CHAPTER 2: LITERATURE REVIEW Definition Review of literature can be defined as a process of collecting facts and figures from different historical research studies. For the current study researcher will collect literature data on motivation and employee turnover (Kotler, Bowen and Makens, 2006). There are different sources by which author can collect facts and figures such as studies of past research scholars, website and annual report of D&D, journals and articles, etc. All these information will help in getting appropriate insights to understand research problem. Collected data of literature will also provide assistance in developing hypothesis which will play important role in determining that weather motivation helps in reducing employee turnover or not. Author will analyze different motivational theories for determining different ways for motivating employees of pub and hotels of London (Jeon and Choi, 2012). Motivation As per the theoretical perspective motivation can be defined as behavior of person which shows reasons behind actions, desire and needs of people. On the other hand, Ivanov, 2014 has stated that “Motivation can be defined as internal and external factors of human being which encourage desires and energy in people which helps in increasing interest and satisfaction towards job, role and subject” (Ivanov, 2014). As per the above statements, motivation helps in increasing encouragement among employee to make appropriate efforts to achieve goals and objectives of the firm. In contrast, Muondo and Perkins, 2013 has asserted that “Motivation is a process which initiates, guides and maintain goal oriented behavior of employees” (Muondo and Perkins, 2013). Findings of different research studies have reflected that motivation involves different factors such as biological, emotional, social and cognitive factors. All these factors affect, change and activate

Buy Assignment from well known company Instant Assignment Help Australia


behavior of employees which help in completing each and every task in effective manner (Weiner, 2012). Donohue, 2007 has concluded that “Lack of motivation can affect individual as well as organizational performance” (Donohue, 2007). Moreover, low level of motivation reduces the satisfaction level of employees by which they cannot complete their roles in effective manner which affect goals and objectives of the firm. The current research study is based on hospitality organization and Murphy and Yetmar, 2010 has asserted that “quality of services is one of the important factor for success of hospitality firm and lack of motivation can harm quality and productivity of the company” (Murphy and Yetmar, 2010). So, maintaining organizational success, each and every organization tries to improve motivation of employees. Motivation and Employee turnover Employee leaves organizations because of different reasons such as lack of trust and communication, limited opportunity and advance career development. All these reasons reduce motivation among employees which increases rate of employee turnover. There are two types of employee turnover, involuntary and voluntary turnover (Charantimath, 2005). Hayes and Ninemeier, 2007 has asserted that “Sometimes organizations terminate employees for different reasons which are known as involuntary turnover” (Hayes and Ninemeier, 2007). Major reasons of involuntary turnover may performance issues, absenteeism and organizational policies. But on the other hand, Kalivas and Volkow, 2014 has stated that “motivation is the major reason behind voluntary turnover and such types of turnover affects performance of the firm” (Kalivas and Volkow, 2014). There are different other reasons by which employees leaves their offices so, management of the firm needs to increase motivation for retaining employees. Lucio, 2013 has

Buy Assignment from well known company Instant Assignment Help Australia


concluded that “there are different techniques by which manager can stay employees in organization for longer period of time” (Lucio, 2013). Chambers, Taylor and Potenza, 2014 has found that “Hiring employees is not an easy process for managers so, organization needs to reduce employee turnover and increase employee retention” (Chambers, Taylor and Potenza, 2014). Therefore, high employee turnover is not favorable for each and every organization so, company needs to try to retain personnel in appropriate manner (Elliot and Dweck, 2013). Lillis, 2008 has concluded that “labor market is not effective from last few years so, it is very difficult for manager of organizations to find and keep good employees” (Lillis, 2008). So, employee retention is very important for each hospitality firm. There are different employee retention strategies which help in motivating employees for a longer period of time. In contrast, there are different motivational strategies which also help in encouraging employees for staying in a same organization for longer period of time (Weiner, 2013). So, motivation plays very important role in retaining workers of hospitality organization. Effective communication among top and lower level management helps in motivating staff members which leads increment in employee retention rates. Along with this, appropriate policies of salary, wages, bonus and rewards are also considered as appropriate strategies of employee retention. Role of motivation is increases interest and enthusiasm of staff members towards the roles and responsibilities. Therefore, motivation plays very significant role in retaining employees of the firm (What Is Motivation, 2015). Motivational techniques have positive impacts on employee turnover. Because, appropriate level of motivation helps in encouraging employees for providing their best performance which increases the overall productivity of the firm. Along with this, motivation satisfies needs and requirements of personnel which augment the level of satisfaction towards the job. It increases interest and

Buy Assignment from well known company Instant Assignment Help Australia


willingness of employees to do work for organization. Therefore, motivation has positive impact in increasing the satisfaction of personnel (Need & Importance of Employee Retention, 2015). It has indirect impact on employee turnover of the firm because highly satisfied employees will not think about leaving the office which increases the rate of employee retention. So, overall motivation has positive impact on employee turnover (Motivational Techniques, 2015). Motivational theories Different researchers have introduced various theories of motivation by which an organization can encourage their employees for giving their best performance. Motivation is one of the important factors for augmenting individual as well as organizational performance of a company (Pinder, 2014). Maslow’s theory of motivation It is also called hierarchical theory of need. According to this theory, There are different types of need of each and every individual which require appropriate satisfaction otherwise it can reduce level of motivation among them. Every organization requires determining the actual needs of individual employees. As per this theory, major needs of employees are physiological, safety, love and belonging, esteem and self-actualization needs (DÜrnyei and Ushioda, 2013). Social need is also known as basic needs and requirements of employees such as water, food, shelter, etc. Another need of employee is safety which includes security of body, employment, family, health and property, etc. Love and belongingness are also another need of an individual which includes requirements of friendship, family and sexual intimacy, etc. After satisfying lower level needs management of organization needs to focus on satisfying esteem needs of employees which comprises selfesteem, confidence, achievement and respect. Self-actualization is higher level of needs and for satisfying such types of need management of the firm requires to

Buy Assignment from well known company Instant Assignment Help Australia


focus on morality and creativity, etc.

(Bhattacharyya, 2009). As per this theory

organizations should determine actual needs and requirements of employees. By satisfying these needs company can motivate their employees in effective manner (Green, 2007). Two factor theory It is also known as Herzberg’s theory of motivation. As per this theory, there are two types of factors which can affect level of motivation of employees at workplace. These factors are hygiene factor and motivation factors. Hygiene factors reduce the level of job satisfaction and motivational factors increases the job satisfaction of employees (McAuley, Duberley and Johnson, 2007). So, each and every organization needs to focus on increasing the satisfaction level of employees towards the job. These factors will help in augmenting motivation which helps in increasing their level of performance and productivity of the organization. In the hospitality organization hygiene factor are low qualities of performance, poor payment and unfavorable policies and regulations, etc. Further, inappropriate working environment, employee relationship and job security also decline the level of job satisfaction. Therefore, organization needs to remove all these factors form workplace for increasing the job sis-satisfaction among employees. In contrast, there are different motivational factors by which an organization can increase level of motivation among employees (Lee and Morrison, 2010). These factors include promotional

opportunities,

personal

growth

opportunities,

recognition,

responsibilities and achievements, etc. Consequently, considering all these factors company can augment job satisfaction of employees and increase the level of motivation. Theory X and theory Y

Buy Assignment from well known company Instant Assignment Help Australia


As per this theory different managers of organization use distinct models of motivation which help in managing human resources, organization behavior and culture. It is also known as a framework which helps in analyzing relationship between motivation and leadership style (Buchanan and Huczynski, 2010). According to their theory style of leadership has huge impact on level of motivation. Theory X states that managers need to be controlled employees for best outcomes of organization. Employees do not like work they need to be pushed for being more productive. Good incentive schemes are required for motivating employees (GonzĂĄlez, 2004).

But on the other hand, Theory Y states that appropriate

participation of employees can increase their outcomes and they can think for making any important decisions for completing their roles and responsibilities. Appreciation of employees can motivate effective as compare to incentive schemes. Therefore, both theories have stated different views by which an organization can motivate employees. But, both theories are not appropriate for all situations so, organization manager needs to apply appropriate theory as per the situation analysis (Butler, 2010). Most of the employees through that Theory Y is more effective for increasing productivity. But, it will not appropriate at the time of financial difficulties. Similarly, theory X is not suitable for daily routine but favorable at the time of crisis management. Therefore, hospitality organization needs to use appropriate style of leadership for increasing level of motivation among personnel (Mullins, 2010).

that

“Motivation is one of the major function of hospitality organization because it is also known as core of management� (Krishnaswamy, Sivakumar and Mathirajan, 2009).

Buy Assignment from well known company Instant Assignment Help Australia


Palmer and Hartley, 2008 has concluded that “if any manager who is not capable to motivate their employees then he/she cannot become successful in his/her career” (Palmer and Hartley, 2008). Action, 2013 has stated that “Motivation has strong association with performance of the firm so, it is very important for achieving goals and objectives of the organization” (Action, 2013). After reviewing literature researcher has found some major importance of motivation for hospitality organization which are as follows: Improve level of performance: Avgerou, 2008 has asserted that “ability and willingness to do work have direct association with the efficiency of the person” (Avgerou, 2008). Education and appropriate training help in increasing the ability of employees but willingness is obtained by motivation only. Therefore lack of motivation among employees will reduce the willingness that leads reduction in efficiency of personnel. It also affect personal and professional performance of employees which can decline overall performance of the firm (Mahmood and Hanafi, 2013). Therefore, motivation can increases overall efficiency of employees which augments productivity as well as reduces cost of the company. So, motivation is very important for increasing the level of performance of the organization (Bass and Riggio, 2008). Help to change negative attitudes of employee: Some of employees of the organization have negative attitude and due to this reason they think that doing high work will not bring any additional benefits (Aggett, 2007). Donohue, 2007Has concluded that “An effective manager always try to change their negative attitudes by different motivational techniques” (Donohue, 2007). There are many employees in an organization who have poor financial condition so, manager can change their negative attitudes by increasing their remuneration. But, on the other hand, financial strong

Buy Assignment from well known company Instant Assignment Help Australia


employees can be motivated by appreciation of work. So, organization needs to focus on appropriate motivational techniques for changing negative attitudes of employees. Therefore, appropriate motivational technique helps in reducing the negative attitudes of employee towards organization (Lucio, 2013). Reduction in employee turnover: Rate of employee turnover affects reputation and performance of the firm. This situation also creates lots of other problems for manager of the organization. Due to high employee turnover organization needs to hire number of new employees which leads waste of time and cost for organization. Employee turnover also increases cost of training of an organization (Murphy and Yetmar, 2010). Weiner, 2013 has asserted that “through the appropriate motivation an organization can resolve

problems

and

employees”

(Weiner,

2013).

Appropriate motivation increases satisfaction level of employees which decline the rate of employee turnover. As per the above discussion motivation is also important for reducing employee turnover in a hospitality firm (Dörnyei and Ushioda, 2013). Help to decline absenteeism in an organization: Chambers, Taylor and Potenza, 2014 has concluded that “rate of absenteeism is high because of many reasons” (Chambers, Taylor and Potenza, 2014). These are poor work condition, ineffective relations with colleagues and inappropriate rewards and others.

Buy Assignment from well known company Instant Assignment Help Australia


changes in their normal routine (Lee and Morrison, 2010). But, as per the demand of time making some changes at workplace is very essential. So, motivation is one of the important tools for preparing employees for accepting all changes. Motivated employees take these changes in positive manner and improve their performance. Therefore, motivation is also important for reducing the resistance to change (Mullins, 2010). Increase productivity: McAuley, Duberley and Johnson, 2007 has stated that “Motivation is very essential for completing each role and responsibility in effective manner” (McAuley, Duberley and Johnson, 2007). As per this statement, motivation helps in increasing the self-responsibility among employees of the firm which increases utilization of human resources of the firm. It helps in augmenting overall performance and productivity of the company. Therefore, motivation helps in increasing financial performance and profitability of the firm (Krishnaswamy, Sivakumar and Mathirajan, 2009). Increase employee satisfaction: Job satisfaction is very important for organizational effectiveness. Motivation helps in developing morality and satisfying them. There are different financial and non-financial techniques for motivating them which increases satisfaction among employees (Buchanan and Huczynski, 2010). Therefore, motivation is very important for employee motivation. Reduce disputes and strike at workplace: Motivation is an important tool for maintaining coordination among management and workers. It reduces misunderstanding and disputes which leads reduction in conflicts at workplace (Elliot and Dweck, 2013). Palmer and Hartley, 2008 has concluded that “Low disputes helps in maintaining smooth flow of operation which helps in reducing strikes at workplace” (Palmer and Hartley, 2008). Overall,

Buy Assignment from well known company Instant Assignment Help Australia


motivation is important for minimizing conflicts and strikes at workplace (Motivational Techniques, 2015). Help in achieving organization goals: Mahmood and Hanafi, 2013 has concluded

that

“Motivation

improves

coordination,

performance

and

productivity of the firm” (Mahmood and Hanafi, 2013). All these results of motivation play important role in achieving organizational goals in effective manner. Overall, motivation is very important element of hospitality organization because it helps in increasing productive use of resources and augments efficiency and outcomes of the company. As per the above discussion, it also plays significant role in attaining goals and objectives of the firm and developing strong relationship among them (Whiteley and Whiteley, 2006). Further, it maintains stability in workforce which leads reduction in employee turnover and increment in employee retention. Motivational techniques THIS IS PART OF LITERATURE REVIEW: Chambers, Taylor and Potenza, 2014 has asserted that “hospitality organization needs to understand needs and requirements of employees and use appropriate ways for motivating them in effective manner” (Chambers, Taylor and Potenza, 2014). There are different techniques of motivation which helps in reducing negative factors of motivation and increase positive factors. These techniques include non-financial rewards, team building activities, training and development session, high communication, targets, rewards and incentives, etc (Krishnaswamy, Sivakumar and Mathirajan, 2009). Team-building activities: There are different team building activities which help in developing strong relationship among them. It helps in maintaining healthy competition at workplace. Strong team association among employees

Along with this, training program helps in fulfilling roles and responsibilities in appropriate manner. Overall, it is one of the important methods for increasing ability and capability of employees

(Bhattacharyya, 2009). Enhanced communication: Communication among top and lower level employee is very essential. It helps in increasing willingness to work and performance of personnel. So, management of the firm needs to develop strong communication at workplace (Muondo and Perkins, 2013). Manager needs to communicate their roles and responsibilities in effective manner. It increases performance of them and motivate them in effective manner. Targets, rewards and incentives: As per the motivational theory of needs each employee has different needs and requirements. Each employee require appropriate finance for satisfying these needs (Kalivas and Volkow, 2014). Management of the company can motivate employees

Non-financial rewards: Hill and Hernández-Requejo, 2011 has concluded that “there are different nonfinancial methods by which a manager can encourage performance of employees” (Hill and Hernández-Requejo, 2011). These include appreciation of works and effective working environment, flexible timing, etc. Along with this, effective communication and allocating roles and responsibilities are also known as nonfinancial methods for motivating employees (Siewiorek and et.al, 2012). Effective working environment: It is also one of the important techniques for motivating employees. Botha Kourie and Snyman, 2014 has asserted that “effective working environment includes appropriate facilities of sitting and working, cleanliness and arrangement of required instruments” (Botha Kourie and Snyman, 2014). All these facilities help in maintaining effective working environment which encourage employees to give best performance. Flexible time hours: Wild, Wild and Han, 2014 has stated that “Most of the employees in hospitality organizations leaving their jobs to the strict and inappropriate working hours” (Wild, Wild and Han, 2014). So, flexible timing policy helps in motivating employees for working in those hours which are favorable and comfortable for them. It is one of the best techniques for reducing the rate of female employee turnover. So, hospitality organization can implement flexible timing policy for increasing motivation. Therefore, above discussed techniques help in motivating employees at workplace which help in increasing motivation among employees of hospitality organizations (Buchanan and Huczynski, 2010).

Discussion As per the review of literature, motivation among employees is very important for attaining goals and objectives of the organization. Lack of motivation can affect performance and productivity of the firm which can decline the future growth of the company. Including this, low level of motivation in employees increase job dissatisfaction that augments the high employee turnover in organization (Mahmood and Hanafi, 2013). Therefore, different hospitality organization needs to increase level of motivation among employees for increasing rate of employee retention. Including this, review of historical studies has also reflected that there are different motivational theories which help organizational mangers to determine needs and requirements of employees. Along with this, theories also plays important role in using suitable methods and techniques for increasing motivation of staff members. According to literature, motivation is more important for improving level of performance, changing negative attitudes of employee, reducing employee turnover and declining absenteeism in an organization (Bass and Riggio, 2008). Further, motivation is also important for managing changes, increasing productivity and satisfaction, reducing disputes and strike and attaining organization goals. In addition, another section of literature has provided insights about the different motivational techniques for hospitality firms. These methods help in selecting appropriate methods of motivation for motivating employees of D&D (Charantimath, 2005). As per the historical research motivational methods are Team-building activities, Training and development session, Targets, rewards and incentives Non-financial rewards, Effective working environment and Flexible time hours. Therefore, literature review has helped in understanding the research problem and different relevant subjects for resolving this problem in effective manner (Hayes and Ninemeier, 2007).

Findings of literature review have reflected that Motivation is one of the important element which can influence the employee turnover of an organization in positive as well as negative manner. There are different motivational theories such as Maslow’s theory of motivation, Two factor theory and Theory X and theory Y by which an organization can identify the needs and requirements of employees and can develop appropriate strategies for motivating them. Including this, Literature review has also helped in analyzing importance of motivation in hospitality organization. It helps in improving performance of employees as well as in reducing negative attitudes of employees.

the current investigation research design will be a blueprint for collecting, measuring and examining data. After understanding research problem author will use descriptive research design for current investigation. It will be used by researcher because it will help in conducting investigation in theoretical and subjective manner. Along with this, descriptive research design will include case study, observation and survey analysis for collecting information on employee motivation and turnover. It will be useful for conducting qualitative as well as quantitative research.

Descriptive research design will play important role in

understanding all motivational theories in appropriate manner (Goddard and Melville, 2004). Research technique Each and every research needs to follow appropriate techniques for conducting whole investigation in effective manner. It can be defined as a tactics of investigation which will helps in understanding the research subject in qualitative as well as quantitative aspect. There are two types of research techniques qualitative and quantitative (Garland and Garland, 2012). The current research report will use combined research technique of qualitative and quantitative. Qualitative research technique will be used by researcher because it will be useful for understanding different motivational theories. On the other hand, quantitative research tool will be helpful for determining impact of motivational techniques on employee turnover of D&D. So, it will be used by researcher for whole investigation (Dey, 2002). Qualitative research technique helps in understanding research problem in subjective aspect. In contrast, quantitative research technique will provide assistance in resolving research problem using different tools and methods in effective manner. Different subject data will be easily obtained by qualitative techniques. Moreover, qualitative methods will provide assistance in collecting

Buy Assignment from well known company Instant Assignment Help Australia


numerical facts and figures on employee motivation and turnover of D&D. Therefore, combined research techniques will be effective for attaining research objectives and resolving research problem (Bhattacharyya, 2009). Data collection methods Data collection methods can be defined as different techniques which help in collecting appropriate information as per the research subject, objective and research question. Primary and secondary data collection methods are mostly used by all researchers for their studies. For the current investigation author will use both primary and secondary data collection methods (Daniel and Sam, 2011). In which, primary data collection methods helps in collecting fresh and new information about research subject. These methods will be effective for collecting new information about the employee motivation and turnover of D&D. Primary information will be collected by employees of D&D using online survey methodology. Author will use a structured questionnaire for conducting primary research on current subject. Therefore, primary data collection methods are very effective for obtaining most useful and fresh information of selected organization (Elliot and Dweck, 2013). Secondary data collection methods can be defined as those techniques which collect relevant information from past or historical studies of similar subjects. Author will collect secondary information from different sources such as library, website and journals. Literature review is also one of the important sources of secondary information which will help in collecting information about different motivational theories and their impact on individual as well as organizational performance (Pinder, 2014). Therefore, both data collection methods are useful for collecting subjective as well as numerical information which will provide suitable insights. Along with this, collected data also help in getting appropriate solution of research problem.

Sampling Above discussion has reflected that author will use primary data collection method for obtaining fresh and new information. This information will be collected by employees of D&D. So, employee of this organization will play the role of research universe. There are different methods by which investigator can select sample for whole investigation which are called sampling techniques. Author will apply random number sampling method for deciding sample of employees of D&D. In this method researcher will use random number table for selecting each employee. It reduces chances of the sampling error as well as provides equal chance to each employee to select in research sample. Therefore, author will use most appropriate sampling method for deciding sample for this investigation. Sample size for current study will be the census that can be defined as unlike a sample, which only takes a population and seeks to analyze every single member of a population. Therefore, sample of staff will helps in collecting primary and fresh information about the motivational strategies of D&D organization and impacts on these tactics on employee performance (Garland and Garland, 2012). Data analysis Research techniques will be used by researcher for collecting facts and figures on employee motivation and turnover of D&D (Dey, 2002). So, using these methods author will collect numerical and subjective information. So, for analyzing this information author will use thematic and statistical analysis. Thematic analysis will provide assistance in examining subjective information about motivational theories and employee turnover. It will be applied by researcher because it is more effective for analyzing subjective and theoretical concept of the current subject. Thematic analysis includes different charts, graphs, themes and diagram for resolving research issue (Goddard and Melville, 2004).

On the other hand, statistical analysis method will be helpful for testing hypothesis using appropriate test. These methods helps in analyzing numerical information which will provide assistance in getting appropriate solution of research problem and making suitable conclusion on it. Therefore, data analysis method will be appropriate for getting appropriate findings and results by which author can easily determine the major impact on employee motivational techniques on personnel turnover of D&D (Kumar, 2014). Ethical issues and consideration Researcher needs to complete whole investigation in ethical manner and regarding this author needs to consider appropriate deliberations which play important role in resolving ethical issues in effective manner. As per the above discussion, major ethical issues are relevant to the data collection process. Author will collect primary information from different respondents so, safety and security of every participant is very important. So, for resolving this ethical issue author will not use any personal information of any employee of D&D. Along with this, researcher will assure about the use of only necessary data which will help in attaining objective of the investigation. Along with this, research ethics includes different other ethical issues relevant to secondary data collection method and these are plagiarism, copy and paste and manipulation of data, etc (Flick, 2011). So, for resolving these issues author will use appropriate references and citation of historical research scholars or secondary data instruments. Therefore, research will follow appropriate considerations for resolving research issues in effective manner. Research limitations Accomplishment of the investigation is not an easy task for researcher so, the current study is also associated with some limitations (Daniel and Sam, 2011). These limitations are relevant to time and cost of the whole investigation.

Researcher of the current study does not have appropriate time and experience for conducting such types of investigation. Along with this, data collection process has taken lots of time. These types of limitations can affect the research findings and results but author has used appropriate time planning for managing time in different activities of research. It helps in reducing the unnecessary time in various tasks. High cost of survey methodology and lack of research budget are also considered as major limitations of the current investigation. Author has used Activity Based Costing method for developing budget for the whole investigation. It has applied by researcher because it helps in allocating resources on each and every activity as per their requirements. Along with this, it is also beneficial for reducing the unnecessary wastage of financial resources in different tasks of research so, author has developed research budget using activity based costing method. It has helped in managing all financial resources in effective manner (Whiteley and Whiteley, 2006). Including this, author does not have experience of conducting investigation but author has collected appropriate theoretical knowledge of different research methods. This knowledge has helped in managing all research limitations in effective manner (Sobh and Perry, 2006).
