Intrinsic Motivators in the Indian Manufacturing
Sector: An Empirical Study
-- Durga Das Mundhra and Wallace Jacob
A company needs employees working towards its goals for its success. Employees should also have
a desire to remain in the company. Such commitment comes from motivation. Motivation has a direct
effect on performance. Motivation is of two types— intrinsic and extrinsic. Intrinsic motivation comes from
within and is self-satisfying. External motivators like monetary and nonmonetary rewards cause
extrinsic motivation. We used a questionnaire-based survey to examine the intrinsic motivational state of
the employees working in companies from the manufacturing sector (both private and public) in India.
The respondents of the survey include males and females, married as well as unmarried, in the age group
of 20 to 62 years, with varying qualifications. Three intrinsic motivators: perceived competence,
perceived autonomy and perceived relatedness were chosen for the study. There are two dimensions of
employee performance at the workplace—in role and extra role. In the study, in-role performance has been
taken as a measure of overall motivation of employees. Descriptive statistics as well as regression analysis
were used to find the effects of intrinsic motivators on the performance of the employees. Our study
suggests a strong link between intrinsic motivators and the performance of employees.

Organizational Climate and Service Orientation in
Select Schools
-- Meena Dorathi
The impact of organizational climate on school employees and the students is not completely
understood. Earlier studies focused on teachers' responses on climate and school effectiveness scales. However,
the influence of Organizational Climate (OC) on Service Orientation (SO) of the employees in schools has
not been explored explicitly. This study attempts to explore the relationship between these two
constructs—organizational climate and service orientation. It is more important in schools than in other
organizations, since the pupils' lives are built and transformed here. The sample of this study comprises 240
teachers representing two types of schools, namely, private and government, on whom the questionnaire
was administered to elicit their responses to OC and SO in their current jobs. The results revealed that
the OC and SO are relatively better in private schools as compared to government schools. Further, there
exists a positive and statistically significant correlation between OC and SO.

Training Need and Gap Analysis with Regard to NGOs
in Mangalore
-- G Bharathi Kamath
Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) operate in almost all cities of India and in their own way
perform a variety of services to the society. The employees of these organizations are generally
nonprofessionals and belong to various socioeconomic and educational backgrounds. To improve the functioning of
these NGOs, so that they perform to the optimum levels, employee training becomes an important issue.
This study is an attempt to assess the extent of training taking place for the employees of NGOs in
Mangalore and also to analyze their training needs. The study discovered that the extent of training of
employees in these NGOs is at a primitive stage and they require to be trained mainly in the areas of
community participation and involvement, and also in the area of usage of technology.
