Abstract:
Human nature can be very simple, yet very complex too. An understanding and
appreciation of this is a prerequisite to effective people motivation in both workplace and
elsewhere and therefore effective management and leadership. Employee motivation is the
major part of employee development. Effective motivation enhances the employees’ intrinsic
sense of accomplishment, contribution, involvement, and satisfaction. A number of techniques
have been discussed to develop the motivation of employees. As a guideline, there are broadly
several strategies for motivation: ambition, need achievement, money, base rewards on job
performance, job environment, job enlargement, interpersonal relations, recruitment
procedure, training and organizational development etc. The selection of any of these
measures for motivational development emphasizes on the nature of the employee to be
motivated, type of task to be gained and extent of satisfying employees needs considered in
any organization. Apart from the benefit and moral value of an altruistic approach to treating
employees as human beings in all its form, research and observations show that well
motivated employees are more productive and creative. The purpose of this article is to focus
on employee development (ED) practices through employees’ motivation for organizational
development.
