"Motivation" is a Latin word, meaning "to move". Human motives are internalized
goals within individuals. A motive is an inner state that energies, activates or moves and
directs or channels behavior towards goals. All human behavior is designed to achieve certain
goals and objectives. Such goals directed behavior revolves around the desire for need
satisfaction. The needs set up drives to accomplish goals. Motivation consists of the three
interaction and interdependent elements of needs, drives and goals.
The purpose of motivation is to create conditions in which people are willing to work
with zeal, initiative, interest and enthusiasm, with a high personal and group more
satisfaction, with sense of responsibility, and discipline and with pride and confidence in a
most cohesive manner so that the goals of an organization are achieved effectively.
The worker should at least have the means and facilities to keep himself in a state of
health and efficiency. This is primarily a question of adequate nutrition and suitable housing
conditions. The working condition should be such as to safeguard his health and protect him
against occupational hazards.
The work place should provide reasonable amenities for his essential needs. The
worker should also be equipped with the necessary technical training and a certain level of
general education.
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY:
SCOPE OF STUDY
The present study confined to the Employee Motivation in of DATA POINT INFO
SOLUTIONS. The study also covered the procedure of Employee Motivation measures
implemented in the company and the opinions of employees regarding the Employee
Motivation measures implemented by the company.
The need for labour welfare arises from the very nature of the industrial system,
which is characterized by two basic factors, one, the conditions under which work is carried
on are not congenial for health and second, when a labour join an industry, has to work in an
entirely strange atmosphere, which creates problems of adjustment. One author calls these
two factors “The long arm of the job”, and “the social invasion of the factory”.
PERIOD OF STUDY:
Duration period of work completed from 45 days
DATA COLLECTION
The researcher was attempting to submit briefly the methodology adopted by him to
make his subject of the study more effective and useful in both academic and practical fields.
In dealing with any real life problem it is often found that data that are appropriate. There are
several ways of collecting the appropriate data which differ considerably in context of money
cost, time and other resources at the disposal of the researcher. Since, the subject of the study
needs methodology of empirical study nature of project the study more effect. The researcher
has adopted both methods namely primary and secondary for collecting the data. Information
regarding motivation has been collected through publications like human capital and
available old literature forms the sources of secondary data for the study.
Primary data:
The researcher has adopted questionnaires method for collecting more reliable and
accurate data for the purpose of the study. Personal interviews have been conducted to the
employees to discuss the factors that are behind their motivation and to justify the study. The
research discussed on many issues relating to the motivation.
Secondary data.
Secondary data’s are in the form of finished products as they have already been
treated statistically in some form or other. The secondary data mainly consists of data and
information collected from records, company websites and also discussion with the
management of the organization. Secondary data was also collected from journals, magazines
and books.
SAMPLE DESIGN:
The researcher must decide the way of selecting a sample or what is popularly known
as the sample design. The researcher has made sample design on satisfied sampling basis to
interview the employees Data point info solutions has been selected for sampling.
Based on those responses ranking was given on logical basis to the extent possible.
The analysis of motivation is carried out based on only some identified factors.
The Indian Information Technology industry accounts for a 5.19% of the country's
GDP and export earnings as of 2015, while providing employment to a significant number of
its tertiary sector workforce. More than 2.5 million people are employed in the sector either
directly or indirectly, making it one of the biggest job creators in India and a mainstay of the
national economy. In 2013-11, annual revenues from IT-BPO sector is estimated to have
grown over US$76 billion compared to China with $35.76 billion and Philippines with $8.85
billion. India's outsourcing industry is expected to increase to US$225 billion by 2020. The
most prominent IT hub is IT capital Bangalore. The other emerging destinations are Chennai,
Hyderabad, Kolkata, Pune, Mumbai, NCR and Kochi. Technically proficient immigrants
from India sought jobs in the western world from the 1950s onwards as India's education
system produced more engineers than its industry could absorb. India's growing stature in the
information age enabled it to form close ties with both the United States of America and the
European Union. However, the recent global financial crises has deeply impacted the Indian
IT companies as well as global companies. As a result hiring has dropped sharply and
employees are looking at different sectors like the financial service, telecommunications, and
manufacturing industries, which have been growing phenomenally over the last few years.
India's IT Services industry was born in Mumbai in 1967 with the establishment of
Tata Group in partnership with Burroughs. The first software export zone SEEPZ was set up
here way back in 1973, the old avatar of the modern day IT park. More than 80 percent of the
country's software exports happened out of SEEPZ, Mumbai in 80s.
Each year India produces roughly 500,000 engineers in the country, out of them only
25% to 30% possessed both technical competency and English language skills, although 12%
of India's population can speak in English. India developed a number of outsourcing
companies specializing in customer support via Internet or telephone connections. By 2015,
India also has a total of 37,160,000 telephone lines in use, a total of 506,040,000 mobile
phone connections, a total of 81,000,000 Internet users—comprising 7.0% of the country's
population, and 7,570,000 people in the country have access to broadband Internet— making
it the 12th largest country in the world in terms of broadband Internet users. Total fixed-line
and wireless subscribers reached 543.20 million as of November, 2015.
Formative years (till 1991)
The Indian Government acquired the EVS EM computers from the Soviet Union,
which were used in large companies and research laboratories. In 1968 Tata Consultancy
Services—established in SEEPZ, by the Tata Group—were the country's largest software
producers during the 1960s. As an outcome of the various policies of Jawaharlal Nehru
(office: 15 August 1947 – 27 May 1964) the economically beleaguered country was able to
build a large scientific workforce, third in numbers only to that of the United States of
America and the Soviet Union. On 18 August 1951 the minister of education Maulana Abul
Kalam Azad, inaugurated the Indian Institute of Technology at Kharagpur in West Bengal.
Possibly modeled after the Massachusetts Institute of Technology these institutions were
conceived by a 22 member committee of scholars and entrepreneurs under the chairmanship
of N. R. Sarkar.
Relaxed immigration laws in the United States of America (1965) attracted a number
of skilled Indian professionals aiming for research. By 1960 as many as 10,000 Indians were
estimated to have settled in the US. Kapur (2006)By the 1980s a number of engineers from
India were seeking employment in other countries. In response, the Indian companies
realigned wages to retain their experienced staff. In the Encyclopedia of India, Kamdar
(2006) reports on the role of Indian immigrants (1980 - early 1990s) in promoting
technology-driven growth:
The United States’ technological lead was driven in no small part by the brain power
of brilliant immigrants, many of whom came from India. The inestimable contributions of
thousands of highly trained Indian migrants in every area of American scientific and
technological achievement culminated with the information technology revolution most
associated with California’s Silicon Valley in the 1980s and 1990s.
The National Informatics Centre was established in March 1975. The inception of The
Computer Maintenance Company (CMC) followed in October 1976. Between 1977-1980 the
country's Information Technology companies Tata Infotech, Patni Computer Systems and
Wipro had become visible. The 'microchip revolution' of the 1980s had convinced both Indira
Gandhi and her successor Rajiv Gandhi that electronics and telecommunications were vital to
India's growth and development. MTNL underwent technological improvements. Between
1986-1987, the Indian government embarked upon the creation of three wide-area computer
networking schemes: INDONET (intended to serve the IBM mainframes in India), NICNET
(the network for India's National Informatics Centre), and the academic research oriented
Education and Research Network (ERNET).
1991–2001
Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited (VSNL) introduced Gateway Electronic Mail Service
in 1991, the 64 kbit/s leased line service in 1992, and commercial Internet access on a visible
scale in 1992. Election results were displayed via National Informatics Centre's NICNET.
The Indian economy underwent economic reforms in 1991, leading to a new era of
globalization and international economic integration. Economic growth of over 6% annually
was seen between 1993-2002. The economic reforms were driven in part by significant the
internet usage in the country.
The new administration under Atal Bihari Vajpayee—which placed the development
of Information Technology among its top five priorities— formed the Indian National Task
Force on Information Technology and Software Development.
Wolcott & Goodman (2003) report on the role of the Indian National Task Force on
Information Technology and Software Development:
The New Telecommunications Policy, 1999 (NTP 1999) helped further liberalize
India's telecommunications sector. The Information Technology Act 2000 created legal
procedures for electronic transactions and e-commerce.
Throughout the 1990s, another wave of Indian professionals entered the United
States. The number of Indian Americans reached 1.7 million by 2000. This immigration
consisted largely of highly educated technologically proficient workers. Within the United
States, Indians fared well in science, engineering, and management. Graduates from the
Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) became known for their technical skills. Thus GOI
planned to establish new Institutes especially for Information Technology to enhance this
field. In 1998 India got the first IT institute name Indian Institute of Information
Technology at Gwalior. The success of Information Technology in India not only had
economic repercussions but also had far-reaching political consequences. India's reputation
both as a source and a destination for skilled workforce helped it improve its relations with a
number of world economies. The relationship between economy and technology—valued in
the western world—facilitated the growth of an entrepreneurial class of immigrant Indians,
which further helped aid in promoting technology-driven growth.
2001–present
India is now one of the biggest IT capitals in the modern world. The economic effect
of the technologically inclined services sector in India—accounting for 40% of the country's
GDP and 30% of export earnings as of 2006, while employing only 25% of its workforce—is
summarized by Sharma (2006):
The share of IT (mainly software) in total exports increased from 1 percent in 1990 to
18 percent in 2001. IT-enabled services such as back office operations, remote maintenance,
accounting, public call centers, medical transcription, insurance claims, and other bulk
processing are rapidly expanding. Indian companies such as HCL, TCS, Wipro, and Infosys
may yet become household names around the world. Today, Bangalore is known as the
Silicon Valley of India and contributes 33% of Indian IT Exports. India's second and third
largest software companies are head-quartered in Bangalore, as are many of the global SEI-
CMM Level 5 Companies.

VLSI
Over the past several years, Silicon CMOS technology has become the dominant fabrication
process for relatively high performance and cost effective VLSI circuits. The revolutionary
nature of this development is understood by the rapid growth in which the number of
transistors integrated in circuits on a single chip .
The MOS technology is considered as one of the very important and promising technologies
in the VLSI design process. The circuit designs are realized based on pMOS, nMOS, CMOS
and BiCMOS devices. a hardware description language (HDL) is a specialized computer
language used to program the structure, design and operation of electronic circuits, and most
commonly, digital logic circuits.
There are now two industry standard hardware description languages, VHDL and Verilog.
The complexity of ASIC and FPGA designs has meant an increase in the number of specialist
design consultants with specific tools and with their own libraries of macro and mega cells
written in either VHDL or Verilog. As a result, it is important that designers know both
VHDL and Verilog and that EDA tools vendors provide tools that provide an environment
allowing both languages to be used in unison. For example, a designer might have a model of
a PCI bus interface written in VHDL, but wants to use it in a design with macros written in
Verilog.

Rensis Likerthas called motivation as the core of management. Motivation is the core
of management. Motivation is an effective instrument in the hands of the management in
inspiring the work force .It is the major task of every manager to motivate his subordinate or
to create the will to work among the subordinates .It should also be remembered that the
worker may be immensely capable of doing some work, nothing can be achieved if he is not
willing to work .creation of a will to work is motivation in simple but true sense of term.
Motivation is an important function which very manager performs for actuating the
people to work for accomplishment of objectives of the organization .Issuance of well
conceived instructions and orders does not mean that they will be followed .A manager has to
make appropriate use of motivation to enthuse the employees to follow them. Effective
motivation succeeds not only in having an order accepted but also in gaining a determination
to see that it is executed efficiently and effectively.
In order to motivate workers to work for the organizational goals, the managers must
determine the motives or needs of the workers and provide an environment in which
appropriate incentives are available for their satisfaction .If the management is successful in
doing so; it will also be successful in increasing the willingness of the workers to work. This
will increase efficiency and effectiveness of the organization .There will be better utilization
of resources and workers abilities and capacities.
The word motivation has been derived from motive which means any idea, need or
emotion that prompts a man in to action. Whatever may be the behavior of man, there is some
stimulus behind it .Stimulus is dependent upon the motive of the person concerned. Motive
can be known by studying his needs and desires.
There is no universal theory that can explain the factors influencing motives which
control mans behavior at any particular point of time. In general, the different motives
operate at different times among different people and influence their behaviors. The process
of motivation studies the motives of individuals which cause different type of behavior.
Definition of Motivation.
Significance of Motivation
Motivation involves getting the members of the group to pull weight effectively, to give their
loyalty to the group, to carry out properly the purpose of the organization. The following
results may be expected if the employees are properly motivated.
1. The workforce will be better satisfied if the management provides them with
opportunities to fulfill their physiological and psychological needs. The workers will
cooperate voluntarily with the management and will contribute their maximum towards
the goals of the enterprise.
2. Workers will tend to be as efficient as possible by improving upon their skills and
knowledge so that they are able to contribute to the progress of the organization. This will
also result in increased productivity.
3. The rates of labor’s turnover and absenteeism among the workers will be low.
4. There will be good human relations in the organization as friction among the workers
themselves and between the workers and the management will decrease.
5. The number of complaints and grievances will come down. Accident will also be low.
6. There will be increase in the quantity and quality of products. Wastage and scrap will be
less. Better quality of products will also increase the public image of the business.
Motivation Process.
1. Identification of need
2. Tension
3. Course of action
4. Result –Positive/Negative
5. Feed back
Theories of Motivation.
Understanding what motivated employees and how they were motivated was the focus of
many researchers following the publication of the Hawthorne study results (Terpstra, 1979).
Six major approaches that have led to our understanding of motivation are Mcclelland’s
Achievement Need Theory, Behavior Modification theory; Abraham H Mallows need
hierarchy or Deficient theory of motivation. J.S. Adam’s Equity Theory, Vrooms Expectation
Theory, Two factor Theory.
This need is the strongest and lasting motivating factor. Particularly in case of persons who
satisfy the other needs. They are constantly pre occupied with a desire for improvement and
lack for situation in which successful outcomes are directly correlated with their efforts. They
set more difficult but achievable goals for themselves because success with easily achievable
goals hardly provides a sense of achievement.
It is the desire to control the behavior of the other people and to manipulate the surroundings.
Power motivations positive applications results in domestic leadership style, while it negative
application tends autocratic style.
It is the related to social needs and creates friendship. This results in formation of informal
groups or social circle.
According to this theory people behavior is the outcome of favorable and unfavorable past
circumstances. This theory is based on learning theory. Skinner conducted his researches
among rats and school children. He found that stimulus for desirable behavior could be
strengthened by rewarding it at the earliest. In the industrial situation, this relevance of this
theory may be found in the installation of financial and non financial incentives.
More immediate is the reward and stimulation or it motivates it. Withdrawal of reward incase
of low standard work may also produce the desired result. However, researches show that it is
generally more effective to reward desired behavior than to punish undesired behavior.
.Higher needs cannot be satisfied unless lower needs are fulfilled. A satisfied need is not a
motivator. This resembles the standard economic theory of diminishing returns. The
hierarchy of needs at work in the individual is today a routine tool of personnel trade and
when these needs are active, they act as powerful conditioners of behavior- as Motivators.
Hierarchy of needs; the main needs of men are five. They are physiological needs, safety
needs, social needs, ego needs and self actualization needs, as shown in order of their
importance.
Self-
Actualization
Ego Needs
Social Needs
Safety Needs
Physiological Needs
Fig (2.1)
The above five basic needs are regarded as striving needs which make a person do things.
The first model indicates the ranking of different needs. The second is more helpful in
indicating how the satisfaction of the higher needs is based on the satisfaction of lower needs.
It also shows how the number of person who has experienced the fulfillment of the higher
needs gradually tapers off.
Physiological or Body Needs: - The individual move up the ladder responding first to the
physiological needs for nourishment, clothing and shelter. These physical needs must be
equated with pay rate, pay practices and to an extent with physical condition of the job.
Safety: - The next in order of needs is safety needs, the need to be free from danger, either
from other people or from environment. The individual want to assured, once his bodily
needs are satisfied, that they are secure and will continue to be satisfied for foreseeable
feature. The safety needs may take the form of job security, security against disease,
misfortune, old age etc as also against industrial injury. Such needs are generally met by
safety laws, measure of social security, protective labor laws and collective agreements.
Social needs: - Going up the scale of needs the individual feels the desire to work in a
cohesive group and develop a sense of belonging and identification with a group. He feels the
need to love and be loved and the need to belong and be identified with a group. In a large
organization it is not easy to build up social relations. However close relationship can be built
up with at least some fellow workers. Every employee wants too feel that he is wanted or
accepted and that he is not an alien facing a hostile group.
Ego or Esteem Needs: - These needs are reflected in our desire for status and recognition,
respect and prestige in the work group or work place such as is conferred by the recognition
of ones merit by promotion, by participation in management and by fulfillment of workers
urge for self expression. Some of the needs relate to ones esteem
e.g.; need for achievement, self confidence, knowledge, competence etc. On the job, this
means praise for a job but more important it means a feeling by employee that at all times he
has the respect of his supervisor as a person and as a contributor to the organizational goals.
Self realization or Actualization needs: - This upper level need is one which when satisfied
provide insights to support future research regarding strategic guidance for organization that
are both providing and using reward/recognition programs makes the employee give up the
dependence on others or on the environment. He becomes growth oriented, self oriented,
directed, detached and creative. This need reflects a state defined in terms of the extent to
which an individual attains his personnel goal. This is the need which totally lies within
oneself and there is no demand from any external situation or person.
Vroom’s theory is based on the belief that employee effort will lead to performance and
performance will lead to rewards (Vroom, 1964). Reward may be either positive or negative.
The more positive the reward the more likely the employee will be highly motivated.
Conversely, the more negative the reward the less likely the employee will be motivated.
Douglas McGregor introduced the theory with the help of two views; X assumptions are
conservative in style Assumptions are modern in style.
X Theory
Y Theory
People will exercise self direction and control towards achieving objectives they are
committed to
Types of Motivation.
Intrinsic motivation occurs when people are internally motivated to do something because it
either brings them pleasure, they think it is important, or they feel that what they are learning
is morally significant.
Extrinsic motivation comes into play when a student is compelled to do something or act a
certain way because of factors external to him or her (like money or good grades)
Incentives
An incentive is something which stimulates a person towards some goal. It activates human
needs and creates the desire to work. Thus, an incentive is a means of motivation. In
organizations, increase in incentive leads to better performance and vice versa.
- Insurance - Praise
- Suggestion system.
There is an old saying you can take a horse to the water but you cannot force it to drink; it
will drink only if it's thirsty - so with people. They will do what they want to do or otherwise
motivated to do. Whether it is to excel on the workshop floor or in the 'ivory tower' they must
be motivated or driven to it, either by themselves or through external stimulus. Are they born
with the self-motivation or drive? Yes and no. If no, they can be motivated, for motivation is
a skill which can and must be learnt. This is essential for any business to survive and succeed.
Restructuring jobs
Essentially, there is a gap between an individual’s actual state and some desired state and the
manager tries to reduce this gap. Motivation is, in effect, a means to reduce and manipulate
this gap.
