• Five types of work motivation principles are given to motivate the employee towards work.

(1) The principle of necessity:

• There are many types of human needs.
• The employee works more enthusiastically if the need is more satisfied.
• Abraham Maslow has given the theory of the hierarchy of necessity.
• In which the work motivation of the employee gradually increases from the basic need of the person to the satisfaction of other needs.

(2) Goal setting principle:

• Man is an intelligent animal so his behavior is not without purpose.
• There is a goal behind every type of behavior, so if the employee is assigned a task according to a set goal, the work motivation increases with constant effort towards achieving the goal.

(3) The principle of reinforcement:

• Providing force for the desired activity is called reinforcement.
• Work motivation is usually increased if constructive strength is received in return for work.
• Skinner and Pavlov have conceptualized this principle.
• Employee activity becomes stronger if the organization gives the desired beneficial reinforcement in return for the work.
• For example, honoring, promoting, rewarding, paying special compensation if an employee works on a holiday, etc.

(4) The principle of equality:

• Everyone wants people who do the same thing to get the same right, a share.
• This is because work motivation is reduced if discriminated against in return for doing the same work.
• E.g. When three employees in the same company have been playing the same role as clerk for five consecutive years, a five per cent pay hike to one employee and a 15 per cent pay hike to another employee will have a negative effect on those who have received less pay increase and reduce their work efficiency. Happens.

(5) Expectation based theory:

• The Bhagavad Gita says that you will not desire karma kar fruit.
• But it is difficult for modern man to implement this.
• Because if every person does an activity or behavior, he is expected to get something as a result.
• Therefore, if this expectation is met, the work motivation of the employee increases as a result.
• E.g. When an employee has to be sent out for a few days for the work of the organization, if he is given extra leave in the form of compensation, the employee is ready to go out for the work of the organization quickly.
