CONCLUSIONS

Motivation is important simply because it allows you as a leader to meet and even exceed your own organizational goals! After all, that's the whole point of leading, isn't it? In fact, without a motivated workforce, your organization will be in a very precarious position. Once at this intersection, there are only two possible final destinations: bankruptcy or fix the motivational issues among your workforce. Eventually, one or the other will prevail!

There are numerous benefits of having motivated employees

Cost savings Speed to market Increased product value

Contributing to a better society

Research has shown that motivated employees will: • Always look for a "better" way to complete a task • Be more quality-oriented • Work with higher productivity and efficiency

INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL MOTIVATION

To INCREASE employees‘ efficiency and work quality, managers must turn to understanding and responding to individuals' internal and external motivations. External motives include work environment (e.g., cramped cubide vs. airy, open office); internal motivations include thoughts and emotions(e.g., boredom with performing the same task over and over vs. excitement at being given a wide variety of project types).
