Benefits of Employee Motivation to the Organizations

A motivated employee is an asset to the Organization based on their higher level of performance and contributes the following benefits to an organization (Armstrong, 2008);
        Improvement/increasing of the efficiency levels of employees
The standard of an employee does not depend merely on qualifications and abilities. Hence, the employee should fill the gap between ability and willingness in order to attain the best of their work performance. This position will lead to increase in productivity, reduction in cost of operations and improving overall efficiency levels in the work place. 
           
           Transformation of human resources into action 
Human resources could be utilized to its maximum, through Motivation. Any Organization requires physical, financial and human resources to achieve the set goals. The resources could be utilized to the maximum by building willingness within the employee to accomplish the goals.  Hence, it is evident that motivation helps organizations in capturing the best possible utilization of resources.

       Creating a friendly relationship.
Motivation is the main factor that leads to employee satisfaction. This could be directly coupled with incentive rewards plan which is elaborated by monetary and non-monetary incentives, Promotion opportunities for employees, disincentives for inefficient employees. Reduction of industrial dispute and reduction of unrest in employees, thereby embracing the change without much resistance. 

       Helps to achieve the organizational goals.
The goals of an organization can be achieved only when the maximum utilization of resources, a co-operative work environment and all employees work towards a given goal (Goal driven). Further, goals could be achieved based on co-ordination and co-operation, which could be obtained through motivation. 

       Organization will consist of a stable work force.
A stable work force is essential to the organization in terms of maintaining an unblemished reputation and goodwill. The loyalty will remain with the employees when they are considered / accepted as a part of the team as they are the main asset to the organization.

  1. Rožman, Treven & Čančer (2017) argued that ‘On average, older employees are motivated by flexibility in the workplace; autonomy at work; good interpersonal relationships in the workplace; the possibility of working at their own pace; respect among employees; equal treatment of employees by age; compliments from the employer for good work; the possibility of working from home; intergenerational cooperation, thereby reducing burdens on the workplace; cooperation with other employees; and the allocation of work by higher salary”.

  2. Hi Taniya,
    According to Maslow’s Needs hierarchy the older employees are in the higher stages namely esteem and self - actualization. In this connection, they have fulfilled and satisfied with the preliminary needs where they have gained relevant experience and expertise and looking forward for improvement of the organization with responsibility (Joseph, 2015).

    1. Hi Anupama,
      Hygiene motivators refer to Working Conditions, Salary and Benefits, Supervision, Job Security which are the basic needs to fulfilled to achieve Motivational factors (Asim, 2013). These factors do not boost the individual to attain high level of job satisfaction and extra performance of the job. However, these factors prevent dissatisfaction and poor job performance (Armstrong and Taylor 2014).

  4. Motivated employees can lead to increased productivity and allow an organization to achieve higher levels of output. Imagine having an employee who is not motivated at work. They will probably use the time at their desk surfing the internet for personal pleasure or even looking for another job. This is a waste of your time and resources ( Thompson, 2016).

    1. Agree with your comment. However, measurable performance driven by targets, may lead to motivation through fear due to performance related pay and incentives. Hence, the organization could be able to reduce / eliminate waste of resources and time (Armstrong, 2010).

  5. You have done good literature part on Employee motivation. According to institute for employment studies, commitment, motivation and organisational citizenship are key components for Engagement. Overlapping of these components creates engagement (Armstrong, 2014). Reynolds et al (2002: 34) commented: ‘The disposition and commitment of the learner – their motivation to learn – is one of the most critical factors affecting training effectiveness. Motivation helps to engagement, learning and development of the employee also(Armstrong, 2014).
