Hygiene factors: Hygiene factor if not present will discourage employees from doing their best at work. Hygiene factors are the surrounding factors that facilitate employees behavior.
Here are some of the examples of motivators and hygiene factor. This is an ideal situation any manager or supervisor would want to achieve. Here all the employees are happily motivated and have very few grievances.
In this situation, employees have very few grievances but are also not highly motivated. A very good example of this situation is employees are paid well but the work is not very interesting. Employees simply collect their pay cheques and leave.
This is a tricky one, here employees are highly motivated but also have numerous grievances. A typical example of a situation like this is when the work is extremely interesting but the employees are not paid as per the market standard.
No points for guessing, it is obviously a pretty bad situation. Here neither the employees are motivated nor are the hygiene factors are in place. First and foremost rectify and change bureaucratic company policies. Keeping both in mind draft policies that is a win-win with everyone. Ensure your managers are also mentors and not just bosses.
Each employee should be respected and supported. Make sure the compensation, perks, and bonuses are as per the market standards. To increase job satisfaction make sure the jobs are constructed well and employees find their jobs meaningful.
Respect their individuality, listen to their feedback seriously and take action wherever necessary.

Literature-wise, the intrinsic—extrinsic outlook of motivation lacks coherent research, and to the best of our knowledge, most of the past research addressed the intrinsic part e.
As such, we would align with the approach to distinguish the two work motivations as was reviewed in this section and consequently treat it as a predictor in our research. As such, engaged employees appear to be hardworking vigor , are more involved in their work dedication , and are more immersed in their work absorption see also Bakker et al. JE was initially proposed as a positive construct Kahn, , and empirical studies revealed that a high level of JE leads to positive work outcomes.
For example, recent studies exhibited its positive effect on individual job performance and adverse effect on turnover intention Breevaart et al. In terms of antecedents and predictors, it is broadly accepted that JE may be affected by both individual differences e. To the best of our knowledge, only a few papers examined the association between work motivation and JE. For instance, Rich et al. These assumptions lead us to hypothesize the following:.
H1: Intrinsic motivation positively associates with JE. H2: Extrinsic motivation positively associates with JE. Fundamentally different from being immersed or involved at work e.
This umbrella term encompasses two major core aspects: 1 investment of time i. Notably, many studies deal with the implications of working overtime e. However, to the best of our knowledge, empirical studies regarding the investment of efforts at work as an indicator of HWI e. Therefore, the current research addresses both of the core dimensions of HWI i. In reality, HWI consists of many different constructs e. HWI is apparently similar to JE, but these two constructs are distinct.
Examples of situational types are financial needs or employer-directed contingencies external factors , while dispositional types are characterized by individual differences internal factors , such as work motivation.
As previously mentioned, employees may be driven to work by both intrinsic and extrinsic forces, motivating them to engage in work activities to fulfill different needs e. Ultimately, these two mutually exclusive elements would translate into the same outcome—increased investment at work.
Consequently, we hypothesize further the following:. Theoretically, we see that although both aspects of investment are, probably, linked to JE, we may also conclude that these associations would differ based on the type of investment.
However, exerting more effort at work, by definition, means that one is more engaged, to whatever extent, in work e. In other words, while we expect that JE will be positively related to dimensions of HWI one must devote time and invest more effort to be engaged at work , we also assume that JE will be more strongly correlated with the effort dimension, rather than time. As such, we hypothesize the following:. However, they are still stand-alone constructs, which is the reason the current research gauge them both and correlate them, though they are both outcome variables an issue of convergent and discriminant validity.
An organization or a workplace is usually composed of several types of employees, albeit not all of them exhibit the same attitudes and behaviors at work. For example, temporary workers report greater job insecurity and lower well-being than permanent employees Dawson et al. Another example is of students i. They are, for instance, more interested in salary, promotion, tangible rewards in their job, and other such benefits Palloff and Pratt, Furthermore, capitalizing upon the COR theory Hobfoll, , , the main argument is that employees invest various resources e.
As such, a worker who is also a student will, by definition, have fewer resources at either domain work, social life, or family , as opposed to a worker who does not engage in any form of higher education at all.
Specifically, working students with a low level of motivation may take an interest in studies and thus not be likely to devote much effort to work. However, motivated working students will maintain their effort through effective time management because they highly value their current work. Thus, JE and HWI of working students will depend on their motivation to a greater degree than non-student workers. For the current study, the notion of working students versus non-student employees would be gauged, as not much attention was given to distinguishing both groups in research.
Usually, samples were composed of either group distinctively, not in tandem with one another. Hence, we hypothesize the following, based on our previous hypotheses:. This conditioning may also be dependent on international cultural differences. That is to say, we assume that we would receive different results based on the country under investigation because the social, work, cultural, and national values differ from one country to another.
As mentioned, countries differ from one another in many aspects. Different countries display different cultural codes, norms, and behaviors, which may affect their market and work values and behaviors. As such, it is safe to assume that work-related norms and codes differ from one country to another to the extent that working students may exhibit or express certain attitudes and behaviors in country X, but different ones in country Y.
Such cultural characteristics may affect the working attitudes and behavior of working students. Specifically, in Japan, working students try to devote as much time as possible even if they are under severe time constraints caused by the study burden. Moreover, sometimes, they experience guilt because they use their time for themselves i.
Thus, they engage in much overtime work as a tactic of impression management Leary and Kowalski, to make themselves look loyal and hard working. In addition, in Israel, there is high value to performance, while in Japan, competition between groups, usually is rooted in society and drives for excellence and perfection. Also, Israelis respect tradition and normative cognition.
These cultural differences led us to formulate the following hypotheses:. Figure 1. Research model. For hypothesis testing, this study conducted questionnaire-based research using samples of company employees who also engage in a manner of higher education i. Since working students in both countries do not concentrate in specific age groups, industries, or functional areas, participants were recruited from various fields.
Moreover, to reduce the impact of organization-specific culture, we collected data from various companies rather than from a specific company, in both countries. The research constitutes Israeli The demographical and descriptive statistics for each sample are presented in Table 1. The table also contains the result of group difference tests, pointing at some demographic differences between Israeli and Japanese samples.
Therefore, the following analyses include these demographics as control variables to control their potential influence on the research model and reduce the problem that would arise from said differences between the two countries.
Table 1. The items of the questionnaire were initially written in English and then translated into Hebrew and Japanese, utilizing the back-translation procedure Brislin, For the Israeli sample, a pencil-and-paper research survey was distributed to total potential participants in two universities and one college. One of the authors provided the questionnaire in several courses MBA and management, human resource management, psychology, and more , at the end of each class session. Those wishing to participate replied affirmatively and were included in the total sample.
We assured the anonymity and discretion of the participants and the data derived from the research and included a conscious consent question at the beginning of the survey asking for their agreement to participate. No incentives were given whatsoever to the participants for their cooperation. A total of surveys were distributed, yet only came back filled, and all of them were valid to use as data in the research. For the Japanese sample, the data were collected by using the online questionnaire system of Google spreadsheet.
Invitation messages were sent to the potential respondents via email or SNS messenger with the link of the questionnaire. One of the authors contacted full-time workers who participated in one or more of the following 1 strategic management and organization management classes of a Japanese private university, 2 human resource management course in an educational service company, or 3 one-off lectures conducted by the author.
All of them were non-student workers, and ultimately, 97 of them answered the questionnaire in full As for the working students, the same author reached out to three graduate schools through personal networks.
Then, he asked the liaison of each school to list up working students and send them the questionnaire link by email or SNS messenger. In total, the link was sent to working students in said three universities , and 74 completed the questionnaire Thus, the overall response rate was The data were analyzed utilizing the SPSS v.
It is a modeling tool based on ordinary least squares OLS and logistic regressions for basic and complex path analyses with strong algorithms and modular capabilities and can handle simultaneous moderation and mediations effects including moderated-moderation effects.
To elaborate, holistic testing of the entire model see Figure 1 via SEM will result in 15 different observed variables including the interaction effects and a two-group comparison, and abundant regression lines would result in a high number of degrees of freedom. It would also require a considerably higher sample size to meet the mathematical conditions for SEM. However, we should note that one of the limitations of PROCESS is the inability to test models with more than one dependent variable Y or more than one independent variable X , and as such it is required to test the model see Figure 1 separately—one for each predictor—criterion linkage.
As per Table 1 , we can see some differences between the two countries, and as such, we included them as covariates in the moderated-moderation analyses. It'll let you conduct short, frequent surveys, and make it easier for HR to quickly gather and act on vital feedback about what makes employees tick. As a business leader or HR member, employees may find it difficult to be honest in face-to-face interviews, so confidential questions are a great way to get a full picture of the business.
The best solutions will display your results on a real-time dashboard, allowing you to quickly measure trends and identify issues before they become larger problems.
This also allows you to understand what employees find motivating and what they feel may be holding them back - so you can swiftly implement a solution. You also have the ability to regularly check back with them to see if anything has improved or changed. Showing that you care, listen and act upon the things that really matter to them, will - ultimately maintain motivation.

Why employee motivation is important and how to improve, measure and maintain it. What is employee motivation? Why is employee motivation so important? What are the benefits of employee motivation? Higher productivity levels If people are motivated to work faster and more efficiently, this will lead to more output. More innovation Not only will they produce more, but motivated employees are also more likely to make the offering even better.
Lower levels of absenteeism Motivated employees are happier with their working lives and have a goal that they are working towards.
Lower levels of staff turnover Motivated employees are more likely to stay in their roles as they can see the effects of their work and feel that there is an ongoing difference that they can make in the company.
How do you improve employee motivation? Lead with vision Everyone wants to know that their efforts are driving towards something. Set frequent clear targets You obviously have big targets that you want to hit as a company, but smaller goals are the key to motivation.
Recognise great work Employees need to know that leaders see and appreciate their efforts. Very rarely do people spend time actually considering what their motivation is to do well at work or in life. Motivation is simply the reason that someone will act or behave in a certain way, or their desire for something, or sometimes even more importantly, their desire not to have something.
When you want to get employees to do something, you have to give them a good reason if you want to elicit a certain type of behavior from them. Motivation can come in many forms and can be positive or negative.
Finding out what motivates your employees to do well is the key to good management. Motivated employees exhibit increased productivity and more pride in their work. Turnover rates are significantly lower when motivation is high, and overall performance is improved.
The benefits of having a motivated workforce can be measured in increased employee commitment, improved job satisfaction, and more efficiency in the workplace. The positive effects of good motivational strategies will be felt by both the employee and the company.
There are many ways that people can become motivated. Other motivations are based in less tangible things like pride, recognition, achievement, and personal development.
