Abstract

The relationship between Motivation and Performance is one of the most discussed topics on management organizational. The assumption underlying most stakeholders in the area is that motivated employees are synonymous with good performance, that is, motivated employees are in a better position to perform well and ensure organizational objectives. Without devaluing the importance of these findings, we seek, in this work, to analyze the influence of motivation on the performance of DAPDI- EMU. Applying a multiplicity of methods (qualitative and quantitative) and techniques that ensured the comprehensive collection and interpretation of data, the review of some studies carried out on the topic, it was possible to outline a general framework to guide the realization of this job. As a corollary of the survey, I concluded that satisfied employees tend to have high performance levels while the dissatisfied are sensitive to the low level of performance. Therefore, motivation is a necessary condition to achieve high levels of performance but not decisive.
