CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
DEFINITION
Employee motivation is a reflection of the level of energy, commitment, and creativity that a
company's workers bring to their jobs.
OBJECTIVES
1. The purpose of motivation is to create condition in which people are willing to work with
zeal, initiative. Interest, and enthusiasm, with a high personal and group moral
satisfaction with a sense of responsibility.
3. For improve discipline and with pride and confidence in cohesive manner so that the goal
of an organization are achieved effectively.
5. For the motivation you can buy mans time. Physical presence at a given place.
6. You can even buy a measured number of skilled muscular motions per hour or day.
7. Performance results from the interaction of physical, financial and human resource.
The workforce will be better satisfied if the management provides them with
opportunities to fulfill their physiological and psychological needs. The workers will
cooperate voluntarily with the management and will contribute their maximum towards
the goals of the enterprise.
Workers will tend to be as efficient as possible by improving upon their skills and
knowledge so that they are able to contribute to the progress of the organization. This will
also result in increased productivity.
The rates of labors turnover and absenteeism among the workers will be low.
There will be good human relations in the organization as friction among the workers
themselves and between the workers and the management will decrease.
The number of complaints and grievances will come down. Accident will also be low.
There will be increase in the quantity and quality of products. Wastage and scrap will be
less. Better quality of products will also increase the public image of the business.
Intrinsic motivation
Intrinsic motivation refers to motivation that is driven by an interest or enjoyment in the task
itself, and exists within the individual rather than relying on any external pressure. Intrinsic
Motivation is based on taking pleasure in an activity rather working towards an external reward.
Extrinsic motivation
Social psychological research has indicated that extrinsic rewards can lead to over justification
and a subsequent reduction in intrinsic motivation. In one study demonstrating this effect,
children who expected to be (and were) rewarded with a ribbon and a gold star for drawing
pictures spent less time playing with the drawing materials in subsequent observations than
children who were assigned to an unexpected reward condition. For those children who received
no extrinsic reward, Self-determination theory proposes that extrinsic motivation can be
internalized by the individual if the task fits with their values and beliefs and therefore helps to
fulfill their basic psychological needs.
Advancement
For some employees, their motivation is the prospect of rising up in the ranks of the
corporation. They work hard in order to catch the eye of the boss and probably get a
promotion. This type of employee motivation is characterized by ambition.
Of course, there are times when this type of employee motivation can be dangerous.
Sometimes, superiors may find their jobs in danger because of an advancement-motivated
employee. However, if handled properly, an employee whose motivation is advancement
can be the best in the business. As such, this type of employee motivation should be
handled carefully.
Pressure
Some employees work harder under pressure. This employee motivation is rarely
manifested consciously in a worker. It is often the case that an employee unknowingly
piles pressure on him or her and this pressure pushes them to work harder.
Sometimes, pressure is used by and employee to see just how far he or she would be able
to go. However, this type of employee motivation can have some very negative results,
considering the fact that every person has a limit. In fact, it often ends up in a breakdown
of some sort.
Fear
This is one of the most commonly used employee motivation techniques. Employees are
often threatened with termination if they fail to meet certain objectives. Of course, if an
employee does not handle pressure very well, this type of employee motivation technique
could be detrimental to his or her work performance.
The key to the best employee motivation technique is balance. You need to understand
that people have different preferences. Since it is virtually impossible to meet every
employees motivation needs, you must develop a technique that incorporates all of the
elements of employee motivation. In doing so, you will be able to ensure your companys
continued growth
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
It is always essential for a concern to access its strategies and reshape its destiny. It is
necessary for every organization to study the different aspects that affects the
organization development. Every study has a clear and specific scope.
The scope of this study is limited to IGP Engineers Pvt. Ltd. In this survey the emphasis
is on the motivation of employees. The scope of the study involves the preparation of
questionnaire and data of the company.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
The procedures by which researchers go about their work of describing, explaining and
predicting phenomena are called methodology. Methods comprise the procedures used for
generating, collecting and evaluating data. Methods are ways of obtaining information useful for
assessing explanations.
RESEARCH DEFINITION:
The definition of research given by Creswell is "Research is a process of steps used to
collect and analyze information to increase our understanding of a topic or issue". It consists of
three steps: Pose a question, collect data to answer the question, and present an answer to the
question.
RESEARCH DESIGN:
The type of research chosen for the study is descriptive research. In descriptive research various
parameters will be chosen and analyzing the variations between these parameters. This was done
with an objective to find out the motivation level of the employees.
DATA SOURCES:
The data collected for the study is mainly through the distribution of questionnaire; to be precise
the data collected for study was both primary and secondary sources.
PRIMARY DATA:
Primary data is the information collected for the first time; there are several methods in which
the data is complied. In this project it was obtained by mean of questionnaires. Questionnaire
was prepared and distributed to the employees.
SECONDARY DATA:
Secondary data needed for conducting research work were collected from company
websites, library and search engines.
RESEARCH INSTRUMENT:
In this study the primary data was collected by survey technique. In this we distributed the
questionnaires to the respondents. The researcher structured the questionnaire in the form of:
1. Close Ended Questions
2. Multiple Choice Questions
QUESTIONNAIRE:
A questionnaire is a sheet of paper containing questions relating to contain specific aspect,
regarding which the researcher collects the data. Because of their flexibility the questionnaire
method is by far the most common instrument to collect primary data. The questionnaire is given
to the respondent to be filled up.
SAMPLING DESIGN:
Sampling design is to clearly define set of objective, technically called the universe to be studied.
Sampling technique used is simple random sampling method.
SAMPLE SIZE:
This refers to the number of items to be selected from the universe to constitute a sample. The
sample size for this study was taken as 50.
Percentage analysis:
Percentage refers to special kind of ration. It is used in making comparison between two or more
series of data. It is used to describe relationship. It is used to analyses the data. Bar charts, pie
charts were used to explain tabulation clearly.
Formula:
Percentage (%) = number of respondents
X 100
Total number of respondents
LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY:
As the respondents were busy with their work, it was difficult for the researcher to
meet the respondents and gain information.
The study was limited to a short period only.
The data depends totally on the respondents view, which may be biased.
In this study the sample size is 100.
The findings of the study cannot be applied to all other fields since it lacks
external validity.
