MOTIVATION

A critical review of key factors or indicators in the motivation of employees in an organization

Abstract

“Great scholars say you should do something special to recognize people and should praise them. Compliments cost nothing to you. However, if you come up with something special to accompany, the praise will be a success, "advises Brent Longnecker, president of a consulting firm to employee compensation. Offering flexible working hours and a Friday off from time to time have proven to be the best prizes. With free time, employees can attend to other commitments or enjoy a weekend on a good note. On Monday, they come back to work after resting and are ready to work more eagerly (Farfan, 2013, n.d).  Regardless of the premium you choose to deliver both Longnecker as Moynihan observed that it should be random and occasional. If you start handing out gift cards every week, they become an expectation, not a prize.The following paper discusses the motivational factors in the organizations.
