Pizza Hut UK Ltd. Uses Motivation as a Tool for Productivity
“A sailor without a destination cannot hope for a favourable wind.” (Leon Tec)
INTRODUCTION
I have described some important factors to motivate employees in my report. According to Vroom’s theory “the employee effort will lead to performance and performance will lead to rewards” (Vroom, 1964). But some cases reward can be negative. But when it is positive employees more likely to be motivated, and when it is negative less likely employees to be motivated. This case study approach is a very useful research methodology for “raising questions, highlighting issues, developing and testing theory, and providing guidance in solving problems” (Cooper, Morgan 2008, p. 161).
In Short, motivation defined as “an inner drive that reflects goal-oriented arousal” (Arnould et. al., 2004:259).

In my proposal I have applied motivation theories on Pizza Hut human resource.

Target setting and reward is the part of motivation system. It should be bear in mind good motivation system tailors according to the situation and align with company’s objectives.
MOTIVATION IN COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT
Earlier employees assumed to be mere form of inputs. But research changed this thought. From 1924 to 1932, Elton Mayo’s Hawthorne studies showed that “employees not only motivated solely by money and employee behaviour is linked to their attitude”.(Dickson, 1973).
