HR Research proposal CIPD: Motivation is the Reason for

Success of an Organization

Introduction

Industrialization and technological advancements in nineteenth century resulted in the growth of organizations and corporations with more developed systems and legislation. In order to resolve problems of management and employees there was a term “human resource management” that treats employees as the major resource, and at the same time it was more complicated to control due to social and psychological concerns with human beings (www.cipd.co.uk). This was the reason that human resource management deals with allocation of this resource according to their skills and abilities. HRM also deals with the improvement of their efficiency through motivation and various leadership strategies.

Motivation is the most important factor to control and manage human resource. Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) is one of the organizations of Europe that has over 135,000 members, and is the leading organisation for HR professionals in the UK and Ireland (www.cipd.co.uk). “The CIPD is committed to playing a leading role in ensuring that HR professionals, organisations and the profession as a whole, are able to grasp the very real opportunities available now and in the future” (www.cipd.co.uk). Advancement of technology and increase in the global competition imposed threat for organizations to maintain future sustainability. Therefore, CIPD provide different strategies, assistance, training, and guidance for the leadership practices and management of human resource.
