One way which corporate entities strategically undertakes to improve performance and thereby increases productivity is through payment of appreciable salaries to workers.

Description: Motivation is the forces either within or external to a person that arouse enthusiasm and persistence to pursue a certain course of action (Richard L. Daft, Marttyn Kendrick, Natalia Vershinina 2008). Employee motivation affects productivity, and part of a manager’s job is to channel motivation toward the accomplishment of organizational goals. The study of motivation helps managers understand what prompt people to initiate action, what influence their choice of action, and why they persist in that action over time. People have basic needs for food, achievement or monetary gain that translate into an internal aspiration that motivates specific behaviors’ with which to fulfill the need. To the extent that the behavior is successful, the person is rewarded in the sense that the need is satisfied. The reward also informs the person that the behavior was appropriate and can be used again in the future.
