Abstract
The project work entitled “Factors affecting Motivation and Job satisfaction” intends to find out
different factors that affect the motivational level in the employees and how motivation is related to
their performance.
This paper would analyse the relationship between working condition, Compensation, Job Security,
Performance Measurement, Training and Development and Recognition with motivation of an
employee. Several theories predict that the design and implementation of a performance
measurement and compensation system affect the motivation of employees. Further it is found that
properly trained employees adds positively to output and are recognised for the same. An eminent
problem of the present day society, especially in the tough business environments is to provide jobs
to eligible workers. As and when this problem is overcome, the responsibility shifts towards the
management of a business organization and its obligation to keep the employees motivated in order
to perform effectively over a longer period of time
Keywords: Motivation; job satisfaction; compensation; job security; performance measurement
