Nowadays, more and more companies are starting to understand that the real engine of their competitiveness and hence profit making machine are the employees, not the financial capital that they are trying to multiply through their everyday activities (Wanda, 2005). Employees, therefore, are looked upon as an unmatched essential resource of an organization; hence their work performance improvement is one of the major fields which require concentration in successful organizations (Markova and Ford, 2011 and Fisher, 2012). Among the steps taken by organizations to improve employees work performance is providing motivations to their employees (Barney and Ricky, 2004; Caliskan, 2010; Appian et al., 2013 and Nadeem et al., 2014).

In this aspect the organization’s objectives can be pursued and achieved. Motivation is therefore viewed as key determinants of organizational success on work performance.
