In general increased motivation of people improves their
productivity. However, increased productivity may also increase motivation. This will
primarily result from the encouragement provided by earlier
improvements.
As stated in the post above, increased
productivity will led to increased prosperity of the employee, which may then motivate
to try to earn even more by improving productivity further. However, there are situation
which are quite opposite of this also when the policies followed by the organization are
faulty. These there is no dearth of instances the employees, deliberately produce less
because they fear that fruits of better productivity will be fully apportioned by
employers with nothing left for the employee but the harder
work.
However at times the better productivity itself
becomes a reward in itself. People do take pride in and feel satisfied with their own
achievements irrespective of whether or not they receive external physical reward for
it. There are many people who are motivated by just the recognition, and public
knowledge of increased productivity is a form of public recognition of good performance.
There are still others who may be motivated by need for self actualisation. Such people
are motivated by their own achievements, even when these are not recognized or
appreciated by others.
