Abstract

Motivation directly relates to the achievement of employees and employee relations in the workplace. It is a term that has also been referred to as a catalyzer or an engine that runs the human forward. Achievement in the workplace deals with the pride and sense of accomplishment employees feel about their jobs and employers. This paper aims to recognize and describe the importance of certain factors in motivating employees. The authors concluded that managers must use various methods, such as modifying the work environment, promoting participation, and rewarding employees to be more resilient. They can improve job satisfaction by providing a positive work environment, recognizing employees' contributions, offering fair compensation, providing opportunities for growth and development, and creating a culture that values work-life balance. It is also essential to solicit employee feedback to identify areas for improvement and make necessary changes to enhance their job satisfaction.
