A comprehensive study on employee motivation

ABSTRACT:
Employee motivation describes an employees intrinsic enthusiasm about and
drives to accomplish work. Every employee is motivated about something in his or
her life. Motivating employees about work is the combination of fulfilling the
employee's needs and expectations from work and workplace factors that enable
employee motivation - or not. These variables make motivating employees
challenging. Information about motivating employees is readily available but its
hard to apply the ideas in many workplaces. Too many workplaces still act as if the
employee should be grateful to have a job. Managers are on power trips and
employee policies and procedures are formulated based on the assumption that you
cannot trust employees to do the right thing. Communication is never transparent
and there is always a secret message or a hidden agenda. Motivating employees in
this work environment is tough, if not impossible. Fortunately, most work
environments are not in this extreme. They each have their own set of problems,
but managers appreciate that motivating employees will bring positive results for
