Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the factors that motivate security force personals at work and then study the impact of these identified factors on Motivation of Specialized Unit of Punjab Police Personals. The motivational factors were identified through interviews and after comparison with literature eight motivational factors were identified as independent variable with Motivation as a dependent variable. In order to study the impact of identified motivational factors on motivation of employees, a survey method was used. Questionnaires comprising of five point Likert scale questions were distributed among 306 respondents i.e. Security Force Personals. The results revealed that motivational factors Working Conditions, Career Growth Opportunities, Peer/Fellow Relationship, Salary and Organizational Policies were found to have a significant impact on motivation of Police Force. Whereas factors like recognition, work itself & supervisor role were not proved to be significant. From this study it can be concluded that motivational factors tend to differ in different job settings and careful consideration should be given to the factors that motivate employees in order to enhance their performance. The current study can prove to be a valuable input for policy makers of Police Department and help them understand the motivational needs of employees in different projects of Punjab police.
