ReplyDeleteHi Duminda , nicely written on , Employee benefits are rewards that a company gives to its employees only because they work for it.They are rarely linked to employee performance.
ReplyDeleteThey do, however, sometimes depend on the employee's rank in the organization, his achievements, and the length of time he has worked there.
Employee perks can be divided into three categories, according to Strenitzerová (2015).
Dear Dumidu. I agreed with your Post. Also I like to add that Employee motivation is one of the policies of managers to increase effectual job management amongst employees in organizations (Shadare et al, 2009).
ReplyDeleteDear Dumidu. you are spot on in your post and i also would like to add that Employers can increase employee retention and engagement through a number of practical people-focused strategies (International Journal of Development Research, February, 2014)
ReplyDeleteHi Dumindu. I agree with your post. Direction, Effort and Persistence are referred to as the three components of motivation Arnold et al (1991).
ReplyDeleteHi well explained the benefits of the Motivation However to add more the most important factor influencing human behavior and performance is motivation (Abbah, 2014). Employees can be motivated on the job for various reasons such as recognition, job enjoyment, promotion opportunities, Incentives, and personal growth.
ReplyDeleteMotivation is one of the most important variables in Human Resource Management, according to numerous researches(Saijanen, 2017).Motivated are more productive than those who are not. If an employee is satisfied and happy, he or she will perform at the highest level possible. The outcome will be beneficial, and it will inspire other office workers.(Bogdanova & Naunivska, 2008).
ReplyDeleteHi Dumidu, the points you have mentioned here are very valid and clear. Further to support the topic I would like to add a few more things to it. High employee motivation is very important for an organization. It can affect an organization in many ways. For example, Employee motivation helps to achieve organizational targets, goals and helps to increase productivity, and efficiency and provides support to maintain future sustainability (Varma, 2017). Employee Motivation can be introduced in another way, Employee Motivation is a key point for create effective organizational management (Abbah, 2014).
ReplyDeleteDear Dumindu, I agree with your post, It is also stated that Organizations are in deep need of motivated employees as it is being understood that motivation affects helps achieve following organizational objectives: (Varma, 2018).
ReplyDelete Unified direction of the group/Teams.
Higher level of effectiveness and efficiency.
Elevated organizational commitment.
Optimum use of resources.
Building a performance oriented environment (Creative & Innovative).
Increases organization ability to face uncertain business challenges .
Employee retention and attraction for stable and continuous manpower supply.
Hi Dumindu, You have explained this topic well, To overcome these restraints, a strong and positive relationship should be created and maintained between employees and their organizations. Unless and until, the employees of an organization are satisfied, are motivated for the tasks fulfillment and goals achievement, no organization can progress or achieve success"(Adi, 2000, Anka, 1988, Rothberg, 2005).
ReplyDeleteHi Dumindu, Nicely Written on.
ReplyDeleteStarting from Dwight D. Eisenhower’s statement, “Motivation is the art of getting people to do what you want them to do because they want to do it”.better HR management through an efficent motivation and recognition system. There should be a standard to evaluate the performances and how to allocate of the rewards. The promotion opportunities should be more open by increasing employees' skills through courses. The company ought to encourage the personal skills development and potential, to stimulate employees who fulfill their tasks perfectly. In case of new employees, the organization must show support for them and invest in creativity and initiative. Also, there must be a better performance dissemination ( Achim & Dragolea et al.,2013)
Hi Dumindu, As you explained motivated employees bring a lot of benefits to the organisation and they use their performance to affect the business efficiency, and therefore the success and sustainability of the enterprise (Lorincova, Starcho, Weberova , Hitka and Lipoldova, 2019 ).
ReplyDeleteInteresting post Dumindu. To further add to what you have explained, Motivated employees are more likely to deal with ambiguity more effectively than those who are not. They are more self-assured in their work because they are more engaged. As a result, they know how to handle challenging circumstances that arise inside an organization (Smarp.com, 2019).
