This paper discusses the link between motivation and performance, and established what makes motivation to have a central role in getting high performances from employees in organizations. It was revealed from the review that there are several motivational theories used by employers at different situations when they want their employees to highly perform. As motivation is to influence employees to perform, hence; performance is the evaluation with respect to acknowledged tasks, objectives, goal line and rational anticipations linked with a role, occupation in an organization. This paper has looked at some of these theories that have been proven and accepted by the general public. They comprise Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, McGregor’s theories x and y, McClelland’s theory of learned needs, Alderfer’s ERG theory, Herzberg’s two-factor theory, Vroom’s expectancy theory and different types of motivation, such as intrinsic and extrinsic. It is evident from the literature reviewed that all theories were established on some experimentations or observations, as a result they are just written ends about a tested situation. Though circumstances can be comparable, they will perhaps by no means be the same. Also, studies have showed that highly motivated employees that are productive and innovative can lead the organization to success through the achievement of its desired results.

The purpose of this article is to review the extant literature on electronic-leadership (e-leadership) and illustrate how it has impacted human resource management. First, a brief introduction will explain how e-leadership can enhance communication between leaders and followers, and then a background section provides various definitions of e-leadership and speci- fies its importance for today’s leaders. The third section shows the connection between e-leadership and human resource management. This is followed by a section on future trends that provide a frank appellation of prospects, promises, and processes of e-leadership. And finally, a conclusion offers ideas of how e-leadership can be implemented by leaders across a myriad of both profit- and non-profit businesses. Competitive advantage and performance of the organization is part of the changing role of human resources today (Dessler, 2006). Ergo, electronic-leadership offers human resource professionals an innovative way to communicate, manage, and lead. The information age has brought with it a host of new technologies and an over abundance of choices amongst them. Leaders are hard-pressed to figure out the applications for each of these technological innovations, let alone which ones to adopt and subsequently implement (McAfee, 2006).

ABSTRACT In this study, we explore the role of organizational virtuousness (OV) as a mechanism through which human resource management practices (HRMPs) affect employee outcomes. We propose that HRMPs lead to higher levels of organizational citizenship behaviors and affective commitment by stimulating OV. Using a sample of 525 workers, from 22 stores of a retailing company, we found evidence that HRMPs predict OV, thereby predicting members’ citizenship behaviors and affective commitment. By suggesting this new mediator, this study contributes to a better understanding of the causal chain linking HRMPs and performance.
