An employee is one of the main parts of an organization. To decrease absenteeism, careless works and employee turnover, employee satisfaction is very vital. Referring to the case study, Helen could apply “Herzberg’s two factor theory” or “Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs” to satisfy her employees and to get the best output out of them.

The research covers a wide range of resources to study the incentive and rewards scheme in the NHS, and analyse the most appropriate motivation theories and how it can be applied within the health care service in order to motivate its staff and increase the health care staff productivity and convert it into a better care service to be provided to NHS patients.

Motivation is one of the most important tools in today’s workplace. Managers use motivation to inspire and influence people to work, both independently and team-wise, to produce the most efficient and effective results and productivity. They want to inspire employees to work toward organization’s goals. Moreover, in order to have an impact on employees, managers need to identify and understand what factors drive their employees. Some questions that manager should ask include: What kind of work environment will motivate people? What are the necessary rewards, both intrinsic and extrinsic, to encourage high performance and help maintain motivated performance?

Motivation acts a force to energize and direct behavior in the workplace (Myers 329) so that employees perform tasks to a high degree. It is motivation that retains employees in a company because improper motivation acts as a deterrent to productivity and joy. Whether physiological, emotional, or incentive based, motivation affects our lives everyday and induces our natural drive to thrive and succeed.

The literature review, explain the theories which are related to the case study’s problems in order to the motivation and satisfy employees’ needs. There are three important theories include; organizational motivation justice, Maslow’s hierarchy needs theory, and expectancy theory.

Per Maslow, these needs which are the run of motivation for an employee to work are arranged in a hierarchical order of increasing importance. This order is “prepotency”. It means satisfied need no longer remains a motivator and only the next greater needs can motivate an employee to perform further. This was later analyzed due to there is no certainty that these needs are consider as a motivation hierarchical order as recommended, therefore

According to Herzberg, the factors leading to job satisfaction are distinctly different from those that lead to job-dissatisfaction. Therefore, the managers who seek to eliminate factors that create job-dissatisfaction can bring about peace at the workplace but cannot motivate the employees. These factors are termed as hygiene factors comprising administration, supervision, working conditions, salary and wages etc. While absence of hygiene factors will lead to dissatisfaction, mere presence of these factors will not satisfy (i.e. motivate) the employees. In order to motivate the employees, managers must resort to ‘motivators’ (those factors that motivate the employees towards better performance) such as recognition, challenging assignment, responsibility, opportunities for growth and self-fulfillment etc.
