A Strong partner all over the world – Asia, Australia Siemens’ heritage in India dates right back to 1867 when it began laying the world’s first undersea cable from London to Kolkata.
- INDIA
Siemens set up a branch in India as early as 1922, in Mumbai and Kolkata. Though the company’s assets were confiscated during World War II as enemy property forcing it to shut operations, Siemens re-entered India after the war. It started operations as the “Siemens Division” of “Protos Engineering", a local contracting company. Siemens was engaged in sales and service of our own brand of switchgear and switchboards. Its first workshop was located under the bridge of, what is today, the Mahalaxmi Railway Station in Mumbai.
In 1957, Siemens was incorporated as a company under the Indian Companies Act as Siemens Engineering & Manufacturing Co. of India Pvt. Ltd. In 1961, Siemens became a public limited company with restricted external shareholding and was listed in the Bombay Stock Exchange a decade later.

Curriculum Topic 1.MOTIVATION Motivation stimulates people and encourages them willingly to put more effort into doing something. Well-motivated employees will feel fulfilled and happy in the workplace. Additionally, they are likely to be more productive and produce work of a higher quality. This case study focuses upon three different theories of motivation and uses these to illustrate how employees are motivated within an engineering environment at Siemens. Motivated individuals are influenced by a number of different factors. Initially, everybody has basic needs, such as for food or accommodation, which pay can provide. However, there are many other different factors that motivate individuals. A creative environment, such as that provided by engineering, can be very stimulating. Some staff at Siemens thrive on the problem-solving aspect of their roles and respond to challenges. Other employees find the varied nature of the work motivating – having the opportunity to try different roles. Siemens employees also value the fact that they are allowed to be imaginative and can influence their own work. The structure of Siemens motivates individuals by empowering them to improve processes. Siemens provides the sort of environment where workers can learn new things and are given the opportunity to progress within the business. This culture demonstrates that Siemens values its employees and helps to recruit the next generation of engineers. siemens.com August 2016

2. Scientific management Frederick Taylor looked at work within a production setting. He was one of the earliest advocates of professional management and believed that the relationship between task and workers’ co- operation could be standardised. Taylor’s scientific management theory involved observing workers to see how they carried out tasks. As a result of his work tasks were broken down into smaller scale units of work, requiring little understanding from employees of what they were doing. This job specialisation meant that workers undertook tasks with a narrowly defined range, for which they were rewarded according to how much they produced. Payment systems rewarded those who produced the most. Taylor’s way of working is very different from the needs of the modern working environment. However his work has helped form a scientific understanding of how work is organised. Today, engineering needs people with greater capability and flexibility. Engineering staff at all levels need to use their knowledge and skills in many different situations. At Siemens, the culture encourages employees to become more involved in their work, suggesting and implementing improvements. Control as originally suggested by Taylor, which removed personal responsibility, is not what modern engineering is about. Controls still exist but the person doing the job is encouraged to work as part of a team and become involved in deciding the best way to do or improve a task. This is because in engineering there is a continuous need to develop new and better products and processes. They cannot be confined to one way of doing things. For example, a new product or process may open the way to new markets. siemens.com August 2016

3.Hierarchy of needs. One of the most famous theorists on motivation is Abraham Maslow. In 1954 he developed a ‘hierarchy of needs’. This he represented as a triangle. The most basic needs are at the bottom. The more complex needs are at the top. S e l f f u l f i m e n t (
Self-fulfiment (selfactualisation) Self-esteem needs Social needs Safety/security needs Physiological needs
s e l f a
At the bottom of the hierarchy are the basic needs which drive people to work. This includes the need for food, water, warmth, shelter and clothing. Once these needs are met, individuals then want safety and security. This includes physical security at work. It also includes safe working practices, job security and financial security. Social needs are all about groups and belonging. Socialising with a group of friends or with work colleagues fulfils social considerations. In addition, employees like to feel part of an organisation. Self-esteem needs might include the rewards from a workplace. It might include a benefits package or even status within the workplace. Self-fulfilment is about working to one’s full potential. This would involve doing something challenging, creative or interesting.

Siemens provides the opportunity for employees to fulfil their higher-order needs. For skilled, creative workers, like engineers, these are likely to be of great importance. Esteem is about having self-respect and the respect of others. Feeling that one’s work is making a difference can improve self-esteem. Recognition of an employee’s achievements by the employer also helps to meet esteem needs. For example, Siemens runs schemes in which suggestions and projects for improvements are rewarded. This could be financially, either individually or as part of a team, or in terms of peer or management recognition of their achievements. Self-actualisation is concerned with workers fulfilling their potential. Engineering work allows employees to do this by enabling them to get involved and take responsibility for their own jobs. Individuals can seek to make improvements and changes. An engineering environment generates excitement and challenges. Original solutions and ideas are required to solve problems on a regular basis. These appeal to the higher needs of employees. It is also possible to use technology to identify new ways of working and new processes. Siemens offers engineering staff training and development opportunities. This links with self-actualisation as it helps engineers to extend their capabilities which may lead to a progression up the career ladder. Training and development also helps individuals to meet the changing demands of the business’ global markets. siemens.com August 2016

4. Satisfiers/dissatisfiers Frederick Herzberg also believed that people have needs that should be satisfied within the workplace. He felt that if people had their needs satisfied they would be productive employees. Herzberg’s research focused upon the activities of engineers and accountants. It resulted in his two-factor theory. Herzberg theorised that there were two influences that affected how people felt about their job. 1. Motivators (or satisfiers) There are a number of aspects of any workplace that give individuals job satisfaction. The nature of the work itself is very important. Some individuals just love what they do. Things that satisfy people in the workplace and make them happy are: • The opportunity for personal development • Achievement • Recognition • Promotion • Responsibility • Levels of responsibility.

2. Hygiene factors (dissatisfiers) Hygiene factors are things that can upset employees in the workplace. They are outside the control of the individual but have a huge influence on the roles of each worker. For example: • Company policy may frustrate some employees and be viewed to some as a hindrance • Bureaucracy or needless paperwork may be considered to be a barrier to getting a job completed • Sometimes working conditions are not thought of to be suitable Other factors may be poor salary or staff feeling they are not valued nor consulted.

5.CONCLUSION Motivating employees is an important role for managers. In the past, as the work of Frederick Taylor illustrated, motivation theory linked very closely to pay and output. Individuals now need to be motivated in a completely different way. They have higher order needs. This was illustrated through the work of Abraham Maslow. Frederick Herzberg discovered there are also elements within the workplace that both satisfy and dissatisfy employees. This case study illustrates how the work of Maslow and Herzberg applies in a modern engineering environment like Siemens more than Taylor’s. Lower order needs are met by the organisation providing good pay and a safe working environment. Higher order needs are also provided for its engineers through training and development, as well as the opportunity to undertake creative and challenging work. Siemens employees are motivated by being recognised for their achievements and by having opportunities for progression, regardless of the level at which they started working for Siemens.
