1. ORGANISATION AND ORGANISATOINAL STRUCTURE.
ORGANISATION.
One man or a group of people cannot do all the jobs in a business enterprise. Hence
several groups of people have to work together to achieve the goals of the company. Thus
an organization is created.
An organization is defined as a structure that enables people to work together,
efficiently to achieve the goal through division of labour and function, and hierarchy of
authority and responsibility.
IMPORTANCE OF AN ORGANISATION.1

ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE2
Organizational structure is a formal and informal framework of policies and rules,
within which an organization arranges its lines of authority and communications, and
allocates rights and duties. Organizational structure determines the manner and extend to
which roles, power and responsibilities are delegated, controlled, and coordinated and hw
information flows between levels of management. this structure depends entirely on the
organization’s objective and the strategy chosen to achieve them. In a centralized
structure, the decision making power is concentrated in the top layer of the management
and tight control is exercised over departments and divisions. In a decentralized structure,
the decision making power is distributed and the departments and division, in a
decentralized structure the decision making power is distributed and departments and
divisions have varying degrees of autonomy. An organizational chart illustrates the
organizational structure.

1.4 THEORY OF MOTIVATION3
Motivation is a need or desire that causes a person to act; to have initiative, spirit or be
enterprising.
Human needs have wants and desires, which can influence their behavior. Only
unsatisfied needs can influence the behavior, satisfied needs do not act as motivators.
Since needs are many, they are arranged in the order of their importance or hierarchy,
from the basic to the complex. Further up the hierarchy the person is able to go , the more
individuality, the humanness and psychological health he or she will display. In this
context the study on self motivation is important.
1.4.1 Different views of motivation.

2.1 GENERAL INTRODUCTION
Naturals are a buzzword these days. It wasn’t long ago that our society seemed
less concerned with nature than with progresses. But now we se the importance of
sustainability and human values. The ways we live and hope to live has undergone a
revolution. Natural medicine was at the vanguard of this revolution. Thanks to the work o
pioneering naturopaths ―a balanced diet’ and ―a regular exercise’ were accepted as basic
requirements for the health. Naturopathy is hardly a alternative if you consider that its
essential ideas form the basis of this massive shift in our thinking about food and the
body.
Today, the Natural Revolution has evolved into ―The organic Revolution‖. The Organic
Revolution has really only just begun, but already it ahs redefined our concept of a
healthy life. We have realized that what we assume to be natural – fruits, vegetables,
herbs – are not necessarily produced in a natural way.
Pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers and genetic modification have corrupted our food
sources and compelled many of us to aspire to a new ideal: living free of harmful
chemicals.
During the last decade, popularity of alternative medicine increased significantly
worldwide with noticeable trends in the United states in particular. This in turn
accelerated the global trade of the herbal raw materials and herbal products and created
high scope for the Afro-Asia as well as Latin – American countries, which are the major
suppliers of the herbal raw materials in the world.

The global trade of medicinal and related plant materials were estimated to be of the
approx. value 62billion US$ in 2001. China has been successful in acquiring the single
largest share in this export market because of its well-deigned national policy on the
traditional Chinese medicine. Ginseng is the major item of the Chinese export.
Despite contradictory claims regarding India’s share in the world market of medicinal
plants, one thing is very clear that ideally it should have the second largest share , but the
country lags far behind china owing to its unorganized trade system and inadequate
policy. The government of India has however been quite active since 2000 to overcome
this problem, and has adopted many measures to give a boost to the export of the
medicinal plants and herbal products.
A ―National medicinal plant Board‖ has been constituted to facilitate the conservation,
propagation and marketing of important medicinal plants, herbal products and its state
level counterparts are also operating to implement this mandate at the individual states.
2.2 INDUSTRIAL PROFILE
2.2.1 HERBAL EXTRACTION INDUSTRY
Herbal medicine, also called botanical medicine or phytomedicine refers to the use of
many plant seeds , berries, roots, leaves , bark or flowers for medicinal purposes. Long
practiced outside of conventional medicine, herbalist is becoming more main stream as
up to date analysis and research show their value in the treatment and prevention of
disease. Plants had been used for medicinal purposes long before recorded history.

The industrial processing o medicinal and aromatic plants start with the extraction of the
active components using one or the other technology. In case of essential oils, which
represent a heterogeneous mixture of widely varied chemical constitutes, the extraction
processes for the production of essential oils from aromatic plants and extracts from
medicinal plants differ widely and the best results are obtained by modifying and
adapting the general extraction process to a particular medicinal and aromatic plant.
There are many processes patented throughout the world for commercial extraction of
plant ingredients. Herbal extracts is a liquid solution o herbs and alcohol. The fired or
fresh herbs are combined with alcohol, then the solid matter is removed leaving only the
oils of the herbs mixed with the alcohol. This process is called extraction, hence the
name, herbal extract. From earliest times medicines were the product off parts steeped in
or boiled with water. Experience showed that other liquids such as alcohol (e.g. wine,
brandy, etc) and vinegar made extraction of the ingredients more efficient and had a
preservative action.
Nowadays there are four common methods for extracting aromatic compounds from plant
material:
Distillation,
Solvent extraction,
Expression,
Effleurage.
All four methods intend the final product to be used in perfumery or scenting, however,
none of these extraction methods produces an exact replica of the scent of a fresh plant.
The reason for this inability to exactly replicate the scent of a fresh plant is due to the fact
that these extraction methods denature the aromatic compounds by either exposure to
heat, oxygen or chemical solvents.

2.2.2.1 Nutraceutical
Health foods are known under different names throughout the world.
Nutraceuticlas are food products supplemented with herbal ingredients. Vitamins,
minerals and nutrients or ingredients isolated/purified form conventional foods. These are
the latest products in a succession of health food evolution constituting dietary
supplement, fortified foods, foods and beverages with added bioactive ingredients. The
strongest market driver for the nutraceutical is the ―baby boomer generation‖ which will
be the largest buying consumer group in the years ahead. The US leads the Nutraceutical
market followed by countries of western Europe and Japan, will remain largest global
producers and consumers. Asia and Pacific, Latin America , Africa and Middle East are
set to provide the fastest growth for the nutraceutical industry. China will see the most
impressive jump in nutraceutical production and consumption USA ($10 – 37 billion);
EUC ($ 15-20 billion); Japan ($10-14 billion).
2.2.2.2 Herbal Drug
Herbal drugs have been used since ancient times as medicines for treatment of range of
diseases. Medicinal plants have played a key role in world heath. In spite of the great
advances observed in medicine in recent times, plants still make an important
contribution to health care.
During the past decades, public interest in natural therapies, namely herbal
medicines, has increased dramatically not only in developing countries but mainly in
industrialized countries.
This has increased the international trade in herbal medicine enormously and has
attracted most of the pharmaceutical companies including the multinationals. Currently
most large multinational companies are interested in commercializing drugs. It is

estimated that the European market alone reached about $7 billion. Herbal medicine
markets in Asia and Japan reach $2.3 and $2.1 billion, respectively. However, in no other
country has the herbal medicine market reached about $3.2 billion.
2.2.2.3 Cosmeceuticals

current scenario a huge demand for herbals are from nutraceutical industries.
2.4. Essential oil industries.
An essential oil is a concentrated, hydrophobic liquid containing volatile aroma
components from plants. They are also known as volatile or ethereal oils, or simply as
―oil of‖ the plant material from which they were extracted, such as mustard. Oil is
―essential‖ in the sense that it carries a distinctive scent, or essence of the plant.

2.3.2. GLOBAL VIEW OF HERBAL PRODUCTS INDUSTRY
Herbal product industry is one of the fastest growing industry in the world.
Popularity and global interest in herbal products are due to the following:
Lesser side effects as compared to synthetic products.
Affordability
Effectiveness and time tested.
No cure in modern medicine for chronic and lifestyle related disorders.
Global trade in herbal medicines/food supplements currently stands at US $70
billion.
Worldwide demand is to reach $15.5 billion in 2010. World demand for
nutraceutical ingredients is forecasted to advance 5.8 percent annually to 15.5 billion in
2010. In that year these compounds will serve a projected $197 billion market for
nutritional preparation and natural medicines. Due to clinical and scientific evidence of
health benefits and safety, the best worldwide growth opportunities for nutraceutical
ingredients will emerge inn soy isoflavone proteins, the functional food beverages
additives lutien, lycopene, omega -3 fatty acids, herbal extracts garlic and green tea, and
non-herbal extracts chondrotin, glucosamine and coenzyme Q 10.
2.3.3. MARKETS IN CHINA, INDIA TO EXPAND MOST RAPIDLY.
China and India will emerge as the fastest expanding nutraceutical markets as
strong economic growth leads to the extensive upgrading and diversification of food,
beverage and pharmaceutical production capabilities. The US will remain the largest
global consumer of nutraceutical ingredients due to the broad, increasing range of
Organisation study and study of motivational factors of employees of ANEL
- 18 -
nutritional preparations and natural medicines produced domestically. However, the
country’s demand for these ingredients will grow below the average worldwide pace as
market for many fortified foods and beverages, dietary supplements, and adult and
pediatric nutritional become more saturated. Based on outsourcing trends, the US will
relinquish.
Increasing acceptance by consumers and medical professional will push
world demand for herbal and non-herbal extract 6.5% annually to almost $1.9 billion in
2010. Conflicting clinical and scientific testing results about actual health benefits will
inhibit faster gains in the overall products group. Garlic for improving cardiovascular
functions, ginkgo biloba for enhanced cognitive properties, saw palmetto for benign
prostatic hyperplasia, green tea for cancer prevention and weight loss, and black cohosh
for post-menopausal symptoms will be among the herbs continuing to fare well in the
worldwide market place.
2.4. Constraints faced by herbal production industry
As herbal production industry is one of the fast growing sectors in the world, but it also
suffers many problems to sustain in the industry .some of the constraints faced by herbal
product companies are as follows –
Lack of awareness o economics benefits of E.O. industry.
Technology and skilled man power.
Inadequate infrastructure.
Inventories for information and plant resources.
Market intelligence.
Credit facilities for business development.
Unsupportive govt. policies.

The bulk of the raw material for nutraceutical, cosmeceutical and for herbal drug
industries comes from developing countries like China and India. Medicinal plants and
herbal products are used in functional foods and dietary supplements; its demand is

growing in European market. This market is larger and more developed in European and
American countries. China and India are leading exporters of raw materials (Herbal
extracts, essential oils etc.) in the world.
2.6. MARKET POTENTIAL AND DEMAND DYNAMICS.
As per World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates 80% of the world population
depends on herbal medicine for their primary healthcare needs. In 2004 the global trade
in herbal medicine was estimated around USD 60bn increasing with an annual growth
rate of 15%. The industry is expected to attain a value of USD 5 trillion by 2050. The
demand for herbal medicine is especially high in European Union (EU) and United
States. These two markets are the key drives of the global herbal trade.
Presently, India countries less than 1% the global herbal market however it is fast
emerging as a key supplier of medicinal plants across the globe. The present value of the
entire Ayurvedic production in India is estimated to be around USD 1bn while annual
exports are pegged at USD 100mn. Of the total exports 60% is crude herbs, 30% is
finished product shipped abroad for direct sales to consumer and the remaining 10% is
partially prepared products to be finished in the foreign countries. Apart from the
traditional herbal formulations, cosmetics, nutraceutical are two up coming opportunity
segments which are expected to be the future growth drivers of the herbal industry.

2.8. INDIAN SCENARIO
In India herbal and spice sector has traditionally occupied an important position in the
socio cultural, spiritual and medicinal area of rural and tribal lives. Recognizing its
importance, the government of India established the development o Indian system f
medicine and homeopathy, and more recently the medicinal plants board to develop,
promote and regulate the sector for maximizing the benefits to the people as well as to
ensure sustainable growth.
Medicinal plants have been identified as one of the thrust areas by the ministry and
different programmers have been initiated for conservation of medicinal plants sound in
the forest and protected areas as well as cultivation of plants in the degraded forest areas.
Kerala has been at the forefront of Ayurvedic revolution in the country, endowed with
rich biodiversity because of its natural topography comprising of all three biomes – hills,
platues and coasts. The state government has established a R&D and educational
infrastructure for the further developing science of traditional medicine and also took the
lead in promoting health tourism which has been equally popular among Indian as well as
foreign tourism.
The county, blessed with 16 agro climatic zones, 45,000 plant species and 25,000
medicinal plants, has a good potential to export herbal products. Non – acceptance by the
profession in the developed countries owing to lack of technical documentation is,
however, hindering its exports. The Indian herbal extracts industry has grown over the
years and is today estimated between INR 500 crores and INR 600 crores. The biggest
concern is to establish the efficacy of Indian medicinal plants on modern scientific terms
Organisation study and study of motivational factors of employees of ANEL
- 23 -
and produce extracts in hygienically maintained good manufacturing facilities. The
global herbal market is estimated at $ 65 bn and India’s share is only $1 bn. Global
demand for herbal products have been growing steadily at 15 % per annum.
World health organisation (WHO) projects the global herbal products market at $5
trillion by 2050. There is a comparative need to consolidate, mobilize and organize the
sector. With the global market growing at a much faster rate than the domestic market,
the Ayurvedic and Siddha manufactures need to orient themselves to export needs.
2.8.1. Advantages of Indian herbal industries.
Strong traditional support – mainly from Ayurveda
Plants used for century’s safety margin very high.
Availability of herbs for variety of indications like sugar/weight.

3.7.3 Omega 3 fatty acids
These are considered to be essential fatty acids. They are essential to human
health but cannot be manufactured by the body. For this reason, omega-3 fatty acids must
be obtained from food. Omega -3 fatty acids can be found in fish, such as salmon, tuna,
and halibut, other marine life such as algae and krill, certain plants (including purslane),
and nut oils also known as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA’s), omega -3 fatty acids
play a crucial role in brain function as well as normal growth and development.
There are three major types of omega 3 fatty acids that are ingested in foods and used by
the body: alpha –linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and
docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). As the importance of omega – 3 fatty acids to health ha
received increasing awareness, the number of good products enriched in omega 3 fatty
acids has increased. Many companies add fish oil or flax oil into their final product to
enrich it in omega -3 fatty acids

4. Research Methodology
4.1.Statement of problem
The objective is to study the various factor that influence a person’s performance
in an organization. This study is to find the factors that motivate the employees and how
much do the employees accept it to be a factor of motivation, by rating them in a Likert
scale
4.2 Literature review
1. Meaningfulness, commitment and engagement: The intersection of a deeper level
of intrinsic motivation (2009)1
: the literature refers to value as intrinsic motivators to
performing a task and deriving satisfaction from the accomplishment of that task.
Although the emphasis may be on the congruence of the task with our beliefs, objectives
and anticipated rewards, motivation is seen as focused on the accomplishment of the task.
The common assumption is that we are motivated by values based on results or outcome.
Meaning, of the other hand, is more deeply intrinsic and something even deeper . This
level of intrinsic motivation is about the meaning of the work itself to the individual.
Csikszentmihalyi (1990), in his attempt to define meaning , readily acknowledged the
difficulty the task presents by suggesting that any definition of the term would
undoubtedly be circular . However, he pointed to three ways in which the word may e
defined, two of which are (a) having a purpose or significance of something and (b) the
intensions one holds.
2. How Do Rewards and Management Styles Influence the motivation to Share
knowledge (2008)2: How to motivate knowledge sharing is of crucial importance to
many companies. This paper analyzes individual knowledge sharing behavior in a self-
determination theory (SDT) perspective. The primary aim is to explore what type of
motivation predicts knowledge sharing behavior and how this type of motivation is
Organisation study and study of motivational factors of employees of ANEL
- 64 -
affected by reward structures and management styles in organizations. The paper builds
on survey and interview data from a pilot case study and provides statistical evidence of a
strong positive relationship between autonomous motivation and knowledge sharing
behavior. Furthermore, tangible rewards are found to correlate negatively with
autonomous motivation for knowledge sharing. The more employees perceive knowledge
sharing to lead to tangible rewards, the less they are autonomously motivated to share. On
the other hand, a management style supportive of employees’ needs for autonomy is
found to promote autonomous motivation for knowledge sharing.
3. A Research Study on the Effect of Work motivation on Job Satisfaction (2010)3:
This study attempts to develop the effect of work motivation on job satisfaction on two
big mobile telecom organizations zong and ufone. The questionnaire was developed to
measure the correlation of work motivation and job satisfaction. It was concluded that,
there must be some other variables that are intervening in our model and making
contribution at a significant level. Thus the model has not attained the favorable level of
significant and could not be used for further research. It can be said that the variables
chosen for the study was not highly significant. Researcher also found that overall the
employees were quiet satisfied with their jobs and have their interest in their job. More
than average employees were motivated to work for the organization. Some of
employees think that they are not on their actual path and often feel over worked.
4. The Relationship between Perceived Training Opportunities, Work
Motivation and Employee Outcomes (2008)4: The purpose of this study was to explore
alternative relationships between training opportunities and employee outcomes. A cross-
sectional survey of 343 trainees from a broad range of Norwegian service organizations
showed that the relationship between perceived training opportunities, and both task
performance and citizenship behaviors were fully mediated, and that the relationship
between perceived training opportunities and turnover intention was partially mediated
Organisation study and study of motivational factors of employees of ANEL
- 65 -
by employee intrinsic motivation. In addition, intrinsic motivation was found to moderate
the relationship between perceived training opportunities and organizational citizenship
behaviors.
The form of the moderation revealed a positive relationship for those with high intrinsic
motivation. In sum, the variables included as predictors in our study explained 13 percent
of the variance in task performance, 19 percent of the variance in organizational
citizenship behavior and 24 percent of the variance in turnover intention. Implications for
practice and directions for future research are discussed.
4.3. Significance of study:
McShane,Steven L. , Von Glinow,Mary Ann (2001)5 in their book says ― Motivation is
one of the key ingredients in employees performance and productivity . Even when
people have clear work objective, the right skills and a supportive work environment,
they won’t get the job done without sufficient motivation to achieve those work
objectives. Motivation refers to the forces with in a person that effects his or her
direction. Intensity and persistence of voluntary behaviour. Motivated employees are
willing to exert a particular level of effort for a certain amount of time , towards a
particular goal.‖
Motivation is thus, the most significant thing in any body’s life to drive towards their
goal, this study thus helps to find the various motivational factors and also how well and
in what manner has those factors being accepted by the employees , as they rated it
according to their preference and as to what according to them is more important.
This study can help the company know more about how much they are successful in
meeting the motivational demand of employees both psychological and physical and how
good they are at motivating their employees, also, it helps the company to realize what
factors are adding to productivity and what all are demotivators, this help the company to

4.3 Scope of study
M.N. Mishra (2006)6in his book ―Organizational Behavior‖ says ―motivation is
related to the motives of the people - by what they are moved and activated to achieve
their goal. Motivation may be understood differently by different people as incentives to
do work, motives to achieve goals, desire to posses something useful, drives to come
forward for outstanding performance and so on. The Latin word ―Movere‖ is the basis of
the motivation. ―Movere‖ means to message, appeal and so on. People are motivated by
certain situations and action. Motivation is always directed towards achievement of high
levels of work. Favorable jobs and high performance and quality of work , employees’
levels of performance and their qualification are considered for motivation.‖
Based some theoretical back ground some areas that need to be sought to find if they are
motivational factors were chosen and results were analyses.
Job satisfaction: Satisfied employee is likely to be motivated by responsibility
and control and would find opportunities for managing people or situations
energizing. A sense of job security also leads to a stress free work interest and
adds to job satisfaction. Doing better than others is likely to energise, betating
targets could be quite motivating. A clear definition of roles and responsibilities
help them to plan and do work on time as needed and a work completed on time
motivates the employee to do more as it fetches him praise, being in uniform
gives a feeling on equality and belongingness to the company and the employees
will be more loyal to the firm.
Awareness of the company affairs among the employees: Knowing about the
policies about the company will help the employee work in controlled
environment and also know his or her boundaries this will help to define the work
he or she does, at the same time it will help them know their benefits and perks

that they are entitled to, better. Praise and positive feedback is likely to be motivating,
recognition for a job well done is likely to be energizing , such as acknowledgement
in News letter etc.. Unlikely to be affected by a lack of praise
Work environment: A positive and work and employee friendly environment to
work will yield better employee performance, like a proper timings to work and
better peer, subordinate and superior bonding will motivate the to come for work
regularly and do the job with enthusiasm. Finding new opportunities for learning
new skills motivating personal development is likely to be important . like during
training. Employees feel energized by opportunities to spend time with and learn
from colleagues.
Compensation: compensations and perks gives the employees a sense of trust
and safety that there are people who matter to them and they are taken care off,
most of the employees working in the manufacturing department etc, will want to
have a proper compensation policies in their firm as it gives them a sense of
security and safety.
Welfare measures: Any company to prosper needs to do welfare measure, if not
an extensive one at least the basic needs of human beings need to met, as to
getting drinking water, canteen facilities and some get together fro the employees
and their family members.

6.2 Conclusions
Here, I put forward that through the organizational study I have been able to acquire and
appreciate knowledge regarding the functioning of different departments in ANEL. This
study gave me a chance to interact with different functional heads and employees, which
helped me to understand things more practically . as a whole it was a nice experience for
me to do a organizational study in ANEL and I would like to hank each and every
employee of the organization for helping me to complete my study.
The secondary topic of finding the factors of motivation in ANEL employees, has also
been done, and has been interpreted with charts and graphs, to know the pulse of the
employees working in ANEl. It has been observed that the employees in ANEL is well
taken care off by the management and by the colleagues , as this is evident form the study
that most of the answers of the questionnaire were positive and the result of the study
showed that the employees in ANEL are dedicated to their duties and respective tasks.
6.3 Suggestions
It is observed that there is no interaction or much of family get together events
happening in ANEL, if these types of events are incorporated the employees will be
emotionally attached to the company and feel the work place as a second home, this in
turn will reduce their stress and tension and make them better productive resources.
A personality development session can be held in a regular basis of either a year or
half yearly so that there is a problem sharing and interactive session between employees ,
this will help them shed their inhibition and make them a team player.
