Motivation, Productivity Growth, and Business Financial Performance – A Scoping Review Approach to Linkages and Impact
Abstract:
The objectives of this research were to understand the nature of the relationship between three concepts namely, motivation, productivity, and financial performance. To answer the research questions posed, the researcher followed a scoping literature review approach to arrive at only 8 studies which are relevant to this present research. The results from this present research are that (1) the nature of the relationship between motivation, productivity and financial performance is positive. (2), the extent of the impact may not be that great as one study shows that without the inclusion of capital intensity, motivation has no relationship with productivity and financial performance. This research contributed to existing body of knowledge by identifying the nature of the relationship between motivation, productivity and financial performance which has received little attention from researchers.
