It is always internal to us and is externalized via our behavior. Motivation is ones willingness to exert efforts towards the accomplishment of an individuals goal. DEFINITION OF MOTIVATION Fred Luthans: A process that starts with a physiological or psychological deficiency or need that activates behavior or a drive that is aimed at a goal or incentive. Stephen P. Robbins: Motivation is the willingness to exert high levels of efforts toward organizational goals, conditioned by the effort ability to satisfy some individual need. Gray and Starke: Motivation is the result of process, internal or external to the individual that arouses enthusiasm and persistence to pursue a certain course of action.

Motives provide an activating thrust towards reaching a goal. Goals: Motives are generally directed towards goals. Motives generally create a state of physiological or psychological imbalance. Attaining goals restores balance. Behavior: Behavior is a series of activities to be undertaken. Behavior is directed to achieve a goal.

GENERAL THEORIES OF MOTIVATION

THEORIES BASED ON HUMAN NEED

1. Maslows Need Hierarchy Theory Maslows theory is based on the human needs. In essence he believed that once a given level of need is satisfied, it no longer serves to motivate man. Then, the next higher level of need has to be activated in order to motivate the man.

I. PHYSIOLOGICAL NEED: These needs are basic of human life and hence include food, clothing, shelter, air, water and necessities of life. These needs relate to the survival and maintenance of human life. They exert tremendous influence on human behavior. These needs are to be met first at least partly before higher level needs emerge. Once physiological needs are satisfied, they no longer motivate the man.

II. SAFETY NEED: After satisfying the physiological needs, the next needs felt are called safety and security need. These needs find expression in such desires as economic security and protection prompted to work more. Like physiological needs, these become inactive once they are satisfied.

III. SOCIAL NEEDS: Man is a social being. He is, therefore, interested in social interaction, companionship, belongingness, tec. It is this socializing and belongingness why individuals prefer to work in groups and especially older people go to work.

IV. SELF ESTEEM NEEDS: These needs refer to self-esteem and selfrespect. They include such needs which indicate self-confidence, achievement, competence, knowledge and independence. The organization. However, inability to fulfill these needs results in feeling like inferiority, weakness and helplessness.

V. SELF ACTUALISATION NEEDS: This level represents the culmination of all the lower, intermediate and higher needs of human beings. In other words, the final step under the need hierarchy model is the need for selfactualization. This refers to fulfillment. The word self-actualization was coined by Kurt Goldstein and means to become actualized in what one is potentially good at.

According to Maslow, the human need follow a definite sequence of domination. The second need does not arise until the first is reasonably satisfied, and the third need does not emerge until the first two needs have been reasonably satisfied and it goes on. The other side of the need hierarchy is that human needs are unlimited. However, Maslows need hierarchy theory is not without its detractors. 2. Herzbergs Motivation Hygiene Theory The psychologist Frederic Herzberg extended the work of Maslow and proposed a new motivation theory popularly known as Herzbergs Motivation Hygiene [Two Factors] Theory. Herzberg conducted a widely reported motivational study on 200 accountants and engineers employed by firms in and around Western Pennsylvania. He asked these people to describe two important incidents at their jobs: [1] When did you feel particularly good about your job and [2] when did you feel exceptionally bad about your job? He used the critical incident method of obtaining data. The responses when analyzed were found quite interesting and fairly consistent. The replies respondents gave when they felt good about their jobs were significantly different from the replies given when they felt bad. Reported 6

good feelings were generally associated with Employee MotivationL, whereas bad feeling with job dissatisfaction. Herzberg labeled the job satisfiers motivators, and he called job dissatisfies hygiene or maintenance factors. Taken together, the motivators and hygiene factors have become known as Herzbergs two-factor theory of motivation. According to Herzberg, the opposite of satisfaction is not dissatisfaction. The underlying reason, he says, is that removal of dissatisfying characteristics from a job does not necessarily make the job satisfying. He believes in the existence of a dual continuum. The opposite of satisfaction is no satisfaction and the opposite of dissatisfaction is no dissatisfaction. According to Herzberg, todays motivators are tomorrows hygiene because the later stop influencing the behavior of persons when they get them. Accordingly, ones hygiene may be the motivator of another.

3. McClelland Need Theory McClelland developed his theory based on Henry Murrays developed long list of motives and manifest needs used in his early studies of personality. McClellands need-theory is closely associated with learning theory, because he believed that needs are learned or acquired by the kinds of events people experienced in their environment and culture. He found that people who acquire a particular need behave differently from those who do not have. His theory focuses on Murrays three needs; achievement, power and affiliation. a. Need for Achievement: This is the drive to excel, to achieve in relation to a set of standard, and to strive to succeed. In other words, need for achievement is a behavior directed towards competition with a standard of excellence. McClelland found that people with a high need for achievement perform better than those with a moderate or low need for achievement, and noted regional/ national differences in achievement motivation. b. Need for Power: The need for power is concerned with making an impact on others, the desire to influence others, the urge to change people, and the

desire to make a difference in life. People with a high need for power are people who like to be in control of people and events c. Need for Affiliation: The need form affiliation is defined as a desire to establish and maintain friendly and warm relations with other people. *Summary chart of three need theories of motivation just discussed. The chart shows the parallel relationship between the need s in each of the theories. Maslows refers to higher-lower order needs, whereas Herzberg refers to motivation and hygiene factor.

A.

THEORIES BASED ON HUMAN NATURE

1. McGregors Participation Theory

Douglas McGregor formulated two distinct views of human being based on participation of workers. The first basically negative, labeled Theory X, and the other basically positive, labeled Theory Y. Theory X is based on the following assumptions: i. People are by nature indolent. That is, they like to work as little as possible. ii. People lack ambition, dislike responsibility, and prefer to be directed by others. iii. People are inherently self-centered and indifferent to organizational needs and goals. iv. People are generally gullible and not very sharp and bright Theory Y based on following assumes that: i. People are not by nature passive or resistant to organizational goals. ii. Thy want to assume responsibility. iii. Thy want their organization to succeed. iv. People are capable of directing their own behavior. v. They have need for achievement. McGregor tried to dramatize through his theory X and Y is to outline the extremes to draw the fencing within which the organizational man is usually seen to behave. The fact remains that no organizational man would actually belong either to theory X or theory Y. In reality, he/she shares the traits of both. What actually happens is that man swings from one set or properties to the other with changes in his mood and motives in changing environment.

2. Urwicks Theory Z Much after the propositions of theories X and Y by McGregor, the three theorists- Urwick, Rangnekar, and Ouchi-propounded the third theory labeled as Z theory. The two propositions in Urwickss theory are that: i. Each individual should know the organizational goals precisely and the amount of contribution through his effort towards these goals.

ii. Each individual should also know that the relation of organizational goals is going to satisfy his/her needs positively. In Urwicks view, the above to make people ready to behave positively to accomplish both organizational and individual goals However, Ouchis Theory Z has attracted the lot of attention of management practitioners as well as researchers. It must be noted that Z does not stand for anything, is merely the last alphabet in the English Language. Theory Z based on following four postulates: i. Strong Bond between Organization and Employees ii. Employee Participation and Involvement iii. No Formal Organization Structure iv. Human Resource Development Ouchis Theory Z represents the adoption of Japanese management practices [Group decision making, social cohesion, job security, holistic concern for employees, etc.] by the American Companies. In India, Maruti-Suzuki, HeroHonda, etc apply the postulates of theory Z.

3. Argyris Theory Argyris has developed his motivation theory based on proposition how management practices affect the individual behavior and growth. In his view, the seven changes taking place in an individual personality make him/her a mature one. In other words, personality of individual develops from immaturity to maturity as follows: Immaturity Passivity Dependence Capable of behaving in a few ways Shallow interest Short-term perspective Subordinate position 10 Maturity Activity Independence Capable of behaving in many ways Deep interest Long-term perspective Super ordinate position

Lack of self-awareness

Self-awareness and control

Argyris views that immaturity exists n individuals mainly because of organizational setting and management practices such as task specialization, chain of command, unity of direction, and span of management. In order to make individuals grow mature, he proposes gradual shift from the existing pyramidal organization structure to humanistic system; from existing management system to the more flexible and participative management. He states that such situation will satisfy not only their physiological and safety needs, but also will motivate them to make ready to make more use of their physiological and safety needs. But also will motivate them to make ready to make more use of their potential in accomplishing organizational goals.

11

C. THEORIES BASED ON EXPECTENCY OF HUMAN BEING 1. Vrooms Expectancy Theory One of the most widely accepted explanations of motivation is offered by Victor Vroom in his Expectancy Theory. It is a cognitive process theory of motivation. The theory is founded on the basic notions that people will be motivated to exert a high level of effort when they believe there are relationships between the effort they put forth, the performance they achieve, and the outcomes/rewards they receive.

Thus, the key constructs in the expectancy theory of motivation are: i. Valence: Valence, according to Vroom, means the value or strength one places on a particular outcome or reward. ii. Expectancy: It relates efforts to performance. iii. Instrumentality: By instrumentality, Vroom means, the belief that performance is related to rewards. The Vrooms motivation can also be expressed in the form of an equation as follows: Motivation = Valence Expectancy Instrumentality Being the model multiplicative in nature, all the three variables must have high positive values to imply motivated performance choice. If any one of the

12

variables approaches to zero level, the possibility of the so motivated performance also touches zero level. However, Vrooms expectancy theory has its critics. The important ones are: i. Critics like Porter and Lawler labeled it as a theory of cognitive hedonism which proposes that individual cognitively chooses the course of action that leads to the greatest degree of pleasure or the smallest degree of pain. ii. The assumption that people are rational and calculating makes the theory idealistic. iii. The expectancy theory does not describe individual and situational differences. But the valence or value people place on various rewards varies. For example, one employee prefers salary to benefits, whereas another person prefers to just the reverse. The valence for the same reward varies from situation to situation. In spite of all these critics, the greatest point in the expectancy theory is that it explains why a significant segment of workforce exerts low level of efforts in carrying out job responsibilities. 2. Porter and Lawlers Expectancy Theory Porter and Lawlers theory is an improvement over Vrooms expectancy theory. They posit that motivation does not equal satisfaction or performance. The model suggested by them encounters some of the simplistic traditional assumptions made about the positive relationship between satisfaction and performance. They proposed a multi-variate model to explain the complex relationship that exists between satisfaction and performance. What is the main point in Porter and Lawlers model is that effort or motivation does not lead directly to performance. It is, in fact, mediated by abilities and traits and by role perceptions. Ultimately, performance leads to satisfaction. There are three main elements in this model. Briefly explained as follows, i. Effort: Effort refers to the amount of energy an employee exerts on a given task. How much effort an employee will put in a task is determined 13

by two factors [1] Value of reward and [2] Perception of effort-reward probability. ii. Performance: Ones effort leads to his/her performance. Both may be equal or may not be. However, the amount of performance is determined by the amount of labor and the ability and role perception of the employee. Thus, if an employee possesses less ability and / or makes wrong role perception, his/her performance may be low in spite of his putting in great efforts. iii. Satisfaction: Performance leads to satisfaction. The level of satisfaction depends upon the amount of rewards one achieves. If the amount of actual rewards meet or exceed perceived equitable rewards, the employee will feel satisfied. On the country, if actual rewards fall short of perceived ones, he/she will be dissatisfied. Rewards may be of two kind- intrinsic and extrinsic rewards. Examples of intrinsic rewards are such as sense of accomplishment and self-actualization. As regards extrinsic rewards, these may include working conditions and status. A fair degree of research support that the intrinsic rewards are much more likely to produce attitudes about satisfaction that are related to performance

14

There is no denying of the fact that the motivation model proposed by Porter and Lawler is quite complex than other model of motivation. In fact, motivation itself is not a simple cause-effect relationship rather it is a complex phenomenon. Porter and Lawler have attempted to measure variables such as the values of possible rewards, the perception of effort-reward probabilities, and role perceptions in deriving satisfaction. They recommended that the managers should carefully reassess their reward system and structure. The

effort-performance-reward-satisfaction should be made integral to the entire system of managing men in organization

Theories in KOTAK MAHINDRA BANK

4.1 McClelland NEED THEORY USED IN KOTAK MAHINDRA BANKFOR MOTIVATION Management believed that needs are learned or acquired by the kinds of events people experienced in their environment and culture. They found people who acquire a particular need behave differently from those who do not have. This theory focuses on Murrays three needs; achievement, power and affiliation. a. Need for Achievement: Need for achievement is a behavior directed towards competition with a standard of excellence. McClelland found that people with a high need for achievement perform better than those with a 16

moderate or low need for achievement, and noted regional/ national differences in achievement motivation. For example offer for higher incentives, offer for gifts, etc.

b. Need for Power: The need for power is concerned with making an impact on others, the desire to influence others, the urge to change people, and the desire to make a difference in life. People with a high need for power are people who like to be in control of people and events. This results in ultimate satisfaction of man. For example offer for Promotion. c. Need for Affiliation: The need form affiliation is defined as a desire to establish and maintain friendly and warm relations with other people. 4.2 PERFORMANCE APPRAISALS AS MOTIVATION Eagle view on performance means appraising the performance; which could be first stepping stone forward achieving the objective of company. Performance appraisal is the step where the management finds out how effective it has been at hiring and placing employees. Performance appraisal can be either formal or informal. Usage of formal system schedule regular sessions in which an employees performance is discussed, and informal appraisals are unplanned. But most organizations use a formal appraisal system. BENEFITS OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISALS For the one who is, Appraisal: (by this he can) Know how they are working Know what is expected of them Receive recognition and praise. Be hard and respected. Receive help and encouragement

Appraiser: (by this he can) 17

Improve their communications and relations with staff. Full understanding the performance contribution. Get to know performer better. Have a consistent approach for giving more effective.

The importance of Performance Appraisal: 1. It unifies the appraisal procedure. 2. It provides information, which is useful in making and forming important decisions. 3. It provides information form of record about rating. 4. It serves to stimulate and guide employees development. 5. A periodic and accurate appraisal constraint a supervision to be alert and competent in his work. Objectives of Performance Appraisal Success of an organization depends upon 3ps product, process and people. Here people play key role. And some people believe that human resource have capability to appreciate with time. Hence if organization wants to ride on the path of success, it must vigil on performance of its people. Performance appraisal system is based on psychological behavior of people which states that people perform for their feelings and responses and also the performance appraisal plans are designed to meet the needs of the organization and the individual. The future oriented performance appraisal is concerned with the identification of employees training on development needs and setting of new targets. 4.3 EMPLOYEE EMPOWERMENT Introduction: In simple words, empowerment is giving power .the word empower means to give the means, ability and authority. Definition: Empowerment is any process that provides greater autonomy through the sharing of relevant information and provision of control over factors affecting job performance. 18

A participative process that uses the entire capacity of employees and is designed to encourage increased commitment to the organizations successes. Approaches to empowerment: The real problem is how to empower employees. Like other behavioral problems, the researchers have studied the problem and have suggested five approaches to empowerment. These are, 1. Helping employees achieve job mastery [Giving proper training, coaching and guide experience that will result in initial successes]. 2. Allowing more control. [Giving them discretion over job performance and then holding them accountable for outcomes]. 3. Providing successful role models [Allowing them observe peers who have already performed successfully on their jobs]. 4. Using social reinforcement and verbal and persuasion designed [Giving to praise, self encouragement confidence]. 5. Giving emotional support [Providing reduction of stress and anxiety through better definition, task assistance and honest caring]. 4.4 BARRIERS TO EMPOWERNENT: Of the several barriers to effective empowerment, the important ones are as follows, Some sort of organizational culture is found incongruent with the concept of employees empowerment. In these organizations the management philosophy is molded by the whims and fancies of the CEO. These CEOs are hardly enlightened with education but enriched by wealth. As such they follow dictatorship and run the administration with an iron hand. There are organizations where employees have no inclination towards the concept of empowerment Some employees may have fear in their minds that they will be punished if they will take initiative in the matter of empowerment. feedback raise

19

Employees who are either under prolonged autocratic leadership or possessing external locus of control, with the security of having some one to tell them what to do and when to do, they will therefore resist empowerment. The superior who are power hungry never would like to part their authority with subordinate.

Kotak Mahindra Bank realize this and have specially tailored a wide range of value added products and services to make money work for you. These, coupled with the highest standard of customer care will make life simpler and easier.

Multiple Banking Channels

Today the technology driven banks are finding various means to reduce costs and reach out to as many customers as possible spread over a diverse area. This has led to using multiple channels of delivery of their products. 51

ATM (Automatic Teller Machine) :

An ATM is basically a machine that can deliver cash to the customers on demand after authentication. However, nowadays we have ATMs that are used to vend different FMCG products also. An ATM does the basic function of a banks branch, i.e., delivering money on demand. Hence setting of newer branches is not required thereby significantly lowering infrastructure costs. Cost reduction is however possible only when these machines are used. In India, the average cash withdrawal per ATM per day has fallen from 100 last years to 70 this year. Though the number of ATMs has increased since last year, it is not in sync with the number of cards issued. Also, there are many dormant cardholders who do not use the ATMs and prefer the teller counters. In spite of these odds, Indian banks are increasing the number of ATMs at a feverish pace. These machines also hold the keys to future operational efficiency Account holders of Kotak Mahindra Bank Saving Account having Visa Electron Debit Card can access other Banks ATM machines unlimited times per month for free, after that the Account holder has to pay nothing for the transaction. But also holders of ATM cards cannot access machines belonging to other Banks. The number of ATM machines installed by Kotak Mahindra Bank is 20 in Delhi and the All India tally is 156 machines. When this figure is compared to ICICI Bank which has thrice the number of machines in Delhi or HDFC Bank which has nearly twice the number of machines in Delhi, this is worrying for Kotak Mahindra Bank.

53

The Table below shows the number of ATM machines belonging to various banks in India:From the above table we can clearly see that HDFC Bank is the Bank which has highest number of ATM machines on All India basis, this is followed by ICICI Bank, then UTI. When we look at the concentration of machines in the Delhi Region we see that out of ICICI Banks 560 Machines 112 are located in Delhi representing 20%. The corresponding figure for Kotak Mahindra Bank is 14.2%. HDFC Bank is 11.8%, IDBI Bank is 12.3%, and CITIBANK is 13.75%.

Net Banking:
Net banking means carrying out banking transactions via the Internet. Thus the need for a branch is completely eliminated by technology. Also this helps in serving the customer better and tailoring products better suited for the customer. A customer can view his account details, transaction history, order drafts, electronically make payments, transfer funds, check his account position and electronically communicate with the bank through the Internet for which he may have wanted to visit the bank branch. Net banking helps a bank spread its reach to the entire world at a fraction of the cost

54

Phone Banking:
This means carrying out of banking transaction through the telephone. A customer can call up the banks help line or phone banking number to conduct transactions like transfer of funds, making payments, checking of account balance, ordering cheques, etc. This also eliminates the customer of the need to visit the banks branch.

Mobile Banking:
Banks can now help a customer conduct certain transactions through the Mobile Phone with the help of technologies like WAP, SMS, etc. This helps a bank to combine the Internet and telephone and leverage it to cut costs and at the same time provide its customer the convenience. Thus it can be seen that tech savvy banks are tapping the entire above alternative channels to cut costs improve customer satisfaction

INTERNET BANKING
INTRODUCTION
The Internet banking is changing the banking industry and is having the major effects on banking relationships. Internet banking involves use of Internet for delivery of banking products & services. It falls into four main categories, from Level 1 - minimum functionality sites that offer only access to deposit account data - to Level 4 sites - highly sophisticated offerings enabling integrated sales of additional products and access to other financial services- such as investment and insurance.

DRIVERS OF CHANGE
Advantages previously held by large financial institutions have shrunk considerably. The Internet has leveled the playing field and afforded open access to customers in the global marketplace. Internet banking is a costeffective delivery channel for financial institutions. Consumers are embracing the many benefits of Internet banking. Access to one's accounts at anytime and from any location via the World Wide Web is a convenience unknown a short time ago. The primary drivers of Internet banking are: Improve customer access Facilitate the offering of more services Increase customer loyalty Attract new customers

Internet Banking is the most technological advanced means to do Banking. Through this medium the Account holder can do various types of transactions without having to leave his Office/Residence. The Account holder has the convenience to do transaction no matter where he is in the world at any time of the day. Internet is the most cost effective medium of Banking from the point of view of the Banks; it costs a fraction to the Bank as compared to other mediums like Branch Banking or ATM. But this medium is not as favored a medium as it in the west , the reasons for this is that firstly , this is a relatively new concept in India , secondly , general perception that this is not safe , thirdly , computers and internet are not widely spread all over the country.

57

MAIN CONCERNS IN INTERNET BANKING

In a survey conducted by the Online Banking Association, member institutions rated security as the most important issue of online banking. There is a dual requirement to protect customers' privacy and protect against fraud. 1. A multi-layered security architecture comprising firewalls, filtering routers, encryption and digital certification ensures that account information is protected from unauthorized access: Firewalls and filtering routers ensure that only the legitimate Internet users are allowed to access the system. 2 Encryption techniques used by the bank (including the sophisticated public key encryption) would ensure that privacy of data flowing between the browser and the Infinity system is protected. 3 Digital certification procedures provide the assurance that the data you receive is from the Infinity system.

STRATEGIC ALLIANCES ENTERED BY KOTAK MAHINDRA BANK NATIONAL ATM ALLIANCES

The Institute for Development and Research in Banking Technology (IDRBT), a group established by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in 1996, has planned to set up a national switch to hook up all of the country's 10,000-odd ATMs. The idea of establishing ATM interconnectivity through a national switch has been approved by the information chiefs of various Banks. The expected cost of transactions routed through the switch is to be under 10 rupees (21 cents U.S.) each, due to the high volumes of transactions -- almost 100,000 per day. 58

CASH NET
It is an Alliance between Citibank, Industrial Development Bank of India, Kotak Mahindra Bank and UTI Bank. This is the country's first independent shared ATM network. IDBI Bank received permission from the Reserve Bank (RBI) to serve as the network's settlement bank. Cash net will give access to more than 1,300 ATMs for more than 6 million debit cardholders of the member banks. The Alliance would constitute about a third of the total card base and 15 percent of the ATM base in the country.
