career development opportunities etc. motivated employees are a great asset to any organization. It is because the motivation and Job Satisfaction is clearly linked. Hence this study is focusing on the employee motivation in the organization.
The study is intended to evaluate motivation of employees in the organization. A good motivational program is essential to achieve goal of the organization. If efficient motivational programmes of employees are made not only in this particular organization but also any other organization.

INTRODUCTION
Rensis Likerthas called motivation as the core of management. Motivation is an effective instrument in the hands of the management in inspiring the work force .It is the major task of every manager to motivate his subordinate or to create the will to work among the subordinates. It should also be remembered that the worker may be immensely capable of doing some work, nothing can be achieved if he is not willing to work .creation of a will to work is motivation in simple but true sense of term. Motivation is an important function which very manager performs for actuating the people to work for accomplishment of objectives of the organization .Issuance of well conceived instructions and orders does not mean that they will be followed .A manager has to make appropriate use of motivation to enthuse the employees to follow them. Effective motivation succeeds not only in having an order accepted but also in gaining a determination to see that it is executed efficiently and effectively. In order to motivate workers to work for the organizational goals, the managers must determine the motives or needs of the workers and provide an environment in which appropriate incentives are available for their satisfaction .If the management is successful in doing so; it will also be successful in increasing the willingness of the workers to work. This will increase efficiency and effectiveness of the organization .There will be better utilization of resources and workers abilities and capacities.
The word motivation has been derived from motive which means any idea, need or emotion that promots a man into action. Whatever may be the behavior of man, there is some stimulus behind it .Stimulus is dependent upon the motive of the person concerned. Motive can be known by studying his needs and desires. There is no universal theory that can explain the factors influencing motives which control mans behavior at any particular point of time. In general, the different motives operate at different times among different people and influence their behaviors. The process of motivation studies the motives of individuals which cause different type of behavior.
Meaning of motivation: Motivation has been variously defined by scholars. Usually one or more of these words are included in the definition: desires, wants, aims, goals, drives, movies and incentives. Motivation is derived from the Latin word Move on which means to move. Human motives are internalized goals within individuals. A motive is an inner state that energies activates, or moves and directs or channels behavior towards goals.
Definition: 1. Motivation is the complex forces starting and keeping a person at work in the organization. 2. Motivation is the various drives within or environmental forces surrounding individual that stimulate or attract them in a specific manner.
3. Motivation is the art of understanding motives satisfying them to direct and sustain behavior towards the accomplishment of organization goals. 4. Motivation is the process of operating organizational conditions which will impel employees of any emotion or desire operation ones will and prompting or driving at it to action. Motivation consists of the three interaction and interdependent elements of needs, drives and goals. Needs: These are the deficient, and create whenever there is a physiological or psychological iBBAlance. Drive or motives: These are set to alleviate needs. These are action oriented and provide an energizing thrust toward goal accomplishment. They are the very heart of the motivation process. Goal: Goals are anything which will alleviate a need and reduce a drive. Nature of motivation: Following are some of the characteristics of motivation derive from the definitions given by various authors. 1. Based on motives: Motivation is base on individuals motive which are internal to individual. These motives are in the form of feeling that the individual lacks something. 2. Goal directed behavior: Motivation Leads to goal directed behavior. A goal directed behavior is one which satisfied the causes for which behavior takes place. Motivation has profound influence on human behavior.
3. Related to satisfaction: Motivation is related to satisfaction. Satisfaction is refers to the contentment experiences of an individual which we derives out of needs fulfillment. 4. Complex process: Motivation is a complex process; complexity emerges because of the nature if needs a types of behavior that need attempted to satisfied those needs. Significance of Motivation: Motivation involves getting the members of the group to pull weight effectively, to give their loyalty to the group, to carry out properly the purpose of the organization. The following results may be expected if the employees are properly motivated. 1. The workforce will be better satisfied if the management provides them with opportunities to fulfill their physiological and psychological needs. The workers will cooperate voluntarily with the management and will contribute their maximum towards the goals of the enterprise. 2. Workers will tend to be as efficient as possible by improving upon their skills and knowledge so that they are able to contribute to the progress of the organization. This will also result in increased productivity. 3. The rates of labors turnover and absenteeism among the workers will be low. 4. There will be good human relations in the organization as friction among the workers themselves and between the workers and the management will decrease. 5. The number of complaints and grievances will come down. Accident will also be low. 6. There will be increase in the quantity and quality of products. Wastage and scrap will be less. Better quality of products will also increase the public image of the business.
Types of needs: There are many needs which an individual may have and there are various ways in which may be classified? Needs may be natural, biological phenomenon in an individual or these may develop over the period of time through learning. Thus, need may be grouped into 3 categories:
1. Primary need 2. Secondary need 3. General needs 1) Primary needs: These are also known as physiological, biological, basic, or unclear needs. These needs are common in human beings through their intensity differs. 2) Secondary needs: As contrast to primary needs, these are not natural but are learned by the individual through experience and interaction. Emergency of these needs depends in learning. 3) General needs: Through a separate classification for general needs is not always given, such a category seems necessary because there are a number of needs which lie in the grey area between the primary and secondary needs. In fact, there are certain needs such as need for competence, curiosity, manipulation, affection, etc. Theories of Motivation: Understanding what motivated employees and how they were motivated was the focus of many researchers following the publication of the Hawthorne study results (Terpstra, 1979). Six major approaches that have led to our understanding of motivation are McClellands Achievement Need Theory, Behavior Modification theory; Abraham H Mallows need hierarchy or Deficient theory of motivation. J.S. Adams Equity Theory, Vrooms Expectation Theory, Two factor Theory.
McClellands Achievement Need Theory: According to McClelland there are three types of needs Need for Achievement (n Ach): This need is the strongest and lasting motivating factor. Particularly in case of persons who satisfy the other needs. They are constantly pre occupied with a desire for improvement and lack for situation in which successful outcomes are directly correlated with their efforts. They set more difficult but achievable goals for themselves because success with easily achievable goals hardly provides a sense of achievement. Need for Power (n Pow): It is the desire to control the behavior of the other people and to manipulate the surroundings. Power motivations positive applications results in domestic leadership style, while it negative application tends autocratic style. Need for affiliation (n Aff): It is the related to social needs and creates friendship. This results in formation of informal groups or social circle.
Behavioral Modification Theory: According to this theory people behavior is the outcome of favorable and unfavorable past circumstances. This theory is based on learning theory. Skinner conducted his researches among rats and school children. He found that stimulus for desirable behavior could be strengthened by rewarding it at the earliest. In the industrial situation, this relevance of this theory may be found in the installation of financial and non financial incentives.
More immediate is the reward and stimulation or it motivates it. Withdrawal of reward incase of low standard work may also produce the desired result. However, researches show that it is generally more effective to reward desired behavior than to punish undesired behavior. The water but you cannot force it to drink; it will drink only if it's thirsty - so with people. They will do what they want to do or otherwise.
Physiological
J.S Adams Equity Theory :
Employee compares her/his job inputs outcome ratio with that of reference. If the employee perceiv es inequity, she/he will act to correct the inequity: lower productivity, reduced quality, increased absenteeism, voluntary resignation. Vrooms Expectation Theory: Vrooms theory is based on the belief that employee effort will lead to performance and performance will lead to rewards (Vroom, 1964). Reward may be either positive or negative. The more positive the reward the more likely the employee will be highly motivated. Conversely, the more negative the reward the less likely the employee will be motivated. Two Factor Theory: Douglas McGregor introduced the theory with the help of two views; X assumptions are Conservative in style Assumptions are modern in style. X Theory Individuals inherently dislike work. People must be coerced or controlled to do work to achieve the objectives. People prefer to be directed
Y Theory People view work as being as natural as play and rest People will exercise self direction and control towards achieving objectives they are Committed to People learn to accept and seek responsibility.
Types of motivation: There are 2 types of motivation. They are 1. Positive motivation. 2. Negative motivation. Positive motivation is a process of attempting to influence others to do your will through the possibility of gain or reward. Incentive motivation is the pull mechanism. Negative motivation or fear motivation is based force or fear. Fear causes person to act in a certain way because they are afraid of the consequences if they dont Fear motivation is the push mechanism. The objective of motivation is to create condition in which people are willingly to work with zeal, initiative, interest and enthusiasm, with a high personal and group. Moral satisfaction with a sense of responsibility, loyalty and discipline and with pride and confidence in a most cohesive manner so that the goal of an organization are achieved effectively.
EMPLOYEE MOTIVATION IN THE WORK PLACE: The job of a manager in the workplace is to get things done through employees. To do this the manager should be able to motive employees. To understand motivation one must understand human nature itself. Human nature can be very simple, yet very complex too. An understanding and appreciation of this is a prerequisite of effective employee motivation in the workplace and therefore effective management and leadership. Motivation is the key to performance improvement: Performance is considered to be a functional improvement: Job performance =f (ability) (motivation) Ability in turn depends on education, experience and training and its improvement is a slow and long process. On the other hand it can be improved quickly. As a guideline, there are broadly 7 strategies for motivation. Positive reinforcement Effective discipline and punishment Treating people fairly Satisfying employee needs Setting work related goals Restructuring job Based rewards on job performance
Basic principles to remember by manager for motivating employees: 1. Motivating employees starts with motivating yourself 2. Always work to align goals of the organization with goals of employees
3. Key to support the motivation of your employees understands what motivates each of them. 4. Recognize that supporting employees motivation is a process, not a task. 5. Support employees policies by using motivation by organization systems. Worker motivation must also be viewed from 2 perspectives: 1. Inner drive 2. Outer (external) motivators. A persons inner drives push and propel him/her towards an employer, a particular job, career, line of study, or other activity. The outer (external) motivators are the mirror image the employer or outside world offers in response to the inner drives. In order to attract the cream of the crop of available workers, same as in his/her dealings with customers, the employer not only tries to satisfy these basic needs individual workers have. Most workers need to: 1. Earn wages that will enable them to pay for basic necessities and additional luxuries such as the purchase of a home, or travel 2. Save for and enjoy old age security benefits 3. Have medical and other insurance coverage 4. Acquire friends at work 5. Win recognition 6. Be acknowledge and rewarded for special efforts and contributions 7. Be able to advance in life and career-wise 8. Have opportunities for self-development 9. Improve their skills, knowledge, and know-how
10. Realize their ideal(s) The employer responds to those needs by offering and providing: 1. Employment 2. Adequate pay 3. Assistance to workers for their special needs (such as child care arrangements, transportation, flexible work schedule). 4. Job security 5. Clear company policies 6. Clear and organized work procedures 7. A safe work environment 8. Medical coverage and other benefits 9. An atmosphere of team work and cooperation 10. Social activities 11. Reward and recognition programs 12. Open lines of communication programs 13. Systematic feedback 14. Motivation programs 15. Opportunities for promotion 16. Company/business information 17. Information on customer feedback 18. Sharing of company goals and objectives 19. Information on the market situation and industry 20. Future expectations
It is important that the employer discover other extraordinary needs applicants have before hiring them and know beforehand whether she/he can satisfy those needs or not. An employee may have: Family responsibilities and be unable to work shifts, over time, or weekends. Heavy financial responsibilities which he/she can meet only by working at 2 jobs, leading to exhaustion, sick leave, a deficient work performance A desperate financial need for additional overtime and weekend remuneration Premature expectations of swift promotions.
In addition to needs and drives, workers have expectations from their employer-they expect: A knowledgeable, experienced, expert employer Clear and fair policies, procedures, and employment practices Business integrity Clear job description Two-way communication Effective management and supervision Positive discipline Good company repute Good customer relations Company survival Opportunity for personal growth Company growth A share in the companys success.
Most of these needs, expectations and aspirations are unexpressed-it is up to the employer to develop a good system of company communications, employee relations, Motivation that will lead to an environment of openness, cooperation, team work, and motivation that will benefit all the parties involved. Motivational methods: 1. Building confidence: Facing a challenge, meeting it and mastering it help build confidence. 2. Team building: Team unite and work together when they identify a common purpose whether the aim is the tallest tower made out of newspaper, or a game of rounders on the park. Competition in teams or groups creates teams and ignites team effort 3. Coaching and Training: Games and activities provide a perfect vehicle for explaining the Motivation process (train the trainer for example) to managers, team leaders and trainers. 4. Personal motivation style and learning: Everyone is different. Taking part in new games and activities outside of the work situation illustrates peoples different strengths and working style preferences. Mutual respect develops when people see skills and attributes in others that they didnt know existed.
5. Continual development: Introducing people, staff or employees to new experiences opens their minds to new avenues of personal development, and emphasizes the opportunity for continuous learning that is available to us all.
6. Improving empathy and communications for motivation To communicate we must understanding the other person. Empathy and intuitive skills are right-side brain of the brain, which we use when we communicate and understand others. Team activities and games promote communications and better mutual understanding-essential for good organizational performance.

The performance appraisal activities really play a major role in motivating the employees of the organization. It is a major factor that makes an employee feels good in his work and results in his satisfaction too. The organization can still concentrate on specific areas which are evolved from this study in order to make the motivational programs more effective. Only if the employees are properly motivated- they work well and only if they work well the organization is going to benefit out it.

Skills of the employees should be appreciated. Better carrier development opportunities should be given to the employees for their improvement
If the centralized system of management is changed to a decentralized one, then there would be active and committed participation of staff for the success of the organization
