Answer 1

The importance of employee motivation allows management to meet the company's goal.Employee motivation refers to increase productivity and pointing an organisation to achieve higher levels of output.

Internal motivation refers to when you are motivating yourself only but in external motivation refer to when someone is motivating you to do something other than yourself.
