People seek security and the underlying needs are fundamental to people’s existence. After these needs
are satisfied, people will focus more on job performance. People also see social systems, so the sociability
aspect of effective organizations cannot be neglected. Last but not least, personal growth is also important to
people, as self-actualization and the need for achievement and growth are vet powerful needs that influence
the development of effective organizations.
Management should evaluate employee suggestion scheme and use the feedback from the workforce to
improve the organizational environment and fulfill their needs and skills. People are different and they are
motivated by diverse needs, such as physiological needs, safety requirements and self-actualization needs.
Thus, focusing on employees at every level of the workforce and analyzing each department of the
organization will provide detailed accurate information regarding the needs of employees.
A motivated and qualified workforce is essential for any company that wants to increase productivity
and customer satisfaction. In this context, motivation means the willingness of an individual to do efforts and
take action towards organizational goals. The challenge for any manager is to find the means to create and
sustain employee motivation. On one hand, managers should focus on reducing job dissatisfaction (working
conditions, salary, supervision, relationship with colleagues), while on the other hand should use motivating
factors such as achievement, recognition, responsibility and the work itself.
Employee participation and empowerment do not only enhance efficiency, growth and innovation but
they also increase employee motivation and trust in the organization. If employees feel appreciated for their
work and are involved in decision-making, their enhanced enthusiasm and motivation will lead to better
productivity and loyalty.
