A motivational factor affecting the productivity of public sector servants / Mohammad Izwan Samsuddin

This study was carried out in order to determine which one among the motivational factors that can raise public sector servants' productivity in the organization they serve. After gathering information from the past study and journal, there are four independent variables that can help contribute a better employees' productivity, such as employees' empowerment, type of works, full appreciation of work done by employers and good and comfortable working environment. Nowadays, we cannot assume all employees have the same motivation factors in the workplace. Thus, managers or business owners must know which kind of factors can motivate their workers whether intrinsic (self-satisfaction) or extrinsic (reward giving by others, such as pay and promotion) motivation. By knowing this, organizations can increase their output through the high productivity given by their own staffs. If there is a low motivation level among government employees, it can lead to inefficient and ineffective jobs performance in national administration. Managers will found that they will have several difficulties on achieving certain goals when their subordinates do not put enough commitment and effort towards tasks.
