MOTIVATION

Description

Motivation of employees is one of the greatest challenges managers are confronted with in organisations. How are employees in organisations motivated to work as a team in order to achieve organizational goals? The role or importance of motivation must not be underestimated, particularly in the attainment of organisational objectives. Again, the links between motivation and organisational objectives, as well as the roles leaders play are inseparable. In other words, leadership and motivation are intricately tied together. Different employees in different organisations are motivated differently with varied motivational devices by managers who inspire them to act towards achieving organisational goals.
