Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore how employee motivation factors impact on the employee's desire to keep working in SME firms. This study primarily is based on raw data which are collected from 278 employees of SME firms in Bangladesh. Apart from adopting the quantitative method, the Smart PLS 3.0 and SPSS V23 were utilised for analysing the gathered primary data. Furthermore, we predicted ten hypotheses in this study. Our findings assure that a positive and significant relationship among working conditions, salary and incentive, and job stability with employee motivation is sustained which indicates a direct relationship on the desire of employees to continue working in this sector. This study did not find any conventional relationship between the behaviour of presidents and subordinates with employee motivation. This study further demonstrates that employee motivation does not mediate the relationship between behaviour of presidents and subordinates with the desire to continue working.

员工动机作为继续工作愿望的指标：来自孟加拉国中小企业的证据

本研究旨在探讨中小企业员工动机因素对员工继续工作意愿的影响。这项研究主要基于从孟加拉国278家中小企业员工那里收集的原始数据。除了采用定量方法外，还使用Smart PLS 3.0和SPSS V23对收集的原始数据进行了分析。此外，我们在本研究中预测了十个假设。我们的研究结果表明，工作条件、薪酬和激励以及工作稳定性与员工动机之间存在着积极而显著的关系，这表明员工继续在该行业工作的愿望存在直接关系。本研究未发现总裁和下属的行为与员工动机之间存在任何传统关系。这项研究进一步表明，员工动机并不能调节总裁和下属的行为与继续工作的愿望之间的关系。

期刊介绍： There is a burgeoning development of theories but unfortunately very few make it into management practice. Explanations for this are many and varied but can be classified into two major reasons: theories that are too narrow and far removed from the realities and intricacies of the world of practice, and second sound theories which are unfortunately written and discussed in a manner that confines them to forever live in the confines of academic corridors. IJMP focuses on the pragmatics of informing management action and practice. This requires translating existing theories into forms that are relevant, digestible and amenable to practical action as well as developing new insights by developing and examining leading edge managerial practices to enhance organisational performance.
