The managers and leadership of garments factories in this industry should develop more leadership traits and management characteristics (including honesty, openness, support, hardworking, helpful) to motivate their followers and staff in the workplace.

Chapter 1: Introduction

1.0 Introduction

Employee motivation is an essential element for all kinds of organizations in the current business world. Employee motivation in the workplace is directly related to the productivity and performance of businesses (Bratton and Gold, 2014). A motivated employee shows more loyalty, creativity and innovation, and flexibility than a de-motivated worker. Unhappy staff never give100% effort in the workplace (CIPD, 2015). Therefore, successful businesses evaluate their success by measuring their staff motivation and satisfaction (Torrington et al. (2014). An employee is motivated when his/her work is interesting; the supervisor is supportive; promotional opportunities are good; pay is fair; and co-workers are friendly (Michael, 2013).

Employee satisfaction and motivation reduce complaints and grievances, termination, turnover, absenteeism that ultimately improve staff productivity, punctuality and morale at workplaces. Staff motivation is also important in job satisfaction, self-respect, self-development, and self-esteem. Mullins (2015) said high employee motivation improves business performance and productivity significantly.  However, it is difficult to gain high employee motivation and satisfaction in the workplace because there is no particular formula for increasing employee motivation. In addition, gaining high staff motivation depends on individual needs and expectations (Torrington et al., 2014).

Readymade Garments Industry (RMG) is the backbone of the economy of Bangladesh and it is the catalyst for the development of Bangladesh. Bangladesh earns billions of dollars by exporting cloth products to the foreign countries where the clothes are made in the RMG industry and this also increases jobs for millions of people for Bangladesh for the last few years. In addition, the tag named “Made in Bangladesh” has taken pride or glory for Bangladesh by creating a brand over the world. Once a time Bangladesh was designated as the “bottomless basket” but now it has recognized as the “basketful of wonders.” Bangladesh is a small country with limited resources which has been managing a 7.24% annual GDP growth rate and also has carried outstanding social and human development. Bangladesh will be recognized as a middle-income country by 2021. Bangladesh believes that this dream will come true at a specific time and the RMG industry will play a significant role to materialize this dream.

The first garments industry, established in 1974 in Dhaka, could not establish itself in the export-oriented business. But in 1976, the National economy listed garments industries as foreign money earner industries. In 1978, the first well-planned “Desh Garments” was established in Chittagong. It has emerged as a fast-growing industry in 1980. In 1983, there were 50 industries in the private sector. From then till the gulf war and lastly, till September 11, 2000, the industries need not look back even currently in the period of the global recession. Now the total amount of RMG industry is about 5 thousand 200. Bangladesh usually earns about $25641026. RMG sector earns almost 65%-76% of the total foreign earnings of Bangladesh’s national economy. Bangladesh being a developing country has very few sectors to earn foreign currency; however, Bangladesh has meanwhile achieved name and fame in the Ready-Made Garments (RMG) sector. During 2009- 10, the RMG sector has earned $4329 million……………………………….
