Motivation and Employee Performance

Course details

Introduction:

When looked upon the first time, the link between employee motivation and performance seems to be quite obvious. That's because every time when we deem a task to be important and valuable to us, we act with a high level of dedication and enthusiasm to its completion. However, the relationship between these two things is in fact a lot more complex. Realistically speaking, the duties we have at work can be most of the time tedious, repetitive and quite boring. Most of us don't go to work excited that we're going to have another day in which we'll respond to dozens of emails, complete a pile of Excel spreadsheets, or other tasks which fall into the dullness category.
