Motivating Temporary Employees

Abstract

In today's high-pressure environment, motivating all employees to consistently contribute their best can mean the difference between success and failure. Employees are motivated by both intrinsic and extrinsic rewards. Studies have found that money is not the most important motivator for employees. In fact, in some cases money was found to be a de-motivating factor. That is the reason managers are discovering that they must work in partnership with their employees, providing them with the tools they need for success by first determining exactly what tools they need and then working towards getting them the tools to be successful.

The purpose of this research is to clearly identify an effective strategy to use in the retention of the temporary work force or motivating them to continue working for Houston Air Handler & Furnace Factory and thereby keep the factory employees motivated to give their 100% effort 110% of the time. This will help Houston Air Handler & Furnace Factory achieve tremendous progress in their goals and expectations.
