It is generally believed that effect of monetary incentives is unambiguously positive, large monetary incentives improve employee job performance and productivity.
Motivation is very important and plays an important role on the performance and productivity of employees for the success of any organization.

So employee’s motivation means the process in which organization inspiring our employee with the shape of rewards, bonus etc for achieving the organizational goal.
The issue of employee performance cannot be overemphasized. The general believes is that employee will not perform to the best of their ability unless they are motivated to do so.
Various researchers have come up with various ways to motivate people at work. However, because human beings are different from one another in terms of needs.
Some employees are motivated financially and some non financially but recent studies have shown that the combination of financial and non financial incentives can motivate employees to perform well on their job.
Motivation is the main factor that affects the human resources of the organization. The organization should be motivating their employees for the best performance or for achieving the organizational goal. Also, motivation will lead to the fact that worker or employee’s efficiency of the organization will seriously do his duties and responsibilities Azar and Shafighi (2013).
