These are all additional reasons that can lead to a lack of motivation in an organization; if an employee feels that there is no one to turn to, that there are no opportunities for advancement, and that the hierarchy does not communicate with them will give the employee reasons to be unsatisfied. Additional problems in an organization that may be reasons for motivational problems found in EL include the inability of employees to see the finished product. Each department has their job, once their job has been completed, it is possible that the project is then transferred to another building to have other aspects of the project completed; therefore, employees are not able to have a sense of satisfaction in seeing the result of their efforts. Nor are they able to see how their efforts work congruently with the efforts of their coworkers. Goals are not clear and in place. Often employees are left not really knowing what the ultimate goal of their efforts is suppose to be. This is turn leaves staff confused without clear set ideals of what needs to be done and the level of expectation.

An unclear reward system has also created an atmosphere that is not conducive of high motivation and overall employee unity. Employees have been left without a means of self or group motivation by not knowing...

Another problem is evident by the lack of a discipline system. Again, this provides additional information that shows reason why EL has such a significant issue with motivation within its system. It becomes difficult for employees to be motivated if there are no consequences for inappropriate actions, as well as insufficient ways of dealing with inappropriate actions of coworkers and superiors.
Lastly, opportunities for training are also insufficient. These aspects along with the others mentioned, are all reasons why motivation has been a problem for El, and will continue to be a problem as long as they are not addressed by the President and other management that he/she allows to make pertinent choices. Therefore, EL's structure and methods prove as an example of what companies should not do if they want motivation to be an aspect of the work environment, as well as decreased turnover due to increased employee loyalty. All aspects of one's business need assessment as well as verification to insure that all aspects of business are being attended to, while increasing productivity and cohesiveness. Following EL's companies, mistakes will allow one to create the proper template for effective motivation in their business.
