Abstract The success of an organization largely depends on the motivation level of its employees. Factors such as salary and wages, working conditions, and job security play a vital role in influencing employee motivation. Inadequate compensation may lead to dissatisfaction and reduced commitment, while unfavourable working conditions can result in stress, health issues, and decreased efficiency. Similarly, lack of job security creates uncertainty, negatively affecting morale and employee loyalty, ultimately leading to low productivity and poor performance. This study aims to analyse the factors influencing employee motivation. A descriptive research design was adopted, and data were collected from 120 respondents using a convenience sampling method. Primary data were gathered through a structured questionnaire, and statistical tools such as simple percentage analysis, chi-square analysis, and correlation were used to interpret the data and draw meaningful conclusions. The findings indicate that there is no significant relationship between salary and wages wand employee motivation, whereas job security shows a positive relationship with motivation. It is recommended that organizations periodically review salary structures to ensure fairness and implement efficient payroll systems for timely payment. Overall, improving motivational factors such as fair compensation, supportive working conditions, and job security can enhance organizational performance and foster long-term employee commitment and stability.
