This book has highlighted various issues involved in motivation, organisational development, power relationships and management education, and has very incisively clarified why HRD practices have to be creatively adapted in specific cultural contexts. The Euro-American conceptualisations, strategies and paradigms are to be examined, modified and supplemented by indigenous perspectives. The volume is a significant and much needed contribution towards the cultural paradigms of developing societies. It helps in evolving a perspective to deal with global as well as local issues in managing motivation." --The Journal of Entrepreneurship "This stimulating collection of original essays explores two major questions regarding the field of work motivation. First, why is it that developing countries do not fully benefit from the accumulated knowledge in this area and what can be done in the context of these countries to improve organizational effectiveness and employee performance? Second, what is the relevance of western theories and techniques in these countries and what limitations must be dealt with in their application?¼. The entirety provides a comprehensive model for understanding the issues involved in work motivation in developing countries as well as insights into practical application." --International Review of Administrative Sciences In recent years, the field of work motivation has made rapid advances in terms of both theory and technique. These developments have yielded rich dividends for industrialized nations by way of creating effective organizations and by improving employee performance. Organizations in less developed nations, however, have not fully realized work motivation techniques even though the know-how and technologies developed by the West have been transferred to them. This stimulating collection of original essays addresses this issue.
