tratrabaho syempre you motivate them pero dapat may makukuha ka din incharge sa
mga binibigay mo as a leader you want them to grow as a individual, more mature, para

 Analysis

Looking at the answers of both interviewees, it is safe to say that they both agree
in saying that motivation towards employees is really important. However both of them
have different ways in motivating their employees but both of them find it effective. Based
on their answers they have used specific theories of motivation in motivating their
employees like Maslow’s theory of motivation and the relativeness part of Alderfer’s ERG
theory. There are a number of theories and strategies of motivation out their but it looks
like the strategy that is mostly being used is giving incentives or materialistic things in
order to boost motivation and talking to them personally about certain things that bothers
them.

Motivation is a must for everyone especially inside the workplace because as like
both of the interviewees have said motivation of the workforce is very important towards
the success of the company.
