Introduction
Employee motivation can describe as a commitment or the amount of energy an employee presents in an enterprise. Imperatively, employee motivation is one of the critical entities in an organization because it determines productivity and creativity (Pincus, 2020). It plays an integral role in a company; it defines the extent of success in that particular company. There are different ways to motivate employees, such as providing medical covers, paid vacation, and a friendly working environment that enables them to speak and interact freely. Facebook, Twitter, and Apple are known to have competitive incentives to motivate their employees.
The Significance of Employee Motivation
It would be absurd to imagine success in a company that does to motivate its workers. Employee motivation is very vital in every organization since it ensures resources are not wasted.

Some workers fear that they would be productive if they are given the space to work without close supervision. Twitter is a perfect example of companies that give freedom to their workers (Fernández & Pitts, 2011). It is reported they work within their speed, and the level of productivity within the company is anonymous. Over the years, the company has maximized profits because they encourage autonomy.
* Increased payment
Most managers do not understand the importance of payment concerning the employees. Most companies focus on expansion and maximizing profits returns, and they end up stretching employees without bonus incentives. This scenario's results are apparent; workers get bored and surge creativity because they are not appreciated. Workers need to receive a good paycheck to encourage them to do more work; remember, money is a motivation by itself. It would be fatal to an organization to always focus on business operations without considering workers (Karask...
