2. LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1. Motivation
There is no standard definition of motivation , but there are a number of common
agreements. Motivation has to do three broads areas as with respect to individual behaviors
(Anderson , 1989.pp 63).
According to Bernard Berenson and Bram A. Steiner, ' motivation is an energized action at
channels behavior towards the goals .' The employees' motivation has a major impact on
economic performance of the firm. The firm uses different essential resources for its economic
performances. Essentially , human resource is the most and significant and ingredient part of
resource and managers apply variety of motivational scheme to give employee s' highly
productive and always they stand for a common good of the firm(staff@ incentive foutes.com )
Man is not always satisfied with it on hand. He is always in need of something which
he does not have
Human needs are unlimited, that is if one need is satisfied the other needs will be
activate and the process continues indefinitely (Daver, 1994.pp14). Maslow
categorized the needs into five categories as indicated below:
The physiological need: it involves the need for basic things like food, water, shelf,
and sex. When these ' fundamental needs are not met, no other higher level needs
will act as motivation. In another way, once primary needs are satisfied, safety or
security needs are activities.
Safety needs: includes protection from physical harm, economic disaster and futuristic
needs in that they represent a desire to ensure ability to physical needs.
Social needs: is a need for belongingness and love that come into play only when
physical and safety are reasonable secured.
Esteem needs: s include self-respect, and feeling of competency and the need for
recognition and administration in the eyes of others.
Self-actualization: the process of making actual \ persons perception of his/her real life.
A rarely attained self-actualization impulse to become when one is capable of achieving
ones full potential in the most creative self-motivated way(Resenabaum,1982:pp75)
Existence needs: these needs are roughly compatible to the physiological and safety
needs of Maslow' s models are satisfied primarily by material in centimes. These
include the need for shelter, physical and safety from threats on people's existence
and well-being.
Relatedness need: these roughly correspond to social and esteem in Maslow's
hierarchy. These needs are satisfied by personal relationship and social interaction with
others. It involves open communication and honest exchange of thought and feelings
with other organizational members.
Growth needs: These are needs to develop and grow and reach five potential that person is
capable reaching. Their needs are fulfilled by strong personal involvement in organizational
environment and look for new opportunities and challenges. ERG differs from Maslow in
proposing that may be motivated by more than one kind of need at the time. While Maslow
proposes that in the hierarchy needs, a person will satisfy the lower level of
Needs before he moves up to the next level of needs and will stay at the need until it is
satisfied. ERG theory suggests that if the person is frustrated in satisfying his needs at a given
level, he will move back to the lower level of need (Wright Patric, 1996, pp364-366)
David McClelland ' s theory and his associate John Atkinson proposed another important
theory of motivation and achievement of motivation. According to their theory, organization
offers an opportunity to satisfy at least three needs (Davis ,1989.pp:104)
It has often been said that a happy employee a productive and must be satisfied with his
job. Job status faction can be defined as the event of positive feeling of attitude that the
individuals have towards their job feels, good about it and value his job highest on other
and serious job dissatisfaction results in stress and tension which is usually the cause of a
variety of physiological disorder( Chandra, 1995:87).
Absenteeism: job satisfaction is highly related to absenteeism. Studies have found that less
satisfied employees are more likely to be absent from work due to avoidable reason.
Management must be concerned with excessive absenteeism for it disrupts
Maintaining stability
Employees are a company livelihood. How they feel about the work they are doing and the
result received from that the worker directly impact on organizational performances and
ultimately its stability. For instance, if an organization's employees are highly motivated and
protected, they will do whatever is necessary to achieve the goal of the organization as well as
keep track of industry performance to address any potential challenges. This two-prong
approach builds the organization's ability. An organization whose employees have low
motivation is completely vulnerable to both internal and external challenges because its
employees are not going the extra mile to maintain the organization's stability and unstable
organization.
Reduction in productivity
Lack of motivation equates to less work being accomplished, productivity does not disappear ;
it is usually transferred to aspects not related the organization's work. Things like personal
conversation, Internet surfing, or taking longer lunches cost the organization's time and
money reduces productivity can be detrimental to an organization performance and future
success.
At the time the study has been conducted, the researcher collected the information via
different data collecting tools. The gathered had will be edited, classified and errors will be
omitted and finally the data processed , analyzed and interpreted carefully. Lastly, the
effectively processed , analyzed, and interpreted data would be presented by using descriptive
