From the Paper:

"Human Resource Management (HRM) functions have been in an increasingly rapid evolutionary state since the early 1980s with the rise of the global economic model and globalization in general. Motivational issues cover the spectrum of organizations from the private to the public sector and each sector, in its own fashion, relies on better motivated workforces to achieve success. HRM researchers have alluded to the fact that HRM structures must be aligned with organizational strategies for global competitiveness to be achieved and increasingly this strategy demands a focus on employee motivation (Hall & Torrington 88). This realization for corporate enterprises and organizations that employee motivation was the new competitive differentiator began during the 1980s."
