The Role Of The Manager
The manager’s role is vital. The role of the manager is becoming more important than ever, whether they are in the same office or thousands of miles away.
This was highlighted by research by the Gallup organization which looked at how great managers find, focus and keep talented employees. It identified the 12 most powerful questions that measure the core elements needed to attract, focus and keep the most talented employees. Significantly these questions also correlated with the most successful organizations in terms of business unit performance.
These questions put great emphasis on the importance of the quality of the conversation between the manager and team members, especially considering that the Gallup research showed that “great managers spent on average only one hour per quarter per person discussing performance”.
More and more responsibility is being passed down to line managers. Their role is vital. Evidence clearly shows that the real impact of performance management systems lies more in the way they are delivered than designed. We can define qualitatively or not the manager if we shall set to the employee some mentioned questions about work below:
1. Do I know what is expected of me at work?
2. Do I have the materials and equipment I need to do my work right?
3. At work do I have the opportunity to do what I do best every day?
4. In the last seven days, have I received recognition or praise for good work?
5. Does my supervisor or someone at work seem to care about me as a person?
6. Is there someone at work who encourages my development?
7. At work do my opinions seem to count?
8. Does the mission/purpose of my company make me feel that my work is important?
9. Are my co-workers committed to doing quality work?
10. Do I have a best friend at work?
11. In the last six months have I talked with someone about my progress?
12. At work have I had opportunities to learn and grow?
If the employee will answer the majority of these questions positively, we can tell the manager works in a correct direction.

What Is Motivation?
In simple terms, motivation may be defined as the reason/s for exhibiting a particular kind of behavior, especially human behavior as dealt with in psychology and neuropsychology. The reasons are manifold ranging from basic needs like food, any desired object or a particular goal, an ideal or state of being to less-apparent ones like altruism or morality.
Green defined motivation as the initiation, direction, intensity and persistence of human behavior. Motivation has also been defined in psychology textbooks as internal state or condition that activates behavior and gives it direction; desire or want that energizes and directs goal-oriented behavior and influence of needs and desires on the intensity and direction of behavior. From all these definitions it can be concluded that motivation is basically an internal state of our mind (a need or desire or want) that sets in motion and channelizes our behavioral pattern.
In 1994, Franken added an interesting element to the definition of motivation: the arousal, direction, and persistence of behavior.
Reward as agent for motivating people?
Research has shown that the effect of the reward is directly proportional to it duration – the sooner a person receives the award, the greater will be the effect which gradually diminishes with the increase of time span between the action and the reward. The recurrence of this process of action-reward combination helps to transformthe action into a habit.
The rewards can either be extrinsic such as compliments or money as well as intrinsic like satisfaction or accomplishment.
Intrinsic motivation has often been divided into two groups by some authors – one based enjoyment and the other on obligation. The later implies to a kind of motivation that is based on what one thinks should be done. For example, one may work for a mission simply guided by his sense of responsibility without the help of external factors like reward or a sense of fun and enjoyment.
