Introduction
Motivation of employees has been identified as key to job performance and organization’s outputs (Latt, 2008). In a business context, organizational goals, profitability and competitiveness are determined significantly by employees’ performance; who in turn are grossly influenced by the employees’ attitude about work (Alharji & Yusoff, 2011; Chaudhary & Sharma; 2012). The attitude is highly influenced by how motivated employees are at work; hence their level of job satisfaction. In the competitive world, differences in these parameters would determine the success or failure of the organization (Dongho, 2006). Likewise managers should recognize this global competition and develop strategies that motivate employees to come to work and to be productive. Behaviour of positive attitude employees would be passed on to others in the organization which ultimately makes the organization competitive. This requires organizations to have effective Human Resource Management (HRM) where motivation is fully integrated. Managers should know what motivates their employees to satisfaction and what factors of motivation are applicable in that environment making motivation a core competence of leadership (Latham, 2007). Heathfield (2013), for example, described motivation as an employee’s intrinsic enthusiasm about and drive to accomplish activities related to work. Employees in an organization when well-motivated pull their weight effectively behind the organization; they remain loyal and contribute, to the organization’s goals and objectives (Shahid, 2013).
