The research aims to define and understand the role of motivation on employee performance. To determine the motivation’s root cause in employee’s efficiency various theories of motivations are studied and their correlation with employee performance is detailed. The findings justified the influence on employee psychology and its high influence on employee work efficiency and effectiveness. The research will prove beneficial for researchers to understand the concept of motivation in organizational behavior.
