Description:
This paper presents the hypothesis that organizations fail to recognize the impact that employee motivation has upon retaining the organization's critical employees and because of the failure to understand this impact, organizations often fail to retain critical employees. The paper provides a literature review on motivation theories that demonstrates how motivation of employees involves meeting basic needs and then advancing to the more complex needs of the employee. The paper outlines a study on this issue and presents the findings that are relevant to managers who wish to retain their employees.

From the Paper:
"Past research has clearly demonstrated that motivation of employees determines whether they will remain with their employer or if they will instead seek work with a new employer. Many times critical and key employees leave their employment when that employee would have been satisfied to remain with their previous employer if only some seemingly unimportant issues were addressed. In the present business environment which is characterized by instability and an economic downturn, retaining critical and key employees is of vast important to organizations as maintaining organizational efficiency, stability, and productivity is critically reliant upon these specific key employees of the organization remaining in their positions of employment with the organization. Because of this, it is critically important that today's organizational leaders understand precisely what factors serve to motivate employees."Sample of Sources Used:
