CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Motivation is a human psychological characteristic that contributes to a personsdegree of commitment. It includes the factors that cause, channel, and sustain human
behavior in a particular committed direction. Motivating is the management process of
influencing peoples behavior based on this knowledge of what makes people tick.
Basic Assumptions about motivation and motivating are
Motivation is commonly assumed to be a good thing.
Motivation is one of several factors that go in to a persons performance.
7/30/2019 Project on Motivation Techniques
8/67
Motivation is in short supply and in need of periodic replenishment.
Motivation is a tool with which managers can arrange job relationships in
organizations.
Motivation has been a longstanding interest of managers and management
researchers. From the turn-of-the-century days of Frederick Taylor forward to today,
managers and researchers have linked motivation- most often, employees motivation-
to the achievement of organizational goals.
The current challenges to managers motivating practices are the corporate
world has become an arena in which a new generation gap is emerging between the
so-called baby boomer attitude and the so-called baby buster attitude. A key
implication of this phenomenon is the challenge that it poses for motivation theories and
the very idea that motivation is something that managers must do the employees.
The word motivation has been derived from motive which means any idea, needor 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.
The process ofmotivation studies the motives of individuals which
cause different type of behavior.
THE MYTHS OF EMPLOYEE MOTIVATION
MYTH ONE - Some employees are motivated, some are not.
It is based on the notion that motivation is largely an innate characteristic
possessed by certain employees and not by others. Proponents suggest that the
supervisors primary responsibility is motivating the unmotivated by means of
structure and discipline. When employees understand that the supervisor (the company)
7/30/2019 Project on Motivation Techniques
9/67
is sincerely interested in their individual needs, they begin to act motivated, i.e., and
they become business partners, not adversaries.
MYTH TWO - Everyone works for money.
The money-employee motivation issue is quite complex because of individual
perception. Some employees believe that money buys higher order needs. Some
perceive that money is a tangible benchmark to assess ones relative worth in society.
For others, money and its many uses are easier to understand (and achieve) than higher
level needs such as self-esteem and self-actualization.
MYTH THREE - Employees need to be pushed to perform.
Douglas McGregor labeled the push to perform management style as Theory
X. McGregor suggested that Theory X orientation causes a manager to use high control
and limited delegation to make sure that lazy and self-serving employees do not take
advantage of management and the company.
MYTH FOUR - Participation in a training program will increase an employees
productivity.
A widespread contemporary motivation myth is the belief that a generic
(standardized) training program, in and if itself, can guarantee improved performance
and/or correct performance. This generic quick fix myth is enduring because of its
apparent simplicity, speed of implementation and low cost per head. For maximized
effectiveness and efficiency, employee training must respond to the needs of the
employee as well as the company.
MYTH FIVE - The absence of expressed employee concerns indicates that morale
is good.
Those who support the assume the best myth believe that if and when an
employee has a problem, he/she will share it with the immediate supervisor. The appeal
of assume the best is in its reactive nature, i.e., the onus is on the employee to act
and the company (the supervisor) to react. However, most employees do not share
7/30/2019 Project on Motivation Techniques
10/67
work-related concerns without the proactive encouragement of the immediate
supervisor.
MYTH SIX - Tell employees what you expect of them, let them do it their way and
then reward/ reprimand accordingly.
Tell-Delegate-Reward-Punish, one of the most popular approaches, direct
managers to provide initial direction by telling employees what is expected of them.
Rewards and/or punishments are based on the subjective judgments and values of the
immediate supervisor with little or no employee involvement.
MYTH SEVEN - All employees respond positively when asked to participate in
work related decision making.
The idea that all employees innately with to participate in work related decision-
making. Unfortunately, most participation activities fail due to managements collective
under appreciation for the extensive effort and time required to legitimately involving
employees in work related decision-making.
SPECIAL MOTIVATIONAL TECHNIQUES
There are a range of motivational techniques that can be used to improve
productivity, reduce workplace stress and increase self-confidence. Some of the major
motivational techniques are as follows.
1. Money
Maslows hierarchy of needs says that we are in continuous state of motivation
to do certain things to satisfy our needs. Our needs are classified into five levels in
order: physiological needs (e.g. hunger, thirst, and sex), safety needs (e.g. security and
protection from physical and emotional harm), social needs (e.g. affection,
belongingness, acceptance, and friendship), esteem needs (e.g. internal factors such as
self-respect, autonomy, and achievement; external factors such as status, recognition,
and attention), and self-actualization needs (e.g. growth, achieving ones potential, and
self-fulfillment).From the hierarchy, we see that money can only motivate people who
7/30/2019 Project on Motivation Techniques
11/67
are at physiological and safety needs but not those whose needs are at higher-level
needs in the hierarchy.
2. Participation
Participation is also means of recognition. It appeals to the need for affiliation and
acceptance. It gives people a sense of accomplishment. But encouraging participation should
not mean that managers weaken their positions. Although they encourage participation of
subordinates on matters with which the latter can help, and although they listen carefully, on
matters requiring their decision they must decide themselves.
3. Quality of working life (QWL)
Quality of Working Life is a process of work organizations which enables its
members at all levels to actively participate in shaping the organization environment,
methods and outcomes. Conceptual categories which together make up the quality of
working life are adequate and fair compensation, safe and healthy working conditions,
immediate opportunity to use and develop human capacities, opportunity for continued
growth and security, social integration in the work organization.ocial relevance of worklife.
There are a number of ways of inspiring and motivating a team and these include
the use of:
Positive imagery: Posting motivational themes and messages, in the form of slogans or
quotes, can help to positively empower a team.
Team-building activities: Despite mixed feelings about team-building activities, the
fact that they encourage people to work together outside the office environment can be a
definite advantage. They can encourage healthy competition and give each member of
staff the opportunity to be on the winning team. Improving team relationships can
result in increased productivity and morale, and can lead to a much happier and
healthier working environment.
Training: People can be taught to become more motivated by showing them how to
deconstruct tasks and challenges, and how to feel less intimidated by their job roles.
Demonstrating to them how to cope in the workplace can lead directly to improved
motivation.
7/30/2019 Project on Motivation Techniques
12/67
Enhanced communication: Communication does not only mean talking to your team
but also listening to them. It is important to ensure their understanding of company
objectives and their individual job roles but it is equally important to show them the
importance of their feedback to the achievement of targets and standards.
Targets, rewards and incentives: It is generally accepted that having targets to work
towards, as long as they are realistic, is one of the most effective ways of improving
performance. Hitting targets improves morale and self-confidence but remember that
those who consistently underachieve will end up feeling de motivated. Target
achievement can be rewarded not only with financial incentives but perhaps with the
offer of increased responsibility or even promotion.

"Ayurveda" or "Science of Life" the origin of most forms of natural and
alternative medicine has its mention in one of the oldest (about 6,000 years)
philosophical texts of the world, the Rig Veda. The Sutrasthana of Charaka Samhita, a
much referred Ayurvedic text, says; "The three, body, mind and soul are like a tripod,
the world stand by their combination; in them everything abides. It is the subject matter
of Ayurveda for which the teachings of Ayurveda have been revealed."
1In its broader scope, Ayurveda in India has always sought to prepare mankind
for the realization of the full potential of its self through a psychosomatic integration. A
comprehensive health care is what this natural and alternative medicine prescribes for
the ultimate self-realization. "Life (ayu) is the combination (samyoga) of body, senses,mind and reincarnating soul. Ayurveda is the most sacred science of life, beneficial to
humans both in this world and the world beyond."
The verses of Rig Veda, the earliest source of Ayurveda, refer to
panchamahabhut (five basic elements of the entire creation), and the three doshas or
primary forces of prana or vata (air), agni or pitta (fire) and soma or kapha (water and
earth) as comprising the basic principles of Ayurveda. One branch of Indian philosophy
Sankhya states that there are 24 elements, all of which constitute the foundation of
the gross world: earth, water, fire, air and either. These five elements in different
combinations constitute the three body types/doshasvata dosha (air and ether), pitta
dosha (fire) and kapha dosha (earth and water). The panchamahabhut and the dosha
theories are the guiding factors of Ayurveda as a therapeutic science. The Rig Veda also
mentions organ transplants and herbal remedies called soma with properties of elixir.
This science or knowledge of healing, as mentioned in the Rig Veda, was
revealed to Rishi Bharadvaja from the great Cosmic Intelligence. The knowledge
consists of three aspects known as the Tri-Sutras of Ayurveda, which areetiology or
the science of the causes of disease, symptomatology or the study and interpretation of
symptoms and medication and herbal remedies.
Approximately, during 4000 to 3000 BC, Sam Veda and Yajur Veda, the second
and third Vedas came into being. Chanting of mantras and performance of rituals were,
respectively, dealt in these two Vedas. And, during 3000 to 2000 BC Atharva the fourth
Veda was authored, of which Ayurveda is an upaveda (subsection). Though it had been
1Charaka Samhita, Sutrasthana, 1.42-43.
7/30/2019 Project on Motivation Techniques

practiced all along, it was around this time that Ayurveda in India was codified from the
oral tradition to book form, as an independent science. It enlists eight branches/divisions
of Ayurveda: Kayachikitsa (Internal Medicine), Shalakya Tantra (surgery and treatment
of head and neck, Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology), Shalya Tantra (Surgery),
Agada Tantra (Toxicology), Bhuta Vidya (Psychiatry), Kaumarabhritya (Pediatrics),
Rasayana (science of rejuvenation or anti-aging), and Vajikarana (the science of
fertility). The oldest treatise available on this codified version is Atreya Samhita.
Around 1500 BC Ayurveda was delineated into to two distinct schools: Atreya
The School of Physicians, and DhanvantariThe School of Surgeons. This made
Ayurveda a more systematically classified medical science, hereafter. Dhanvantari, whois considered to be a reincarnation of Lord Vishnu, was the guiding sage of Ayurveda.
He made this science of health and longevity popular and widely acceptable. In fact,
these two schools of thought led to the writing of two major books on Ayurveda
Charaka Samhita and Susruta Samhita.
These two Samhitas were written in the early part of 1000 BC. The great sage-
physician Charaka authored Charaka Samhita revising and supplementing the text
written by Atreya, which has remained the most referred Ayurvedic text on internal
medicine till date. Susruta, following the Dhanvantari School of Thought, wrote Susruta
Samhita, comprising the knowledge about prosthetic surgery to replace limbs, cosmetic
surgery, caesarian operations and even brain surgery. He is famed for his innovation of
cosmetic surgery on nose or rhinoplasty. Around 500 AD, Vagbhatt compiled the third
major treatise on Ayurveda, Astanga Hridaya. It contained knowledge comprising the
two schools of Ayurveda.
From 500 AD to 1900 AD, sixteen major Nighantus or supplementary texts on
Ayurveda like Dhanvantari Bhavaprakasha, Raja and Shaligram among others were
written incorporating new drugs, expansion in applications, discarding of old drugs and
identification of substitutes. These texts mention about 1814 varieties of plants in
vogue.
Evidences show that Ayurveda had nurtured almost all the medical systems of
the world. The Egyptians learnt about Ayurveda long before the invasion of Alexander
in the 4th century BC through their sea-trade with India. Greeks and Romans come to
know about it after the famous invasion. The Unani form of medical tradition came out
7/30/2019 Project on Motivation Techniques
15/67
of this interaction. In the early part of the first millennium Ayurveda spread to the East
through Buddhism and greatly influenced the Tibetan and Chinese system of medicine
and herbology. Around 323 BC, Nagarjuna, the great monastic of Mahayana Buddhism
and an authority on Ayurveda had written a review on Susruta Samhita. In 800 AD
Ayurveda was translated into Arabic. The two Islamic physicians Avicenna and Razi
Serapion, who helped form the European tradition of medicine, strictly followed
Ayurveda. Even, Paracelsus considered being the father of the modern western
medicine toed the line of Ayurveda, as well.
Its unique understanding of the similarities of natural law and the working of
human body, as well as its holistic treatment methods, help it to strike a balancebetween the two. This gives Ayurveda an edge over other healing systems. Perhaps
that's the reason behind Ayurveda being the longest unbroken medical tradition in the
world, today.
TRIDOSHAS
According to ayurveda, the human body is composed of 3 fundamental elements
called, "DOSHAS" which represents the physico - chemical and physiological activities
of the body. There are 3 kinds of doshas. They are 'Vata', 'Pitta'and 'Kapha', which maynot be equal and same in all people. Our food habits, lifestyle etc., can be adjusted
according to the body type, to maintain perfect health.
PANCHAKARMA
Panchakarama is the sacred manthra of rejuvenation. Panchakarma in Ayurveda
means five type of therapeutic way of treatment to eliminate toxins from the body and
to replenish the tissues of the patient.
The common procedure of Panchakarma includes Emesis (Vamanam), Purgation(Virechanam), Medication Oil Enema (Snehavasthi),Enema with herbal decoction, oils,
honey etc (Kashayavasthi) and Installation of medicines through nose (Nasyam).
The person who requires Ayurvedic treatment is assessed for his/her physical
and mental requirements and treatment is prescribed for various purposes like curative
treatments, disease prevention, rejuvenation and revitalization. Some of the general
types of treatments are as given below:
ABHAYANGAM
7/30/2019 Project on Motivation Techniques
16/67
It means oil massage. Medicated oil according to the needs of the individual is
massaged over the body. The person undergoing Abhayangam reclines in seven
positions and usually the same lasts between 45 to 60 minutes. This treatment is found
highly effective in reducing mental tension and in increasing the strength and functional
efficiency of the body muscles. Other beneficial effects of Abhayangam include better
body circulation, improving vigor and vitality, better and sound sleep and reduced
nervous weakness.
UDHHVARTHANAM
It means to raise or elevate. Fine medicated powder is applied over the whole
body with upward strokes of massage, quite opposite of the usual Ayurvedic massages.
The same seven positions of Abhayangam are followed here also and the treatment
usually lasts for 45 minutes. Udhhvarthanam is well known for its capability to induce
perspiration, reduce obesity, diminish body odor, and improve skin complexion and also
to provide better mobility to the body joints. Treatment is to be done for 7 to 14 days to
attain desired effects and is of good help in treating specific diseases where oil is contra
indicated or in the case were patient suffer from oil allergy.
NJAVARAKIZHIIt involves the fomentation of the body by applying linen bags filled with
Njavara rice cooked in milk and medicated decoction made primarily from
Kurumthotti all over the body. Ti is very important to maintain a constant temperature
while applying the linen bags and the paste of medicine is removed after specific period
of application with palm leaf scrappers. This treatment is found effective in treating the
degenerative changes in musculo-skeletal structure and is found to enhance strength,
vitality and complexion of body. Njavarakizhi also prevents the complication due to oldage debility."Shira Veda" (vein puncture), "Jalooka Avacharana" (leech application)
etc. are the methods commonly used for this. Using leeches in the treatment of many
skin diseases is well known and accepted all over the world. Leech application is used
in treating diseases like eczema, non-healing ulcers, varicose veins, pigment disorders,
hematomas, etc.
PIZHICHIL
In this treatment warm medicated oil is squeezed over the whole body of thepatient using a piece of cloth that is dipped in medicated lukewarm oil from the height
7/30/2019 Project on Motivation Techniques
17/67
of 3 to 4 fingers. A rhythmic pattern is followed while applying the oil, which is
followed by gentle massage. This therapy is effective in treating all types of nervous
degenerative diseases including all types of paralysis. A treatment that stimulates body
and its functional systems, Pizhichil is performed by Masseurs positioned at both sides
of the dhroni.
SWEDANAM
It is another form of sudation therapy where herbal steam is applied evenly on
the entire body to produce perspiration. The head region is excluded from the treatment
by admitting the patient into a specially made steam chamber for 15 to 20 minutes.
Before going the treatment the person undergoing the therapy is given cool liquids to
prevent dehydration. Swedanam can be effectively utilized in treating muscular stiffness
and numbness and is found to enhance the bodys blood circulation.
THAKARADHARA
It is a form of Dhara (pouring) where medicated buttermilk is poured over the
forehead and scalp continuously in an oscillating pattern for a period of 45 to 60
minutes. It is found effective in rejuvenating the brain cells thereby improving memory.
It is frequently used to cure sleeplessness, mental tension, all types of headaches,
premature graying and hair falling. Thakaradhara is also found to be very effective in
treating skin diseases like psoriasis.
TAILADHARA
It is another form of Dhara known as Snehadahara also, which uses medicated
lukewarm oil that is poured allover the body. A variation of this treatment is known as
Sirodhara , which is very popular where a vessel with a hole in the bottom is used to
pour oil on the scalp and forehead continuously for 45 to 60 minutes. This will be
repeated for 7 to 14 days. This therapy is very effective in maintaining the equilibrium
of body and mind. It is also found to increase the memory, clear voice tone and to
provide relief from all types of stress and strain.
KSHEERADHARA
One more form of dhara therapy where medicated lukewarm milk is poured over
the body to induce perspiration. Usually cows milk is utilized for the treatment, but
occasionally buffalo milk is also used in this treatment for diseases caused by the
disorders of pitha. The pouring of milk is done by using a special pitcher with nozzle
7/30/2019 Project on Motivation Techniques
18/67
and is continued for 45 to 60 minutes and is repeated for 7 to 14 days as per the
patients requirements. This treatment is found to be very effective in treating paralysis
and body weakness.
VASTI
It is one of the most important treatments of Ayurveda where vitiated doshas and
toxins are eliminated through anus by applying medicated enema. Herbal oils and
decoctions are introduced into colon through rectum. Vasti has a place of great
prominence in Panchakarma as the cleaning of alimentary canal is one sure shot way of
eliminating the body of its harmful toxins. Vasti means bladder in Sanskrit sand a
special device consisting of a bladder and a tube is used to administer the medicine.
Vasti is done either using processed oil or by a mixture of medicated oil, decoction of
herbs, honey and medicinal pastes. This treatment is effective against hemiplegia and
other paralytic conditions.
NASYAM
It is indicated that form of therapy where herbal oils, decoctions and powders
are applied through nasal openings. The process is usually carried out after applying oil
and steam on the face of the patient. Ayurveda considers nostrils as the pathway to the
brain and hence this therapy is very effective in purifying and rejuvenating the brain
cells. The therapy is very significant in Ayurveda as it is found to be very useful in
curing some of the serious ailments like loss of consciousness, stupor, insomnia,
hysteria, hemiplegia, and facial paralysis. It is also used to treat less serious disorders
relating to neck and shoulders.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
1. Effectiveness of Employee Cross-Training as a Motivational Technique:
7/30/2019 Project on Motivation Techniques
27/67
Vidya Gawali , While high employee turnover reflects on low morale and lack of
motivation, interestingly, seen from another angle, the absence of turnover quickly
results in de-motivation, because the possibility of lateral and forward-motion is
withhold from employees. It is against human nature to remain static, performing the
same duties day in day out, without expectation of change in routine or opportunities for
advancement. Moreover, the mundane methods of employee motivation such as
monetary rewards and perks have been left behind in preventing employee turnover.
This article reports effectiveness of employee Cross-Training as a motivational
technique compared to other motivational factors like performance based compensation,
working environment, leadership, perks and perquisites. For this purpose a survey wasconducted on 100 executives and managers from 20 different companies. The results
revealed that cross training substantially prevents turnover.

2. Man Not Machine:
Tom Stevens, The machine continues to be the dominant metaphor of the work place.
Experiences each day reinforce this perception of life-as-machine. People step on the
gas pedal and their cars move faster. They push a button and documents are copied
collated and stapled. Executives continue to look for that metaphorical lever, pedal, dial
or button that will motivate people, get them to change or increase morale. It's the
wrong thing to be looking for because it's the wrong metaphor. People aren't machines.
When it comes to people, think cultivate like a garden, not operate like a machine.
Cultivate goals; structure, skill and culture with care, and watch the value from the
people in your organization grow.

3. THE 4 RS OF MOTIVATION:
Michael Maccoby, Daniel H. Pink, author of Drive: The Surprising Truth about What
Motivates Us believes that what most motivate people at work are the "intrinsic"
rewards of mastering a task that engages them. Before you decide that you are better off
7/30/2019 Project on Motivation Techniques
28/67
not trying to motivate your team, the authors consider the proposition that Pink's thesis
fits some people in some contexts, but not others. This is what he observed over fifty
years of studying motivation, starting with research on concept formation
for his honors thesis at Harvard. The anxious students did better at problem solving
when there were no rewards, but those with low anxiety did better when stimulated by
the possibility of gaining a reward. The pressure seemed to motivate them. In Why
Work? (1988, 1995), he suggested that to motivate followers, leaders should employ a
mix of four Rs: Responsibilities, Relationships, Rewards, and Reasons.

4. Human Resources Motivation in a Workplace:
Kodjo Ezane Joseph, Changjun Dai. Interdisciplinary Journal of Contemporary
Research In Business studied that, In organizations, the managerial workers tend to
influence their subordinates in aligning their own motivation with the needs of the
organization. Motivating employees begins with the way to influence
worker's behavior. The understanding of this phenomenon is conducive to the results
expected by the organizations and the workers. The thrust of this article is to utilize a
descriptive survey approach to depict the scope of a certain numbers of factors
that stimulate employees in the workplace. Data was collected from a Utility Company
in Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire. There were 143 participants and 120 (85 males and 35
females) out of this number participated in the research. This represents an83.91%
response. The results of this paper are noteworthy within acceptable limits as they
indicate that interesting work; good pay; full appreciation of work done and job security
are outstanding drivers for employee motivation.

5. Inspired Staff Can See You Through Hard Times:
Bill Santamour, talked about how hospital leaders can create an environment in which
staff are inspired by what they do and inspire those around them. She said that
employees know there are at least five intrinsic motivators that cause them to do what
7/30/2019 Project on Motivation Techniques
29/67
they do, such things as being in healthy relationships with others, recognizing that
there's meaning to the work that produces a contribution, that they see progress in their
work, that they have choices and are involved in decision-making. If you have engaged
workers who are happy to be there, who feel happy about what they do, who feel
respected, who feel honored, and they treat people the same way. It ripples. Patients can
pick up unhappiness in employees within a nanosecond.

6. Leveraging Nonmonetary Factors to AttractTop Talent:
Healthcare organizations are experiencing a strong demand for employees, a situation
brought on, in part, by the aging population. With the gap between work force supply
and demand widening in the coming years, healthcare organizations should look for
ways to effectively manage the human resources piece of their organization.
While hospitals should routinely evaluate their compensation structures, non-monetary
motivators also can be leveraged to attract top talent. An important first step is to
identify reasons a prospective employee would choose your organization
over one of your competitors. Those reasons become the brand to promote in all
recruiting efforts. Other ways to promote your hospital include its physical structure.
