Discuss about the Workplace motivation and leadership styles.
Globalization has created the workplace more competitive in today’s world. It is essential for the leaders to have the efficient skills, vision, traits and directions to help in the growth of the business. Thus, there should be proper knowledge of understanding the weakness, strength, attitude and behaviour of the employee towards work which is considered as vital for the success of the company. Motivation is another factor that encourages employees to work more with a positive attitude which helps in making good working environment. It is not vital to provide only monetary incentives to the employee but also company needs to focus on the non-monetary motivation as it has the same potential as monetary motivation. The research paper will evaluate the critical evaluation of the literature review along with the theoretical framework and hypothesis development. Research methodology is an important section that helps in making understanding that from where information has been gathered. The discussion will be made on eh contributions and the limitations that would be facilitated in making better understanding of the concept of the research.
Leadership and motivation are two major aspects that have the potential to impact the overall strategy and the growth of the company. It has been found as per Renko et al. (2015, 70), that organization can get influenced due to the inefficient strategy of the motivation and the leadership. There is an example of Wal-mart Company that faced a number of issues due to the ineffective strategy of leadership and motivation. Employee turnover has been increasing day by day due to lack of motivation which has become the major concerns in every industry.
The scope of the research is wide as it contains the major aspects of the success of the organization by covering motivation and leadership. The research will be facilitated to define the entire concepts of the d the importance of leadership style and motivation in the organization. The research will be completed by attaining responses using an online quantitative survey.
The objective of the research is defined below:
According to Top et al. (2016, 1262), there are major two factors that impact the productivity and the performance of the employee and the organization respectively. These two factors are leadership style and the motivation because leadership style can put a significant impact on the performance of the employee. On the other hand motivation can increase the productivity of the employee.
There is various kind of leadership style that can be adopted by the leader in increasing the revenues of the organization. These are democratic leadership style, autocrat leadership style, Laissez-faire leadership and Charismatic Leadership style (Nguyen, et al. 2017, 213). All style has different impacts and importance in the organization. it has been found that there are many leaders all over the world in the 21st century who offered analytical thinking and problem-solving attitude which is important to run the business. Along with that, there is another example of famous leader that is Jeff Bezos who is a founder of Amazon. Com. Along with that Howard Schultz is the CEO of Starbucks who has the ability to run the business in an efficient manner and due to its leadership skill; he has released various branches of Starbucks in all over the world. Leadership has a strong influence on employee’s behaviour against their work. Autocratic leadership style allows the manager to make decisions without taking any suggestions of others. Democratic leadership is a kind of participative leadership which help to increase the workplace motivation in more efficient manner. In the style of Laissez-faire, leadership employees are allowed to make their decisions which helps to develop the workplace motivation. Charismatic Leadership style motivates their employees to do work or improve it in a certain way. These leadership styles have the significant influence on the workplace motivation that impact the employee performance (Renko, Maija, Tarabishy, Carsrud, and Brännback, 2015). So, it is apparent that the adverse impact on one factor may influence another two factors as well.
There is another factor of motivation that facilitates in developing the efficiency of the business in more effective manner. It has been discussed in a previous assignment that every individual is considered in relations of daily needs of shelter, water and foods for their survival. The nature of a person is different from person to person which caused them to be more submissive and more passive (Ganta 2014, 224). There are some motivation tools that are used in motivating the employees. There are various kinds of motivation tools such as a Psycho-social motivational tool, economic motivation tools and managerial and organizational tools.
The psycho-social tools entail various independent employment compliance, opportunities, and competition with the career, promotion, transfer of competence, special life respect, participation in the social activity and development opportunities. It is essential for the organization to have the effective working environment as under-pressure work may lead to loss of works, counter pressure and escapes from work and these kinds of activities lead to reduction in performance and productivity level. Along with that the value change and stat are also valuable motivational tools for employee. It would motivate them to work to do their position and status in the company (Zabel 2016).
It has been defined by Massenberg and Kauffeld (2015, 168), that the major reasons for the employee to work are the reason of economy. There is a number of aspects that influence the employee’s performance such as salary of employees, incentives of employees and right to involve in profits of the company.
It is another tool of the motivation that includes the opportunities, empowerment, delegation, goal setting, training opportunities, business expansion, flexible working hours and many more that cover the organizational and managerial motivational tools (Conrad and Isaacson 2015, 97).
The employee is significantly impacted by employee motivation and the leadership styles. It is essential for the working environment to have the satisfied employee from their job that is why it is required for the leaders of the company to have the good bonding between the employee motivation factors and the leaders’ leadership styles (Perryer et al. 2016, 333).
Figure 1: Framework adopted for this research
According to this framework, it has been cleared that employee motivation, leadership style, and the employee performances are interlinked. Impact on one aspect can influence the entire structure of the organization. It has been found that the leadership style of the leader can impact the performance of the employee significantly (Sekaran and Bougie 2016, 58).
The primary objective of the research is to validate if there is a bonding between the three major aspects such as leadership, motivation and the employee performance.
|
H1- Is leadership style a positive or negative factor to increase the productivity of the employee? H2- Is employee motivation a positive or negative factor to increase the productivity of the employee? H3- Is employee performance a positive or negative factor to increase the productivity of the employee? |
Sampling Frame
The nature of the research is exploratory research as it helps to connect with an idea to understand the various concepts and ideas. The aim of this research is to conduct the research in the regards to research problem when there are no earlier studies to define upon to predict results. The main focus of this research is to attain the insights and familiarity for later investigation at the time of research problems in the stage of preliminary of investigation (Hafford and Pindus 2018, 237).
Instrumentation
A quantitative survey is being conducted as the instrumentation in which it will be provided as an online instrument for gathering the data. It will make use of Likert scale to measure the propensity of the respondents to adopt effective work environment in which the employee get motivated towards work with good potential. The nominal demographics of the organizations will be offered the answers (Open Science Collaboration 2015, 6251).

The survey will be evaluated in an efficient manner and in case of any issues such as incomplete survey or with errors will be excluded from the analysis. The nominal data will be coded into sections by utilizing statistical tools like IBM SPSS.
Along with that, the data will be analyzed by using different techniques to decide whether there is firm co-relation or a reason and impact the relationship between the leadership styles and the employee motivation. It will involve the T-test and regression between the factors that have discussed above (Hair et al. 2015).
Ethical considerations
The details regarding ethical consideration respondents will be kept anonymous and entire information which gathered from the survey will be kept confidential with a respondent number to make sure that respondent contact description is not stored with research data. The entire data will be spoiled after taking information about them for the research so that others cannot take advantages of it in their research or any other purpose.
The main aim of the research is to design to be used by managers of the organization at the time of determining whether to utilize in the organization for improving the productivity of the employees or not. The main contribution of the research will be increased the understanding of the concept of developing the effective leadership style and the motivation. It will offer the academic community with advancement into the motivators for the adoption of a good attitude in the working environment; and along with this its insights into the research area of sustainability of the organization (Castleman and Baum 2015, 34). The research will facilitate to provide the in-depth information about the motivation tools to the organization so that they can understand the strategy of the different motivation tools in a different manner.
Along with the contributions in the research, there are some potential limitations of this research which are the validity of the size of the sample, and the lack of diversity of the industry of respondent’s organization. A money constraint is another limitation for the researcher by which the researcher is unable to access the data. It is vital for gathering the information regarding the topic to attend a number of seminars and conduct survey with taking help of well efficient software. Due to money constraints this activities could not be completed by the researcher in well manner. This activity will require more accosts and due to lack of money, research would be unable to collect the data in more significant manner. Lack of time is another limitation will impact the entire research adversely; however, it would not be possible for the researcher to analyze the huge data in one go due to less time (Strom and Kelly 2015, 72). That is why the researcher will adopt the random sampling technique which facilitates to give chance to the entire population to get selected. Along with that, there is an online survey conducted with the help of software that facilitates in developing the proper survey by which the researcher can collect the reliable information about the research topic.
