Introduction of Organization
Every year in Andhra Pradesh state cricket tournament will be conducted by the Andhra cricket academy to encourage the players from each district in the Andhra Pradesh state. It was one of the top most cricket academy in the India which produce the best players to the national level every year by encouraging the local players from each district. Totally 20 teams were participated in the tournament from each district. They encourage local players from each part of the district by conducting this tournament and by looking up over all tournament they select the players who are performing at high level irrespective of winning the tournament. Management will give the prize money for the winners and a shield and certificate of participating that will help them in future playing tournaments.
I participated in the team from Visakhapatnam which is called the city of destiny called VIZAG WARRIORS. We are having a very good players in my team. Each team is very strong in the tournament. My team is trained by our coach where he was assigned by the VIZAG WARRIORS cricket academy. He has 20 years of experience in training the cricket players. In the tournament we were reached to finals by beating all the teams who participated in the tournament with the good training given by our coach. We had 7 days left for our finals after winning the semifinals. My team must play finals in Amaravati with the opposite team called GUNTUR MIRCHIS. Both the teams were reached to Amaravati as it was the capital of the Andhra Pradesh state. In capital we have the lot of facilities for the players. It was taken as prestigious competition by the state academy. They were giving the live updates in the stadium. Both the team members families were also reached Amaravati to see the live match played by both the teams.
Issues
- Some of my team members were not satisfied about the facilities provided by the Vizag cricket academy regarding the sport equipment used by the players in the tournament, food which is not good for the fitness and also the pay given to the players for each match played in the tournament which is very less.
- My team practiced the matches during the seven days with learning new strategies and shots. We covered the mistakes noted by our coach done in the previous matches of each player in the team. During the last day after training session both the teams were met at the practice pitch. My team players all got fear by looking the opposite team members. Opposite team members were having the more experienced players and some of them played for the nationals for India team. All my team members were discussing about the opponents were tough and discussing about their winnings, techniques used by them and we were going to lose the match. Each of the team member got depressed and we lost the hope of winning the match.
Maslow’s theory
Maslow states that people will get motivated to achieve the needs that precedence over others. He mainly says that basic needs are physical needs which helpful in surviving the human being and that motivates the behavior of the person. He briefly explained it in the five-stage model.
- Physiological needs: These are basic needs belong to the human requirements for survival. Examples are air, food, drink, clothing. He considers that these are the most important than the other needs.
- Safety needs: security, freedom, law.
- Love and belonging needs: these are the interrelation ships which helps in motivating the human behavior.
- Esteem needs: It is divided into two categories one is for independence and achievement, and the other is for reputation.
- Self-actualization needs: these are the fulfillment for their personal growth. (McLeod, 2018)
Application of Maslow’s theory
In the issue’s players mentioned that facilities, food, equipment were not good which were provided by the cricket academy. Maslow’s states that food, air, water, clothing are the basic primary needs for the human being. These needs help the person in motivating the behavior and helpful in concentrating in achieving the goal. The players were also not satisfied regarding the pay which is given by the cricket academy.
These issues were discussed in the team by the players and we all complained to the captain of the team and the captain concluded and complained to the coach and the coach send the message to the upper management of the academy. They all verified with the staff who are working in the facilities department who all take care of the facilities of the players during the tournament. All of them came to conclusion that these facilities should be done immediately as these will motivate the players in playing confidently without having any disappointment.
In the issue of feeling fear of winning the match with the opponent by looking up their training Maslow theory will helpful to get motivated to the players. He explained that esteemed needs and self-actualization needs are the secondary needs for the human being in the life. This theory in this case that players should get self-motivated of their own and without any fear players should play. Mainly with this we all got motivated and took as a challenge playing with them and get the chance of playing in the nationals.
With the application of the Maslow theory all the issues were solved, and players got motivated by providing all facilities by management and building the confidence without any fear. Finally, we all played and won the tournament.
Herzberg’s Theory
Herzberg proposed a two-factor theory of motivation. He classified it into two categories.
Hygiene factors
Hygiene factors are the job factors which are helpful in getting motivation in the work place. He mainly explained that without these factors’ workplace will be dissatisfaction and makes the employees dissatisfied. These are extrinsic of work and explains the environment of the work. Pay, physical working conditions, policies and status are they hygiene factors. Motivational factors are called as the satisfiers. These are the psychological factors which keeps the employees motivated by the recognition, responsibility, sense of achievement and meaningfulness of the work. (Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory of Motivation, nd)
Application of Herzberg’s theory:
Management were solved the problem by the application of the Herzberg’s theory.
Hygiene factors in solving the issues are:
- Providing the effective and supportive staff for the players facilities.
- Increasing the pay for each player during the tournament.
- Each player should give the importance during the match session and placing them in the good positions.
- Keeping the room facilities, sports equipment for the players in hygiene conditions.
Motivational factors in solving the issues are:
- Challenging the opponent team players for performing effective in the match.
- Players must have the sense of achievement in the tournament and get self-motivated.
- We had a chance of getting the growth in the carrier of the cricket which get a chance of playing in the national level.
- Taking the responsibility of the match by each player and performing well.
- Providing the rewards for the best players in the tournament by the academy.
By implementing all the factors with the help of Herzberg’s theory the management solved the problems faced by the players in the tournament. Academy staff improved all the facilities for the players and improve the motivation and helped them in reaching the finals of the tournament.
ERG theory of motivation
Mainly it consists of three needs existence needs, relatedness, and growth. It shows how the works in fulfilling the needs depending on the goals, status and environment.
Existence needs
- These are the important in the work setting.
- ERG provides the basic material existence needs for the people in the organization
- It also includes the Maslow’s physiological needs and safety needs.
Related needs
It mainly focusses on the people how they react according to the social environment. It involves the relation ship of the co-workers, friends, family, supervisors. This involves with the people how they interact with others in the social environment.
Growth needs
An intrinsic development for personal growth which includes the self-actualization under Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. It states that fewer needs are satisfied which related to the basic needs of the human being. These are development for the individual and helps in achieving the goals. (ERG theory of motivation, 2017)
Application of the ERG theory
In this case team players are not satisfied with the facilities provide by the academy. The basic needs for the human being are food, clothing and so on. Academy has provided less facilities for the players during the initial stages of the tournament. Things were noticed by the management of the academy due to the players were not performing well in the tournament. With the implementation of the ERG methods they developed the basic needs and, they have developed the growth needs for the players in the form of the wages of the matches and rewards for the players those who perform well in the tournament. They have provided the best sports equipment for each player in the match as they are the physiological needs of the player in protecting any damage to the player.
Total team were got motivated by the coach after observing the action of the team after the practice match sessions. Coach has understood and developed the relation among us by having the discussions and self-motivating, this helps the team members in gaining the confidence and helped the players in performing well in the final match of the tournament.
Barriers of motivation
- Over thinking which leads to remove confidence
- Fear of failure
- Cooperation of other team members
- Peer pressure makes the wrong decisions
- Lack of involvement
- Equitable compensation
- Less communication
Conclusion
In the team as a leader he should take forward in understanding the problems of the team members and providing the facilities after discussing with the upper management. Team leader should motivate the members in loosing the hope and building the strong mindset among all the team members that help them in achieving the common goals of the team or organization. Upper management also must take care of the team members by regular checking the facilities providing to players as that gives more encouragement. Also, management should give the motivation classes for the team players by the coach which also helps in taking the game sportive and build the co-relation among the team members.
