“…In an agency theory context, incentive contracts designed to encourage extrinsic motivation are held to be indispensable (Osterloh et al, 2002). Similarly, expectancy theory argues that linking incentives to performance motivates employees to increase their effort and performances (Jenkins, Mitra, Gupta & Shaw, 1998;Lawler, 1973;Vroom, 1964) which support the qualitative findings that much emphasis was stressed on the extrinsic factors that impact on motivation leading to performance.…”

“…When an activity is intrinsically appealing (say, challenging), the positive effects can be undermined if extrinsic rewards are also linked to the activity (Osterloh et al, 2002) and crowd out intrinsic motivation (Lee & Whitford, 2007). This crowding out has been further elaborated under the cognitive evaluation theory, which proposes that extrinsic motivation can erode intrinsic motivation (Kunz & Pfaff, 2002).…”

Abstract:Purpose: The paper empirically compares employee motivation and its impact on performance in Ghanaian Mining Companies, where in measuring performance, the job satisfaction model is used.Design/methodology/approach: The study employed exploratory research design in gathering data from four large-scale Gold mining companies in Ghana with regards to their policies and structures in the effectiveness of motivational tools and strategies used by these companies. Findings:The study observed that, due to the risk factors associated with the mining industry, management has to ensure that employees are well motivated to curb the rate at which employees embark on industrial unrest which affect performance, and employees are to comply with health and safety rules because the industry contribute hugely to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the country. Research limitations/implications:Limitation to the present study include the researcher's inability to contact other mining companies. However, the study suggests possibilities for future research including contacting other mining companies, expanding the sample size, managers ensuring that the safety and health needs of staff are addressed particularly those exposed to toxic and harmful chemicals.-255-Journal of Industrial Engineering and Management -http://dx.doi.org/10.3926/jiem.1530 Originality/value: A lot of studies have been done on mining companies in the past. This paper fills a gap perceived that employees in this sector are highly motivated in spite of the challenges being faced by them, and knowing more about what keeps employees moving is still of national interest.

The influence of managerial satisfaction on corporate environmental performance and reputation

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Organisational studies have widely debated the relation between job satisfaction and job performance. Some papers have dealt with managerial satisfaction and businesses performance adopting agency theory to interpret the results. However, no studies have yet considered the relation between the satisfaction levels of an environmental manager and corporate environmental performance. This paper thus analyses the role played by the environmental manager's satisfaction in enhancing corporate environmental performance and reputation. The paper uses data from a survey of 412 EMAS registered organisation. The results show a positive relation between managerial satisfaction and environmental performance, whereas no such positive relation was found considering eco-innovation performance. In addition, the environmental manager's satisfaction has a positive and indirect influence on the corporate environmental reputation. These results contribute to the literature on agency theory and aim to extend the debate between job satisfaction and job performance to the sustainable business field.
