Factors Involved in Motivating Employees
Executive Summary
This study was conducted to determine the factors which motivate workers. It was limited to the perceptions of the full-time employees randomly selected by surveyconsole.com. A two-page questionnaire was administered to collect primary data. The collected data was analyzed and interpreted using simple statistical techniques.
The findings of the data indicated that the highest rated factors of employee motivation were salary, medical benefits, and overall job satisfaction. In addition, the day-to-day success of the company was one of the lower rated factors. According to the results of the study, workers, along with the recognition of the position, are looking for physical benefits they can grasp.
One of the main conclusions drawn from this study is that the glory and honor of the workplace are not the highest motivating factors. Therefore, companies must balance the intrinsic and extrinsic needs of its personnel in order to draw from them the highest quality of work possible. This will benefit both the employers and the employees.
