extent that a person’s job fulfills his dominant needs and is consistent with his expectations
and values, the job will be satisfying. The feeling would be positive or negative depending

family members, emotionalism, etc.
Statically treatments of the individual item in the four areas are given above.
It is generally assumed that satisfied employees are more productive. But research
reveals no relationship between employee motivation and productivity. Studies revealed that
workers with positive attitude job attitudes were more productive than those with negative
attitudes. In other studies job attitudes and productivity are not related and in some studies
there was negative correlation between job attitudes and productivity. After reviewing
several studies Bray Field and Crockett concluded that employee motivation did not
necessarily go together. Employees in highly productive group were not more likely than
employee in the low productivity groups to be satisfied with their jobs. A worker may be
satisfied with the work environment but may produce more to prove his abilities to
management. On the other hand, a highly satisfied worker may not produce more and get
away with it because he may be friendly with the supervisor.
DETERMINANTS OF EMPLOYEE MOTIVATION
The various factors influencing employee motivation may be classified into two
categories:
Environmental factors , and
I.
Personal factors.
II.
Environmental Factors:
These factors relate to the work environment, main among which are as follows:
Pay and Promotion: All other things being equal, higher pay and better
3.
opportunities for promotion lead to higher employee motivation.
Work group: Man is a social animal and likes to be associated with other’s
4.
interaction in the work group help to satisfy social psychological needs and,
therefore, isolated worker tend to be dissatisfied. Employee motivation is
generally high when an individual is accepted by his peer and he has a high
need for affiliation.
Personal Factors:
Personal life exercises a significant influence on employee motivation. The main
elements of personal life are given below:
Age: Some research studies reveal a positive correlation between age and
1.
employee motivation. Workers in advanced age group tend to be more satisfied
probably because they have adjusted with their job conditions. However, there is a
sharp decline after a point perhaps because an individual aspires for better and
more prestigious jobs in the later years of his life.
Sex: One study revealed that women are less satisfied than men due to fewer job
2.
opportunities for females. But female workers may be more satisfied due to their
lower occupational aspirations. But this statement may not be applicable now at
presents level.
Marital status: The general impression is that married employees are more
4.
dissatisfied due to their greater responsibilities. But such employees may be
more satisfied because they value their jobs more than unmarried workers.
According to this theory a person is satisfied when he gets from his job what he wants.
The more he wants something or the more important it is to him, the more satisfied he is
when he received it. In other words, “employee motivation will vary directly with the extent
to which those needs of an individual which can be satisfied actually”.
Vroom views satisfaction in terms of the positively valued outcomes that a job
provides to a person. Thus, employee motivation is positively related to the degree to which
one’s needs are fulfilled. What may satisfy one individual may not satisfy the other due to
EQUITY THEORY~
Under this theory, it is believed that a person’s employee motivation depends upon
his perceived equity as determined by his input-output balance of others. Every individual
compares his rewards with those of a ‘reference group’. If he feels his rewards are equitable
in comparison with others doing similar work, he feels satisfied, employee motivation is thus
a function of the degree to which job characteristics meet the desires of the reference group.
For example, one study of the effects of community features on employee motivation
revealed that workers living in a well to do neighborhood felt less satisfied then those living
in poor neighborhoods.
Equity theory takes into account not only the needs of an individual but also the
opinion of the reference group to which the individual looks for guidance.

EQUITY-DISCREPANCY THEORY~
This is a combination of equity and discrepancy theories. Lawler has adopted the
difference approach of discrepancy theory rather than the ratio approach of equity theory.
From equity theory the concept of comparison has been selected to serve as an intervening
variable. Under this theory satisfaction is defined as the difference between the outcomes
that one perceives he actually received and outcomes that one feels he should receives in
comparison with others, when the individual feels that what he actually received is equal to
what he perceives he should received there is satisfaction. Thus an individual’s reception of
his reward is influenced by more than just the objective amount of that factor. Because of
this psychological influence the same amount of reward often can be seen quite differently
by two people, to one it can be a larger amount, while to another person it can be a small
amount.

So, it is clear from the graph that most of the employee’s are satisfied with their job.
Due to fulfillment of there needs and is consistent with his expectations and values, the job
will be satisfying.
The feeling would be positive or negative depending upon the need is satisfied or not.
Thus, employee motivation is an employee’s general attitude towards the job

the educational facilities provided to the wards of the employees.
According to me people availing these educational facilities. There are approximately one
college and 12 schools at BHEL. The organization is trying to give as much better education
to the children, the reason for the dissatisfaction for some of the employees may be the
quality of the education.
Q13. What other measures you would like to give for employee motivation?
Since the employees which were taken under the prior consideration includes the
executives(15%),supervisors(35%) and the worker class(50%). So the responses for the
above question asked shows variety in thinking.
BHEL management should give some opportunity for change in jobs as per skill and
attitude.(suggested by many of the worker class employees)
Advance job training should be provided.(suggested by worker class employees)
Fear and pressure on workers.(very few agreed in context with fear but maximum
favoured the pressure of work)
This question was more accurately answered by the worker class and supervisors up to
some extent, so the main focus was paid towards the worker class and they have expressed
the following facts:
Proper sitting facility in offices as per designation.(by supervisors)
Pension schemes for old age are made for BHEL employees.( by workers)
Availability of manpower and material and above all cares for employees.(by
supervisors)
Better relationship should be developed between the workers of the plant. (by
supervisors)
Management people should have cooperative nature.(by workers)
Q15. What other perks you expect for motivation, other than the salary?
This question again reveals ,that what according to them can motivate them, keeping
the perks aside. Some of the finest views are shared by the workers and this was the
question which took the maximum time for its completion and here the views :-------
Other than salary perks like provident fund, bonus, & other allowances help
motivation to some extent.
FINDINGS
Out of the 60 employees, all most all the executives are quite satisfied with the job
they withhold, but in contrast , the other two categories shows the variation. The
supervisors make the 35% contribution to the data ie, about 21 in number & out of
these 16 were quite satisfied which makes 76% approx. and the worker class
which constitutes about 50% of the total sample ie, 30 in number & out of these
18-19 were quite satisfied which makes 60-63% approx.
Almost all the employees of BHEL are very much satisfied with the medical
facility that they get from BHEL Hardwar. The reason for some dissatisfaction that
has been shown by some of the employees that includes the worker class(they are 3
in number).
The housing facility which the employees of BHEL Hardwar are getting are
according to them are the best which the organization can provide, well ventilated
and good houses are there with the better sanitation facilities and as the result of
this the percentage of the fully satisfied employees are to the larger side ie, 98%
approx.
The interesting and quite mixed responses had come into light when the question
regarding the promotion policy was asked form the employees. About 23% of the
employees(ie, about 14 in number) were agreed to the promotion policy adopted
by BHEL, about 65% of the employees(ie 39 in number ) were disagreed(it
includes worker class to the maximum extent) and about 12% of the
employees(ie, 7 in number) were strongly disagreed to the fact that the promotion
policy adopted by BHEL is not appropriate upto the great extent(it includes some
supervisors and some worker class employees)
According to me, BHEL working conditions are good and is fully met with: Proper
lightening, Noise, Ventilation and temperature, Mental environment, Social
environment.
When asked from the employees that how they rate their job on the 5-point scale
the responses were towards the positive side, very few had rated their job under 3
point except one, who belonged to the quality control department of BHEL, when
asked why he is rating his job to such a low point on scale the answer was quite
shocking, he said that the major reason for his low rating is that he has not work to
do in the department.
BHEL provides good educational facilities to the employees children and there are
approximately 1 college and 12 schools at BHEL.
SUGGESTIONS
BHEL should make arrangement for the workers to skill them in all fields & in all
kinds of job regular training & education programs should be arranged for the
supervisor and executive so as to uplift them as multi-skilled & to end monotony. In
this way, the workers would also enjoy their work.
The management is requested to educate the employees about the policies of the
organization. Even there are some policies, which are to be amended as per
suggestions of employees.
It is suggested that the procedure should be made more transparent to the employees.
Not only in papers but in practical employees should be strictly allowed to participate
in policymaking. It is suggested that there should be proper communication
establishment within the company right from top to lower level so that the employees
can convey there problems & give suggestion to the top management & they should
also be accepted accordingly this will indeed also motivate the employees.
