Motivation defined
The management at Starbucks know very well that the level of motivation is different for every individual, as Stephen P Robbins states that some people succeed in reading a particular subject while others struggle to complete even a few pages of the book, but are able to complete the book of their own interest in a day. Here, the situation is different; if we analyze the concept of motivation ensuring we’re keeping both situation and their interest in mind, the motivational levels are going to be different for both individuals (Robbins, 2013).
Significance of motivation
It encourages human resources to work more energetically and improve the level of performance. Employee performance impacts directly to the brand performance in the market and affects its corporate image. Motivate employees perform better, improves their efficiency, thereby increasing profits and reducing cost. Stable employees are loyal and go beyond the expectations of the employers. This will generate word of mouth marketing and attract more qualified talent in the organization (Romero, and Kleiner, 2000). Motivation brings employer and employee in a close relationship with each other. When employees' expectations are met through appraisal, rewards and opportunities, they develop more interest with the company. Thus, motivation is essential for the success and stability of the organization. It helps achieve goals and objectives of both the parties involved in it. It is there fore a continuous process because needs and demand of both parties are never ending. Moreover, motivation improves the satisfaction scores for employer and employees (Ulloa, and Adams, 2004).
