Concept of Employee Motivation :
Motivation is the process of creating willingness among the employees to do something to achieve organizational goals and at the same time, to satisfy individual needs. Motivation will create the kind of environment in which people are enthusiastic and have a desire to work. It is important for managers to know what factors lead human resource toward good work performance and productivity. An employee who is not motivated cannot contribute good performance no matter how able he or she is. It is energetic force that drives people to behave in particular ways. Individuals in the organization are motivated by different factors. Some individuals are motivated by monetary incentives whereas other are motivated to work by challenging responsibility.

Types of Motivation :
1) INTRINSIC MOTIVATION :
This motivation is related to the job one is doing. When a skilled operative performs a job well, he or she derives a sense of satisfaction. Intrinsic motivation satisfies the creative instinct in an individual.

2) EXTRINSIC MOTIVATION :
This motivation is external to the job or task. For example, financial incentives for doing a job well may motivate the worker. Other external motivators are: praise, recognition, admiration, working conditions, and other facilities.                                                                      ***********************************************************************
