Assalaminualaikum. Today's post will be the last post for this semester, I guess. This is because this individual assignment of updating blog must be submitted to Miss Ummi by 8th December.This week, I did not attend to Miss Ummi lectures due to fever. I wasn't feeling well that I need to skip this week's lecture and take a rest in the hostel. My friend did mention that Miss Ummi taught two chapters this week. It is my lost that I cannot attend and listen to this week's lecture. Lately it's been raining and we need to take good care of our health before we catch any cold. However, Alhamdulillah I'm feeling better. This week, no face to face tutorial is conducted. My group members decided to go to Mdm Huda's room and consulted her about our assignment. She gave us a brief explanation. It is our mistake that we start doing our assignment late. However, we will try our best in writing a good report for the assignment. Last but not least, we had to participate online forum in GOALS. Mdm Huda posted this question to us, " What do you think about motivation and rewards? " My response to this question is:
Asslamualaikum to everyone. I think that today’s topic is quite interesting. Before I give my opinion on motivation and rewards, I would like to give the definitions of these two first. Motivation is defined as an act of motivating, giving support and inspiration to boost one’s behavior. On the other hand, rewards means as receiving a return or recompense for service, merit, hardship, etc.
In an organization, it is important to have motivations and rewards. Motivations given by employer can make the employees work harder in the organization. They have someone to support them in accomplishing the task. Employer needs to give regular feedback and use positive words to commend them for doing their jobs well and provide constructive feedback for performance issues. Apart from that, motivating employees also can improve employee retention, which reduces an organization's cost to replace workers due to turnover. It is also a way of showing confidence that the employees can perform challenging tasks. Employees who realize their opinions matter generally are happier and more satisfied employees. These, in turn, make employees take pride in the quality of their work.
On the other hand, rewards given by employer show that the employer appreciate the employees’ hard work. They deserve a return for it. Rewards must not be necessarily be tangible like giving presents, increment in salary, treating to dinners and etc. It can be simply a normal praise like “Good job” or “well done”. This can boost the employees mood to accomplish their task. Apart from that, employees who are promoted will be more motivated to work in the organization.
Therefore, motivation and reward are related to each other in which it will create a positive environment and encourage employees to meet organization goals and objectives.
I guess that's about it for today's post. Alhamdulillah, I have managed to update my blog for each lecture and tutorial. I hope that my individual assignment meets the criteria of getting good score. Thanks for reading and I hope all of you have benefited from this blog, insyaAllah. :)
