Motivational Factors of Employees of Medical Plastic Corporation

Abstract

This study determines the factors that motivate the employees of Medical Plastic Corporation. Specifically it determines the levels of motivation of the workers to perform and the degree of influence that the motivational factors provide in the level of satisfaction of the workers. Utilizing responses from survey questionnaires answered by 6 middle management and 30 rank and file employees, a univariate analysis of central tendency and dispersion is performed. Result shows that motivational factors such as Achievement (mean score 8.454), Possibility of growth (mean score8.153), Company policies and Administration (mean score 7.964), Recognition (mean score 7.92), and Security (mean score 7.42) highly motivate the employees. Furthermore, Achievement, Recognition, and Possibility of growth elicit high satisfaction among rank and file employees, while middle management employee found high satisfaction on all motivators excluding Advancement. On the other hand, Company policies and administration, Supervision and Security elicit high dissatisfaction for rank and file employees when not significantly offered; as only inadequate Company policies and Administration for middle management employees, will bring out high dissatisfaction. These findings suggest that factors that determine high motivation and satisfaction should be reinforced in the workers environment to empower workers and achieve high performance.
