A combination of internal and external factors which are integrated to make a person stimulate towards a certain goal, task or a job. Its defined as a predisposition to behave in a purposive manner to achieve specific, unmet needs (Buford, Bedeian, & Lindner, 1995 ).

4. Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs Basic Needs : A employee want to satisfy its needs of food, clothes and shelter. After satisfying his physical needs he will seek job security to know how long he will be the part of business. Psychological Needs : These needs involve sense of belonging among the employees. They should feel the part of organization by giving them respect and recognition. Self-fulfilment Needs : Refers with the realization of person’s full potential. After achieving his four set of needs, he wants to be promoted and desires to get more skill.

A manager don’t have to implement all the theories at once or to put all the employees under one standard. It has to be vary from person to person and a manager should be aware of his subordinates stage of motivation. Tesco, Kellogg's and other big firms make sure they derive the employees to a certain task in such a way that it helps him to develop and the business overall.
