LINKING EMPLOYEE MOTIVATION WITH TEAMWORK-SPIRIT: THE INFLUENCE OF SOCIAL SKILLS AND SELF-CONFIDENCE

Abstract

No organization can perform efficiently without ‘Teamwork-spirit’ which
is indispensable to welding team members together into a single mind
with several hands to run the organization towards the best possible results.
The creation of TMS is, however, an uphill task. Motivated employees have
been reportedly found inclined to join teamwork. Further, research tells
the attributes of ‘Social-skills’ and ‘Self-confidence’ play as supporting
and strengthening factors for the contributions of motivated employees
in generating TWS. Positivism based on scientific methodology was the
vehicle to view the research and implement the research model. Statistical
tools of correlation and regression have been used to compute the logical
relations between predictor and criterion variables as well as mediators.
The study reveals that SS is playing a dominant role in reinforcing the
relations between ‘employee-motivation’ and TWS while SC has partially
mediated between predictor and criterion variables. The findings offer
statistically established guidelines for the stakeholders.
