Main Objective
The main objective of this paper is to analyze the impact of employees’ motivation on organizational effectiveness. The sub-objectives of the study are to determine the factors that increase employees motivation and to examine the relationship between employees motivation and organizational effectiveness

Motivation
According to Butkus & Green (1999), motivation is derived from the word “motivate”, means to move, push or influence to proceed for fulfilling a want (Kalimullah et al, 2010). Bartol and Martin (1998) describe motivation as a power that strengthens behavior, gives route to behavior, and triggers the tendency to continue (Farhad et al, 2011). This explanation identifies that in order to attain assured targets; individuals must be satisfactorily energetic and be clear about their destinations. In view of Bedeian, (1993) it is an internal drive to satisfy an unsatisfied need and the will to accomplish. Also motivation is a progression of moving and supporting goal-directed behavior (Chowdhury.M.S, 2007). It is an internal strength that drives individuals to pull off personal and organizational goals (Reena et al, 2009). Motivation is a set of courses concerned with a kid of strength that boosts performance and directs towards accomplishing some definite targets (Kalimullah et al, 2010). Porter and miles (1974) proved that the motivation boosts expresses and continues conduct (Khadim et al).

Employee Motivation
Employee motivation is one of the policies of managers to increase effectual job management amongst employees in organizations (Shadare et al, 2009). A motivated employee is responsive of the definite goals and objectives he/she must achieve, therefore he/she directs its efforts in that direction. Rutherford (1990) reported that motivation formulates an organization more successful because provoked employees are constantly looking for improved practices to do a work, so it is essential for organizations to persuade motivation of their employees (Kalimullah et al, 2010).

Factors affecting Employees’ Motivation
If an organization wants to improve and be successful, trust plays a significant role so it should always be preserved to ensure an organizations existence and to enhance employees’ by Motivation. No one works for free, nor should they. Money is the fundamental inducement; no other incentive or motivational technique comes even close to it with respect to its influential value (Sara et al, 2004). It has the supremacy to magnetize, maintain and motivate individuals towards higher performance. Frederick Taylor and his scientific management associate described money as the most fundamental factor in motivating the industrial workers to attain greater productivity (Adeyinka et al, 2007). To use salaries as a motivator effectively, managers must consider salary structures which should include importance organization attach to each job, payment according to performance, personal or special allowances, fringe benefits, pensions and so on (Adeyinka et al, 2007). Trust is defined as the perception of one about others, decision to act based on speech, behavior and their decision (Hassan et al, 2010). motivation (Annamalai.T, 2010).

Recognition and Employee Motivation
According to Maurer (2001) rewards and recognition are essential factors in enhancing employee job satisfaction and work motivation which is directly associated to organizational achievement (Jun et al., 2006).

Many people will do for recognition what they will not do for money. And, this is the manager’s secret weapon for employee motivation. Some people are motivated by the opportunity to get their name on the wall, receive a trophy at an annual banquet, or see their name in the company newsletter. It gives them an “emotional payoff” for their actions

That is why a study says that deficiency of appropriate recognition and rewarding reduces employees work motivation and job satisfaction. Hence, administration of organizations and institutions should build up the arrangement for giving that rewards and recognition to enhance employee job satisfaction and motivational level (Reena et al, 2009).

Empowerment
Empowering makes employees feel that they are appreciated and for making it possible continuous and positive feedback on their performance is essential (Smith, B, 1997). According to Pastor (1996), for victorious appliance of empowerment it is essential for an individual to do efforts and take actions in an environment where they are responsible for what they are doing (Amin et al, 2010). Employee contribution and their energetic participation in configuring up the organization are tremendously essential to the hale and hearty place of work (Matthew.J, 2009).

Empowerment and Employee Motivation
John Baldoni in his book ‘Great motivation Secrets of Great Leaders’, has discussed that empowerment and recognition encourages and motivates people to work. He elaborates it that empowerment grants people with responsibility and authority to act as it puts people in control of their own destinies Also he wrote that its fundamental to our humanity that everyone needs to be recognized about how and what work they have done and next time they do it more efficiently for the sake of more recognition (John, B, 2005). According to Chao et al. (1994), employees’ perception of the goals, standards and political principles of their firms were positively and significantly related to employee motivation and gratification towards work (Reena et al, 2009). Bhatti and Qureshi (2007) propose that employee participation in organization measures develop motivation and job-satisfaction level (Reena et al, 2009). Sanderson (2003) believed that empowerment creates motivation and energy in workforce to do their work efficiently and effectively (Amin. et al, 2010).

Organizational Effectiveness
There are four important models:
The goal model describes organizational effectiveness in terms of the extent to which an organization attains its objectives. The legitimacy model regards in terms of a background evaluation “of component preferences for performance and natural limitations on performance from an external environmental perspective” (Zammuto.R.F, 1982). The constituency model considers “as a set of several statements, each reflecting the evaluative criteria applied by the various constituencies” involved with the organization being evaluated with an emphasis on means criteria (Connolly.T, 1980). The systems resource model defines “in terms of its (the organization’s) bargaining position, as reflected in the ability of the organization, in either absolute or relative terms, to exploit its environment in the acquisition of scarce and valued resources” and how they utilize these resources (Yuchtman.E, 1987).

Employee Motivation and Organizational Effectiveness
Employee satisfaction and motivation towards work refers to prospects of the employee about the organization and his approaches frontward his service (Ali et al, 2011).Organizational effectiveness refers to locating targets and attaining them proficiently in spirited and energetic surroundings (Constant.D, 2001). The autocratic leadership styles, mechanistic design of organization and authoritarian rules as practiced in African organizations, are all where decision making is concerned only to top management and employees are just given orders to accomplish different tasks. In these types of organizational environment the employees may suppress innovativeness and their motivation hinders which has a direct negative effect on organizational performance, growth and effectiveness (Constant.D. et al, 2001). An internally satisfied, delighted and motivated worker or employee is actually a productive employee in an organization which contributes in efficiency and effectiveness of organization which leads to maximization of profits (Matthew.J. et al, 2009). Conclusion

Recognition and empowerment play an essential part in enhancing employee motivation towards organizational tasks. By appreciating the employees for their work done and giving them participation in decision making, internally satisfies them with their job, organization and organizational environment. Thus their enthusiasm and motivation towards accomplishment of tasks increases.
