According to Frederick Winslow Taylor‟s main idea, monetary value can be a more important source of
motivation and according to his theory of scientific management, there should be a special Training, control and
supervision on the employees, breaking of bigger tasks to smaller tasks in order to get the work done.
Another important and renowned theory of Abraham Maslow helps out the managers in understanding the level of
employee‟s needs to be fulfilled in order to get them motivated. If a particular need is satisfied, the individual steps to
another need to get motivated. According to Maslow‟s theory, there is a hierarchy of needs and once lower level of need
is satisfied, higher level of need is generated. In employee‟s motivation context, managers should know the level of
need of an employee to get them motivated because an employee who has physiological needs to be fulfilled will not be
motivated if a manager will make a strategy which focuses on his social needs to be fulfilled to get him motivated.
According to Herzberg, there are two factors that motivate employees in a work place which are motivators and
hygiene factors. Motivators are the factors whose presence causes satisfaction and absence causes no satisfaction.
Motivators are so called the intrinsic rewards. Motivators include; recognition, sense of achievement, growth and
promotional opportunities, responsibility and meaningfulness of the work where as the hygiene factors are those factors
which are essential for a working environment to have. Presence of hygiene factors prevents dissatisfaction in
employees and their absence causes dissatisfaction. Hygiene factors include; pay/salaries, company policies and
administrative policies, physical working conditions, status, interpersonal relations and job Security. In the employee
motivation context, Two-Factor theory guides the managers to assure the sufficiency of hygiene factors to avoid
dissatisfaction and meanwhile, the nature of work should also be focused to be exciting and rewarding enough to grab
the attention, hard work and superior and productive actions of the employees. This theory also emphasizes upon job-
enrichment to motivate the employees. Employee‟s skills and competencies should be used to its maximum. Essentially
successful work behaviors can be produced if the managers consider motivators and hygiene factors to be an important
tool.
Statement of the Problem
Today many of the employees seem to be de motivated with their work or job. This de motivation leads
organizations towards the failure and bad performance. Manzoor, Awan, and Mariam (2012) state that employees of all
areas are dealing with stress and hence their performance is getting effected.
According to Broni and Nanyele (2012), accompalishing and managing good performance of employees to
accompalish organizational goals is a difficult job for the managers
Furthermore, Buchanan (as cited in Broni, 2012) finds that psychologists of the organizations are trying very hard
for at least 50 years to get along with the relationship between motivation and job performance. To overcome this
problem, many organizations are tailoring effective strategies and techniques.
Objectives of the Study
There are two objectives of this study which are as follows:
i. To investigate the factors of motivation in Pakistani employees.
ii. To investigate the relationship between employee‟s job performance and motivation.
Research Questions
i. What are the factors that affect employee‟s motivation?
ii. What is the relationship between employee‟s job performance and motivation?
Hypothesis
There is a relationship between employee motivation and job performance
Significance of the Study
The concept of motivation in employees is grabbing a lot of attention and space in the strategic human
management environment of the organizations. Tella, Ayeni, and Popoola (2007) emphasized on the need of making
employees satisfied and dedicated to the work they do in order to get them motivated at different stages.
The findings of this study will help the organizations to know the factors of motivation in employees and the
relation between employee motivation and work performance. So this study will be useful for the managers to make
effective strategies for employee motivation, an important tool to attain the organization‟s goals as Tella et al. (2007)
suggest that by knowing the motivational sources of people, managers can set tasks and rewards accordingly.

Limitation and Delimitation of the Study
This study is delimited to the employees studying in one Private University of Karachi.
Sample size and time frame had been the two major limitations of this study. Sample size of 50 couldn‟t get easily
generalized over the entire population of Karachi‟s professionals. Time frame of four months along with other courses
to study was quite short to gather more detailed data to make the study more interesting.
2.Review of Related Literature
The literature review in this study will discuss the argumentative comments of different researchers on the theories
of motivation and the affect of motivation on the performance of employees. These results from this literature review
will help managers in designing solutions and methodologies to motivate the employees.
According to the study conducted by Eisenberger, Rhoades, and Cameron (1999), factors such as good
performance, high perceived self-determination, and performance-reward expectancy positively impact employees‟
intrinsic motivation. In other words, if employees expect to be rewarded for performing a task well, their motivation
will increase to perform it well.
However, Mayo (as cited in Riley, 2012) states that Fredrick, in his theory ignored the point of meeting
employees‟ social needs in order to get them motivated. However, Tella et al. explains that Taylor also introduced
incentive systems to produce better performance, dedication, and contentment in workers.
In support of Mayo and contradiction to the Fredrick Theory, Al-Harthy (2008) proves that motivation caused
by appreciation has exceeded salary and benefit packages with a significant 10 % point difference. Similarly Chen, Wu
and Chen ( 2010) state that factors like encouraging work environment which makes the work interesting, the feeling of
accompalishment through demanding task, are usually neglected by the manager. However, the researcher of this study
observed that financial motivational sources also bring most constructive individual‟s creative behavior.
In addition to the above discussion of motivation, Tella et al. with respect to the Abraham Maslow‟s theory
declares that, motivation is what pushes the employees in accomplishing and satisfying the needs as Hansmann (2010)
states that Maslow assumes humans to be continuously motivated by needs. If a particular need is satisfied, the
individual steps to another need to get motivated. Furthermore Hansmann (2010) clarifies about Maslow‟s theory that
along with the hierarchically arranged needs, Maslow emphasized on the need for the consideration and knowledge of
the needs which has an impact on interest and motivation.
Now, when the researcher has mentioned as to what is motivation and how it‟s been effected through different
factors or what are the different factors gathered from different theories of motivation effect motivation in employees ,
researcher moves on to the importance of motivation in employees to perform better and accomplish organizational
goals along with personal goals.
According to Adewunmi, Omotuyole and John (2011), Job satisfaction and motivation are major determining
factors that assist in channeling the employee efforts towards the attainment of organizational goal. Similarly, Tella et
al. (2007) consider motivation as a factor which affects the individual‟s performance, However, there are other
important factors also which should be considered for example individual‟s ability and compitency, funds and working
situations. In addition to this, Chen et al. (2010) indicate that creative behavior at special levels is been effected by the
motivation while doing the job.
However, Meija et al. (2004) highlight that manager should have a clear understanding of work motivation
because employees with higher motivation produce a superior quality product or service than employees who lack in
motivation.
So, the researcher concludes that motivation in employees is brought through a combination of both, the
extrinsic and the intrinsic rewards. Organizational performance and its goal‟s achievement depend upon the will and
motivation of employees to achieve the personal goals aligned with the achievement of the organizational goals.
Without motivation, employees will be doing jobs just for the sake of necessity but not for the success of organization
which will finally result in dissatisfaction and decreased loyalty at ends, the manager and the employee.

an employee comfortable‟ (3.29), „motivation directly affects the performance level‟ (4.14) and „motivation and
performance are strongly interrelated‟ (4).
Table 5 shows the ranking order for the importance of factors of motivation and their relation with the
performance for the employees studying in one private university of Karachi. It is clear from the table that positive work
environment has strong impact on the job performance followed by the eagerness of gaining quality experience than the
aligning of job requirements with the skills. Both the male and female employees studying in one private university of
Karachi strongly believe that motivation directly affects the performance level and benefit packages cause motivation
followed by the financial appraisal for continuous improvement, motivation because of good relationship with working
partner, readiness for sacrificing today to benefit future. Both the male and female employees studying in one private
university of Karachi believe that motivation and performance are strongly interrelated. Moreover, the ranking order is
been followed in the way like Promotion in future and financial needs, autonomy, learning opportunities rather than the
benefit packages, appreciation and recognition more than the financial needs, priority of extrinsic rewards over the
intrinsic rewards while selecting a job. Priority of supervisor‟s personality over the monetary benefits in making an
employee comfortable has not got higher rating and the item with the least rating is that of performance is not affected
by motivation.
Discussion
The findings of this study follow the framework of Herzberg two-factor theory which is discussed earlier in the
literature review which states that employees are motivated by two factors. One is motivator, the intrinsic rewards and
the other is hygiene factors which are the extrinsic rewards hence the motivation in employees studying in one private
university of Karachi prove to be a balanced package of extrinsic and intrinsic rewards because according to table no.5,
the job performance and motivation are significantly affected by positive working environment, opportunity of gaining
quality experience, alignment of skills and job done by the employees and also through benefit packages. Similarly it is
proved by Sofat (2012) in her study of motivation on employee performance and Organizational, factors that affect
employee motivation are salary, job protection, promotion and appreciation as well as consideration, bonuses and
independence. This is similar to the previous study by Eisenberger, Rhoades, and Cameroon (2009) which determined
that rewards/pay for performance increase motivation among employees.
The findings also showed that 80% employees consider performance to be directly affected by motivation. This
result is similar to the study of Sofat (2012) in which 90% of the employees agreed to the point that motivation and
performance are related and therefore the organizational productivity is also affected with the level of motivation. In
addition to this Manzoor (2012) in her study of Impact of employees motivation on organizational effectiveness
concludes that motivated employees are good for a company‟s future overall performance and for the outcome of all
their assigned tasks.
It is evident with the higher mean rating of the male on item no.1, 2, 4, and 11 and lower mean rating on item
no.12 and13 in table no. 4 that male employees value extrinsic rewards and benefits more for motivation rather than the
intrinsic reward however, the male employees are more motivated with the learning opportunities also. Both male and
female employees are motivated if their job is aligned with their skills. Bull (as cited in Danish and Usman, 2010) state
that employees feel satisfied and motivated when they participate in difficult tasks where they practice their expertise
and talents. However, intrinsic rewards have their own contribution in the motivating process for employees. Following
the framework of Abraham Maslow‟s theory which is discussed in the literature review and the findings of Hansmann
(2010), this study shows that employees are motivated by needs which are evident from the strong positive responses on
item no.4 in table no.3. Job security motivates both the male and female employees almost equally. Male employees are
more eager to gain quality experience as shown in table no.4 with higher mean rating on item no.6.Male employees are
more motivated than the female employees if they are granted autonomy as shown in table 4 on item no.9.Male
employees, on item no.10 in table no.4 show significantly higher mean rating on the point of motivation because of
good relationship with working partner because males need to socialize more than the female employees. Chances of
promotion affect the motivation level in male employees more but it also affect on employees regardless of their gender
as Danish and Usman (2010) identify that there is a positive relation between opportunities of promotion and the
motivation at job. Appreciation and recognition affects the employees‟ motivation but it has a significant effect on the
female employees. As, Danish et al. further examine a positive relation between recognition and motivation.

5.Conclusion & Recommendations
Conclusion
This research was carried out to know the factors of motivation and their relation with the performance of the
employees studying in one private university of Karachi. The findings of this study presented the factors of motivation
and further showed that the male employees are slightly more oriented towards the extrinsic rewards than the female
employees. However, they have same needs of learning opportunities and job security in order to get motivated and
perform well. This study will help the managers to motivate the employees in getting their superior work behaviors by
designing different benefit packages and rewards.
Recommendations based on the Findings
To accomplish organization‟s goals, motivation in employees is necessary because it would produce superior work
behavior and therefore, managers of the organizations should identify the motivational sources of their employees
because male and female employees are usually different in their motivational sources and the managers should give
strong importance on the needs that both, male and female employees have in common to get motivated.
Recommendations for the Future Research
Future researchers can gather more secondary data for the deep understanding of the topic and primary data for
generalizing the results on a larger segment. This research study was conducted in Karachi; future researchers can
conduct the same nature of study in other various cities of the different or the same country. Moreover, future
researchers can also get the data with respect to the different levels of management because employees have different
needs at different managerial levels.
