Motivation 1

The motivation of the employees is a crucial tool that every manager should possess to

help in the achievement of the goals of an institution or a business firm. The productivity of the

employees plays a huge role in the success of an institution or a firm. Therefore the employees

should be highly motivated to increase their work output towards achieving the goals of the firm

(Herzberg, 2017).Various motivation theories are used in establishing an approach on how to

motivate the employees.

In my view, Vroom’s expectancy theory demonstrates the best approach to motivate

employees to improve their performance and commitment to their job. This theory place more

emphasis on the motivation process and the content needed to create motivation among

employees as well as considering the needs of the workers. This approach views motivation as a

voluntary behavior whereby workers chose to be available and be committed to their jobs.

According to this theory, employees’ motivation is based on factors of expectancy,

instrumentality, and valence. In orders to achieve the desired goals, the employees must believe

that commitment, and hard work will lead to attaining of the desired goals (Purvis et al., 2015).

Through this approach, the employees also believe that their dedication and hard work will get

rewarded in a way. The valence factor focuses on the value of the reward that will be earned.

Through this approach, the managers are tasked with the responsibility of ensuring that

the expectancy of the workers is high throu8gh believing that the harder they work, the better the

results. The managers should also consider a reward for the performance. Workers get more

committed to their work and become willing to spent effort and innovation to better their

performance at work if any of the three factors misses the motivation of the employees' decreases

leading to low productivity of the employees.

In conclusion, this motivation approach is based on the interests of the employees who

are will to be committed to their jobs. Recognizing the efforts of the employees through rewards

motivates employees to perform better.
