Abstract
This study elaborates impact of motivation which causes energetic effect on
employees performance. Respective studies and research theories have been
discussed to identify how motivation is important to enhance workability of
organisations workforce. Primarily it has been observed that those employees are
more beneficial and satisfied who are motivated rather than those who are less
motivated and more likely to leave their job. Study has tried to identify those
motivational or dismotivational factors which affect employees performance. Tesco
has been found a market leader in UKs retail industry. Author exceptionally
evaluated Tescos strategy and work environment regarding employees motivation
as 472,000 workers are working in different stores. Research will be consists of both
type of data quantitative and qualitative. Data would be gathered by interviewing
and filling a questioner from the employees working in different branches of Tesco.
Ethical issues will also be considered. The outcomes of this paper will be helpful in
making efficient strategy regarding employees motivation which directly affects
organisational performance.

1. Background
In organization mangers are the only ones who are responsible to be work done
through their subordinates. In this context motivation plays a vital role and
managers must know how to motivate their employees in order to get work done. In
fact motivation is not an easy task and also quite difficult to act upon motivational
secrets rather doing discussions.
With the help of enormous research on this topic, motivation still remains poorly
described and though poorly practised. Human nature is the basic element which
needs to be understood thoroughly before initiating motivational procedure. In
working organization managers must got this ability that they should better
understand human nature of their employees so that they can accordingly motivate
them for particular task.
There is a famous saying that You can take a horse to the water but you cannot
force it to drink; it will drink only if its thirsty so with people. People behave in
same way, they only do what actually they want to do or they do for what they are
motivated to. Either these are routine tasks or particular job assigned by their
managers, employees should be motivated whether by their managers or through
itself. Some people are self-motivated in their nature and some are not. So it is
managers duty to motivate them accordingly which is absolutely important and an
essential ingredient for the organisational success, yes employees motivation.
Most commonly in business organizations managers seems to be leaders for their
employees. Leadership and motivation are two well famous, loudly spoken and
also wrongly interpreted words. Managers are heavily inspired by leadership theoriesand suppose them leaders. Most of them think and behave like knights of their army
with extra ordinary qualities despite those qualities never smelled them ever. This
instinct is quite dangerous both for workers as well as for that organization.
Contrarily workers might have not that kind of views about their managers or so
called leaders. Motivation is also widely misconduct among people How can i
motivate the members of my team? this basically has vanished the concept of
motivation which lies in performance rather than dictation.

We cannot ignore the significance of leadership in motivation and a pivotal link
between them. Leadership is basically responsible for setting direction for
organisation and stick employees with them. Leaders do have exceptional qualities in
their personalities which are eloquent in attaining extraordinary targets for theorganisation. These individuals are primary motivational source for the workforce
(Torrington, Hall&Taylor, 2005).
2. Introduction Of Company (Tesco)
As I had selected TESCO as my case study, so in the light of above mentioned
theories of Employees motivation, it is necessary to mention bit about TESCO. Tesco
is a United Kingdom based international Retail Supermarket chain. It is the largest
British retailer both by global sales and by domestic market share. Establish in 1924.
Tesco is the third largest retailer in the world next to Wal-Mart, Carrefour and is
operating around 2,440 stores and employing over 400,000 people. Tescos market
share of UK retailing is 30%. (Dave Hughes, 2011)
Tesco has also diversified itself into several areas such as clothing, fashion, Finance,electronics, furniture, petrol and telecommunication. Tesco has its own website for
online shopping meeting current requirement of Information Technology. This
website is hugely recommended as one of the most actively viewed website where
about 2440 orders been take place per week.
3. Aims, Research Questions and Objectives
In this chapter author has explained research questions to be explored andobjectives associated with this research work.
3.1 Aims and Objective
The main aim of this research is to investigate how motivation has a great impact on
employees performance which leads to success or failure of business organizations.
In case of TESCO, how it gained a consistent place in the market in terms of
employees motivation.

The objectives of this study are as follows;
Research Objective 1:To explore the relationship between employees
motivation and their performance.
Research Objective 2:To identify impact of employees motivation on
organizational performance such as TESCO.
Research Objective 3:Evaluate factors which are crucial in employees
motivation.
Research Objective 4: Finally analyse the role of management in improving
performance of employees by motivational factors.
3.2 Research Problem
This research will also depict how motivation of employees in Tesco affects the
performance and delivery of good customer service. It also aligns some problems
which caused by demotivation among employees and due to which customer service
may affects badly. In short, motivation should cause such an environment in whichemployee must enjoy performing his/her duties and make sure that must linked to
job satisfaction.
3.3 Selected Organisation - Tesco
As mentioned above in Background of this paper, there are number of motivational
theories which have been discussed in past few decades. Recently this discussion
get strong grip over known managements as TESCO. TESCO is the one of the largest
retailer in the world and since few years it has gained consistently very strong
position in the world share market. There is a lot of research has been made on
TESCOs success story, but in this research I am very inspired to scratch TESCOs
strategies in motivating its employees to get current status of World Market Leader.

4. Literature Review
4.1 Introduction
In this section some excerpt will be provided from the previous studies about
motivation, role, impact and different theories about motivation. Furthermore,
author has concluded some factors which involved in employees motivation which
directly affect their performance and companies as well.
4.2 What is Motivation
Employees are as blood in human body as in any organization. They directly affect
the performance of overall any business or organization. So managers supposed to
be capable of motivation and should motivate employees accordingly in order to
make their organization. Managers need to know attitude of each employee and
those factors as well which really motivate them individually. Better they know the
needs of their employees, better they can motivate them.
Susan Velez describes motivation as a psychological phenomenon and says
Motivation is an attribute which is essential to attain anything in life, without
motivation distress overcome to you and youll lose in first attempt. So this is
motivation that keeps a person tie with his/her goal and give him/her a stand in
calamity (Susan Ve-lez, 2005).
In psychology Motivation is well researched and analysed. More often managing
staff faces obstacles in motivating their employees. They find that some of the staff
members use their good enough energy to perform their duties and others consume
very little in order to do daily activities at workplace successful.
(From http://www.accelteam.com/motivation/index. html accessed at 11/04/2011).
Geller explains, motivation deduced from a Latin word movere means to move.
Hence it described as how behaviour starts, energized, sustained, directed and
stopped (Geller, E.S. 2001).

Stewart described motivation as a behaviour that moves a person to do something.
Generally there are two factors which trigger our most of activities, a potential
reward and outcome of not doing something (Stewart, 2004).
4.3 Employees Potential
In order to perform a successful task an employee must got certain abilities such as
his/her propensity, skills, some borne characteristics and capability to learn while
living in learning organisation. It is primarily very necessary to put right person on
right place in order to make right work team.
1. Select intelligent staff.2. Develop certain abilities necessary for their daily basis jobs.
3. Redesignjob to make employees abilities appropriate.
4.4 Role Perception
Role perception is a behaviour which is necessary to get wished results.
The employee needs to:
1. Understand that what jobs must done by him
2. Understand the importance of relative tasks.
3. Understand his/her preferred behaviours which are helpful to finish tasks.
4.5 The employer has to:
1. Provide thorough information regarding their role.
2. Provide employees performance feedback.
3. Provide necessary training regarding their job description.
4.6 Situational factor
There are few external or internal Environmental factors which constrain or facilitate
behaviour.

5. Motivation Theories
5.1Maslows Theory of Motivation
Abraham Maslows presents a motivation theory known as Maslows Hierarchy of
needs or need theory, in 1954. In his book Motivation and Personality he sketched
need theory as a pyramid which consists of four layers, on the top of the pyramid
there is self-actualization while largest needs of human being are at the bottom. The
basic four layers are consists of what Maslow called D-need means Deficiency needs
such as Esteem, Friendship, love, sense of security and physical needs. He explained
that if these D-needs are not justified to the employee he feels himself demotivated
and tense. He used term Meta motivation, the people which walk past basic needs
called meta-motivated (Maslows, 1954).
The main crest of Maslows Theory of motivation is Self-actualization. Self-actualization is about to explore ones self at maximum level. All other lower level
needs can be fulfilled but exploring him/herself, this need never be satisfied. There
are always infinite growing chances psychologically.
Self-actualized people have motivators as follows:
Truth
Justice
Wisdom
Meaning
Maslow says there are bunch of people who approach this self-actualization. This
bunches of people really motivate by truth, justice and wisdom.

5.1.1 Esteem NeedsThis is the primary need of an employee, when he/she performed hard in the
interest of company; he/she loves to attain esteem needs. These E-needs can be
classified into two, internal or external motivator.
Below are few examples of Esteem needs.
Recognition (external motivator)
Attention (external motivator)
Social Status (external motivator)
Accomplishment (internal motivator)
Self-respect (internal motivator)
5.1.2 Social Needs
When an employee fulfilled his/her basic needs he/she feels higher level needs than
the lower one. This higher level needs usually characterized as Social which is as
follows.
Friendship
Belonging to a group
Giving and receiving love
5.1.3 Safety Needs
After getting social needs, safety needs comes up in employees mind. Which are as
follow?
Living in a safe area
Medical insurance
Job security
Financial reserves
5.1.4 Physiological Needs
Physiological needs are as under:

5.2 Mars Model of Individual Behaviour
MARS Model of Individual Behavior actually talks about that behavior of an individual
which comes up as a result of internal or external factors which influence separately
or together on an individual. This model basically discusses an individual motivation,
its capabilities, its role in organization and some other situational factors. In fact
these four are the prime tools and reasons quite helpful evaluating ones behavior
and results.
This model can be used for several circumstances and situations but especially this is
for the management, business industry and organizational behavior studies (Karin
HB&Liber AB, 2007).
According to Steven L. Mc Shane, MARS model describes a collective impact which
affects performance of an individual in organization. According to MARS model for

example, if sales force of any organization are full equipped with motivation and
good product knowledge but with insufficient resources (Situational Factors), how
they could perform well. (Steven, Mary A. Von Glinow, 2003).
5.3 ERG Theory
ERG theory basically initiated by Clayton Alderfer and it is actually extension of
Maslows Theory of Motivation in which he tells about basic needs of individual. But
in ERG theory Clayton suggest that those five basic needs explained earlier by
Maslow can be grouped into following groups (Nancy Brokowski, 2011).
Existence
Relatedness
Growth
Name of that theory is basically collection of first letters of the E-existence, R-
relatedness and G-growth (Alderfer, C. P., 1972).
6. PERFORMANCE
Herzberg says, having fewer dis-satisfiers does not motivate a worker to do a good
job, but only to stay in it" (Herzberg, 1959). Employees performance directlyconnected to their motivation level, more they motivated more they work hard.
6.1 HOW DOSE MOTIVATION AFFECT PERFORMANCE
Basically motivation is an internal process which results to that kind of behaviour
which leads into success and fulfilment of needs.
Here is the performance formula
Performance = Ability Motivation Resources (2x2x2=8)Source : Carter, S., Shelton, M., The Performance Equation - What makes truly great,
sustainable performance", Apter Development LLP (2009)
Suppose there is no motivation, put 0 in above formula and get result 0. So
motivation is core element which directly proportional to the success of any
organization.

7. TESCO
7.1 INTRODUCTION
Jack Cohen was a man who sold groceries goods on a stall in the street of London.
This man is basically founder of Tesco. Jack purchased tea for his stall from T.E
Stockwell and furthermore it merges with and Tesco come in being in 1919. Tescos
first shop evolved in 1929.
Now Tesco has more than 2200 stores all over the world. With the passage of time
Tesco went diversified and now it deals in different goods and services like banking,
online shopping through its own website, insurance, telecommunication and film
making. Tesco is UKs largest retailer having 3.4 billion of net profit margin (Potter,Mark "Tesco to outpace growth at global rivals study". Reuters accessed at
12/04/2011).
7.2TESCOS EMPLOYEE EMPOWERMENT
Tescos workforce consists of more than 468,000 employees worldwide. It has very
clear strategy about employees as they provided full training and product knowledge
and strong grip on customer service as it is now basic tool for getting competitive
advantage. Tesco knows that employees training and proper information about
customer service and product is core business process and with that they can grow
consistently worldwide.
Tesco motivates their employees in various ways to assure best customer service
which is one of the Tescos characteristic and secret of getting strong competitive
advantage in retail market.
7.3 HOW TO MOTIVATE WORKFORCE
Tesco believes very strongly that business confide in two groups of people,
customers and their staff. They also believe staff must have unique and diverse
lifestyle even when they not at work. To make sure this unique diverse lifestyle they
provided different kind of rewards and schemes for the employees (Johnson, J.A.
2009).
Making sure working hours should be flexible.

To overcome employees health issue Tesco provide low or free health
benefits.
Tesco provide discounted or reduced gym membership
Handsome salaries packages Tesco offers special staff discount at every store
And also company share options.
Each business must look after their activities and ensure they create respect and
trust among their workforce (Ed, Rose, 2004), as they have been well identified by
Tesco. Tesco has motivated their employee by creating a cooperative and healthy
work environment, assigning sensible and realistic goals and offering above
mentioned valuable rewards. A motivated employee works at Tesco accompanied
with others to attain periodical individual and team goals. It means Tescos
employee keen to provide vigorous customer service and devoted to get feedback
from them.
Tesco has a vibrant strategy regarding rewarding their employees, these rewards in
actual act as motivational factors. These factors basically cement employees with
their organization such as TESCO. Tesco provide multiple kinds of rewards to their
staff so that they can be motivated and remains loyal to them.
Tesco offers free company share to those employee who has worked for more
than 1 year.
Pension scheme for the employees.
Offering multiple discount vouchers such as Christmas or pay slip vouchers.
Health care reward is one of the attractive facilities among staff as it is free or
at minimum cost.
Gym membership.
Holiday discounts.

8. Research Methodologies
8.1 Proposed Research Method(s)
A scientific study is to be needed in order to get resolution of the research issue
which been mentioned earlier. Websters in 1985 argued that scientific research
should be consolidating systematic planning and research must be led on different
foots. At each stage of research, internal and external integration must be assured
by researchers. On the top researcher must have such an adaptability to tune
research programs and their technique accordingly when required.
8.2 Type of Research
In this research both quantitative and qualitative research would be contemplated.
Research passes through various stages before it gets its anticipated aim (Zikmund
(2000), Cooper and Schindler (2006)). Furthermore, in order to find out important
directions of project, in depth literature review is required. On the basis of reviewed
literature different aspects of research must be analysed. Findings of research
needed to be analysed and for this purpose questioner are quite helpful. In addition
to this as Cooper and Schindler 2006 contributed that research classification is also
mandatory. On the basis of findings this research might be descriptive, cross-
functional or might be communication sort. Also a complete survey must be carried
out which will filled by respondents.
8.3 Data Collection Methods
In order to led this research data will be collected in both types primary and
secondary. Secondary data will be gathered from magazines, books, journals,websites etc. On the other hand primary data will be collected with the help of
questioner and surveys while involving employees directly from different Tescos
stores.
Among them primary data is more important as it states the relevant data being
collected for the research purpose.

8.5 Population Definition
In research, researcher indicates a totality of any peculiar object which refers to
whole of the population involved. The reason of mentioning this reference is extract
a subset which will be studied by researcher for finalizes this research. Further
researcher instigates some sort of inferential statics in order to achieve a judgement
which will be applicable for the whole of population which consists of all the
employees of Tesco.
8.6 Sample Size and Selection Procedure
According to Cooper and Schindler, 2006, researcher will use both probability based
and non-probability based options in order to select a sample. In the non-probability
based sampling there are two main advantages one is cost and other is time saving.
Hence non probability based sampling method will be used in this research. It is also
suggested that researcher will use factor loading technique. Garson (2009) suggests
that more than 100 employee is the right size to be used.
8.7 Development of Questionnaire and Pre-testing
In this research, as stated earlier a complete survey must be required using a
comprehensive questioner. In different Tescos branches located in different areas,
employees would be asked that questioner. Also this questioner must be go through
testing phase which contains about four or five respondents before its official
launching.
8.8 Data Analysis TechniqueIt is anticipated that despite using circumstantial statistical analysis, factor analysis
technique would be used comprising of principle component method and varimax
rotation. This called multiple data analysis technique and is widely employed. The
data analysis will be made in MS Excel 2007 and MS Word 2007 would be used for
report writing.

8.9 Ethical Issues
The total data which been collected during the research should be kept and used
confidentially and All the data collected during this research will be used
confidentially and with anonymity as long as respondents will grant permission asmentioned by Bell (2005) as well. These both aspects must be considered most
important during the any part of research.
