Abstract
The word "motive" originates from the Latin word "motivus," which may be interpreted as "need," "desire," or "wants." The English word "motive" is derived from these three Latin words. A significant portion of this process consists of motivating other people to collaborate on the accomplishment of a shared objective. In the context of the work goal, the psychological factors that could inspire people's activities can include things like job satisfaction, achievement, working well with others, the need for financial stability, and respect. Additionally, people's actions might be motivated by the need to be respected. Because highly motivated workers are more focused on quality, more productive, more creative, more spontaneous, and more inventive in their work, we need to encourage workers. There is no silver bullet when it comes to the topic of how businesses can or cannot inspire their staff; nonetheless, there are certain broad rules that may be followed. Instead of pressing people to carry out jobs that they aren't interested in, the most successful method would be to offer them the flexibility to find their own position in the firm and to make the most of their skills. This would be more productive than pressuring workers to carry out tasks that they aren't interested in.
According to the findings of this study on the influence that motivation has on an organisation, motivation helps to distribute incentives, make organisations more user-friendly, provide employees with a sense that there is meaning and purpose in the work that they do, maintain good employee morale, and ensure that workers are pleased in the jobs that they have. It is stated that you may take a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink; a horse will only drink when it is thirsty. This proverb is based on the fact that horses only drink when they are parched. The same holds true for people; they won't drink until they're parched first. They will behave in a manner that is congruent with their own desires as well as any other circumstances that encourage them to behave in this manner. They have to be motivated or prodded in the direction of success in order to accomplish it, and this holds true regardless of whether they are working on the production line or in a 'ivory tower'.
Because it is dependent on a variety of factors including education, experience, and training, the process of developing one's abilities is one that is slow and drawn out. On the other hand, one's level of motivation could skyrocket in a short amount of time. Because there are so many different options, a manager who is not experienced in this field may not even know where to begin because there are so many different paths to take. However, things like establishing work-related goals, rewarding employees based on their performance on the job, providing positive reinforcement, effectively disciplining and punishing employees, treating people fairly, satisfying employees' needs, and restructuring jobs are all things that can contribute to employee motivation.
