Managing employees is known to be one of the biggest problems businesses have to face. This is mainly because employers often don't know how to handle employees. Employee motivation is the psychological feature that arouses an employee to behave in a certain manner for accomplishing certain organizational goals. Individuals differ in motivation along three parameters - self-esteem, need for achievement, and intrinsic motivation. There has been a growing emphasis on employee's needs rather than just organizational needs, as well as recognition of the strategic value of employees being developed to their greatest potential.
