Why does motivation matter in business? In short, people's behaviour is determined by what motivates them. The performance of employees is a product of both their abilities (e.g. skills & experience) and motivation. A talented employee who feels de-motivated is unlikely to perform well at work, whereas a motivated employee can often deliver far more than is expected from them!
Benefits of a well-motivated workforce
A well-motivated workforce can provide several advantages:
● Better productivity (amount produced per employee). This can lead to lower unit costs of production and so enable a firm to sell its product at a lower price
● Lower levels of absenteeism as the employees are content with their working lives
● Lower levels of staff turnover (the number of employees leaving the business). This can lead to lower training and
recruitment costs
● Improved industrial relations with trade unions
● Contented workers give the firm a good reputation as an employer so making it easier to recruit the best workers
● Motivated employees are likely to improve product quality or the customer service associated with a product
