Abstract:

Motivation can be regarded as a process of encouraging people to perform certain actions to achieve their goals. The cognitive factors can be desired for job-satisfaction, recognition, success, money, team work, etc., that encourages a person behavior to motivate. Motivation is very important in the context of management to the organizational performance. The idea of 'motivated' employees with 'happy' employees most often confuses people. External and internal factors that boost energy and desire in people are called motivators. For reaching the goal, motivation is important because it is the psychological catalyst between owners and employees. If motivation is low, most easily reachable and well-defined goals will become difficult to attain. The aims of this study are to examine motivation of employees in construction firms, focusing on large, medium and small sized construction companies. The extrinsic and intrinsic are some kind of forces that could make a person to behave in certain way or to do certain things. It may be concluded that what we do and what makes us to do is the force of motivation.
