Abstract:
Scholars have believed that motivation crowding out will occur when performance-based personnel management is practiced in the public sector. However, drawing on a more sophisticated typology of human motivation, this study demonstrates that the provision of extrinsic rewards can motivate, rather than demotivate, public employees even if public employees have strong public service motivation. Analyzing the data from the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (USA), this study found that the practice of employee performance management increases work effort and job satisfaction, and that such effects were mediated mainly by the hybrid motivational mechanisms (i.e., via enhanced self-concepts and perceived fairness), rather than by increasing sheer extrinsic motivation. This implies that the practice of employee performance management can be effective in motivating public employees.

Abstract:
Employee motivation is a prerequisite for the effective development of the potential of human resources. Therefore, motivation processes are important. The aim of the paper was to define the motivational priorities of white-collar employees in forest enterprises. Following the research results, cluster analysis statistical methods were used to define employee groups with similar motivations. The research was carried out in 11 forest enterprises with 195 total respondents. The results indicated that it is possible to create a unified motivation program with selected motivation factors for white-collar employees in forest enterprises. Defined groups had similar levels of motivation in individual motivation factors. Three significant motivation factors were determined: basic salary, working environment, and fair appraisal system. These motivation factors can be systematically implemented as a tool to improve the level of motivation of individual groups. It is important to consider that conditions and work environments change over time, so an effective motivation program must be updated regularly in order to produce sustained benefits.

Abstract:
This study sheds light on the relationship between Employee management and motivation (EMM) practices with employee satisfaction. The study's objective is to analyze the implementation of employee management practices, motivational factors in healthcare centers, and its impact on employees' perception, which leads to satisfaction or dissatisfaction. Employee Management includes workforce planning, induction compensation management, and employee motivation. The study focuses on employee motivation. It is the most critical factor for increased commitment, productivity, and involvement of employees in their job. Motivational factors include training and development, performance appraisal, promotion, etc. In addition, the study observed that those hospitals following systematically and scientifically EMM practices create high employee satisfaction levels. As a result, these employees are more committed to better performance.

Abstract:
Purpose – Motivation is a widely explored topic and numerous studies have been done to determine motivation importance and implementation. However, no studies have been identified that investigate what motivators are most important to physicians and if physician leaders agree with the importance physicians place on specific motivational aspects. The purpose of this paper is to investigate this missed management learning opportunity. Design/methodology/approach – A fully inclusive sampling of all (n=2,547) public-practice physicians and physician leaders (clinic and hospital employed, non-private practice) in Minneapolis and St. Paul Minnesota was conducted in the summer and fall of 2013. The surveys were sent in a link via a web survey software program by the study researchers. The surveys were anonymous and minimally intrusive, asking only for perspectives regarding the most important motivational elements by physicians and physician leaders. Findings – Generally, the responses were surprisingly similar between physicians and physician leaders. The two statistically different motivators – interesting work and job security – were ranked as more important by physicians than the physician leaders. This suggests that leaders should be more attentive to ensuring variety, challenge, and engagement is an active part of the physicians’ work. This also suggests that managers should emphasize and reinforce the fact that – if it is the case – jobs are secure and that staffing stability is a key goal for management. As Kovach (1987) suggests, as employees’ income increases, money becomes less of a motivator and as employees get older, interesting work becomes more of a motivator. Research limitations/implications – Conclusions and generalizations can be made about the population sampled. Practical implications – The two statistically different motivators – interesting work and job security – were ranked as more important by physicians than the physician leaders. This suggests that leaders should be more attentive to ensuring variety, challenge, and engagement is an active part of the physicians’ work. This also suggests that managers should emphasize and reinforce the fact that – if it is the case – jobs are secure and that staffing stability is a key goal for management. Social implications – As this study reveals, physicians have clear preferences when it comes to workplace motivation. It is not unreasonable then to determine that the more satisfied the employee, the better he or she will perform. Accordingly, the environment that managers create for their employees must be one that is constructive to positive energy. If employees feel happy when they are working, then they will be naturally encouraged to work, thus producing improved quality healthcare for patients. Originality/value – What are the most important motivators for physicians and do physician leaders understand what motivators are to enhance physician productivity, well-being, and morale? Answers to this question may be beneficial to designing leadership education that enhances the understanding of the impact effectively identified and effectively applied motivation techniques may have on employee behavior and attitudes. Insights will also benefit the design of motivational structures and methods in the healthcare workplace.

Abstract:
Retaining employee loyalty after restructuring is a problem for all types of businesses. The major issue concerns how management and employees can establish a new, mutually acceptable "psychological contract" which ensures employee loyalty but not lifelong employment. Eighteen small businesses in Fairfield County, Connecticut were surveyed to investigate loyalty and motivation after downsizing. A significant correlation was found between loyalty and motivation. Furthermore, several motivational techniques employed were inconsistent with employee needs. Suggestions are offered on how to retain employee loyalty.

Abstract:
This paper is devoted to the investigation of the motivation concept, study and analysis of foreign experience in motivating employees and the selection of elements that can be adapted in Ukrainian enterprises. The theoretical foundations of the staff motivation concept are considered in this paper. It is found that the staff motivation has significant impact on the staff and enterprise efficiency. The main tasks of employee motivation are determined. They are as follows: the formation of understanding of the employees motivation system, the establishment of psychological climate in the team; creating democratic approaches to personnel management. The main types of staff motivation are identified as tangible and intangible. The main means of material and intangible employees motivation are considered. Since without the staff interest it is impossible to solve the enterprise problems, motivation becomes an important task for the enterprise. In order to increase the material and moral interest of employees, to develop and improve the incentive mechanism the experience of developed countries in this area is taken into account in this paper. Foreign experience is considered to identify the optimal model of employee motivation at Ukrainian enterprises. Motivation systems of such leading countries as Japan, France, USA and Germany are studied. The ways of motivating employees in such leading companies as Google, Zappos, Huffington Post, Procter & Gamble, Apple, IBM and AT&T, Nihon Shokken are considered. Elements of French, German, American and Japanese motivation systems are generalized. The main elements of these foreign systems of employee motivation are identified: individualization of wages; incentives for staff training, arrangement of recreation areas, motivational monitoring, etc. From foreign experience, we can seen that motivation makes it possible to solve the problems related to the improvement of employee productivity. Therefore, the elements that can be adapted to national traditions of personnel management and used in Ukrainian enterprises for effective human resource management are highlighted in this paper.

Abstract:
The article analyzes the factors and causes of the state of demotivation to work among employees of organizations. The author emphasizes the importance of employee motivation for the success of modern organizations and the undesirable consequences of its absence, which acquire the features of an organizational disease. Demotivation is considered by the authors as a decrease in motivation due to the influence of various circumstances. The factors that demotivate employees are analyzed and the probable causes of their occurrence are listed. The article highlights the personal and organizational groups of demotivation factors. Personal factors include chronic dissatisfaction with the dominant needs of employees; incentives used in organizations that become in reality limiting factors; changes occurring in the personal motivational complexes of employees; personal perception by employees of the actions of the organization’s managers as unfair. Organizational factors include unclear division of functions and implemented work processes between employees, unclear organization structure, low manageability of the organization, unclear goals, unreliability of decisions, widely used demotivating management style with a predominance of punishments over rewards, disrespect and neglect of employees. The article considers the employee’s motivational complex, consisting of internal motivation, external positive and external negative motivation, and determines the optimal motivational complex. Attention is paid to the demotivation process, the orientation of employee motivation. The differences in the general motivation of the employee for any actions and the labor motivation of the employee are determined. The necessity of analyzing the motives of people’s behavior in the working environment is emphasized. The article notes the need to distinguish between the real and declared motives of employees, to identify the deep needs, interests and values of people to prevent the state of demotivation.

Abstract:
AbstractExisting research suggests that leaders/supervisors are the major persons in work organizations to promote employee perception of job significance, which is an intrinsic motivator for employee productivity. However, the literature remains unclear on the relationship between workplace friendship and perceived job significance. Results from a survey of 290 Taiwanese employees indicated that workplace friendship enhanced perceived job significance, and such enhancement did not vary across organizational levels. Our findings suggest intrinsically motivating employees through workplace friendship, which extends extant literature on work role of leaders/supervisors in employee motivation. Further, although lower organizational levels have a disadvantage of objectively less job significance in work organizations, our findings suggest workplace friendship is an effective factor in promoting employee perception of job significance. Thus, organizations can embed the mechanism of workplace friendship into the factors of job design to promote employees' intrinsic motivation and thus job and organizational productivity.

Abstract:
A long-running debate in the small-firms’ literature questions the value of formal human resource management (HRM) practices, which have been linked to high performance in larger firms. The authors contribute to this literature by exploiting linked employer–employee surveys for 2004 and 2011. Using employees’ intrinsic job satisfaction and organizational commitment as motivational outcomes, the authors find the returns to small-firm investments in HRM are U-shaped. Small firms benefit from intrinsically motivating work situations in the absence of HRM practices and find this advantage disturbed when formal HRM practices are initially introduced. Firms can restore positive motivation when they invest intensively in HRM practices in a way that characterizes high performance work systems (HWPS). Although the HPWS effect on employee motivation is modified somewhat by the Great Recession, it remains robust and continues to have positive promise for small firms.

Abstract:
This research reviewed the history of motivation and performance modelling, with particular regards to the performance of employees in a work environment. The evolution of motivational theories was discussed before the motivational models arising from these theories were examined and critiqued. The wide range of, often conflicting, studies and theories in this area has led to a situation where no single model has been able to capture all the complexities of the internal and external influences on human motivation and performance. Models have broadly fallen into one of two categories: cognitive, focusing on the individual’s thought processes and social-cognitive, focusing on the influences from social and contextual variables. Bong [1996] suggested that a broader model of motivation may be developed by adopting either an integrative approach, whereby a general model is built that incorporates the wide range of potential motivational variables, or by building several models that focus on each dimension separately. Needs based and process based motivational theories, which will provide the foundation of any model of motivation, were reviewed in Chapter Three. Chapter Four then introduced the two existing models of motivation models that are the main focus of this study, Hackman and Oldham’s Job Characteristics model and Porter and Lawler’s Expectancy model. Each model was reviewed and critiqued before being amended and expanded to more fully explain the social and cognitive motivational processes and satisfy the criticisms identified. Although there are no obvious areas of overlap between the largely social-cognitive Job Characteristics model and the largely cognitive Expectancy model, Chapter Five explains that by changing the terms used to describe the variables in each model the similarities between them may be identified. Identifying the areas of overlap allows the two models to be integrated into one. This new model of motivation expands upon the original models in that it combines both the social-cognitive and cognitive approaches and also incorporates more of the motivational theories discussed in Chapter Three than either of the two original models. The new model of motivation was tested via a data survey in four organisations. In each case, the level of correlation between the levels of the recorded variables, such as satisfaction and motivation, and those predicted by the model were generally high. The results of the data survey and the performance of the model were discussed in Chapter Six. One of the main aims of this thesis was to produce a model of motivation that was of practical use to the management of an organisation. Such a model should go beyond the existing theoretical models and allow those responsible for motivating a workforce to experiment with alternative job design strategies and evaluate their likely effects upon motivation and performance. Chapter Seven describes the spreadsheet-based model that was built in this study.

Businesses have an ever-increasing need to improve productivity and reduce costs, while maintaining or improving their quality and customer satisfaction. At the same time, employees have become more mobile and less likely to remain with a company for an extended period. Therefore, an understanding and focus on employee motivation factors is essential for leaders to successfully inspire their organizations. This thesis is an investigation into the subject of employee motivation. Literature research was conducted to gain a broad overview of the published theories on this subject. The core of the thesis, though is focused on interviews with senior successful leaders from a variety of industries. A number of techniques exist to inspire and motivate employees depending on the situation and the leader themselves. This thesis presents various situations and motivational aspects cited by these leaders. Even though there is variation in motivational attributes across situations, an analysis of the interviews also reveals items that are consistently found to be critical success factors. These factors include top leadership involvement, full engagement of employees, frequent communication, consistency of actions and communications, and the opportunity to learn. All leaders interested in inspiring their employees to achieve successful results are encouraged to think about their performance in relation to these attributes.

Abstract:
Retail industry leaders seek effective strategies to improve employee motivation to increase levels of workforce productivity. The purpose of this single case study was to explore the strategies successful retail industry leaders used to motivate their employees to achieve higher levels of workforce productivity. The conceptual framework for the study was Vroom's expectancy theory of motivation. The research participants consisted of 2 retail store managers from the same retail store located in southeastern mid-Atlantic region of the United States who successfully motivated their employees. Data collection consisted of semistructured interviews, direct observation, and review of company documents. Data analysis included theme interpretation and data grouping, as well as transcript reviews, and verified the emerging themes from the interview data. The 3 main themes developed from data analysis were workplace motivation, leading by example, and performance. Retail industry leaders might use the findings of this study to provide managers with strategies to motivate their staff. The implication of this study for social change is that retail leaders might apply strategies that engage employees in their jobs while maximizing the sustainability of the organization.

Abstract:
Authenticity is a leadership characteristic of exceptional leaders. It is an essential requirement for future leaders, especially in an era when the motives and behaviours of many leaders are questionable. Authentic leaders are genuine and utter words that can be trusted (Smith, 2014.). Followers have voiced a need for leaders who can be trusted and show consistency in their actions. The study focused on the investigation of authentic leadership and the influence that authentic leadership has on the engagement levels of employees. A theoretical study of leadership, with the focus on authentic leadership and employee engagement was conducted to achieve the objectives of the study. The research included a literature study, which highlighted the characteristics and behaviours of authentic leadership. Both a theoretical and practitioner view of authentic leadership is included in the theoretical study. Semi-structured interviews were held with two prominent leadership practitioners, one from the University of the Free State and the other from the University of Stellenbosch, to obtain their views on the nature of authentic leadership and examples of South African leaders who they considered authentic leaders. The insights gained from the literature review and the interviews, were incorporated into a survey questionnaire developed for use in the empirical study which was conducted at Continental Tyre SA. An electronic questionnaire was administered to managers and their direct subordinates in the manufacturing and marketing/sales divisions. The questionnaire probed the respondents’ perceptions regarding the level of authenticity displayed by leaders in the organisation, and specifically the extent to which leaders demonstrated the characteristics and behaviours associated with authentic leadership. The Authentic Leadership Questionnaire (ALQ), as validated by Walumbwa, Avolio, Gardner, Wernsing and Peterson (2008, p. 64), was used as a basis for the development of the survey questionnaire, with adjustments made to include the practitioner’s perspective as postulated by George (2003, p. 12). The section in the questionnaire on engagement focused on engagement as a psychological state, behavioural engagement and the manager’s role in nurturing engagement. Both managers and employees were requested to provide their view of the manager’s characteristics and behaviours, the managers rated themselves, and both groups rated the engagement levels of employees. A correlation was made between the responses received from the manager and employees. The results of the empirical study revealed that both managers and employees agreed mostly that managers in the organisation displayed the characteristics and behaviours of authentic leadership and employees were engaged. It did however, emerge that the managers were reluctant to share personal information about themselves and that employees believed that managers did not seek feedback on their own behaviour. In terms of employee engagement, the results suggested that the managers believed that employees felt supported, accepted and were committed to the Continental Tyre SA brand; but indicated a lack of knowledge of their roles in the organisation and a lack of passion and energy. Further findings revealed that the managers in the marketing/sales division considered their employees more engaged than the managers in the manufacturing division considered their employees to be. Other findings also revealed that self-awareness in leaders is an important predictor of employee engagement. Self-awareness in a leader is an important feature in facilitating social processes in the leader’s relationship with their followers. Transparent leaders create a psychologically secure environment, enabling employees to be confident and to feel encouraged to express themselves freely. The study concluded with several recommendations. Leaders should be more transparent in their interaction with others by sharing personal stories about themselves. Opportunities should be provided through 360° feedback for employees to give feedback to managers regarding their behaviour. The GIVE (Goals, Interests, Values and Emotions) Model should be used in management development initiatives to facilitate the development of self-awareness and self-knowledge. An appreciative inquiry, which focuses on positive affirmation, should be an approach used in organisations to foster the development of genuine relationships and is an implication of authentic leadership, thus encouraging employee engagement.

Abstract:
Organisations are continuously searching for ways to increase their competitiveness as a means to survive in the global economy. More recently approaches have focused on the role that people perform in bringing about competitive advantage. Research indicates that engaged employees contribute vastly to the financial bottom-line of the organisation (see section 3.2.2). The research problem in this study was to identify strategies that organisations can use to engage their employees. To achieve this objective a theoretical employee engagement model was presented. The presentation of the theoretical model consisted of the following sub-processes: § Firstly, a literature survey was conducted to determine the underlying drivers/constructs of employee engagement. Abstract iii § The second comprised surveying the literature dealing specifically with approaches for measuring employee engagement. § Thirdly, the literature was surveyed to identify strategies and models used by organisations for engaging employees. The theoretical employee engagement model served as a basis for the compilation of the survey questionnaire that determined the extent to which human resource practitioners and line managers agree with the theoretical model developed in this study. The questionnaire was administered to a random sample of individuals employed in the automotive cluster in the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Municipality and the Buffalo City Metropole. The empirical results obtained from the survey indicated that respondents strongly concurred with the theoretical employee engagement model presented in the study. These results were included in the theoretical model, which lead to the development of the integrated organisational employee engagement model. The model comprises of four interrelated categories that all contribute to enhancing employees’ engagement. These categories are organisational leadership, organisational culture, organisational strategies and the manager’s role. From the literature survey and the study it became clear that the role of the manager, had the most significant impact on employee engagement of all the categories. In addition, the integrated organisational employee engagement model can be used by organisations as an applied strategy for the measurement of employee engagement. The main findings from this research are that 60 per cent of organisations that participated in the empirical study had implemented strategies to engage their employees. However, the majority of organisations reporting not having an engagement strategy were among organisations that employed less than 700 employees (smaller organisations). The study also highlighted certain variables that required special attention, especially when implementing employee engagement within the South African context. South African companies as compared to their overseas counterparts, rated organisational engagement variables such as remuneration, benefits and gain sharing lower. A further variable that was identified by the study requiring special attention was, ‘senior management shows a sincere interest in employees’ well-being’. A final point emanating from the study is that the implementation of employee engagement, as a strategy to enhance organisational competitiveness, must be viewed as a continuous process. Organisations should prior, to the implementation of an employee engagement strategy, consider whether they are prepared to share engagement results, take corrective action commensurate with the results and deal with employee expectations that may be incurred. The strategies espoused by the integrated organisational employee engagement model developed in this study, can be used by organisations to increase organisational competitiveness by improving their employees’ level of engagement.

Abstract:
Organizations in the public sector in Qatar have a reputation for delivering inefficient services. Leaders lack an understanding of motivational factors affecting public sector employee performance. The purpose of this correlational research was to examine the relationship between leadership styles and employee motivation in public companies in Qatar. The independent variables were the transformational, transactional, and passive-avoidant leadership styles. The dependent variable was employee motivation. The moderator variables were employee age and salary. A sample of 92 employees from 4 public sector organizations in Qatar responded to the online survey. The full range leadership theory served as the theoretical foundation for describing leadership styles of managers as perceived by employees. Self-determination theory served as the theoretical foundation for describing employee motivation. A hierarchical regression model was developed, and results of the study indicated a significant positive correlation between transformational and transactional leadership styles used by managers and employee motivation levels, with a standardized beta coefficient (β) above 0.6, and a significant negative correlation between passive-avoidant leadership style and employee motivation levels, with a standardized beta coefficient (β) below -0.57. Age moderated the relationship between transformational leadership and motivation. Salary moderated the relationship between passive-avoidant leadership and motivation. Leaders of public organizations in Qatar may use the results of this study to better support employee motivation and engagement. The study may contribute to social change by helping managers improve organizational performance and increase efficiency levels.

Abstract:
AbstractIn Japan, population ageing is leading the government to raise the retirement age to beyond 70, and even to 75 by 2040. This policy of maintaining older workers in employment is compelling companies to provide job opportunities to people with up to 50 years of work experience. This has consequences on the updating of skills—particularly, those related to new technologies, on employee engagement and motivation, on the management of age-related constraints in workstation ergonomics and work organisation, and it could pose a serious threat to safety. This chapter aims to describe the situation in Japan and the possible solutions put forward to overcome challenges. It then invites reflection on the management of longer careers in France and in Europe, where population projections also point to an increasingly aged population by 2040.

Abstract:
The success of a company depends on the employees, so the challenge for managers is to monitor their needs continuously and find ways to encourage them to work and achieve goals. By using a combination of compatible material and non-material techniques within motivation strategies, managers link long-term company goals and rewarding employees for work and achievements. The aim of this paper is to get insight into the used motivation techniques and strategic approach to motivation in companies in the Federation of BiH (FBiH). The survey was conducted in early 2019 and covered 63 companies. The most commonly used material motivation techniques are salaries, bonuses, and paid leave, and the most commonly used nonmaterial techniques are appropriate working hours, information on work results and the possibility of advancement. Almost half of the managers state that there are established rules for motivating employees in their companies, slightly more than ¼ point out that there is an established plan for motivating employees that is continuously implemented. Only a part of the surveyed companies, have a continuous, systematic way of monitoring employee motivation. Assessing motivation and taking corrective action is most often carried out by top management, two or more times a year. The results indicate that some companies in the FBiH have not yet realized that the human factor is a key factor in achieving better business results. In order for motivation to be truly effective, it must be approached in a planned and continuous manner.

Abstract:
Employee turnover has always been a problem for both employees and employers. Replacing employees may be costly, both in recruiting and training employees to obtain satisfactory levels of performance over time. The main theme discussed in the paper is turnover intention and it’s connection with organization’s motivation profile. High levels of employee turnover may decrease the quality and stability of services that organizations provide and as a result, that will increase client dissatisfaction with the services provided by the organization. That’s why it is very important for organizations to control their turnover percentage. The purpose of the study is to analyze the turnover intention based on key variables and connect them with organization’s motivation profile. The main principal objectives in the research are: to differentiate factors that influence employee turnover; to reduce turnover by changing organization’s motivation profile.In the research as main methods content analysis, interviewing and case studies will be used. A survey will be conducted, questioners to collect information from respondents will be made. And as mentioned, for data collection case studies, interviewing will be used.

Abstract:
People management has an important role to play in improving public agency performance. This paper argues that a ‘Route Y’ managerial approach focused on supporting the empowered exercise of employee judgment will in many circumstances prove superior to conventionalreform approaches steeped in ‘Route X’ monitoring and incentives. Returns to Route Y are greater when employees are or can become more “mission motivated” – that is, aligned with the goals of the agency in the absence of monitoring and extrinsic incentives. Returns to Route Y are also greater when monitoring is incomplete or otherwise likely to unproductively distort effort, thus lowering the returns to using performance-linked rewards and penalties. I argue that education systems are one (but far from the only) setting where Route Y is a lever worth focusing on in efforts to improve public performance in the developed and developing world alike.

Abstract:
We review the literature on people management and performance in organisations across a range of disciplines, identifying aspects of management where there is clear evidence about what works as well as aspects where the evidence is mixed or does not yet exist. We organise our discussion by four lenses, or levels of analysis, through which people management can be viewed: (i) individual extrinsic, intrinsic, and psychological factors; (ii) organisational people management, operational management, and culture; (iii) team mechanisms, composition and structural features; and (iv) relationships, including networks, leadership, and individuals’ relationships to their job and tasks. Each of these four lenses corresponds not only to a body of literature but also to a set of management tools and approaches to improving public employees’ performance; articulating the connections across these perspectives is an essential frontier for research. We find that existing people management evidence and practice have overemphasised formal management tools and financial motivations at the expense of understanding how to leverage a broader range of motivations, build organisational culture, and use informal and relational management practices. We suggest that foregrounding the role of relationships in linking people and performance – relational public management – may prove a fertile and interdisciplinary frontier for research and practices.
