employees. Hence, organizations are used different motivation tools in a tactical way.
A person is intrinsically motivated if he/she performs an activity for no apparent
reward except the activity itself. In that way organizations motivate their employees
through fulfillment of their employee's expectation by the means of rewards.
Employees feel happy and motivated when their superiors treat them with great
appreciation, give new challenges, caring attitude, and recognition rather than those
benefits are given by the monetary benefit from the organization. Indeed, motivation
is primarily a basic drive to individual to work hard. In the workplace, it is especially
important to motivate employees so that they meet their full potential. In fact, apparel
employees should be available more time in all days due to work load. Thus this
