Employee performance is influenced by various factors, such as motivation, competence, environment, and technology. Motivation is one of the most important factors in supporting employee productivity, without motivation, an employee will lose enthusiasm for work. A company leader in increasing employee motivation must use appropriate methods by the situation of the company and employees. because every employee has different behaviors and actions at work so the provision of motivation must be different as well. Highly motivated individuals mean that these individuals have strong reasons for achieving the expected performance. Conversely, individuals with low motivation certainly cannot contribute optimally to their performance.

Methods/Approach: The paper is based on research that includes a survey in an IT startup where 40 respondents' data was collected. The researcher employed spearman's rank correlation coefficient, mean, percentages to verify differences in the five key motivators in the workplace. Results &Conclusions: Factors affecting Motivation changes as the number of the years of employability within the organization increases. Using this key information, managers and employers can apply important MOS (Measures of Success) which will enhance the motivation level of the employees and also result in higher productivity.

Orientation: The continuous growth of employee attrition, especially within the highly skilled talent pool, is becoming increasingly problematic. Therefore, one should continually explore the different factors that impact employee retention and performance. This casts the attention to the person–environment fit and workplace flourishing (WF).

Research purpose: This study explored relationships among person–environment fit, WF, intention to leave (ITL), in-role performance and organisational citizenship behaviour.

Motivation for the study: Disease-driven research heavily outweighs health promotion
research. Therefore, more research is needed regarding positive employee behaviours such as strengths, optimal functioning and flourishing.

Research approach/design and method: A cross-sectional survey design was used with 258 secondary school teachers from two Gauteng districts. The Perceived Fit, Flourishing-at-Work, Turnover Intention, In-Role Behaviour and Organisational Citizenship Behaviour scales were administered. Structural equation modelling and mediational analyses were performed.

Main findings: Results confirmed WF’s three-factor structure. Person–environment fit
positively associated with WF. Workplace flourishing negatively related to ITL, while positively relating to in-role performance and organisational citizenship behaviour. Person–environment fit indirectly affected in-role performance and organisational citizenship behaviour via WF.

Practical/managerial implications: Organisations should continually modify their
strategic frameworks to maintain a healthy balance between individual and environmental characteristics. This will lay the foundation for a favourable work environment. When such an environment is institutionalised, talent retention and performance should follow.

Contribution/value-add: The study results should provide new insight into the relationship between the person–environment fit and WF, as well as the effect it may have on ITL and performance.

This thesis examines how organisations can use passion to produce excellence. In order to put forth valid recommendations the thesis first suggests organisational theories and contemporary theories on passion to acknowledge a broader and more encompassing idea of what passion in the workplace is. In the thesis it is suggested to leave behind the instrumental discourse on employee passion, and leave behind the idea that passion is solely comprised by positive emotions of benefit to the organisations. Instead, a discourse of passion as an energy encapsulating both negative and positive emotions is suggested. It is also suggested that the passion of an employee has no immediate connection to the workplace, but is rather hinged upon a love for a specific craft – a love understood in the philosophical term of being the feeling of unity with the loved object.
With this discourse the thesis precedes to suggest three major themes that enable organisations to include organisational outputs into the passions of the employees. Firstly, it is suggested that organisations induce a profound sense of love between the employees and the organisational outputs. Secondly, it is suggested that organisations help employees develop in order to create a feeling of getting closer to complete mastery, and hence unity, with their craft. Thirdly, the thesis suggests organisations to nurse a culture, which has large notions of trust and acceptance of nerdery (as defined later) and emotional engagement, as this would make the organisation be the place where immersion into the craft is culturally acceptable and not abnormal. With these ideas, the employees are expected to engage into persistent deliberate practise, which in turn would create organisational excellence.

The topic regarding the effect of dress code on job performance and productivity is still very
volatile. Even in a blue-collar state of affairs, when dress is allowed to be more casual, the level

same with business smart doesn’t necessitate soaring productivity Therefore, Managers across
sections of business society should look more at professionalism, performance, and productivity
as personal attributes that really matter in the workplace. In that an employee should be able to
come off as a professional without having to dress like one.

ABSTRACT Each employee’s performance is important in an organization. A way to motivate it is through the application of reinforcement theory which is developed by B. F. Skinner. One of the most commonly used methods is positive reinforcement in which one’s behavior is strengthened or increased based on consequences. This paper aims to review the impact of positive reinforcement on the performances of employees in organizations. It can be applied by utilizing extrinsic reward or intrinsic reward. Extrinsic rewards include salary, bonus and fringe benefit while intrinsic rewards are praise, encouragement and empowerment. By applying positive reinforcement in these factors, desired positive behaviors are encouraged and negative behaviors are eliminated. Financial and non-financial incentives have a positive relationship with the efficiency and effectiveness of staffs.
