To study and know the employee motivation design in Kemapco.

2. Review of literature :
2.1 Motivation:
Motivation, simply, we can define it as the degree which makes people act in the
certain way they do or like.
Motivation (The extent to which they are willing to perform well) and by their
ability (the extent to which they possess the skills and abilities necessary to perform
Page6

well). Feldman and Daniel (1983) are jointly determined by both motivation and
ability.
"Motivation" is the process of urging people to act in ways which serve the needs of
the organization providing the incentive.
We can say that the story of motivational theory is related to the starting of twenty
century,
Motivation can also be described as something desire the person needs to get it.
Motivation plays an important in the connection between management and its
employees.
We can say the beginning of studies of motivations refers Hawthorne Experiments
carried out by Elton Mayo.
This study was seen the employees are not motivated alone by money and employeebehavior is linked to their attitudes (Dickson, 1973).
We have to take into account that the studies cleared that performance in workers
increased when workers were given attention and personal interest in their work was
especial point.
From that date we noted there are four specific theories of motivation were stated and
generally accepted in the field of motivational theory.
So, we will find Abraham Maslows Hierarchy of needs which states that employees
have five levels of needs and the rest theories which will explain them in the next
paragraph.
Motivation Theories:
Motivation, simplicity, we can define it as the degree which makes people act in the
certain way they do or like.
Truly the motivation begins with the needs that found in our life, so, if those things
are not satisfied we put a target and do our utmost best to catch this goal/ target.
The persons in any organization are differs from one to another , for example Fathi try
to get his PHD trust in order to be as he thought while another person would like to
earn different thing.
Briefly, the organization environment sometime is differently due to situation for each
person.
Human life consists of the number of theories that explain peoples behavior.
Those theories explain human motivation through human needs and human nature.
The famous of the same is related to Maslow's Need Hierarchy Theory, McGregorsTheory x and y and Herzberg two factor theory.
Page7
7/28/2019 Copy of the Impact of Motivation on the Employees in Banks in Aqaba 4
8/25
We'll insert our perception on each theory in brief as follows:-
1. Maslow's Need Hierarchy Theory
2. McGregor Theory x and y and
3. Hertzberg Two Factor Theory.
1. Maslows Hierarchy of needs:
it consider as the first theory and which is known in 1943 by Maslows Hierarchy of
needs also its famous as A Theory of Human Motivation.
According to this theory there are five levels of needs of individuals, starting with the
physiological needs (which include of basic needs for Humans to be a life such as air,water and food) and ending with the top-level of needs which describe as self-
actualization needs exist, this level of need a agree with getting the persons full
possible so already walk in the previous steps safety needs, belonging needs and self
esteem needs.
2. Theory X and Theory Y:
McGregor developed two theories of human behavior at work: Theory and X and
Theory Y.
Theory X workers could be mentioned as follows:-
Individuals dislike work and avoid it where possible.
Individuals lack willing to work.
Individuals dislike responsibility and prefer to be led by others.
Individuals like to security.
Page8
7/28/2019 Copy of the Impact of Motivation on the Employees in Banks in Aqaba 4
9/25
In this case the management will not be able to achieve the organization objective so
the workers need follow up and control continuously.
Theory Y workers could be stated as follows:-
Individuals like work. Individuals have willing to work, so you will find them trying to comply with
self-direction and self-control.
Individuals are looking forward to accept responsibility
Individuals like to make innovation in the workplace.
3. Herzberg two factor theory:
According to Hertzberg, there are two factor theories: kinds of needs, there are somejob factors that result in satisfaction while there are other job factors that keep from
dissatisfaction,
His idea was focuses between:
Hygiene Factors:
Wages & Salary
Company policies & Interpersonal Relation with similar. Job Security & Supervisors Technical
Hygiene factors present dissatisfaction in the organization, according to him, hygiene
factors are very important in order to keep on the human resources.
Motivational Factors:
Job itself
Estimation
Achievement
Responsibility
Growth and Advancement.
Above mentioned factors are linked together and will lead to positively feeling to
motivation.
Page9

10/25
With reference to Hertzberg job promotions, higher responsibilities, participation in
central decision making are all will be guide of growth and advancement of employee
in the organization
2.2 Satisfaction:
Definition:
Employee satisfaction used to describe whether employees are happy and they are
going ahead in fulfilling their desires and needs at work.
Many measures were mentioned as clearly that employee satisfaction is a factor inemployee motivation, employee goal achievement, and positive employee morale in
the workplace.
2.3 Importance of employee satisfaction foremployees
Its very importance so we can summarize the importance of employees satisfaction
for employees mainly by increasing the productivity and participation in doing the
organization targets, therefore, the employ will act as the following:-
To think that your firm will be satisfying in the long run.
To do his best efforts to make the work with high quality.

7. SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The company can provide transport facility to the employees. The
management can invest certain amount in transport and fulfill employee needs.
It improves productivity and on time on duty in the concern.
In AFT Limited the management can provide transfer for the employees in
which they can go to some other places and work for a certain period.
In AFT Limited, the organization is not giving more importance to the career
development for the employees, so it basically affects the employees future.
In that case the company should concentrates on career development for the
Employees.
The organization can select the best performance for every year in which it
will make the employee to perform well during the training period and during
the work time.
The organization can give training programmed in systematic programmed for
the employees to improve the productivity level in the concern.
In the company the manager can give feedback for the employees regarding
their performance in which the employees can correct their mistake and they
can perform well during the work time.

conditions, training and job satisfaction. Motivation is the ultimate function of so
