5. Skills variety : This refers to the range of abilities needed to
perform a job. Employee motivation will increase if team
members are using a variety of diverse skills in their positions,
rather than one set skill repeatedly.
Task identity : means the extent to which a job involves
completing an identifiable piece of work from start to finish, with
a visible outcome. Motivated employees will be more likely to
complete tasks if they identify with them and have seen them
through from start to finish.
Task significance : The extent to which a job is important to and
impacts others within and outside of the organization is known as
task significance. When employees feel that their work is
significant to their organization, they are motivated to do well and
this will lead to increased employee productivity.

6. Autonomy: It measures each employee’s level of freedom
and ability to schedule tasks. Employees like to be able to
make decisions and have flexibility in their roles.
Job feedback: This refers to the degree to which an
employee receives direct feedback on their performance.
Team needs feedback in order to motivate employees long-
term. Managers need to provide feedback on performance
throughout each employee’s tenure, and not just at an
annual or biannual performance review.

11. MOTIVATING BY EXTRINSIC AND
INTRINSIC REWARDS
An intrinsic reward is an intangible award of recognition, a sense of
achievement, or a conscious satisfaction. For example, it is the
knowledge that you did something right, or you helped someone and
made their day better.
An extrinsic reward is an award that is tangible or physically given to
you for accomplishing something. It is a tangible recognition of ones
endeavor. For example, it’s a certificate of accomplishment, a trophy or
medal for winning the race, a badge or points for doing something
right, or even a monetary reward for doing your job.

12. IMPACT OF WORKERS MOTIVATION ON
THEIR BEHAVIOR
Negative impact:
It can create conflict and tension at your workplace. That’s because
employees who don’t receive the same level of motivation may feel
resentful toward those who do, which can create discord.
Workers can become so focused on obtaining incentives that they feel
satisfied when they reach that goal and don’t push for more
Positive impact:
Some staff are motivated by monetary and non-monetary incentives,
they tend to feel more empowered to do their jobs at a consistently high
level.
