Motivation in an organization set the tone of the organizational goals. Whether the organization is for profit or non-profit, motivations play an important role for company productivity. Therefore motivation is key in personal life as well as the career world. Motivation in the work place is highly dependent on employers being able to understand the needs and wants of their employees. When employers can understand and satisfy an employee’s needs, the employee is more attention to perform well in his position. “The factors to motivate the employee: (a) interesting work, (b) good wages, (c) full appreciation of work done, (d) job security, (e) good working conditions, (f) promotions and growth in the organization, (g) feeling of being in on things, (h) personal loyalty to employees, (i) tactful discipline, and (j) sympathetic help with personal problems. In order to achieve all or some of these key motivating factors in the work place, an employee generally will want interesting work, good wages, and recognition from superiors.
Interesting work is most important for the employees. When an employee finds his or her work more interesting, the employee wants to be more involved and therefore increases employee productivity. When the productivity increases, this generates higher earnings for the employer. When there are higher earnings for the employer, he can then pass it back to the employees.
Another important for motivating factor, and the most obvious, is wages. This includes, but it not limited to salary, benefits, bonuses and stock options. Supervisor motivate employees with these to make them want to come to work everyday and perform their job well. People want to feel self worth and feel like they are needed.
Moreover good communication between supervisors and the employees is a key factor. In order to be an effective supervisor in the work force today, one must have a very good understanding of the various ways in which people interact and communicate with one another.

Therefore men are often more direct and to the point. These two contrasting attributes are a fertile breeding ground for misunderstandings of all sorts.

On the one hand, the personal talk brings down some barriers and lets each one get to know the other so everyone is comfortable. This works in their favor in situations where they are meeting a group or individual for the first time. But on the other hand, after they become acquainted, women have trouble separating their personal feelings and allowing them to enter into their business talk as well as their daily business activities.
Every business consists of a variety of communication activities such as listening, speaking, questioning, gathering and participating in small work groups.
