Abstract

       This study focuses on analyzing and proposing strategies for motivating operational staff in organizations to foster continuous self-development. Motivation within organizations plays a crucial role in influencing job performance and the commitment of staff to developing new skills. Research shows that motivation can be divided into two main types: intrinsic motivation, which arises from job satisfaction, and extrinsic motivation, which stems from external factors such as rewards or recognition. Key factors affecting the motivation of operational staff include support from management, proper resource allocation, training and skill development, recognition and rewards, and creating a positive work environment.

          Organizational leaders play a vital role in creating a work atmosphere conducive to learning and self-development. Organizations should promote skill development through high-quality training, clear communication, and recognition to foster long-term motivation. Proper motivation not only enhances staff productivity but also encourages continuous self-development. Organizations that cultivate an environment supporting self-development will have high-quality personnel who can adapt quickly to changes, contributing to the long-term success of the organization.
