Theories on Motivation
Motivation is a way of creating high level of enthusiasm to reach organizational
goals, and this situation is accommodated by satisfying some individual need.
Basically, motivation refers to achieving organizational main goals by satisfying
individual employee’s needs or demands. According to Pinder (1998 in Ambrose &
Kulik, 1999) work motivation may be regarded as a set of internal and external
forces that initiate work-related behavior, and determine its form, direction,
intensity and duration. The concept relates to the work context specifically, and
includes the influence on work behavior of both environmental forces, and those
inherent in the person. In the workplace, work motivation presents as an invisible,
personal and hypothetical construct that manifests itself in the form of
observable, and therefore measurable, behaviors. Improving productivity is one
big challenge that engages the attention of employers, whether private or public
by devising appropriate mechanism for motivating their workers. The seriousness
of this challenge can be understood from the management’s perception of the
strong functional correlation between employee motivation and organizational
productivity. For years, employers of labor have been experimenting with
different strategies in an attempt to relate effectively, the motivation of workers
to their work contribution.
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs must be one of the best known motivation theories
in the world. Maslow is a good starting point to start examining the different
motivation theories. Maslow starts with the idea that people always tend to want
something and what they want depends on what they already have. Maslow
proposed that there are five different levels of needs people have to seek for
satisfaction of their basic needs. (Mullins 2007, 258) The first or lowest level is
Physiological needs. Before these needs which include for example food, water,
shelter and clothing are fulfilled a person doesn’t have any other needs. When
people don’t feel hunger, thirst or cold, their needs are go to a second level. The
second lowest level is Security needs. In that level a person needs to feel secure in
his/her family and in a society, and feel protected against violence. The need for
safety is manifested with job security, savings and for insurances of health,
mental health, old age and disability. Love and belonging needs is the third level
of Maslow’s hierarchy. After feeling secure, people need to feel that they receive
and give love, they are appreciated and they have good friendships. The fourth
level is Esteem needs. It is the need to be unique with self-respect and to enjoy
esteem from other individuals. People want to evaluate themselves highly and
based on their achievement receive appreciation from other people. Lack of these
needs may cause inferiority, helplessness and weakness. Highest level of
Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is need of Self-actualization. The development of this
need is based on the satisfaction at the other four lower levels. It refers to the
need of self-fulfillment and to the tendency to become actualized in what a
person has potential.
Herzberg Motivation/Hygiene Theory
Herzberg’s motivation/hygiene theory is also known as the two-factor theory.
Herzberg started the study of job satisfaction in the 1950’s in Pittsburg. The basis
of Herzberg’s work is in the Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. He started with the
idea that what causes the job satisfaction are the opposite of those things that
cause job dissatisfaction. However, after studying thousands of books he couldn’t
draw any guidelines. He conducted a survey where he asked participants to
identify those things that made them feel positive with their job and those that
made them feel negative. As a result Herzberg found out that what makes people
happy is what they do or the way they’re utilized and what makes people
unhappy is the way they’re treated. Things that make people satisfied at work are
different from those that cause dissatisfaction so those two feelings can’t be
opposite. Based on these findings Herzberg created his theory of Motivators and
Hygiene factors. Both factors can motivate workers but they work for different
reasons. Hygiene factors tend to cause only short-term satisfaction to the workers
while motivators most probably cause longer-term job satisfaction.
Motivators:
Motivators, or satisfiers, are those factors that cause feelings of satisfaction at
work. These factors motivate by changing the nature of the work. They challenge
a person to develop their talents and fulfill their potential. For example adding
responsibility to work and providing learning opportunities to a person to work at
a higher level can lead to a positive performance growth in every task a person is
expected to do if the possible poor results are related to boredom of the task they
are supposed to accomplish. Motivators are those that come from intrinsic
feelings. In addition to responsibility and learning opportunities also recognition,
achievement, advancement and growth are motivation factors. These factors
don’t dissatisfy if they are not present but by giving value to these, satisfaction
level of the employees is most probably going to grow. (Bogardus 2007, 34) When
hygiene factors are maintained, dissatisfaction can be avoided. When, on the
other hand, dissatisfaction is most probable to occur, motivation can’t take place.
Introduction
Internship program is the systematic gathering, recording and analyzing of data
about the subject that a student goes to learn on the program. The aim of this
internship program is to connect practical knowledge with theoretical knowledge.
Now the world is a competitive world. So everybody has to be expert in both
practically and theoretically. It is very important to have a practical application of
the knowledge acquired from any academic course of the study. Only a lot of
theoretical knowledge will become fruitless if it is not applied in the practical life.
So I need proper application of our knowledge to get some benefit from our
theoretical knowledge to make it more fruitful. Such an application can be
possible through internship. Generally the internship report title is related to
business and management field, because of every BBA student have to take the
following core course, Financial Accounting, Business Communication,
Management, Marketing, Business Economics etc, so has to work logically,
technically and scientific way. In the increasing scientific business environment,
participating shaping their ability to make effective and business decision and
increase their sensitivity to the behavioral and environmental facts, which effect
that decision. The BBA program is giving the student theoretical and practical
knowledge about his interested area. The BBA report should dominate the
individual student’s capacity for some creative potential and original approach to
solving practical problem today’s business world. 9 The internship program
exercise a significant importance as it enables a student to familiar with the
practical business activities. The student work closing with the people of an
organization and learn about the function of that organization. This program
enables a student to develop his analytical skill and scholastic aptitude. The
Industry sector of Bangladesh and doing labor incentive job. This research has a
very specific discuss about the labor control among the Bashundhara Tissue
Industry ltd. During my internee, I have faced various obstacles but the grace of
almighty Allah and by the help of some related person; I have overcome those
problems successfully.
Objectives of the Study
The main objective of the study is to gather practical knowledge regarding labor
control policy of the “Bashundhara Tissue Industry Ltd”. Theoretical classes of
BBA provide us theories regarding different subjects whereas practical orientation

Methodology of the Study
Research methodology
The objective of research is to portray accurately the characteristics of a
particular individual, situation or a group. Research refers to the systematic
method consisting of enunciating the problem, formulating a hypothesis and
collecting the facts or data, analyzing the facts and reaching certain conclusions
either in the form of solution towards the concerned problem or in certain
generalizations for some theoretical formulation. Research is the process of
gathering, recording and analyzing critical and relevant facts about any problem in
any branch of human activities. It refers to critical and searches into study and
investigation of problem, a proposed course of action a hypothesis or a theory.
Research refers to a search for knowledge. In facts research is and art of scientific
investigation. The research methodology comprises of all activity that carried on
in connection with compensation packages. The purpose of research is to discover
answer question through the application of scientific procedures. The main aim of
research is to find out the truth which is hidden and which has not been
discovered as yet.
In brief, the research process consists of five steps:
Define the problem and research objectives;
Developing the research plan;
Collecting the information;
Analyzing the information;
Presenting the finding.
Sources of Data
Collection of facts (raw facts) is known as data. There are two types of data are
available based on source. These are: Primary sources of Data. Secondary sources
of Data.
Primary Data
The data collected for a purpose or when the researcher investigates particular
problem at hand is known as primary data.
Sources of primary data
Primary data for this study collected through direct observation and personal
interview
Secondary data
When an investigator uses data, which have already been collected by other for
another purpose, such data is called secondary data. This type of data is primary
data for the agency who collected them for the first time and become secondary
data for someone else who uses these data for his/her own purpose.
Sources of Secondary Data
The main data have been used in this study are basically are of primary data.
Secondary data for this study was collected from the organization and several
reports.
Additional notes: Townley (1994) argues that much of the confusion over the role
of human resource managers is due to two factors:-
topic we’ll discuss should therefore provide you with the concepts and
techniques you need to carry out the “people” or personnel aspects of your
management job. These include:
After comparing future demand and internal supply, managers can make
plans to manage predicted shortfalls or overstaffing. If a shortfalls is
predicted, new employees can be haired, present employees can be retrained
and transferred into the understaffed area, individuals approaching
retirement can be convinced to stay on, or labor-saving or productivity-
enhancing systems can be installed.
Advertising (often via agents for specialist posts) or the use of other local
media (e.g. commercial radio)
Where the organization does its own printed advertising it is useful if it has
some identifying logo as its trade mark for rapid attraction and it must take
care not to offend the sex, race, etc. antidiscrimination legislation either
directly or indirectly. The form on which the applicant is to apply (personal
appearance, letter of application, completion of a form) will vary according
to the posts vacant and numbers to be recruited.
It is very desirable in many jobs that claim about experience and statements
about qualifications are thoroughly checked and that applicants unfailingly
complete a health questionnaire (the latter is not necessarily injurious to the
applicants’ chance of being appointed as firms are required to employ a
percentage of disabled people).
Before letters of appointment are sent any doubts about medical fitness or
capacity (in employments where hygiene considerations are dominant)
should be resolved by requiring applicants to attend a medical examination.
This is especially so where, as for example in the case of apprentices, the
recruitment is for a contractual period or involves the firm in training costs.
(All of these need skilled testing and assessment.) In more senior posts
other techniques are:
Leaderless groups
Command exercises
Group problem solving
Assess trends in
Who needs to be trained?
What do they need to know?
What do they already know?

When employees are trained and settled into their jobs, one of
management’s next concerns is performance appraisal. Performance
appraisal is a formal assessment of how well employees are doing their job.
Employees’ performance should be evaluated regularly for many reasons.
One reason is that performance appraisal may be necessary for validating
selection devices or assessing the impact of training programs. A second
reason is administrative- to aid in making decisions
about pay raises, promotions, and training. Still another reason is to provide
feedback to employees to help them improve their present performance and
plan future careers.
Errors or biases can occur in any kind of rating or ranking system. One
common problem is regency error-the tendency to base judgments on the
subordinate’s most recent performance because it is most easily recalled.
Often a rating or ranking is intended to evaluate performance
over an entire time period, such as six months or a year, so the recency error
does introduce error into the judgment. Other errors include overuse of one
part of the scale-being too lenient, being too severe, or giving everyone a
rating of “average.”
As a personnel function recruiting can be viewed as a major human
resource planning program designed to attract the qualified work force
required to meet future organizational needs.
Recruiting also provides a means of achieving affirmative action goals set
by human resource planners and policy maker. Recruiting also serves to
attract workers to unexpected job vacancies caused by turnover and to new
positions created by sudden demands for goods and services of an
organization.
