i) Motivation is one of the most important factors that determine organizational efficiency. Organizational facilities go to waste if people are not motivated to use them effectively and efficiently. Each superior in an organization should motivate his/her subordinates for the right types of behaviour.
ii) In an organization, motivation is important because it leads to employee’s high performance level. Motivated employees put in more effort as compared to other employees who are not. High performance, which is essential for an organization’s success, comes partly by motivation.
iii) It helps reduce/lower employee turnover and absenteeism. Motivated employees tend to stay in the organization and their absenteeism rate is low. High turnover and absenteeism may lead to recruiting, training, and developing a large number of personnel which may be costly to the organization. High turnover and absenteeism also unfavourably affects the reputation of the organization.
iv) Motivated employees can accept organizational changes with minimal resistance. The society is dynamic hence there can be changes in technology, value systems, etc. and an organization has to incorporate the changes in order to cope with the changing times. However, when these changes are introduced in the organization, there is a tendency on the part of the employees to resist them. But if the employees are well motivated, they will accept, and implement the changes keeping the organization in progress.
(vi) Motivated employees make full use of their energy and other abilities to raise the existing level of efficiency.
(vii) Motivated employees make goal-directed efforts. They are more committed and cooperative for achieving organizational objectives.
(viii) Motivated employees are more loyal and sincere to an organization. These factors help reduce absenteeism and labour turnover.
