When an individual is highly motivated then they do not think of other alternatives to their work and hence concentrate which results in better performance in the job. Management should try to involve workers in the decision making rrocess before implementing company wide changes. This will make the staff feel part of the team and hence struggle to achieve the set goals-which they were part of. This will lead to higher levels of commitment and resulting in hirher levels of service delivery effectiveness.
