Q . 1 ) W H AT I S M O T I VAT I O N ?
Answer: Dictionary meaning of motivation is the desire to do something, which is quite simplistic, however in reality

Answer: There are several factors that helps motivate an individual. These factors are also known as motivators.
Firstly it is the responsibility and work itself, the type of work being carried out by an individual will have an effect on
its level of motivation for example if the work is not organized properly it can be de-motivating for an employee, plus if
no responsibility is being delegated to an individual than this might degrade him causing de-motivation even further.
Secondly it is the achievement of a task, desire, an ambition or a target because this is what helps build a confidence
of an individual due to which he is able to carry out the task more effectively and properly. Thirdly motivation results
from recognition as well, when an individual is rewarded for his efforts this helps in enhancement of his confidence to
a further level which will increase the satisfaction of an employee plus it will also prevent high labour turnover which is
one of the rising problem in most organizations. Last but not the least its the salary and status that greatly impact on
an individual level of motivation, although being financial in nature both these factors contribute noticeably in
increasing or decreasing the levels of output and satisfaction.

I N D I V I D UA L S S E L F- M O T I VAT I O N ?
Answer: There are four different styles of leadership. The type of leadership style adopted by a leader does have an
impact on his employees motivation.
A person working under the supervision of an autocratic leader might not be as motivated as a person working under
a manager adopting democratic style of leadership. Autocratic and democratic style of leadership are like two
opposite ends of a line, an autocratic leadership style involves commanding employees the task to be performed with
no or very little authority to change the way in which task can be performed, all decisions are taken by the manager
himself no opinion of the staff is taken, this can prove to be very de-motivating specially for those employees who are
motivated by non-financial factors.
Whereas democratic style involves delegation of authority to staff members, employees are involved in decision
making; the overall decision taken by the manager depends on the consensus of opinion. Democratic style of
leadership helps in boosting the motivation level of individuals as they feel involved in decision making process of the
organization, they find themselves contributing in the decisions that lead to success of the organization they work for,
and this achievement helps in hovering of an employees self-confidence motivating him to do well in future as well.

Paternalistic is one of the other forms of leadership style, this is where a manager acts like a father, he takes
decision most appropriate and in favor of his staff, employees are involved in the decision making process but the
overall decision taken is solely by the manager himself, this type of style is less motivating as compared to
democratic style of leadership.
Lastly Laissez faire style of leadership is where managers delegate virtually all power and authority to their staff;
very broad criteria are established for the staff to work in. This style can be de-motivating as managers will not be

monitoring their staffs performance closely due to which there might be no or little sense of achievement and
appreciation plus lack of feed-back will all contribute to staff being de-motivated.

I M P O RTA N T PA RT O F M O T I VAT I O N T H E O RY.
Answer: Concentration on human needs was made by Maslow in his theory. He identified five human needs and
arranged them in priority starting at the base with the physical needs (i.e. food, shelter, water and rest), safety
needs (these include protection from threats, job security, health and safety at work), social needs (trust,
acceptance, friendship, belonging to a group etc), esteem needs (respect from others, status, recognition of
achievement, etc) and self actualization (reaching ones full potential).
It was important to study human needs because a persons needs determine his action. An individual always try to
satisfy them and needs to be motivated to do so, therefore to increase an individuals self motivation it was important
to figure out the human needs.

E M P LOY E E S S E L F M O T I VAT I O N ?

Answer: Delayering is when layers of workers are removed from a hierarchy of an organization. This is mainly done
to reduce business costs, to shorten the chain of command and to improve the process of communication through the
organization.
Delayering helps in increasing an employees self motivation due to its several benefits i.e. increased delegation of
work; reduced remoteness of the staff from the top management and greater chances of having more responsible
work to perform. Although non-financial in nature but all these benefits boost the motivational level of employees.

50 Ways to Motivate Yourself

There are several ways that can be helpful in motivating ones own-self. Motivation increases a persons energy level
and his enthusiasm to carry out the tasks effectively. Everyone has motivators to attain success and to avoid pain. A

might. Put your whole soul into it. Stamp it with your personality. Be active, be energetic, be enthusiastic and
