Motivation is an internal force that drives people to action and accomplishment of goals. It is an ongoing process that produces goal-oriented behaviors and directs employees in a positive way to satisfy needs. Motivation is important for organizations as it leads to higher performance, helps achieve objectives, improves employee relations, and boosts effectiveness through reduced turnover and better use of resources which facilitates change. Motivation can come from financial incentives like pay and bonuses or non-financial incentives such as status, job enrichment, and recognition.
