1. Introduction of Employee Motivation.



The majority of BPO organizations are competing to survive in this volatile and fierce market environment. Motivation and performance of the employees are essential tools for the success of any organization in the long run with expected profits ( Naseem et.al, 2011).

Nowadays most of the BPO organizations are facing an experience of high turnover of employees of the company so it is very important to motivate the employees to retain by giving benefit to improve the organization revenue and performance (Ramlall, 2004).and on the other hand, measuring performance is critical to the organization’s management, as it highlights the evolution and achievement of the organization. On the other hand, there is a positive relationship between employee motivation and organizational effectiveness, reflected in numerous studies (Wang et.al, 2011).

This full explanation aims to analyze the drivers of employee motivation to high levels of organizational performance. The literature shows that factors such as empowerment and recognition increase employee motivation (Lindner, 1998).If the empowerment and recognition of employees is increased, their motivation to work will also improve, as well as their accomplishments and organizational performance. Nevertheless, employee dissatisfactions caused by monotonous jobs and pressure from clients, might weaken the organizational performance (Wu, 2011).
Therefore, jobs absenteeism rates may increase and employees might leave the organization to joint competitors that offer better work conditions and higher incentives (Dobre, 2013).Not all individuals are the same, so each one should be motivated using different strategies. For example, one employee may be motivated by a higher commission or bonus levels while another might be motivated by job satisfaction or a better work environment ( Argyris ,1980).

All organizations want to be successful, even in the current environment which is highly competitive (Marques, 2013).Therefore, companies irrespective of size and market strive to retain the best employees, acknowledging their important role and influence on organizational effectiveness. In order to overcome these challenges. Companies should create a strong and positive relationship with its employees and direct them towards task fulfillment (Castro and Martins, 2010).

In order to achieve their goals and objectives, organizations develop strategies to compete in highly competitive markets and to increase their performance. Nevertheless, just a few organizations consider the human capital as being their main asset, capable of leading them to success or if not managed properly, to decline. If the employees are not satisfied with their jobs and not motivated to fulfill their tasks and achieve their goals, the organization cannot attain success (Pirtea et.al, 2009).

Employees are the main asset of any organization. For this the reason, management has to implement different motivation factors to increase productivity (Dugguh, 2014).
According to Manzoor (2012). Several organizations believe that the employees are its main asset and they will lead to organizational growth. Coyle-Shapiro and Shore (2007). stated organization has a great relationship with employees further, both parties exchange the benefits and they trust each other.
People have many needs that are continuously competing for one with another. Each person has a different mixture and strength of needs, as some people are driven by achievement while others are focusing on security (Dobre, 2013). If the managers are able to understand, predict and control employee behavior, they should also know what the employees want from their jobs. Therefore, it is essential for a manager to understand what really motivates employees, without making just an assumption. Asking an employee how he feels about a particular situation does not provide an accurate evaluation of his needs, as the interpretation could distort the reality itself (Herzberg, 2008).

The closer one gets his perception to a given reality, the higher is the possibility to influence that specific realty. Thus, managers can increase their effectiveness by getting a better grasp on the real needs of the employees ( Baldoni ,2005).

  2. Hi Bimal, agree with you. The most vital assets of organizations are employees and they are considered as the engine of any organization (Mohsen et al., 2004). The motivation is a psychological process, along with personality, attitudes, perception, and Learning and also is a very important element of behavior (Tella et al., 2007). As a result of motivation, individual stimulates to taking an action on their own, which will result in the attainment of some goals, or satisfaction of certain psychological (Georgeb and sabapathy 2011). After considering all facts of motivation, it is obvious, that motivation is very significant in the achievement of every organization’s growth (Geomani, 2012).

  3. Well discussed Bimal. Adding further to strengthen your view on employee motivation; Human resource molded with correct drivers of motivation is the powerful tool in creating and attaining the competitive advantage, which distinguishes the organization from its competitors; with the capacity of directing themselves towards the organizational goals, which cannot be achieved by any other resources in the organization (Ovidiu, 2013). The author further highlights that the management should construct motivation strategies which can encourage employees to bring out their best potentials. As studies proves that an environment with the poor employee morale’s & motivation concludes at poor productivity (Osabiya, 2013).

  4. Agreed with your views Bimal. Global business environment if fast changing and the organizations which are adaptable to the change are the one going to survive. Organizations need to frame strategies in order to endure the challenging competition, and the one which are able to survive will be able to sustain longer than others. One of the greatest challenges organizations face today is how to manage turnover of work force that may be caused by migration of a lot of industrial workers. This may be because of their lack of Motivation and commitment for the organization; this point of view emphasizes the importance of the study of Motivation and its relationship to Job Satisfaction (Prof. S. K. Singh & Vivek Tiwari, 2011)

  5. Bimal, I agree with you of the fact than you have stated about the employee empowerment increases the motivation level of the employees, Beardwell, (2004 ) mentioned that employee Empowerment is an initiative in its own right, which can be all-pervasive in organisational terms. In addition, empowerment can be seen to be managerially inspired, with limited powers given to employees.

(Mandell and Klein, 2007).

  6. Agree with you Bimal, According to Armstrong (2014) motivation is goal-directed behaviour. People are motivated when they expect that a course of action is likely to lead to the attainment of a goal and a valued reward – one that satisfies their needs and wants.

    1. Thank you for commenting and according to Young et.al (2012) money is the foundation of everyone's lifestyle and money is a strong motivator and using bonus. Money as an employee incentive is one of the best way to get the most from your staff. Giving simple incentives and rewarding employees could also be a better part of the company benefits. But many employees have different motivations for coming to work and doing a good job, and it's up to the organization to get the most out of all of them (Mandell and Klein, 2007).So that financial and non-financial techniques and rewards are very essential to motivate the organizational employees.

  7. Agree Bimal.According to Chowdhury (2006), motivation is the
    evolution of supporting and moving behavior of directed goals. Further, Reena et al,2009, explains motivation as the inner power that pushes employees to achieve the organizational and personal objectives.
