Motivation in any organization is concerned with actions that what actions should be taken to improve the level of performance of workforce or employees, to sustain the high level of performance there is need of close attention to the best way of motivation. Individual or employees could be motivated through the rewards, leadership, incentives etc. Employees performance and motivation depend on the factors like performance appraisal, employee satisfaction, training and development, job security, compensation, organizational structure etc. Employee’s motivation is highly influenced by employee performance, for getting the desired outcomes, an organization needs to design motivation programs effectively (Dobre, 2013).
Researchers have found out that both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation have effect or impact on human behavior, however, some of the employees are motivated through the intrinsic motivation and some form the extrinsic motivation. Extrinsic motivation is related to the tangible rewards, such as salary, wages etc while intrinsic motivation is related to the psychological or intangible rewards like appreciation on achievement, caring, positive recognition etc.
The quality of the performance is the actual skills of the employees, of the critical influence on the performance; there is need of the attention of employees through motivating them. According to the research in every organization, financial motivation has become a primary concern, manager and other managerial concerning bodies think that through giving money or financial incentives to employees; their efficiency could be increased, however, with the financial benefits or incentives there are need of non-financial incentives so the employees could be satisfied towards their job.

Factors Effecting Employee’s Motivation
In a grocery store, there are various factors of motivation through which employee’s effectiveness and efficiency could be improved, there is also need to value the motivation and its factors, as when workers receive the desirable salary or payment, they get satisfaction, which increases their performance. Incentives are the motivational technique that can motivate the individual towards better or higher performance, researchers have found that satisfaction of employees can be achieved from the rewards; rewards can contribute to influence group and individual performance. Employees need to be motivated by the payment of their performance; managers must consider the importance of special allowance, pensions, benefits etc.
For the higher level of morality and motivation, motivation can be increased through the leadership behavior; motivation is the active process, which could be achieved if an employee has a sense of belongingness towards it organization. Employees can be motivated through creating sense of belongingness in them, because through rewards system when employees know that their organization value them and appreciate their performance, then their performance could be effective and they will trust their organization (MUOGBO, 2013).
To build the win-win between employees and the organization, it is needed to empower employee so they should focus on the work and effectiveness. It is needed to create the sense of responsibility with the sense of belongingness, which can be possible through trust employees; because when employees feel the responsibility on their part, they will motivate to perform the work, and they will effort to give effective and efficient results because organization trusts them. To increase the interpersonal influences, trust plays a significant effect on the motivation of employees.
To maintain and motivate the performance of employees, rewards are the tool management, in a case of a grocery store, flexible working hours can also create motivation in the employees as responsibilities depend on nature of the work. However, organizations need to give advantages of flexible working hours so the employees or staff gets motivated to accomplish the work tasks at the suitable time. Research have indicates that flexible working hours or flexible scheduling can reduce the number of absentees at the workplace and can motivate and accommodate the employees through healthy and positive approach.
