Anjali had been working with 'Tata Enterprises' for the last ten years. She was famous for her dedication towards the work. When the Manager who was senior to her retired, all her colleagues thought that now Anjali would be promoted. But to everyone's surprise the vacant post was filled by an outsider 'Miss Monika.' Anjali felt demoralised and her performance started declining. She would absent herself often and could not meet her targets.
Miss Monika was a good leader who would not only instruct her subordinates, but also guide and inspire them. She noticed Anjali's behaviour and felt that her performance could be improved.

Anjali was now punctual to office and her performance started improving.

Features of motivation are as follows:
(i) Motivation is an internal feeling: Motivation is a psychological concept and cannot be forced on employees. The internal feeling like needs, desires or urges influence human behaviour to act in a particular manner.
