According to Greenberg (1999), motivation is defined "as a process of exciting, directing and maintaining behavior towards a goal". Where “directing” refers to the selection of a particular behavior; and “maintenance” refers to the inclination to consistently behave in that way until the desired outcome is achieved. Motivation is the force that transforms and elevates people so that they are productive and perform in their work. Maximizing employee motivation is necessary and vital to successfully achieve organizational goals and objectives. However, this is a considerable challenge for any organization manager, due to the complexity of motivation and the fact that there is no ready solution or answer to what motivates people to work well (Mullins,2002). Mullins (2002) also classifies motivation into intrinsic and extrinsic. Intrinsic motivation involves psychological rewards to increase job satisfaction, such as the opportunity to use one's skills, a sense of accomplishment, receiving positive appreciation and recognition, or being treated thoughtfully (Mullins, 2002: P490). Such methods ensure that employees are constantly motivated while engaged in enjoyable and rewarding activities. The manager's function is to complete a task on time. The task or project can be very simple or extremely complex and technically challenging. Where a manager must find ways to motivate the people working on the business. To understand how to motivate people, a manager must also understand the difference between management and leadership. An understanding of motivation methods, including traditional theories from the early to mid-21st century to more modern theories of motivation, is... at the heart of the paper... a need for everyone, thus making work for the manager is more difficult to respect the entire employee. Motivation is an important function in organizations to motivate their employees for their ability to perform well, improving their skills, increasing productivity, job satisfaction and employee extension. Also, employees are not machines where we could just program their task into the brain and they will do it automatically, they need motivation to actually do their job properly. And so, after discussing Maslow's “Hierarchy of Needs” process models, Douglas McGregor's X and Y theory, and also Herzberg's “two-factor hygiene theory of motivation”. understand ways of motivating people, human nature and the substance of nature. I believe that true motivation can only come from within and that managers can also effectively motivate all their employees.
