A PERSPECTIVE ON EMPLOYEE MOTIVATION AND JOB PERFORMANCE: A CONCEPTUAL STUDY

Abstract

Motivation is a process that starts with a physiological or psychological need that activates behavior or a drive that is aimed at a goal. Every employee is expected to show increased and qualitative productivity by the manager. To achieve this, behavior of the employee is very important. The behavior of the employees is influenced by the environment in which they find themselves. Finally, an employee's behavior will be a function of that employee's innate drives or felt needs and the opportunities he or she has to satisfy those drives or needs in the workplace.
