Abstract The term motivation has been defined variously by different persons in the fields of Psychology and Management. This is an area which has always and shall continue to attract researchers. While a motivated employee is identified by his/her enthusiasm towards the job, efforts they make to get through a challenge and their performance on the job, on the other hand the nonmotivated employee is also identified using the same criterion. The motivation level influences the relationship and sensitiveness of personnel and in turn a reciprocal effect is also there. The consequences of motivation in organisation is evaluated in terms of productivity/performance.
