Abstract:
Motivation is another dimension of human behaviour that leads to
organizational development. The main aim of this study is to find out
the impact of occupational factors on the motivation of employees.
There are four specific objectives of this study namely, to determine
whether compensation has an impact on employee motivation, to
determine whether the provision of training has an impact on employee
motivation, to determine whether working condition has an impact on
employee motivation and to determine whether recognition has an
impact on employee motivation. The study was conducted as a
quantitative study with a sample of 100 software engineers in an
Information Technology Company Sri Lanka. There is a strong and
positive relationship between the Compensation, Training, Working
Condition and Recognition with staff motivation depicting that when
the organization increases the compensation, training opportunities,
working facilities and rewards the staff motivation has also increased
significantly.
