A Comparative Study on Motivation Level of Employees in Government and Private Hospitals

At one time, employees were considered just another input into the production of goods and services. What perhaps changed this way of thinking about employees was research, referred to as the Hawthorne Studies, conducted by Elton Mayo from 1924 to 1932. This study found employees are not motivated solely by money and employee behavior is linked to their attitudes. The Hawthorne Studies began the human relations approach to management, whereby the needs and motivation of employees become the primary focus of managers. Motivation is known to be a predictive variable which influences employee job satisfaction. The study is to be done within the purview of certain variable which will clearly underline the factors which motivate the employees of various sectors and would help in comparative analysis of the level of motivation & the corresponding factors involved in it.
