Impact Of Motivation on Employee

Information:

The term motivation describes why a person does something. It is the driving force behind
human actions. Motivation is the process that initiates, guides, and maintains goal-
oriented behaviors.

For instance, motivation is what helps you lose extra weight, or pushes you to get that
promotion at work. In short, motivation causes you to act in a way that gets you closer to
your goals. Motivation includes the biological, emotional, social, and cognitive forces
that activate human behavior.

Motivation also involves factors that direct and maintain goal-directed actions. Although,
such motives are rarely directly observable. As a result, we must often infer the reasons
why people do the things that they do based on observable behaviors.

Learn the types of motivation that exist and how we use them in our everyday lives. And
if it feels like you've lost your motivation, do not worry. There are many ways to develop
or improve your self-motivation levels.

What are the Types of Motivation:

There are two types of motivation –

• Extrinsic Motivation
• Intrinsic Motivation

Extrinsic Motivation:

Extrinsic motivation arises from outside of the individual and often involves external
rewards such as trophies, money, social recognition, or praise.

Intrinsic Motivation:

Intrinsic motivation is internal and arises from within the individual, such as doing a
complicated crossword puzzle purely for the gratification of solving a problem.

A Third type of Motivation:

Some research suggests that there is a third type of motivation: family motivation. An
example of this type is going to work when you are not motivated to do so internally (no
intrinsic motivation), but because it is a means to support your family financially.

• Family Motivation

Family Motivation:

Family motivation is an under-researched concept and one of the potential sources of

inspiration and motivation for working people in a different context (Menges et al.,
2017; Tariq and Ding, 2018; Erum et al., 2020). There are individuals whose jobs are
toxic, low paying, boring, without an opportunity for advancement, and without monetary
benefits or bonuses, but still, they are types of jobs (Nawaz et al., 2022).

Impact Of Motivation on Employee

Why Motivation is Important:

Motivation serves as a guiding force for all human behavior. So, understanding how
motivation works and the factors that may impact it can be important for several reasons.

Understanding motivation can:

• Increase your efficiency as you work toward your goals.

• Drive you to take action.
• Encourage you to engage in health-oriented behaviors.
• Help you avoid unhealthy or maladaptive behaviors, such as risk
taking and addiction.
• Help you feel more in control of your life.
• Improve your overall well-being and happiness.

What are the three Components of Motivation:

If you've ever had a goal (like wanting to lose 20 pounds or run a marathon), you probably
already know that simply having the desire to accomplish these things is not enough. You
must also be able to persist through obstacles and have the endurance to keep going in
spite of difficulties faced.

These different elements or components are needed to get and stay motivated. Researchers
have identified three major components of motivation: activation, persistence, and
intensity.

• Activation
• Persistence
• Intensity

Activation:

Activation is the decision to initiate a behavior. An example of activation would be

enrolling in psychology courses in order to earn your degree.

Persistence:

Persistence is the continued effort toward a goal even though obstacles may exist. An
example of persistence would be showing up for your psychology class even though you
are tired from staying up late the night before.

Intensity:

Intensity is the concentration and vigor that goes into pursuing a goal.5

Zhou Y, Siu AF. Motivational intensity modulates the effects of positive emotions on set
shifting after controlling physiological arousal. Scand J Psychol. 2015;56(6):613-21.
doi:10.1111/sjop.12247

For example, one student might coast by without much effort (minimal intensity) while
another student studies regularly, participates in classroom discussions, and takes
advantage of research opportunities outside of class (greater intensity).

Tips to improving your Motivation:

All people experience fluctuations in their motivation and willpower. Sometimes you
feel fired up and highly driven to reach your goals. Other times, you might feel listless or
unsure of what you want or how to achieve it.

If you're feeling low on motivation, there are steps you can take to help increase your
drive. Some things you can do to develop or improve your motivation include:

• Adjust your goals to focus on things that really matter to you. Focusing on things
that are highly important to you will help push you through your challenges more
than goals based on things that are low in importance.
• If you're tackling something that feels too big or too overwhelming, break it up
into smaller, more manageable steps. Then, set your sights on achieving only the
first step. Instead of trying to lose 50 pounds, for example, break this goal down
into five-pound increments.
• Improve your confidence. Research suggests that there is a connection between
confidence and motivation.6 So, gaining more confidence in yourself and your
skills can impact your ability to achieve your goals.
• Remind yourself about what you've achieved in the past and where your strengths
lie. This helps keep self-doubts from limiting your motivation.
• If there are things you feel insecure about, try working on making improvements
in those areas so you feel more skilled and capable.

Causes of Low Motivation:

There are a few things you should watch for that might hurt or inhibit your motivation
levels. These include:

• All-or-nothing thinking: If you think that you must be absolutely perfect when
trying to reach your goal or there is no point in trying, one small slip-up or relapse
can zap your motivation to keep pushing forward.

• Believing in quick fixes: It's easy to feel unmotivated if you can't reach your
goal immediately but reaching goals often takes time.

• Thinking that one size fits all: Just because an approach or method worked for
someone else does not mean that it will work for you. If you don't feel motivated
to pursue your goals, look for other things that will work better for you.

Motivation and Mental Health:

Sometimes a persistent lack of motivation is tied to a mental health condition such

as depression. Talk to your doctor if you are feeling symptoms of apathy and low mood
that last longer than two weeks.

Theories of Motivation:

Throughout history, psychologists have proposed different theories to

explain what motivates human behaviour. The following are some of the
major theories of motivation.

• Instinct
• Drives and Needs
• Arousal Levels

Instinct:

The instinct theory of motivation suggests that behaviours are motivated by instincts,
which are fixed and inborn patterns of behavior.7 Psychologists such as William
James, Sigmund Freud, and William McDougal have proposed several basic human drives
that motivate behaviour. They include biological instincts that are important for an
organism's survival—such as fear, cleanliness, and love.

Drives and Needs:

Many behaviors such as eating, drinking, and sleeping are motivated by biology. We have a
biological need for food, water, and sleep. Therefore, we are motivated to eat, drink, and sleep.
The drive reduction theory of motivation suggests that people have these basic biological
drives, and our behaviors are motivated by the need to fulfill these drives.

Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs is another motivation theory based on a desire to fulfill
basic physiological needs. Once those needs are met, it expands to our other needs, such as those
related to safety and security, social needs, self-esteem, and self-actualization.

Arousal levels:

The arousal theory of motivation suggests that people are motivated to engage in
behaviors that help them maintain their optimal level of arousal.
Hockenbury DH, Hockenbury SE. Discovering Psychology.
A person with low arousal needs might pursue relaxing activities such as reading a book,
while those with high arousal needs might be motivated to engage in exciting, thrill-
seeking behaviors such as motorcycle racing.

Conclusion:

Motivation can be properly or improperly achieved and can either hinder or improve
productivity. Management must understand that they are dealing with human beings, not
machines, and that motivation involves incentivizing people to do something because they
want to do it. Effective motivation cannot be achieved without knowing what is important
to associates. Management must use the proper incentives to achieve the desired results.
Simply stated, if the proper motivational environment is in place, managers will be
rewarded with productive associates.
