Résumé :

Since motivation influences productivity, managers need to understand what motivates employees to reach peak performance and they need to provide the right organizational climate to ensure that their employees can see that by working towards the organizational goals they are also achieving some of their own goals. These goals could be such things as financial rewards or personal rewards such as the respect of their colleagues or job satisfaction or a combination of any number of things that the employee considers to be important. It is no good giving someone a pay rise if they are dissatisfied with the job and they do not see money as a very important factor in their working life.

It is not an easy task to increase employee motivation because employees respond in different ways to their jobs and their organization's practices. Motivation is "driving force within individuals" (Mullins, 2002), thus the manager (motivator) should influence factors that motivate employees to gain higher levels of productivity. Thanks to motivational theories and studies, we understood that people are not only lead by money and financial incentives but also by non-financial incentives like the recognition they can have from their work.

So, in this report, we will try to evaluate the role played by salary and by non-financial incentives in promoting motivation in middle managers.
For that, we will, first, expose the fundamentals theories of motivation developed by Taylor, Maslow, Aldefer, Herzberg, Murray, Ronen and their limits. Then, we will develop the different strategies a company can make to motivate its employees, through the distinction between extrinsic and intrinsic motivation.
