When a lower need is satisfied the next highest becomes dominant and the individual’s attention is turned to satisfying this higher need(Amstrong ,2009) Psychologist Abraham Maslow's first developed his famous theory of individual development and motivation in the 1940.He suggested that human beings have a hierarchy of needs .That is ,thal all humans act in a way which will address basic needs ,before moving on to satisfy other ,so –called higher level needs .

Thus, motivating employees adequately is a challenge as it has what it takes to define employee satisfaction at the workplace. Quite a number of studies have been devoted to the link between motivation and its constituent factors and employee performance in different organizations (Forson et.al, 2021).   According to Lee et. al, (2016). Empirical evidence demonstrates that motivated employees mean better organizational performance. Further said that organizations, regardless of industry and size, strive to create a strong and positive relationship with their employees. However, employees have various competing needs that are driven by different motivators. For example, some employees are motivated by rewards while others focus on achievement or security.

    Mainly, Employee’s motivation is affected by many different factors which can be categorized into 3 groups 1: Human-related factors.

Deci and Ryan (1985) suggested that intrinsic motivation is based on the needs to be competent and self-determining .Intrinsic motivation can be enhanced by job or role design.
