Nowadays, many organizations among the world are facing a high level of employee turnover rate, and the main reason behind this turnover is the absence of motivational strategies in the workplace. However, motivation had become a critical element to achieve success among the organization.
Motivation is something that moves the person to action and continues him the cause of action already initiated. Motivation has the role to develop and intensify the desire of every member of the organization to work effectively and efficiently in his position. Managers nowadays aim to implement motivational strategies in the workplace to drive out the best of the employees and enhance performance. This can be done through implementing performance appraisals and assessing the employees’ needs and rewarding them since what motivates person X does not motivate person Y.
