This paper would highlight the different ways to motivate employees and how it helps in promoting productivity of the organization. In this study a detailed discussion would also be there to explain how to make feel that the work they do has meaning. There are many ways to motivate employees. Managers who want to encourage productivity should work to ensure that employees was greatly appreciated and rewarded with diligent employee performance. In order to study the various issues highlighted in this paper related to employee motivation, a large body of literature mainly from different journals have been incorporated. To make the study more relevant only those studies were included which were published in the last few decades.

The novelty of this study lies in its theoretical framework where authors have made an attempt to come up with a construct having dimensions that directly or indirectly influences employee motivation.
