Abstract
In today's fast paced and competitive workplace environment, motivating employees for better job performance is very crucial for not only the organization's success but also its survival. Motivation in the workplace is one of the greatest challenges for managers. High levels of motivations are directly connected to high employee performance. A lack of motivation in the workplace is a major issue for managers and unfortunately many business managers today are not aware of the effects that motivation can and does have on their business.
The purpose of this study is to understand the importance and effects of motivation on employee performance by identifying the most important motivational factors.
This was done by studying two companies one of which is considered to well apply the various motivational techniques while the other one applies them in a lesser degree. The methodology used to obtain the information and data needed was through two sets of questionnaires distributed to employees and managers in both companies. The results were analyzed using various statistical techniques such as descriptive analysis, comparative analysis, hypothesis testing, and correlation and regression analysis.
As a result of the conducted analysis, in both companies, we were able to see how using motivational techniques affected positively on employee performance, and how using it less frequently or not at all had a negative impact.
