Abstract

Businesses constantly seek methods for improving the basis of their operations with a goal on increasing organizational effectiveness and efficiency. Organizations are a complex group of people aimed towards achieving a common set of goals.This research paper aims to find correlations between employee motivation and the underlying value it brings, or does not bring, to each organization. Emphasis is placed on the intrinsic and extrinsic rewards and their effect on overall job satisfaction and dissatisfaction–such as turnover. Motivation differs from employee to employee and does not strictly fall under one category. Job satisfaction is also comprised of many facets such as employee pay, company environment, diversity, and overall management. Management establishes an all important foundation for all employees, and thus, plays a major factor in job satisfaction.

Keywords: employee motivation, job satisfaction, intrinsic/extrinsic rewards, management
