Motivation in Organisations
What is Motivation?
Motivation is that which energises, directs and sustains behaviour
(Steers & Porter 1979)
Motivation is important within organisations because managers need to know how to motivate their staff, so that they work harder, enjoy work life more and in turn generate more profit for the company. Its important to know; how people are motivated, why people are motivated and also how the manager themselves are motivated, because if they aren’t then it is very unlikely that the rest of the team will be.
