Abstract :

The study investigates motivation techniques that enhance employee performance and identifies the challenges hindering performance management and employee motivation. The objectives are to explore established motivation theories and empirical findings, evaluate practical applications, and provide actionable recommendations for public and private organisations. Guided by theories such as Ryan and Deci's Self-Determination Theory and Locke and Latham's Goal Setting Theory, this research examines the impact of goal setting, continuous feedback, recognition programmes, and professional development opportunities on employee motivation and performance. Academic journals, industry reports, and organizational case studies revealed that clear goal alignment, regular constructive feedback, comprehensive recognition programmes, and ample development opportunities significantly enhance employee performance. The study concludes that addressing these challenges through structured goal setting, implementing continuous feedback mechanisms, ensuring fair performance evaluations, managing workloads, and engaging employees in change processes can significantly improve employee motivation. Organizations can foster a motivating work environment that supports sustained high performance and employee satisfaction by putting various positive measures in place. Key words: Performance management, Employee, Motivation techniques, Organisation
