Abstract

Induction and Employee Motivation has become a hot topic of management. Employees are considered just another input into the production of goods and services. It is observed that the employees are taking a lot of time to acclimatize to the new work place since they are lacking knowledge about the various aspects of the organisation and where to consult for their work regarding doubts and issues and to start their work. Newly joined employees possess high anxiety levels and many of them quit their job in their early stages of work. So induction helps an employee to know about the work place and their job responsibilities. Motivation has been shown to have roots in physiological, behavioral, cognitive, and social areas. Motivation may be rooted in a basic impulse to optimize well-being, minimize physical pain and maximize pleasure. Motivation is an inner drive to behave or act in a certain manner. These inner drives such as wishes, desires, goals, activate to move in a particular direction in behavior.
