“A Study on various techniques of motivation of employees”fiza91
Motivating employees can be one of biggest challenges as an employer, but learning how to inspire each individual is the key to a successful organization.
The JD-R Model developed by Arnold Bakker and Evangelia Demerouti in 2006 categorizes working conditions into two categories: job demands and job resources. Job demands refer to stressors like workload, ambiguity, and relationships, while job resources like autonomy, relationships, and development help achieve goals and reduce stress. The model states that high demands and low resources lead to stress and burnout, while resources can offset demands and encourage motivation. To apply the model, managers should identify demands, address them, identify resources, and promote resources to lessen stress and increase engagement.

The document concludes by advocating for an occupant-focused approach that integrates these human factors into programming, design, retrocommissioning, and operations.

What Motivates People, Really?
BY RICK CONLOW AND DOUG WATSABAUGH
When we work with managers across the country, the most often asked question is, “How do you
motivate people?” It’s as if there is a magic wand to wave or a pill they can take to inspire those who
seem to lack motivation. The truth is that everyone is already motivated. It’s just that many
employees aren’t passionate or committed to the things managers want them to do or accomplish.
Sure, the employees have a job and want to do it well enough to get paid and not get fired, but what is
it that will motivate them to want to do better, keep learning and go the extra mile?
In his classic Harvard Business Review article, “One more time: How do you motivate employees?”
Frederick Herzberg seems irritated by managers’ continued concern about motivation. Maybe we just
need to pay attention! According to his work, the factors that motivate most people are:
• Achievement
• Recognition
• The work itself
• Responsibility
• Advancement
• Growth
• Learning
Our opportunity as managers is to leverage these factors to enrich employees’ jobs.
Notice that money isn’t on the list. The reason is that just as many people say money is a job
“dissatisfier” as it is a job satisfier. Plus, Herzberg argues that incentives are more of kick in the
pants than a motivator. A kick in the pants can be negative or positive, fear-based or monetary
incentive-based. Herzberg says both produce movement, not motivation. Movement means there is
a change in results, but largely because the manager took action rather than the employee. This lacks
sustainability. Motivation means the employee has an internal generator to want to do the job better
or more effectively and isn’t influenced by an external reward or carrot. This produces more
consistent efforts.
Total quality management studies support this and find employees most motivated or satisfied on
the job by:
• Interesting and challenging work
• Recognition
• Feeling of being in on things
• Benefits
• Pay
