ABSTRACT
In contemporary business practice, employee motivation relates to the increased potential to achieve the employee performance outcomes and organisational goals that most positively impact the business. High levels of employee motivation correlate with increases in the commitment and productivity of employees, as well as the effort that employees sustain at work. This motivates the business to become more competitive and to sustain its success over longer periods. This study is concerned with motivating employees to achieve business goals that are most positively related to the performance outcomes of employees. For this study, a quantitative cross-sectional research methodology was used to collect primary data related to the performance of employees in the private and public business sector by completing a formal survey. The survey yielded 220 usable responses that were subjected to the statistical analysis techniques offered by the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Descriptive statistics, reliability testing, Pearson correlation index, and simple linear regression were used to analyse the data. The study confirms that high levels of motivation of employees improves the performance of employees in a business. Further, the study confirms that highly motivated employees are more supportive of a business achieving its goals. The study enhances existing literature related to the human resource management of employees in business. From a practice perspective, this study enhances workplace performance and goals of the business through a supportive, fair, and rewarding business leadership practice. This is enhanced through recognizing employees, providing workplace learning opportunities, and improving workplace management that is participative.
