MOTIVATION:

MOTIVATION:

1. motivated staff are more productive:

   • motivated staff work harder , which leads to high productivity - workers want the firm to do well and so do their jobs as well as they can to help this happen. Staff who are motivated and happy in their jobs are more likely to stay with the firm. Having a high level of staff retention is good for a firm as it means less time and money is spent having to recruit and train new workers , which reduces the firm' s cost having highly motivated staff may also attract new employees to the firm. this makes recruiting new staff easier because there are likely to be lots of applicants for vacancies.
   • employers can gives staff financial extras
     • 1) A lot of production jobs are boring and repetitive , e.g working on a factory assembly line. jobs rotation reduces this by occasionally moving workers from one job to another .
     • 2) this motivates workers as they dont' get so bored . they also learn to do different jobs, so if someone 's ill, someone else will be able to cover.
     • 3)The problem is that if one boring job is replaced by another it doesn't improve job satisfaction.
       • job enrichment gives workers better things to do
         • 1) job enrichment is when a worker is given greater responsibility - for example supervising the work of new staff.
           • 2) as a worker become good at their job they become more productive - they can do the same work in less time . so, giving workers more responsibility can stop them from feeling that the increased productivity is being pushing by more of the same work .
             • 3) it gives workers new challenges and so many motivate them to work harder .
               • a problem is that they many expect a pay rise as well. some people are never happy............

2. financial motivation can be wages or a salary :

   • 1) Most people get remuneration ( payment ) for the work they do for an employer (some people might not e.g if they're doing voluntary work).
   • 2) Often, the more that a worker is paid , the more motivated they feel to do their job .
   • 3) Workers can be paid with wages or with a salary .
     • 4) wages are commonly paid weekly or monthly - usually to manual workers . the amount paid is based on the amount of work that the employee does.
   • 5) a salary is a fixed amount paid every month - this doesn't change even if the number of hours a worked does changes. it is usually paid to office staff who do not directly help to make the product . a salary of 24 000 means you are paid 2000 per month
   • 6) the advantage of a salary is that the firm and workers both know exactly how much the pay will be. however r , it doesn't link pay directly to performance , so it doesn't encourage employees to work harder .

3. autonomy gives workers a chance to make their own decisions

   • 1) autonomy manes giving workers the freedom to make their own decisions. workers many be told their overall goal but not told specifically how they should achieve it .
     • 2) this responsibility motivates workers as it make them feel trusted and like their contribution is valued.

         • ranbir gives each head chef autonomy over the menus in their restaurant . ranbir decides how profitable the menu should be , but leaves it up to the head chef to decide what dishes go on the menu , where the ingredients will come from , the pice of each dish , ect
