The subject of Production Environment and Motivation is a complex one. Production is affected because of motivational levels between superior and subordinate. On one hand the environment is marked by various mechanical systems and contrivances, on the other hand there are various elements which affect the Hygiene Factors around an employee. Motivation involves the inner self and the outside factors in a subtle way. For employees working in a typical production system; the external work environment changes from one type of operation to another. The motivational level of superior influences the motivational level of subordinate. The researchers put effort to find out whether different work environments in a production system influence the working relationship in the subordinate-superior dyad. The concept of ‘Relative Motivation’ was used to explore the relationship by the researcher in the research work. The subject was chosen in context of Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) in Pune which is considered the hotbed for SME activities in different kinds of production systems.Downloads
