EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
HR plays very important role in the organization. In order to make any managerial
decision really meaningful, it is necessary to convert it in to an effective action, which
the manager accomplishes by motivating his subordinates. Motivation is very
important aspect in the organization. To motivate means to produce goals oriented
behaviour since increase in productivity is the ultimate goal of every industrial
organization, motivation of employees at all levels is the most critical and baffling
3
throughout the firm has motivational elements. Motivation encourage persons to gave
their best performance and help in reaching enterprise goals. A strong motivation well
enables the increased output of employees but a negative motivation will reduce their
performance.
Motivation is a psychological concept that generates with in an individual. It is an
inner felling which energies a person to work more. The purpose of motivation is to
create conditions, in which people are willing to work with zeal, initiative, interest
and enthusiasm with a high personal and group moral satisfaction, with a sense of
responsibility, loyalty and with pride and confidence in a most cohesive manner so
that the goals of an organizational are achieved effectively. Motivational techniques
are utilized to stimulate employee growth.
In order to motivate workers to work for the organizational goals, the managers must
determine the motives or needs of the workers and provide an environment in which
appropriate incentives are available for their satisfaction .If the management is
successful in doing so; it will also be successful in increasing the willingness of the
workers to work. This will increase efficiency and effectiveness of the organization
.There will be better utilization of resources and workers abilities and capacities.
The project covers the detail study of motivational level of employees and what
measures should be taken by the management to increase the level of motivation. Its
purpose is to know about companys technique for increasing the motivation of their
employees. And with the help of the questionnaire I have studied the responses of the
respondents on various things such as on working conditions, reward system, salary
package, and other policies of the company. There are some techniques of motivation
which Infogroup.in used such as marriage gifts scheme, Medical reimbursement, Self
motivation, suggestion and reward schemes, attendance allowances etc. This project
shows how much employees are satisfied with or not satisfied with the companys
working conditions, reward system, career development programmes, salary package
and promotional policies etc.

To some extent results of this have been affected by the time constraint & the
responses of the respondents. Although an attempt has been made to study all the
factors which could yield appropriate results.

CHAPTER -3
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK OF EMPLOYEE MOTIVATION
INTRODUCTION OF MOTIVATION
Rensis Likerthas called motivation as the core of management. Motivation is
the core of management. Motivation is an effective instrument in the hands of the
16
management in inspiring the work force .It is the major task of every manager to
motivate his subordinate or to create the will to work among the subordinates .It
should also be remembered that the worker may be immensely capable of doing some
work, nothing can be achieved if he is not willing to work .creation of a will to work
is motivation in simple but true sense of term.
Motivation is an important function which very manager performs for
actuating the people to work for accomplishment of objectives of the organization.
Issuance of well conceived instructions and orders does not mean that they will be
followed. A manager has to make appropriate use of motivation to enthuse the
employees to follow them. Effective motivation succeeds not only in having an order
accepted but also in gaining a determination to see that it is executed efficiently and
effectively.
In order to motivate workers to work for the organizational goals, the
managers must determine the motives or needs of the workers and provide an
environment in which appropriate incentives are available for their satisfaction .If the
management is successful in doing so; it will also be successful in increasing the
willingness of the workers to work. This will increase efficiency and effectiveness of
the organization .There will be better utilization of resources and workers abilities and
capacities.
17
The word motivation has been derived from motive which means any idea,
need or emotion that prompts a man in to action. Whatever may be the behavior of
man, there is some stimulus behind it .Stimulus is dependent upon the motive of the
person concerned. Motive can be known by studying his needs and desires.
There is no universal theory that can explain the factors influencing motives
which control mans behavior at any particular point of time. In general, the different
motives operate at different times among different people and influence their
behaviors. The process of motivation studies the motives of individuals which cause
different type of behavior.
According to Edwin B Flippo, Motivation is the process of attempting to
influence others to do their work through the possibility of gain or reward.
SIGNIFICANCE OF MOTIVATION
Motivation involves getting the members of the group to pull weight effectively,
to give their loyalty to the group, to carry out properly the purpose of the
organization. The following results may be expected if the employees are properly
motivated.
1. The workforce will be better satisfied if the management provides them with
opportunities to fulfill their physiological and psychological needs. The workers
will cooperate voluntarily with the management and will contribute their
maximum towards the goals of the enterprise.
18
2. Workers will tend to be as efficient as possible by improving upon their skills and
knowledge so that they are able to contribute to the progress of the organization.
This will also result in increased productivity.
3. The rates of labors turnover and absenteeism among the workers will be low.
4. There will be good human relations in the organization as friction among the
workers themselves and between the workers and the management will decrease.
5. The number of complaints and grievances will come down. Accident will also be
low.
6. There will be increase in the quantity and quality of products. Wastage and scrap
will be less. Better quality of products will also increase the public image of the
business.
MOTIVATION PROCESS
1. Identification of need
2. Tension
3. Course of action
4. Result Positive/Negative
5. Feed back
19
THEORIES OF MOTIVATION
Understanding what motivated employees and how they were motivated was
the focus of many researchers following the publication of the Hawthorne study
results (Terpstra, 1979). Six major approaches that have led to our understanding of
motivation are Mcclellands Achievement Need Theory, Behavior Modification
theory; Abraham H Mallows need hierarchy or Deficient theory of motivation. J.S.
Adams Equity Theory, Vrooms Expectation Theory, Two factor Theory.
20
It is the related to social needs and creates friendship. This results in formation
of informal groups or social circle.
2. Behavioral Modification Theory:
21
The needs, listed from basic (lowest, earliest) to most complex (highest, Latest) are
as follows:
Self actualization
Self esteem
Social
Safety & security
Physiological
4. J.S Adams Equity Theory :
Employee compares her/his job inputs outcome ratio with that of reference. If the
employee perceives inequity, she/he will act to correct the inequity: lower
productivity, reduced quality, increased absenteeism, voluntary resignation.
5. Vrooms Expectation Theory:
Vrooms theory is based on the belief that employee effort will lead to
performance and performance will lead to rewards (Vroom, 1964). Reward may be
either positive or negative. The more positive the reward the more likely the employee
will be highly motivated. Conversely, the more negative the reward the less likely the
employee will be motivated.
Douglas McGregor introduced the theory with the help of two views; X assumptions
are conservative in style Assumptions are modern in style.
X Theory
22
Y Theory
TYPES OF MOTIVATION
Intrinsic motivation occurs when people are internally motivated to do
something because it either brings them pleasure, they think it is important, or they
feel that what they are learning is morally significant.
Extrinsic motivation comes into play when a student is compelled to do something or
act a certain way because of factors external to him or her (like money or good
grades)
23
Positive reinforcement
Effective discipline and punishment
Treating people fairly
Satisfying employee needs
Setting work related goals
Restructuring job
Based rewards on job performance
Motivational methods:
4. Personal motivation style and learning: Everyone is different. Taking part in new
games and activities outside of the work situation illustrates peoples different
strengths and working style preferences. Mutual respect develops when people see
skills and attributes in others that they didnt know existed.
5. Continual development: Introducing people, staff or employees to new
experiences opens their minds to new avenues of personal development, and
emphasizes the opportunity for continuous learning that is available to us all.
6. Improving empathy and communications for motivation: To communicate we
must understand other person. Empathy and intuitive skills are right-side brain of the
brain, which we use when we communicate and understand others. Team activities
and games promote communications and better mutual understanding-essential for
good organizational performance.
CHAPTER -4
LITERATURE REVIEW
To research any problem, it is necessary to review the existing literature.
Various studies relating to different aspects of recruitment have been
conducted in the past. A brief review of some of the major studies in recent
years is given below.

very little about how motivation is expressed. The process theories interpret
the underlying process of motivation and indicates how to motivate people.
also learned but are not psychologically based. Secondary motives are
learned and are most relevant to the study of organization behavior.
Paul Mersey (1997)7 defines motivation as the driving force within the
individual that peoples him or her towards a behavior or action. Motivation is a
psychological concept that generates with in an individual. It is an inner
feeling which energies a person to work more. Management tries to utilize all
the sources of production in a best possible manner. This can be achieved
only when employees cooperate in this task. Efforts should be made to
motivate employees for contributing their maximum.

FINDINGS
In todays global environment organizations strive towards having a productive group
of employees, but this cannot happen only by selecting and developing personal in a
proper way. Individuals with extra ordinary competence can be hired but still un
organization cannot be sure that they will perform satisfactorily.
The major ingredient is motivation which activates the potential of employees.
From the data analysis the findings are as follows:
Most of the employees are the age group of 26-35
The average income of maximum employees exceeds Rs.1,00,000/ The majority of employees selected the job considering good salary offered by
Infogroup.in
Maximum employees are satisfied with the remuneration being offered.
The majority of employees agree the salary offered by Infogroup.in is own
path with that of the industry standards.
Maximum employees are satisfied by the incentive scheme being practiced.
Majority of employees are extremely satisfied with the leave policy of the
company.
Maximum employees consider the medical allowances benefit to be good.
Majority of employees consider flexible working hours are very important.
Maximum employees consider individual target setting to be very important.
Majority of employees consider team rewards play a vital role in increasing
individual efficiency.
Maximum employees consider the fringe benefits programme practiced
presently promotes and protects their well-being.

lead to deriving benefits and rewards.

CHAPTER - 7
RECOMMENDATIONS
The employees of Infogroup.in are exerting a great effort to perform because the
present motivational techniques adopted by the company are proving to be in the
desired direction.
From my study I have found some facts and some recommendations which may be
beneficial for the company to keep the motivational levels at desired position.
As the company practices employee suggestions schemes, there is a felling among the
employees that they suggestion offered by them if proved to be beneficial for the
organization do not lead to rewards hence the company should keep the employees
motivated by giving them suitable rewards and recognition for effective suggestions.
The benefits offered by the organization are proving to be effective in motivating the
employees as most of the employees are satisfied with the benefit system, however
the organization can adopt the system of flexible benefits which will give employees a
menu of benefits from which they can choose or tailor their benefits according to their
individuals needs and wants.
The system of job rotation will also keep the motivation level as repetation of same
type of job may lead to boredom.
Infogroup.in should organize programmes for representatives which will help them
develop close relationships and give them a chance to interact with other members of
the company.
