MOTIVATION B.B Intro u2tion+5

A manager gets results through other people# 3is effectiveness depends, to a large e(tent, on the willingness of his employees to do the assigned tas s with interest and enthusiasm# Motivation is the wor a manager performs to inspire and encourage people to ta e required action#

According to *cott, $Motivation is a process of stimulating people to action to accomplish desired goals#% Motivation is a process which starts with a psychological or physiological need that initiates behavior that is aimed at achieving the goal#

Motivational framewor indicates that motivation is a simple process but in reality this tas of motivating employees is very daunting# 5ne reason why motivation is a difficult tas is that the wor force is always changing# :mployees join organi+ations with different needs and e(pectations# !heir values, beliefs, bac grounds, lifestyles, perceptions and attitudes vary# ;ot many organi+ations understand and also are not clear about the ways in which these diverse wor forces can be motivated#

B.0 Nature o# Moti;ation+5

It is not easy to understand the comple(ities involved in motivating people# If an employee has an argument with his boss and fails to report to wor the ne(t day, it may appear that his behaviour is a result of the confrontation# 3owever, his behavoiur may actually be motivated by a combination of factors including overwor , family illness or some other problems# As things stand now, the Awhys/ of behaviour cannot be e(plained easily# 1et us e(plained some of the factors that complicate this processB a# Multiple causes: Different people may have different visions for behaving in the same manner# Cor e(ample, a ban officer may join service club because it is a good place to have business contractsD another may join because of the social atmosphereD still another joins because of the interesting programmes and spea ers at the club# !hus, three different Awhys/ can underline the same behaviour, further complicating the process of inferring motivation from behaviour# b.Multiple behaviour: Curther, the same motive or drive may result in different behaviour# Cor e(ample, if 4ao wants a promotion, he may concentrate on performing his job e(ceptionally well# But *iddharth, who also wants a promotion, may ta e a different approach# 3e may try to Aapple polish/ the boss to get the promotion# Motivation, obviously, is a comple( subject# It is difficult to e(plain and predict the behaviour of employees#

B.E Determinants o# Moti;ation+

!raditionally it is believed that employees are motivated by the opportunity to ma e as much as money as possible and will act rationally to ma(imi+e their earnings# !he assumption is that money, because what it can buy, is the most important

motivator, of all people# According to the pluralistic approach, men wor to fulfill a variety of needs# !hree types of forces generally influence human behaviourB i# Corces operating within the individual# ii# Corces operating within the organi+ation and iii# Corces operating in the environment# a# The individual: 3uman needs are both numerous and comple(# *ome of these needs cannot be described and identified because people hide their real needs under the cover of socially accepted behavior# It is the duty of the manager to match individual needs and e(pectations to the type of rewards available in the job setting# b# The organization: !he climate in the organi+ation must be conducive to human performance# .limate plays an important part in determining wor er/s motivation# !he climate in an organi+ation is determined by a number of variables such as its leadership style, autonomy enjoyed by members, growth prospects, emotional support from members, rewards structure, etc# c.The environment: A wor er does not live in two separate worlds, one inside the factory and the other outside it# !he troubles and pleasure of off9the9job life cannot be put aside when reporting for wor in the morning, nor can factory matters be dropped when returning home after wor #

CHAPTER (IVE SUMMARY O( (INDIN)S4 CONCLUSION AND SU))ESTION+ -.B (INDIN)S+

In today/s global environment organi+ations strive towards having a productive group of employees, but this cannot happen only by selecting and developing personal in a proper way# Individuals with e(tra ordinary competence can be hired but still un organi+ation cannot be sure that they will perform satisfactorily# !he major ingredient is motivation which activates the potential of employees# Crom the data analysis the findings are as followsB Most of the sales representative are the age group of 6=97< !he average income of ma(imum sales representative e(ceeds 4s#,,--,---"9 !he majority of sales representative selected the job considering good salary offered by Bata India 1td# Ma(imum sales representative are satisfied with the remuneration being offered# !he majority of sales representative agree the salary offered by Bata India 1td# is own path with that of the industry standards# Ma(imum sales representative are satisfied by the incentive scheme being practiced#

-.6 CONCLUSION !he footwear industry is one of the fastest and ever growing industry in the world
many multi national companies are operating in this sector one of the important peculiarities about this industry is that it is low margin industry# India with its position of second largest populated country in the world is the most attractive mar et for all industrial giants# Motivation is an important concept that has been receiving considerable attention from organi+ation the increasing attention paid to motivation is justified because of various reasons, such as Motivated employees come out with new ways of doing jobs

Motivated employees are quality oriented Motivated employees are more productive Any new technology needs motivated employees to adapt it successfully

3owever any motivation technique adopted will have its own merits and demerits that is where the role of human resources management is at its prime to decide what technique to adopt and what not to#

-.0 RECOMMENDATIONS : SU))ESTIONS

!he sales representatives of Bata India 1imited are e(erting a great effort to perform because the present motivational techniques adopted by the company are proving to be in the desired direction# Crom my study I have found some facts and some recommendations which may be beneficial for the company to eep the motivational levels at desired position# As the company practices employee suggestions schemes, there is a felling among the sales representatives that they suggestion offered by them if proved to be beneficial for the organi+ation do not lead to rewards hence the company should eep the employees motivated by giving them suitable rewards and recognition for effective suggestions# !he benefits offered by the organi+ation are proving to be effective in motivating the employees as most of the sales representatives are satisfied with the benefit system, however the organi+ation can adopt the system of fle(ible benefits which will give sales representatives a menu of benefits from which they can choose or tailor their benefits according to their individuals needs and wants#

!he system of job rotation will also eep the motivation level as repetation of same type of job may lead to boredom#

Bata India ltd should organi+e programmes for representatives which will help them develop close relationships and give them a chance to interact with other members of the company#
