14 there is one Engineering head, 4 Managers, 4 Senior Executive and rest all executives.
People in my department all the time have a negative self talk, Compensation, opportunities, etc. I
decided to carry out survey regarding motivating and demotivating factor at my work place will try to
explain survey result and analysis in subsequent pages.

About Motivation
Motivation is the key factor for organizational success. It is defined as willingness to exert high level
of effort towards organization goal, conditioned by the effort and ability to satisfy some individual needs.
A need is a deficiency experience by an individual. It means some internal state that makes certain
outcomes appealing attractive. An unsatisfied need creates tension that stimulates drive within the
individual. This need motivates us to put effort to satisfy need.
Motivation process is continuous process. Individual experience need in organization eg. Need for
getting recognized. Individual will try to find various way to how he or she will get recognized? eg. 1) By
doing some work creatively, 2) By keeping extra effort at work, 3) By taking less leave, 4) By
participating in recreation & extracurricular activity,etc . Individual make a choice of behavior from any
of the above to follow. Eg Individual have make a choice By doing work creatively. Individual follow and
behave according to choice made. Eg Individual has automated some work as a result less time to
complete the task which initially was taking more time. Individual get reward or punishment based on his
behavior choice outcome. Eg. Individual is recognized for his creative work of automization of work by
his manager. Individual assesses the extent to which his need of getting recognized is fulfilled or not. Eg.
Individual want a recognition from Unit head and not manager.
The main objective of motivation for any organization is obtain high performance level , low
employee turnover & absenteeism and acceptation of organization. Motivation create environment of
initiative, curiosity & dynamism which is very important for any organization success. Motivated people

also have high job satisfaction , high morale and contribute best to achieve their personal and
organizational objectives. It create cooperation and discipline among the people working in organization.
Motivation is of two type External and Internal. External refer to when one is motivated by external
force. Eg bonus, incentive, etc. which is mainly related to organization. Other is Internal which is also
term as motivation by self. In the discussion in subsequent pages we will focus main on external type of
motivation which is related to employee and organization.

Survey Outcome
After conducting Survey I, came to know people are working in third stage of process Motivation to
De-motivation i.e. De-motivation Effective. Some people told that they are de-motivated to because of
lack of opportunities. Some told that they are de- motivated because they are paid less. Some told that
they are not appreciated for the good work done. Some told that they are victim of partiality. To my
personal experience, towards my work place there is lack of opportunity for me. I have list down main demotivating factor at my work place according to survey and impact.

De-motivating Factor
1. Lack of Appreciation
According to survey and to my personal opinion managers at my work place are quiet immature
even though working in MNC. They never appreciate any person for good work done. In fact they
represent the top management as if they have completed that good work. Also people are not
introduced to top management easily. Also there are more number of managers for less number
of people. Managers always try to pull legs of another manager at my work place. All managers
at my workplace are selfish in nature they never appreciate any body. I think role of managers is
not suitable for them. They can be a very good technical experts.
2. Lack of opportunities
According to survey and my opinion only two to three persons get repeatedly opportunity.
Opportunities such as overseas training, technical training, New development projects are taken
by managers only. No person from executive or senior executive are involved. My personal
experience I, have also not received single good opportunities since last 4 year. During last three
years many people have left my department due to lack of opportunities. Also good opportunities
are given to only 2 to 3 person. During last 4 years these 2 to 3 person have been repeatedly given
overseas opportunities and all were managers. These can be one of major de-motivating factor
among all.

3. Unfair treatment and Favoritism to some specific people

Manger at my work place humiliate executive and Sr. executive in public major of times. People
at my work place feel like insulting. There is less bonding between mangers and executive and
senior executive. Also Instead of taking responsibility for any wrong work done by executive
under managers guidance they target executive. Favoritism is also one of major criteria at my
work place Sr. managers give opportunities to only 2 people repeatedly. All other feels there
treated unfair.

4. Salary
According to survey to there are also person they are not satisfied with the salary actually
70% in our department are not satisfied with the salary. Yes I, also feel that salary is too low
according to MNC standard. Majority feels that working with MNC and drawing salary of
Medium Scale industry. There are some in our department whose salary is very low compare to
other of same experience. They feel that there is not rules in such a big company. There morale
has also gone down because of this.
5 . Poor Evaluation System
Poor Evaluation System at my workplace. People are evaluated not on the bases of their
performance. People are judge on the base of HALO effect based on the single characteristics which
seems to unfair. Also manager represents executive and Sr. executive works to the top management
at the time of evaluation. None of the top management is directly involved with executive or Sr.
executive level as a result manger do manipulation. There are number times it happen the performer
are not rewarded but non performer who is favorite to mangers are rewarded which seem quite
illogical.
6 . Lack of individual development plan
According to people and my opinion there is no individual development plan available at
my work place. Even mangers are very immature of making individual plan. People all the time
thinks in which direction his or her future is going. Many time people feels de-motivated have a
negative self talk because majority of people is career conscious. People feel that they should have
individual development plan which manger should give him and have a track that he is moving in
right direction or not. If not manager should be able to give feedback of same.

Motivating Factor
In survey none have mention about motivating factor. They all feel that there is not motivational factor
in department. But according to me there are some motivational factors which individual are unable to
identify it. I have listed all motivating factor below.
1. Recreation Activity
Company promotes the recreation activity. Means every festival there is competition eg in diwali
rangoli completion, in navratri garba at company, etc . Again individual are motivated or not it depend
upon their interest towards recreation activity.
2. Outdoor Sports
Company also promotes the Outdoor sport by organizing various out tournament such as Cricket
competition, Football competition, Basket ball competition, intercity cricket completion and even Global
football competition. Again individual are motivated or not it depend upon their interest towards sports.
3. MNC Culture in terms of time and holiday
Yes I feel culture in term of opting leave in my company is very good. You can have leave all the time
provided that you should have your leave available. Apart from Casual, Sick and earned leave Company
also promote Voluntary leave which you can take for any good cause for example working for earthquake
victims, flood victims, etc. Also company has provision for Paternity leave which you can opt when your
wife is pregnant. Also regard to time it is unwritten flexi timing. Company is not punctuality conscious
company is work conscious.
4. Good facility by company in case of on site
Company provides good facility to for those working on site or required to go onsite. Means company
provides flight, 4 star hotels, Car along with all this provide good allowances.
5. Empowerment to individual.
Individuals are given power to take decision regarding the job by their manager without any
interference. I think this is the individual factor by which people is getting motivated directly or indirectly
because people generally dont like any one inferring their decisions.
This are the some motivational factor which I, have narrated according to me but this might not be
motivational factor for some another person. Since no one in the survey mention about motivational I,
have mention all the motivating factors according to my Perception.

Proposed Motivation Technique at my work place

According to survey It, seem people are working in third stage of motivating to de-motivating process
i.e. De Motivated effective this could be very dangerous for any department. During this stage people
then to find another suitable option i.e. new job, new profile, new business, etc. which is loss to any
company in term of trained manpower. Employee turnover can go high. Also productivity of any
employee man go down if this stage continues for prolonged period.
In order to avoid this I would like to recommend the various motivation technique that can help
organization in there and employee progress as well. Below is the list of motivational technique which I,
would like to suggest.
1. Promoting appreciation culture
Mangers should learn to give appreciation to their subordinate for good work done. This culture
should come from top management itself. Appreciation plays an important role in employees motivation.
It will help department to create environment of initiative. Individual will give their best to achieve
organizational as well as their personal goals.
2. Equal opportunities
Managers should also learn to impart opportunities to their subordinate. This will increase
bonding between manager and their subordinate. Also person will feel responsible. Also employee will
feel motivated by such opportunities
3.

Top management interaction with lower hierarchy.

Top management should interact frequently with the lower hierarchy thereby they will come to know
capability of individual at lower hierarchy. They will come to know whether his or her manager are give
wrong feedback or not. This will boost employee morale and increase job satisfaction.

4. Fair evaluation system.

Evaluation system in our company is fairly based on manager feedback. Top management should bring
some policy so that managers do not give any wrong feedback or there should be multiple evaluating
system means top management should not rely only on manger feedback. This will ensure that rewarding
the performer only and not the non performer. This can boost the performing employee morale and they
will feel highly motivated. One will also take pride in their job.
5. Fair Salary structure
Salary structure should be compatible with the surrounding market as well as within the department
according to education and experience. For e.g. Suppose Two persons with 5 years experience one have
salary package of 5 lakhs and another having 8 lakhs. This is very larger difference with same education
and same experience. This will create groupism. Individual cannot be motivated even if the all other
factors. I suggest management to create policy in which salary structure range is defined for education
and experience. This will help in minimize the difference between two individual thereby creating
environment of cooperation.

6. Individual development plan

Manger should have individual development and training plan. This plan should be prepared by
manager with the help of top management in line with the interest of employee. This will make employee
much responsible towards their job. Also employee will show dynamism and curiosity. For the career
conscious subordinate they will able to track where there career path is going. They will be able to
monitor their milestone. Also it will also help managers and management in term of decision making
regarding jobs.
