It is essential to retain highly motivated employees because the Home Lands company delivers high-value houses and apartments to customers. The company will ensure that the facilities, infrastructure, and technical guidance provided are satisfactory to the customer. To keep customers happy the company will make convinced that its employees are satisfied.

One of the most important factors influencing human behavior and performance is motivation (Abbah,  2014). Employees can be motivated on the job for various reasons such as recognition, job enjoyment, promotion opportunities, Incentives and personal growth. Adi ( 2000) States that employees can be motivated on the job by a variety of factors, including a sense of accomplishment, recognition, job enjoyment, promotion opportunities, responsibility, and the opportunity for personal growth. (Kumery, 2004) Stating that Employee motivation can lead to increased productivity, efficiency, and performance of the Organization.

 ü  Improved Job satisfaction

Motivated employees always provide higher productivity to the company by maintaining higher standards.  An employee who is motivated is enthusiastic, driven, and takes pride in their work. When a worker's motivation is low, the company’s revenue and output may go down. LMA (1988), emphasizes motivation as a means of increasing employee satisfaction, productivity, and efficiency. A motivating environment will change the employee’s capability, capacity, and efficiency level, and the satisfied employee will increase company productivity (Duah, 2011). Employees who are motivated and satisfied will work hard to achieve organizational goals (Kallimullah, 2010).

ü  Improved efficiency

The company is eager to motivate employees by providing a good incentive scheme, promotions, annual bonuses, and learning opportunities and it will increase the organizational performance (Varma, 2017) . Organizations also must take a similar approach in order to achieve employee goals. This goal can be met by creating an inspiring work environment that promotes and addresses employees' needs for growth and development.

Consider an employee who is unmotivated at work and the organization will use various methods to motivate different layers of employees and to ensure that they are satisfied with everything in the organization (Bhavikatti, 2021).  An unsatisfied employee spends their time at their desk surfing the internet for personal enjoyment or even looking for a new job and waste of your time and money also impact of employee dissatisfaction creates absenteeism, low performance, lower morale, low contribution towards team performance as well as the achievement of the organizational goal and as a result, it is critical to investigate and comprehend the factors that motivate and create job satisfaction among employees (Varma, 2017)

Every successful organization has a dedicated workforce, commitment is the result of motivation and job satisfaction and it is the energy that drives employees to organizational goals (al, 2011) . Myers( 1998) Stating that employees who are motivated to work will generally give their all to the tasks that are assigned to them. Bottom-line employees are the foundation of the company's ability to generate profits and ensure its long-term viability. Employees in the bottom line are motivated to achieve maximum productivity in collaboration with their supervisors (Babalola, 2021). Focusing on bottom-line results is widely regarded as beneficial to both organizational and employee productivity (M, 2007).

ü  Achievement of the company's goal

Motivated employees are always assets to the company.      This will demonstrate the benefits of having motivated employees in the workplace. These highly satisfied employees are more productive, efficient, and willing to work even late hours. As a result, these employees are less likely to leave the company and will stay for a longer period of time. Employee turnover will be reduced. employees will spread the good word about the company, making it easier to hire new employees. This will result in lower employee turnover and higher profits. In the market industry, the company has a good reputation.
