India incorporated the idea of realizing manpower as a resource and not a mere commodity. Our
hopes and desires are mainly placed on the development and utilization of the human resources
which is quantitatively huge. Human resource management ensures the optimum utilization of
human esources. For the purpose of achieving optimum utilization of human resources, what is
required is proper management and motivation of the work force engaged in our organizations
In the modern organizational set up, we find frequent changes in the human resources and
environment factors. There is constant change in the human resources due to the appointment of
new employees with new ideas and expectations in various posts. Environmental factors that are
subject to change normally include organizational structure, operating systems, procedures, rules,
Human resources from the viewpoint of the individual organization represent the total of the
inherent abilities, acquired knowledge and skills as exemplified in the talents and aptitudes of
employees the expression human resources include all the component resources of employees at
various management levels viz., top, middle and lower management levels
The main aim of human resource management is to achieve the organizational and individual
goals by ensuring the most effective use of employees in the organizational. It also aims at
providing for and coordinating the human resources. Solving the employment problems to the

Motivation is the art of creating conditions that allows everyone to get their work done at their
own peak level of efficiency (gellerman, 1992). It helps people to focus their minds and energies
on doing their work as effectively as possible. It is the inner force that drives individuals to
accomplish personal and organizational foals (Lindner, 1998). Through motivation, skilled
leaders can bring out hidden or untapped capabilities of their people. At the same time, this will

give each person involved a greater degree of job satisfaction and make them more successful as
individuals.
Findings –Employees have the need to be motivated for survival. Motivated employees are needed
in the rapidly changing workplaces. Motivated employees are more productive, and they help
within the context of the roles they perform. Employees, on the other hand, must be willing to
let managers know what motivates them, and managers must be willing to design reward systems
Identifying the factors that affect the quality and quantity of employees job performance is an
important issue in the study of work and the workplace. Managers routinely make assumptions
about the characteristics that enhance or detract form performance. It is generally assumed, for
performance as more committed employees should be more motivated to work hard on their
characteristics such as whether employees are able to exercise autonomy and discretion in their
work. The extent to which their tasks are clearly defined and whether they are rewarded for hard
work .

Title: Effectiveness of Inventory Control in small and medium enterprises: A study of machine
tool enterprises in Bangalore.
Citation: N. Rajeev, (2008) "Inventory management in small and medium enterprises: A study
of machine tool enterprises in Bangalore", Management Research News, Vol. 31.
Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to provide guidelines for entrepreneurs for implementing
effective inventory management (IM) practices and presents the results of a survey of machine
tool enterprises in Bangalore, India.
Design/methodology/approach – A descriptive analysis is used to present aspects of the
findings, which reflect the current state of IM in machine tool enterprises. In addition,
percentages, bar diagrams and correlation analysis provide a more accurate assessment of this
industry sector.
Findings – The study identified several major problems in the context of IM in machine
tool enterprises including the use of rule-of-thumb for IM, a low importance given to forecasting,
random ordering of materials, low levels of training and development, and low computer use as
well as a low importance given to purchasing and variable lead-time. The study confirmed the
need for managers in the machine tool sector to alter drastically their approach to IM.
Research limitations/implications – This study of 40 SMEs in Bangalore should be
extended using a larger sample representative of Indian SMEs in order to arrive at findings that
are more generalizable across the machine tool sector in India.
Practical implications – The managers of SMEs should consider seriously IM as a
strategic concept simply because effective IM positively influences productivity. There is
16
profound scope for improving the operations and performance of SMEs through the application
of quality practices in IM.
Originality/value – Considering the lack of studies about IM in the context of Indian
small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), this paper helps fill a gap in the literature. A
review of the policy framework concerned with SMEs suggests that policymakers do not
consider critically the role of IM and related issues. It is significant to note that there is no
exclusive reference to improvement in IM within the policy documents.
Efficiency in effective inventory management will always give a competitive edge to the
business, regardless of its nature. With effective control and management over inventory stock,
as well as accurate visibility and fast efficient fulfillments, comparative pricing can be given on a
customer-to-customer basis. In addition to cutting down on operating costs, it will also bring
satisfied customers back for more businesses in the near future. However, modern day
management of the inventory is usually not as simple as the contemporary practices of just
keeping abreast with inventory standards.
Most of this businesses, especially those in the process and manufacturing industries, will
require varied sets of both simplified as well as complex integrated inventory management
controls. Such regulations are streamlined for effectiveness in compliance and distribution as
well as making provision for further improvement on software and other protocols. Primarily, the
first and most important step to commence in inventory management is to acquire accurate data
in terms of facts and figures. Next, a set of rules and regulations is set up to protect and guard the
information efficiently. Such information may become a crux factor in the improvement of
inbound operations, strategies and productivity. In addition to the physical monitoring of
materials being received and issued into and out of the stock rooms and drawing up
reconciliations of the inventory balances, other tasks involved in inventory management may
include tracking and reporting of restock level techniques, analysis on the actual and projected
inventory status.
17
Although having proper management of the inventory may create a great difference in
attaining and retaining a competitive edge in the sales markets for certain products of any
businesses, it remains an integral and essential effort of a company to reduce its inventory
management costs. As a result, several computer software companies have since developed a
Aside from certain specialty features, the requisite module should be able to integrate into
the pre-existing software system of the business. In addition to providing a quick and easy access
to inventory and ordering information, the new inventory management software should also give
accurate results.
Although the inventory management system is a beneficial tool, there are some basic and
extremely significant points to ensure an effective and proper flow. These will include good
practices like making accurate entries on every stock receipts into the computer, setting up a
restock level strategy on all items in the stock houses and drawing up specific guidelines on the
control of excess inventory as well as on-going dead stock. Such effective inventory
management habits will give any kind of businesses a superior competitive advantage over their
competitors, especially with an easy-to-use stock analysis tool that delivers quick and accurate

The framework of motivation indicates that motivation is a simple process. But in reality, the
task is more dauntingOne reason why motivation is a difficult task is that the workforce is
changing. Employees join organizations with different needs and expectations. Their values,
beliefs, background, lifestyles, perceptions and attitudes are different. Not many organizations
have understood these and not many HR experts are clear about the ways of motivating such
diverse workforce.
Motivating employees is also more challenging at a time when firms have dramatically

needs or accomplishment may find that these extra hours conflict directly with needs for
affiliation and their desire to be with their families. However, there is no shortage of models,
strategies, and tactics for motivating employees. As a result, firms constantly experiment with

Human behavior is goal-directed. Motivation cause goal-directed behaviour. It is through
motivation that needs can be handled and tackled purposely. This can be understood by
understanding the hierarchy of needs by manager. The needs of individual serves as a driving
force in human behaviour. Therefore, a manager must understand the “hierarchy of needs”.
1. Physiological needs- These are the basic needs of an individual which includes food,
clothing, shelter, air, water, etc. These needs relate to the survival and maintenance of human
life.
2. Safety needs- These needs are also important for human beings. Everybody wants job
3. Social needs- These needs emerge from society. Man is a social animal. These needs become
4. Esteem needs- These needs relate to desire for self-respect, recognition and respect from
others.
5. Self-actualization needs- These are the needs of the highest order and these needs are found
in those person whose previous four needs are satisfied. This will include need for social
service, meditation.

Although instinct theory failed to explain human motives the underlying assumption that genes
predispose species- typical behavior is as strong as ever, and evolution might influence our
gender difference; our helping behavior; and our attraction to certain people.
When the instinct theory of motivation collapsed, it was replaced by drive-reduction theory –
the idea that a physiological ‘need’ creates an aroused psychological state that ‘drives’ the
organism to reduce the need. With few exceptions, when a physiological need increases, so does
a psychological drive.
The physiological aim of drive reduction is ‘homeostasis’- the maintenance of a steady internal
state. An example, of homeostasis (‘literally – staying the same ) is the body’s temperature –
regulation system, which works like a thermostat. Both systems operates through feedback
loops; sensors feed room temperature to control device. If room temperature cools the control
device switches on the furnace. Likewise, if body temperature cools, blood vessels constrict to

Rather then reduce a physiological need or minimize tension, some motivated behaviors increase
arousal. Asked “Why he wanted to climb Mount Everest”, George Mallory, enjoy high arousal
are most likely to enjoy intense music, novel goods, and risky behaviors.
Experiments on Sensory restriction in a monotonous chamber reveal our need for stimulation.
Despite having all our biological needs satisfied, we feel driven to experience stimulation.
Without it, we feel bored and look for a way to increase arousal to some optimum level. With
too much stimulation, we feel stressed and look for a way to decrease arousal.
Incentive theory
Not only are we pushed by our “need” reduce drives achieve optimum arousal; we are also
pulled by ‘incentives’ – positive or negative stimuli that lure or repel us. This is one way our
individual learning histories influence our motives. Depending on our learning, the aroma of
fresh roasted peanuts, the sight of someone we find attractive, and the threat of disapproval can
all motivate our behavior. Our internal needs energize and direct our behavior, but so do these
external incentives. When there is both a need and an inventive, we feel driven. The food –
deprived person who smelts baking bread feels a hunger for it. For each motive, we can therefore
ask “How is it pushed by our inborn physiological needs and pulled by incentives in the
environment?”

Executive summary

behave in certain ways. A motivated employee generally is more quality oriented. Highly

Managers who are successful in motivating employees are often providing an environment in
which appropriate goals are available for needs satisfaction. Retaining and motivating workers
requires special attention and the responsibility falls squarely on the shoulders of HR as well as
managers and supervisors at all level. They have to create a work environment where people
enjoy what they do, feel like they have a purpose and have pride in the mission of the
organization. It requires more time, more skill, and managers who care about people. It takes true
leadership.
By giving employees special tasks, you make them feel more important. When your
employees feel like they are being trusted with added responsibilities, they are motivated to work
Motivation is important for the growth of employees as well as growth of the organization.

need to understand what motivates employees within the context of the roles they perform. Of all
the functions a manager performs, motivating employees is arguably the most complex. This is
due, in part, to the fact that what motivates employees changes constantly. For example, research
suggests that as employees' income increases, money becomes less of a motivator. Also, as
