Employee motivation in private commercial bank

An organization is a team of people working to the advantage of the organization itself. The workforce employed is ranked differently distinguishing some into operative level and some into managerial level in banks. The primary task of managerial level staff is that of maintaining the organization to effective functioning. For this cause manager must see that his sub-ordinates work efficiently and produce results that are beneficial to the organization. "Since every action a manager takes in an organization stimulates a reaction in his subordinates he has no choice of whether or not he motivates them but how he does it. Thus the application of motivation is considered and managers are required to see if their actions be effective so that employees work for the benefit of the organization, or ineffective to the organization determinants.

It is a proven fact that the performance of any one's at his job is affected by a combination of ability and motivation. These two variables are such that one is absolutely disturbed in absence of another. For instance, ability cannot be extracted if there is no motivation to use them and likewise motivation cannot be valued if there is no ability. Since then much work has been done which is of relevance to management of human beings within the organization. A.H. Maslow's need hierarchy has also got its roots in the above findings. McGregor's conventional and modern theories tried to distinguish a gap between management philosophies on the very ground of managers realization of human requirements.

In spite of the tremendous development so far recorded in dealing with human factor of an organization this" modern management ideas are rejected for being too western in Nepalese organization". Motivating employees have never been regarded as a prime necessity here. The positive motivation which is named "anxiety reducing approach" or the "carrot approach" that offers something valuable for acceptable performance has nothing relationship with the benefit as provided. For, the advantage of the scheme is for all. Once it is applied and there is no question of acceptable or unacceptable performance. However, negative motivation or stick approach can be observed being enforced now and then. It is a threat against unacceptable performance. Moreover, this term also has got limited scope as the length of acceptable performance has yet to be defined.

The present study focuses its aim at bringing out some managerial philosophies as practiced in dealing with human relation in today's banking organization and motives to work among the employees. The studies although titled to the motivational aspect in broad, special attention have been paid to the lower level's motivation.
