Abstract

Employee motivation and retention have become challenging concerns due to their vital role in increasing organisational performance in particular and improving the nation’s economy in general. This study stresses some of the common employee motivation factors in the workplace and how they can influence employee motivation and therefore their retention within an organisation. The research used a quantitative method to obtain the required data and statistics. The data for this research were collected using electronic surveys responded by 132 employees from a higher education institution in the public sector in Ireland. The findings of this research determined that the chosen independent variables, which are workplace motivation factors presented in the chance to develop and progress, relationship with supervisor/manager, and employer branding, have a significant influence on the dependent variable which is employee motivation and therefore their retention. However, the independent variable of benefits and rewards did not identify as factors that have an impact on employee motivation.
