INTRODUCTION TO INDUSTRY

The lighting industry begins with invention of lamp by Edison in 1879. Edison invented lamp, gas lighting and established the lightning industry. Incandescent lamps was developed in the era to make light by using electricity to heat a thin strip of material (called a filament) until it gets hot enough to glow. Between the years 1878 and 1892 the electric light industry grow in terms of installed lights but shrinked in terms of company competition as both Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse determined to control the industry and its advancement. At that time following companies dominated the market. American electric company Brush electric company Edison electric light company Edison & swan united electric light company General electric company Swan electric light company Westinghouse Electric Company The emerging market of India is now also switching to energy-saving lamps. The research magazine Pictures of the Future reports that Osram has become the worlds first lamp manufacturer to participate in a United Nations climate protection program that involves exchanging used light bulbs for energy-efficient lighting units. The CFL lamps will lower electricity bills in hundreds of thousands of Indian households, while helping to stabilize the power outage-prone Indian power grid and reduce CO2 emissions. In return for providing this replacement service, Osram receives emission certificates from the UN that the company can sell as it wishes.

In keeping with the Philips philosophy of promoting the industrial development of emerging economies, Philips India set up its first Indian lampmanufacturing factory in 1938 in Kolkata. Subsequently, Philips decided to produce radio receivers in India to make this product readily and widely available to the Indian consumer. In 1948, after the Second World War, Philips started manufacturing radios in Kolkata. The first valve-based Philips set was well received by the consumers. This was a major turning point for Philips India, and marked the beginning of the company's subsequent growth in the world of electronics. In 1957, the company is converted into a public limited company, renamed Philips India Ltd. In 1965 (3 April), the millionth Philips radio is manufactured in India. In the same year Philips pioneers the concept of son-et-lumiere shows in India with the installation of such a lighting and electro-acoustic system at the Red Fort in Delhi. In 1970 a new consumer electronics factory is started in Pimpri near Pune. Come 1982, Philips brings colour television transmission to India with the supply of four outdoor broadcast vans to Doordarshan during the IX Asian Games.

History of Osram

86.924: This was the register number in the Trademark Directory, the start of an exciting story in the history of German industry. It is one of the most traditional brand names in the world, synonymous with light around the globe and first saw the light of day one hundred years ago. On April 17, 1906 the brand name of OSRAM was entered in the Trademark Directory of the Imperial Patent Office in Berlin. Who would have thought 103 years ago that one day OSRAM will produce with more than 38.000 employees worldwide in about 49 production facilities in 19 countries sales of 4.3 billion euros? Who would have thought hundred years ago, that the electronic in light sources not exclusively in light emitting diodes (LED) and other opto-semiconductor products - will play a bigger role in the lighting market? The brand name of OSRAM was "born" in 1906 and registered by the Deutsche GasglhlichtAnstalt (also known as Auer-Gesellschaft). The world famous name from 1906 was created from the names of the two materials that were needed at the time to produce filaments initially Osmium and later Wolfram (or tungsten as it is now more commonly known). 13 years later (on July 1, 1919) it became part of a company name: OSRAM Werke GmbH Kommanditgesell- schaft. At the time, Auer-Gesellschaft, AEG and Siemens & Halske AG combined their lamp production activities; since 1978 Siemens has been the sole shareholder.

20

In 1919, the world famous picture logo with the light bulb also made its first appearance. Today, the stylised lamp in our picture logo is a symbol not only for light but also for good ideas and our passion for intelligent light. In 1985 OSRAM integrates as the first manufacturer the electronic ballasts (ECG). Today OSRAM Dulux EL Longlife energy-saving lamps last ten years or more.

INTRODUCTION TO TOPIC

Motivation is an important factor which encourages persons to give their best performance and help in reaching enterprise goals. A strong positive motivation well enables the increased output of employees but a negative motivation will reduce their performance. In order to make any managerial decision really meaningful. It is necessary to convert it into an effective action, which the manager accomplishes by motivating his subordinates. To motivate means to produce goals oriented behavior since increase in productivity is the ultimate goal of every industrial organization, motivation of employees at all levels is the most critical and baffling function of the management. Almost every human problem the manager faces throughout the firm has motivational elements.

2.2

Motivation : As a concept

The term motivation has been derived form Latin word-Movers which means to move. In our languages of management it implies something that energies an individuals or a group of individuals to work. W.G. SCOTT Motivation means a process of stimulating people to action to accomplish desired goals BREECH says Motivation is a general inspirational process which gets the members of the team to pull their weight effectively, to give their loyalty to the group, to carry out properly the tasks that they accepted and generally to play an effective part in the job that the group has undertaken.

30

2.3

Nature of Motivation

Motivation is a psychological concept that generates within an individual. It is a inner felling which energizes a person to work more. The emotions or desires of a person prompt him for doing a particular work. Man has innumerable wants to satisfy & three are unsatisfied needs of a person which disturb his equilibrium. All the wants cannot be satisfied at one time where one want is satisfied other may emerge. Satisfaction of wants is an unending process. Hence, motivation is also an unending process. A person moves to fulfill his unsatisfied needs by containing his energies. There are dormant energies in a person which are activated by channelising them into actions. A man works to achieve some individual goals. After the goal is achieved he is no longer interested in work. Goal means satisfaction of needs. Therefore, it is very essential for the management to know the goals or motives or needs of each individual, so that they may be pushed to work by directing them towards achievement of their goals.

2.4 Objective of Motivation

1. The purpose of motivation is to create conditions, 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, loyalty and discipline and with pride and confidence in a most cohesive manner so that the goals of an organization are achieved effectively. 2. 3. Motivational techniques are utilized to stimulate employee growth, He said you can buy a mans time, you can buy a mans physical presence at a

given place; you cannot even buy a measured number of skilled muscular motions per hour or day, but you cannot but enthusiasm, you cannot buy initiative , you cannot buy loyalty, you cannot buy devotions of hearts, minds and souls. You have to ear these things. 31

4. If a manager wants to get work done by his employees, he may either hold out a promise of a reward for them for doing work in a better or improved way, or he may constrain them, by instilling fear in them or by using force, to do the desired work. In other words, he may utilize a positive or a negative motivation. Both these types are widely used by management.

2.5

Types of Motivation

When a manager wants to get more work from his subordinates then he will have to motivate them for improving their performance. They will either be offered incentives for more work, or may be in the shape of rewards, better reports, recognition etc, or he may in still fear in them or use force for getting desired work. The following are the types of motivation.

1.

Positive Motivation :- Positive Motivation is based or reward. The workers are

offered incentives for achieving the desired goals. The incentives may be in the shape of more pay, promotion, recognition of work etc. according to Peter Drucker , the Real and positive motivators are responsible for placement, high standards of performance,information adequate for self control and the participation of the workers as responsible citizen in the plant community. Incentive motivation is the pull mechanism.

2.

Negative Motivation :- Negative or fear motivation is based on force or fear.

Fear causes employees to act in a certain way. In case, workers do not act accordingly then they may be punished with demotions or lay offs. The fear act as a push mechanism. Moreover it may result in lower productivity because it tends to dissipate such human assets as loyality, co-operation and esprit de corps. Moreover, the imposition of punishment frequently results is frustration among those punishment, leading to the development of mal adaptive behavior.

3.

Extrinsic Motivation:- It is concerned with external motivators which

employees enjoy-pay,promotion, status, benefits,retirement plans, health insurance 32

schemes, hodiday and vacations etc. by and large these motivations are associated with financial rewards. 4.

Intrinsic Motivation:- On the other hand, is concerned with the feeling of

2.6 IMPORTANCE OF MOTIVATION

Management tries to utilize all the sources of production in a best possible manner. This can be achieved only when employees cooperate in this task. Efforts should be made to motivate employees for contributing their maximum. The efforts of management will not bear fruit if the employees are not encouraged to work more the following is the importance of motivation. Motivated employees are always looking for better ways to do a job. It is the responsibility of the mangers to make employees look for better ways of doing their jobs. Motivated employees will put maximum efforts for achieving organizational goals. Better performance will also result in higher productivity. The cost of production can also be brought down if productivity is raised. The employees should be offered more incentive for increasing their performance. Motivation will act as a stimulate for improving the performance of employees. A motivated employees,generally , is more quality oriented. This is true weather we are talking about a top manager spending extra time on data gathering & analysis for a report. Highly motivated workers are more productive than apathetic workers. The productivity of workers becomes a question of the management ability to motivate its employees.An appreciation of the nature of the motivation is highly useful for manager. A good motivational system will create job satisfaction among employees. The employees will try to contribute their maximum and management will offer them 34

better service condition and various other incentives.There will be an atmosphere of confidence among employees and employers. It will lead to better industrial relations. Every organization requires human resources in addition to financial and is significant to the organizations. o People must be attracted not only to join the organization but also to remain in it. o people must perform the task for which they are hired and must do so in a dependable manner. o People must go beyond their dependable role performance and engage in some form of creative , spontaneous and innovative behaviour at work

2.7 STEPS OF MOTIVATION

The management should concentrate on two things to motivate its employees. 1. 2. Working method of motivation i.e. it should determined as to what ought to be done. The tools of motivation i.e. it should be determined as to when and how a job is to be done. 1. Knowledge of position of employees :First of all knowledge should be obtained regarding the needs of the employees who are to be motivated. Different persons have different needs. So , different methods are to be used for motivating different persons. Both the individuals and the group should be kept in mind while assessing the conditions. 2. Development of tools of motivation :- After obtaining the knowledge of the employees needs managers should do the job of selecting and using specific tools or techniques of motivation. The managers should determine the following issues through their own experience of others and through the experience of others and through the experience of the personnel department. 35

a) b)

Which employee is to be motivated and by which technique of motivation ? Under what conditions is hello/she to be motivated ?

Selection of tools of motivation :Selection of tools of motivation is a difficult task. Following observation are to be made

for the purpose a) b) c) Who is to be motivated ? Which technique succeeded or failed in the past ? Are requisite efficiency, means and time needed for the use of that technique available or not ? Thus, after the determination of the technique its use should be considered. It should be decided as to when and how the motivation is to be used. The employees should immediately get the reward or appreciation can spoil the effect of motivation. 4 Communication media :- The technique of motivation should be brought into the notice of employees. Communication media should be good enough for this purpose. If the management cannot communicate its viewpoint to the employees, it cannot motivate them as well. 5 Follow up action :- The manager should assess, from time to time, whether the employees have been motivated or not through a technique of motivation. If one technique fails, others can be made use of. This type of assessment can bring to light the shortcomings of present technique by removing its shortcomings.

2.8 1.

MOTIVATIONAL THEORIES
Maslow needs hierarchy :- Motivation is influenced by the needs of a person.

There is a priority of certain needs over others. The importance of needs will influence the level of motivation. A.H.Maslow has categorized human needs into five categories. b) c) d) e) Physiological :-Hunger, thirst, shelter, sex & other needs. Safety :- includes security, and protection from physical and emotional harm. Social :- includes affection, belongingness, acceptance and friendship. Esteem :- includes internal esteem factors such as self respect, authority and achievement and esteem factors such as status, recognition and attention. f) Self actualization :- The drive to become what one is capable of becoming; includes growth, achieving ones potential and self fulfillment.

2 Motivation Hergbers theory :- He gives two factor theory of motivation. First

factors includes company policy and administration,technical supervision, interpersonal relations with supervisor, salary, status, job security and personal life . These factors were found to be only dissatisfied and not motivators. These are hygiene factors. Second type of factor is motivational factor,which includes achievements, recognition,advancements work itself,possibilities of personal growth, responsibility . According to this theory,attention should be given to the job content to motivate the employees of the organization. 37

3 X & Y Theory :- After viewing the way in which managers dealt with employees ,
Mc. Gregor concluded that a managers view of the nature of human being is based on certain grouping of assumptions. He proposed two distinct view of human being, one basically negative theory X which assumes that the employees dislike work are lazy, dislikes responsibility and must be coerced to perform and the other basically positive labeled theory Y which assumes that employees like work are creative, seek responsibility and can exercise, self direction. Mc Gregor himself held to the belief that theory Y assumptions are more valid than theory X. Therefore he proposed such ideas as participation , decision making, responsible and challenging job and good group relations as approaches that would maximize an employees job motivation. As, already mentioned, Maslows need hierarchy theory states that every human being there exits hierarchy of five needs- physiological, safety, social, esteem and self actualization and as each is sequentially satisfied , the need becomes dominant. From the stand point of motivation, if you want to motivate someone, you need to understand at what level in hierarchy that person currently is and then focus on satisfying those needs at above that level. Different needs dominate different people at different time, workers will be dominated by lower order needs like physiological , safety and social needs while on the other hand staff members whos lower order needs like esteem and self actualization needs. The staff members whos lower order needs like esteem and self actualization needs. The reason behind this difference can be variable such as education, family background and cultural environment. But the important aspect, which should be taken care, is fulfillment of desired needs at every level. If the organization fails to fulfill needs of its employees ultimately it results in non-fulfillment or targeted results. For example to fulfill esteem needs ( particularly recognition needs ) an employee work hard to bring better results out of his work. He leaves no stone unturned in achieving the set target in the best possible manner. In return of this hard and dedicated labour the employee looks forward to have recognition within the department and in the organization as a whole. The recognition encourages the employee to put more of his labour in fulfilling the task

38

still in the better way. Apart from this he also becomes an example for others. As a result they are to motivate. On the contrary, if this employee not rewarded appropriately that will result in lower morale and employee will not repeat this enthusiastic behavior again, simultaneously effecting the organization target. So in the present scenario, this is responsibility of HR department to find out what are various need of employees, what are the policies and procedures from which the employees are not satisfied and accordingly suitable steps should be taken to boost the morale of employee.

2.9 Techniques of motivation

Every management tries to spacing certain motivational techniques which can be employed for improving performance of its employees. The techniques may not be similarly useful in all types of concern. Some techniques may be suitably employed in one concern, others may be useful in another concern and so on. Motivational techniques may be of two types i.e. financial and non-financial.

Financial motivators
Financial motivators may be in the form of more wages, salaries, profit sharing, leave with pay, medical reimbursement bonus, company paid insurance of any other things that may be given to employees for performance. Money is the most important motivator to people who are young and raising their families. For some persons money remains to be a motivator and for others it may never be. Besides all money can motivate people if their wages are related to their performance.

Non-financial motivators
These motivators are in the nature of better status, recognition, participation, job security etc. Some of these motivators are discussed here: Recognition :- Every person wants his work to be recognized by his superiors. When he knows that his performance is known to his boss then he will try to improve it more and more. The recognition may be in the form of a word of praise, a pat on the back, a 39

word of praise, a latter of appreciation, entry in annual confidential report etc. There may also be awards, certificates plaque etc. The recognition may be for better output, saving the time, improving quality of products, suggestions for better ways of doing things etc Participation :- Participation has been considered a good technique for motivation. It implies physical and mental involvement of people in decision making process. It satisfies ego and self esteem of persons. They feel important when asked to made suggestions in their field of activity. Status :- It refers to a social status of a person and it satisfies egoistic needs. A management may create some status symbols in the organization. This can be done by way of giving various facilities to the persons. These may be superior furniture, carpets on the flood, attachment of peons, personal assistant etc. To get these facilities a person will have to show a certain amount of performance. When a person achieves certain facilites then he tries to get better status by working more. In this way status needs act as motivator. Competition :- In some organizations competition is used as a motivator. Various persons are given certain objectives and everybody tries to achieve them head of others. There may be praises, appreciation letters, financial incentives to those who reach the goals first. The competitions encourages persons to improve their performance. Job Enrichment :- Job enrichment has been recognized as an important motivator by various researches. The job is made more important and challenging for the workers, may be given wide latitude in deciding about their work methods. The employees will also perform the management functions of planning and control so far as the work is concerned.

2.10 MOTIVATION AND PERFORMANCE

Motivation is necessary for work performance because if people do not feel inclined to engage themselves in work behaviour, they will not put it necessary efforts to perform well. However, performance of an individual in the organization depends on a variety of factors besides motivation. Therefore, it is desirable to identify various factors which affect individual performance and the role that motivation plays in this. Factors affecting individual Performance :Observation show that (1) various individuals perform differently in the same work situations, and (2) the same individual performs differently in different work situation. We can derive from that individual performance depends on the following factors. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Motivation of individual. his sense of competence, his ability his role perception and organization resources.

Motivation Ability
Role Perception

PREVAILING SYSTEM OF MOTIVATION

IN OSRAM
Given the complexities of human behaviour, existence of multiple needs and goals among employees, differences in the priorities of individual goals and differential expectations , it is imperative that the strategies to be adopted for motivating employees should be multipronged and multifaceted. Motivational techniques may be classified into two categories i.e. financial and non-financial .

2.11.1 Financial Motivators

Financial motivators may be in the form of more wages and salaries, bonus, profit sharing, leave with pay , medical reimbursements, company paid insurance of any other things that may be given to employees for performance. Money is most important motivator to people who are young and raising their families than to those who have allinged at a stage when money needs are less. Money needs go on changing from time to time. A person may be satisfied with modest house at one time. He may like to have a comfortable house late on, For some persons money remains to be a motivator and for others it may never be.

2.11.2 Non- Financial Motivators

Under non- financial motivators the employees is not given more money. He is rather given more chances of promotion , job security , respect and appreciation under non-financial incentives. Thus , non financial incentives include all those factors which do not give directly more money to the employee, no matter indirectly he may be receiving financial benefits. Modern managers make use of all types of motivators i.e. positive , negative, financial , non financial. Motivational techniques are utilized to stimulate employee growth. The purpose of motivation is to develop conditions in which people are willing to work with zeal,interest and enthusiasm. 42

Though the various techniques adopted by OSRAM COMPANY, for the upliftment of employees through motivation is not up to mark but in accordance to various motivation is not up to mark but in accordance to various organization it can be competitive.

SUGGESTIONS
Working conditions are appropriate up to an extent but still some improvements are required. More temperature control systems should be installed at required places. Conveyance facility should be for all the employees. canteen facilities should be given. To make improvements in state of cleanliness and sanitation sweepers should be instructed strictly to perform his/her duty. Availability of more telephones in departments for effective communication. The functioning of the management for the employees should be more transparent. Employees should be paid equal to market rate.

69

 Management should introduce new benefit and welfare schemes. Special training programmers to be conducted within the country and abroad. Employees educational background and qualification should be taken into consideration. The performance appraisal should be either quarterly or half yearly rather than annually. Job Rotation should be carried out in such a manner that the specialization of an employee is not affected i.e. should be exposure rather than transfer. Salary packages needs main consideration to stop attrition rate.

5.3

CONCLUSION

To conclude the topic of my project. I would like to say the employee motivation is an important aspect to be discussed & followed in every organization. As it is very important for each & every organization. It is really helpful in the progress of employee of the organization. In OSRAM the employee motivational programme is effective & impressive to motivate the employee of an organization.

70

OSRAM is older manufacturing company in the lightning industry but it has not sustained a higher position in the industry because of the reason that it dont offer a competent salary in the industry which hampers the performance also. Employee are motivated by surrounding environment of company but are dissatisfied by salary and incentives offered, suggestion schemes, job rotation, career planning. The company lack of latest data records and forecasting is not satisfactory. But despite of these entire conditions attrition rate is less because employee likes to associate with the various material facilities provided by company. It was a very good experience for me to learn, so many new things in actual working environment of an organization. From the findings of the study related issue should be resolved through prompt action in accordance of the organizational goal, so as to minimize weakness & reinforce strength observed during the process.
