Abstract

The objective of this study was to investigate the significant part that motivation plays in determining the level of productivity that was achieved by workers. The work culture of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Malaysia, which is distinguished by its one-of-a-kind work culture, is the subject of emphasis in this particular research. Both intrinsic and extrinsic motivating factors have the potential to have a significant impact on the performance of staff members and the overall output of the business. NGOs, which are frequently driven by humanitarian missions rather than profit, produce a one-of-a-kind organizational environment in which both of these types of motivating factors have the potential to significantly influence the performance of staff members. For the purpose of conducting research into the connection between various motivational strategies, such as recognition, purpose-driven work, professional development, and financial incentives, and employee engagement, satisfaction, and efficiency, the objective of this study is to investigate the interaction between these various management strategies. This study's objective is to gather information by means of completing an analysis of qualitative and quantitative data that was collected from a variety of NGOs in Malaysia. The findings highlight important motivating characteristics that contribute to improved performance and provide tactics that are culturally acceptable for leaders of NGOs who want to develop a workforce that is more engaged and productive. This study not only makes a contribution to the expanding body of information concerning human resource practices in the field of non-profit organizations, but it also provides insights that can be utilized in order to improve the efficiency of organizations that are operating within the framework of Malaysia to achieve their goals.
