Organizational Behaviour for Employee Satisfaction and Retention

Question: Discuss about theOrganizational Behaviour for Employee Satisfaction and Retention. Answer: Employee motivation one of the most important activities of every business organisation has to undertake in order to achieve employee satisfaction and employee retention. The employee suggestion program is effective and the employees get recognition or financial incentive act as a motivation for them. However, as experts suggest the financial incentives and benefits are not only effective in achieving employee satisfaction or motivating the employees successfully. One of the context based motivation theories that is effective in motivating the employees is the two factors or motivator hygiene theory (Ghazi et al. 2013). According to Herzberg the two factor theory is effective in motivating the employees explicitly as it is linked with the change in motivation and is helpful in the achievement of job satisfaction. According to the traditional view any factor that reduces job dissatisfaction among the employees will result in enhancement of job satisfaction. However according to the two factor theory removal of the causes of dissatisfaction may not explicitly mean achievement of job satisfaction (Ghazi et al. 2013). The leaders and motivators have to incorporate the motivation factor and the hygiene factor in order to achieve employee motivation and retain the employees successfully. The process based theory that is successful in achieving employee satisfaction is the Vrooms expectancy theory. This allows the employees to decide which project to work on at which time (Lazaroiu 2015). Thus, with the increase in the number of choices the satisfaction of the employees should be achieved successfully. It can thus be concluded that near recognition and financial benefits are not sufficient to achieve employee satisfaction or motivate them effectively References Ghazi, S.R., Shahzada, G. and Khan, M.S., 2013.
