In an organization the motivation theory can be applied, through the performance measure such as how the employee is increasing their domain knowledge and having skills expertise and at the same time, with every improvement the reward such as bonus, perks, incentives, and the other gains can be given. The non-monetary can be recognition and accolades through which the employee would feel a better position within the organization.
