“…Studies have shown that achievement motive predicts employees' task and activity choice, persistence in performance situations and attitude toward the general working environment (Wigfield and Cambria, 2010). Satyawadi and Ghosh (2012) posited that to a greater extent, employees are motivated by achievement, betterment in the job and a need for a sense of attainment. Achievement is closely related to the work of high enthusiasm, greater success, willingness to do things perfectly and improving work efficiency.…”

PurposeThis study explicitly examines how Hofstede's cultural dimensions moderate the relationship between nonmonetary motivation factors and performance.Design/methodology/approachThrough the simple random sampling technique, the hypotheses were tested with a sample of 604 employees from a mobile telecommunication company operating in both China and Ghana, two countries that represent two same and opposite cultural poles on Hofstede's cultural dimensions.FindingsThe results point that employee motives such as relationship, supervision, challenging work and achievement are moderated by cultural values. Whilst employees with high power distance cultural values are highly motivated by high supervision, those with low individualistic cultural values are highly motivated by high relationship. The results also depict that whilst the interaction effects between supervision and power distance and relationship and individualism on performance were marginal for both China and Ghana samples, the interaction effect of achievement and masculinity as well as challenging work and uncertainty avoidance on performance had great differences due to the different cultural values for the two countries.Practical implicationsThis study implies that, as organizations are devising strategies to lower personnel costs in a recessionary period, there is the need to redesign motivation factors that go beyond monetary means and based on the cultural background of an employee in order to improve performance.Originality/valueThis is one of the few studies that focused on nonmonetary motives from a cultural management perspective with samples from emerging economies.

“…As per Satyawadi and Ghosh (2012), employees are motivated to a greater extent by achievement and selfcontrol. Now this can be understood: an employee who is achievement motivated seeks achievement, bringing realistic but challenging goals, and betterment in the job.…”

Research on motivation has attracted academic and corporate entities over the last two decades. In the present study, authors have reviewed the intense literature to extract all possible dimensions of motivation, having direct and indirect impact on motivation techniques. This has examined the multidimensionality of motivation from the existing literature and present a conceptual framework based on it, and it is experienced that various motivation techniques (discussed in this study) are having a positive impact on both employee satisfaction and the quality of performance in the organization; however, the model needs to be validated using quantitative measures. In order to study the various issues highlighted in this paper related to employee motivation, a large body of literature mainly from different journals have been incorporated. To make the study more current only those studies were included which were published in the last two decades. In past research papers few dimensions of motivation were used to explain the different models motivation theory which has direct influence on employee motivation. The novelty of this study lies in its theoretical framework where authors have made an attempt to come up with a construct having dimensions that directly or indirectly influences employee motivation.

“…Cappelli et al (2010) explain that a mix of organizational capabilities, managerial practices and distinctive aspects of company cultures set the Indian enterprises apart from firms in other countries (p. 5). The idea that the Indian traditional values can coexist with the modern organizational context has garnered convincing evidence in recent years (Satyawadi & Ghosh, 2012).…”

China and India have undergone significant transformation in recent years as they emerge as the drivers of the so-called "Asian Century". Although the catalyst for this remarkable growth has been the ability of both countries to harness talent, the next two decades will require a very different dispersion of skills. India will increase its working age population by an additional 200 million, while the workforce in China will reduce by 100 million. In the next three decades, China will have more than doubled its population of those aged 65 and over resulting in a weaker dependency ratio. This article examines the multifaceted challenges that are emerging due to significant skills shortages in China and India. Through the lens of human capital theory, two new frameworks are introduced in order to analyze these factors and to suggest potential solutions.
