The Impact of Employee Motivation on Organisational Productivity

Abstract

It has become a tremendous challenge for organisations in today's overly competitive business world. One of the key ways to stay competitive is to hire the right talent and, most importantly, to motivate them to do their jobs effectively, which can significantly impact overall organisational productivity. Studies show that organisations spend tremendous amounts of money on recruiting new talents every year due to increased employee turnover rates. This goes against the intention for improved productivity, which aims to produce more while managing cost without compromising quality. Therefore, this research looks to study the impact of employee motivation on organisational productivity by analysing five important motivating factors including financial benefit, job security, leadership style, recognition and awards, and growth opportunities.

This research paper is segmented into five chapters. The first chapter presents the research overview. Proceeding to chapter two is the literature review, which studies past and relevant literature to gain more insight into the topic. The data gathered from the literature review serves as a cornerstone for chapter three, which presents the research methodology. Chapter four discusses the analysis and findings of the study by utilising software to facilitate the process. Lastly, chapter five serves as a summary of the research study, by ensuring that the research question is answered and the objective attained, as well as the study's implications. Furthermore, it discussed the limitations or challenges encountered during the project and thereby provided recommendations for future researchers.
