Every successful organisation depends on the extent of effective performance of its employees and such performance will depend on a large extent on the employee’s knowledge and skills of the workers and employees. However these skills used in measuring the performance of an employee is not good and sufficient enough. The important thing is to understand what motivates an employee who then reveals how his/her abilities are activated and how potentials are released. Therefore, a good and effective manager should be mindful of factors that the workers because determination of larger extent of success of the organisation depends on the workers.
It is important to note that lot of theories have been propounded on motivation by different people, such as F. Herberg, D.McGregor, Abraham H. Maslow and C. McClelland. These theories have led to the recognition of different motivational tools which can be used by an organisation in order to improve and facilitate the interest of their workers. Salary has been seen by the researcher and other theorists is one of the best factors that an organisation can use to motivate their workers and also provide for incentives in terms of monetary to their workers. Employees should be given proper and adequate recognition inorder to achieve the objectives of the organisation.
