1.0    INTRODUCTION

Motivation is the inner act of influencing an employee to change his  behavior positively towards a set goal. Again it can be defined as the state that directs the individuals towards the goal of satisfying felted needs. The individual is moved to take action to reduce a state of tension and return to a condition of equilibrium.

Since productivity is a result of employees behaviour, influencing this behaviour is a manager’s key role to increasing productivity.

That’s why employers tend to put more effort in motivating employees through motivational tools in order to get work done in the right manner in order to achieve higher productivity. When this is done, the organization will definitely attain its desired objectives and goals.

But some managers knowing the significance and important of motivation, do deliberately refused to motivate their subordinate.

Top management must take into account of individual behaviour when planning organizational structure and procedure, and applying management styles and theories to meet career development of employees.
