MOTIVATION

Do employers need to motivate their employees?           

             Motivation is a psychological that people want to do to be successful what they want.  There three elements of the theories of motivation that consist of internal, process, and external.  It is a huge problem in most companies that employees are lacking of motivation.  Reasons of lacking of motivation might be working long time in a company, doing boring responsibility everyday, or having a problem with co-workers. Then an employer has to individually consider the fact that it is a main cause of lacking of motivation by the elements of the theories of motivation.

            First, internal theory of motivation is a primary factor, which it is inside mindset of everyone.  Naturally, people are lazy.  A manager might give a reward to inactive employees. They will receive a commission when they do a good job or get a bonus and a promotion in order to motivate them to work forward.  This strategy can fulfill their satisfaction and motivate them from their thinking.

Second, process theory of motivation is collaboration between mindset and environment.   An employer should interact between workforces and workplaces.  People love convenience in working and living.  If they work in a workplace where there are vary facility.  It can support employees for working and they can passive in their work.

Third, external theory of motivation is the surrounding environment.  It is an outside element that affects to attitude and behavior.  An employee could have a problem in the workplace such as relationship, dissatisfaction jobs or discomfort with working.  The manager needs to figure out what the fact is and helps that ineffective employee to achieve his or her own work. 

All in all, these are the elements of motivation that the manager must exhaustively consider.  Alderfer (1969) emphasized in his ERG motivation theory that “Not everyone is motivated by the same things. It depends where you are in the hierarchy” If the manager cannot find the remedy, that unproductive employee might have to quite from the job.
