Motivation suggests that the concerned people should be move and act in different circumstances. People are motivated based on their need and sometimes based on the pressure they receive from the working environment. Often, people commit to do a certain task because they want to excel in their field and their interest and values that they place on their work. Most of the time, the actions or the practice of the employees might be the representation of the culture (Ryan and Deci, 2000). Motivations can deliver the control, interest, excitement, and confidence, which in return manifested in enhanced performance, persistence and creativity. If the approach of the motivation is applied continuously, there is no doubt that every student or employee will reach their best potential in their respectful field. Motivation is mostly applied in the workplace that can drive the performance of the employees. The interaction of the employees with the other people and their working environment is a great advantage to apply the motivation. In the long-term use of the motivation and its principles, there is a positive result in meeting a quality job performance. Firstly, satisfaction must first be met to realize that there is an improvement in their job.
Satisfaction means answering the needs of the person and as an employee, the organization should build different strategies. An employee’s performance is jointly determined by the two key factors which is the value placed to achieve the outcome and the degree of effort. Satisfaction raises several interesting thought regarding the motivation and the job involvement of the employee. Since the needs are met, the employees are satisfied and they can create a happy mood which most of the firms needs to assess as the employees can be transformed in to more productive people. Commitment of the employees is the effort of the employees to have controls wherein the entire organization has an influence in their job. The importance of the job design and job involvement can also increase the job satisfaction and performance because when the employee is fits his educational background on the nature of his work; there is a significant result on the process of performing that specific job (Baker, 2001). Organization should make the employee feels that their presence in the organization is worthy. Their belongingness in the workplace is an important factor in recognizing the productivity. This achievement can be in the way where the needs are satisfied such as their self-esteem need and self-respect, appreciation or recognition, the safety and security of the employee (Wright, 2001).
