For the day of the dead research paper I chose Mexico because it's one of the most common Spanish speaking countries that celebrate the day of the dead. In this region the day of the dead usually starts on November 1st, and ends on November 2nd. It is celebrated with various festivities, honoring the dead. We watched a video in class recently, showing that people honor the dead with partying, and offerings.

Extrinsic motivation e.g. Money is the critical incentive to motivation in today's work environment However , motivation differs from individual to individual and with their respective beliefs and values, circumstances and culture. It is important for mangers to identify which motivation factor works with which employee and apply it respectively In any environment, both Intrinsic and Extrinsic motivations are needed for work satisfaction and work performance

All organizations aspire to be successful in this era of rapid development where the market is very competitive. Therefore, there is a need for them to motivate their employees since they are a critical strategic asset for dealing with such competition. Employees’ motivation can be described as the psychological process that causes workers to behave in a positive manner thus improving their performance behavior (Townsend, 2002). Companies irrespective of their size and market should strive to retain their best workers, acknowledging their significant role and influence to the organizational effectiveness. To achieve this, firms should create a strong and positive relationship with the workers. From the data obtained from various researches, it is apparent that employee motivation improves performance through reducing absenteeism as well as increasing renovation among workers (Norsworthy &Zabala, 1990). The relationship between motivation and performance is clearly depicted in Southwest Airlines Company where the firm invests on its human resource to improve its productivity.

In organizations all across the world you will find management working diligently to enhance or maintain productivity. There are many things that can affect productivity, some that are within our control and some that are not. Employee motivation is something that can directly affect an organizations production. It is no secret that un-motivated employees equates to un-productive workers, but how can we combat this? In order to better understand this concept we will look at the definition of employee motivation, some of the motivation theories and some motivation techniques that could be useful in our organizations.

Is it very important that managers understand their employees’ motivation. There are different components that need to be bonded together in order to motivate employees. Workplace environment and communication influence managers’ and employees’ motivation. More motivation means more productivity. The relationship between managers’ motivation and their employees is analyzed in this paper.

In any workplace, workers are no doubt the essential mainstay that holds any business or corporation together. Employees achieve important tasks to help the company’s long term vision and goals to be successful and efficient. A business can’t be successful without a proper management that is why it is important for employees to enjoy going to work and they also have maintain a positive attitude while being productive and completing tasks. Motivation is what gives a person the purpose to perform or behave in a certain way with the desire or willingness to gain something. There are two types of motivations, motivation that comes from a person and motivation that comes from materially goals. It is very necessary that employers keep their employees motivated and encourage them to perform above expectations.

Motivation of employees plays a crucial factor in determining their performance with regard to productivity and engagement in their respective duties. Actually, employees who are adequately motivated tend to enhance their performance, be more productive, feel more satisfied, and be more engaged in their work. Managers should take responsibility to enhance their employees in order to enhance their contributions to the organization or company resulting in increased productivity. The significance of employee motivation to organizational productivity is linked to the widely accepted belief that motivation is the basic driver of human behavior. The significance of motivation in driving human behavior has contributed to the development of various theories of motivation, which are mostly applied in real life organizations or businesses. The application of these theories has considerable effects on organizational productivity, employee turnover, and employee satisfaction.

Employees are motivated by both intrinsic and extrinsic rewards. In order for the reward system to be effective, it must encompass both sources of motivation. Studies have found that among employees surveyed, money was not the most important motivator, and in some instances managers have found money to have a de-motivating or negative effect on employees.  This research paper addresses the definition of rewards in the work environment context, the importance of rewarding employees for their job performance, motivators to employee performance such as extrinsic and intrinsic rewards, Herzberg’s two-factor theory in relation to rewarding employees, Hackman and Oldman model of job enrichment that

The degree to which employees are motivated in their work depends on how well they are able to produce in their job. Therefore, motivation is expected to have a positive effect on quality performance as it leads to high levels of initiative, creativity and where monitoring is difficult, motivation ensures high quality performance (Osabiya, 2015).Having a few dis-satisfiers in the work place does not motivate a worker to do a good job, but rather stay in it. Therefore, worker performance clearly depends on the level of motivation which arouses the spirit of taking responsibilities and

One of the first authors that dealt with the sources of motivation was Frederick Taylor who focussed on the overall productivity of an organisation. He linked this productivity to the effort an employee puts into their work which in turn is dependent on monetary rewards (Taylor, 1911). This theory was established in the context of the industrial age and thus is outdated for today’s analysis but it still provides a basic assumption which is often referred to by other authors. The total neglecting of a worker’s intrinsic motivators is a starting point for discussion for authors that conducted research in that area after Taylor.

In the motivating of employees, there are certainly many theories, definitions, and ideas. Motivation is a continuous battle in the work place, and close attention must be paid to it in order to ensure productivity and performance. It is hard to look at one of these theories and say that one is the most accurate or represents the landscape the best, but I will apply my own ideas and experiences to the topic to better understand how motivation works from my perspective. In the second part of the paper, I will look at my own experience as an employee at Google and at an insurance company, to help understand the various theories in practice. I suffered from lack of motivation as an employee in my first two jobs for two different reasons that can be explored in further depth based on the readings.

Motivation is the study of what makes us do things. Every day we are faced with many decisions. What choice we make is the study of motivation. There are several theories of motivation; the theory of opportunity-cost is the most widely recognized. This paper will discuss (1) the major forces that drive us, (2) diverse influences, and (3) tangible and intangible outputs.

Most managers agree that employee motivation can be subdivided into intrinsic and extrinsic motivation (Staw, 1976). Per Amabile (1993), an employee is said to be intrinsically motivated when they seek enjoyment, interest, satisfaction of curiosity, self-expression, or personal challenge in the work. While employees are extrinsically motivated when they engage in the work to obtain some goal that is apart from the work itself.

Tayyab (2006) categorized antecedents into intrinsic and extrinsic work motivation. Intrinsic values are derived from individual’s personal feelings and objectives, it comprises of feelings of enjoyment and satisfaction which are derived from work well done, interest in organizational activities, desire to seek higher job and better standards of living, recognition for work effort, and performance. Extrinsic work motivation on the other hand is derived from the attainment of tangible rewards
