Abstract

Motivation is a factor that always remained as black box. It is a principal constituent of the black energy that operates through the performance of the employee. This paper deals with the extrinsic motivation of the employee and is a thorough investigation on the nature of the relationships between Employee Motivation and Human Resource Management (HRM), Work Place Support (WPS) and Work Place Undermining (WPU). This study is based on primary data of 305 permanent employees of different organisations and institutions operating at Rajshahi City Corporation (a divisional city) of Bangladesh. The causal relations among the variables were tested by structural equation model while the measurement model was tested via confirmatory factor analysis. Result indicates that, despite controlling age and educational level, WPS and WPU are found significantly associated with Employee Motivation at 5 percent level of significance, while HRM is found insignificant to influence Employee Motivation. In the study WPS is found to have positive impact on Employee Motivation, while WPU has negative. Squared factor loadings indicate that WPS, WPU and HRM account for about 34 percent 3 percent and 1 percent of the variance in employee motivation respectively. All these results imply that WPS and WPU are dominant over HRM to influence Employee Motivation. Having established structured HRM operation, organizations should emphasize more to improve WPS and should strive to stave off WPU for further enhancement of Employee Motivation.
