Abstract—Motivation in simple terms may be understood as
the set of forces that cause people to behave in certain ways. A
motivated academician generally is more quality oriented.
Highly motivated employees are more productive than
apathetic employee, one reason why motivation is a difficult
task is that the workforce is changing. Employees join
institutions with different needs and expectations. Their values,
beliefs, background, lifestyles, perceptions and attitudes are
different. Not many institutions have understood these and not
many HR experts are clear about the ways of motivating such
diverse workforce. The present paper is an attempt to identify
the factors determining the motivational level of male and
female academicians.
Index Terms—Motivation, Academician, Psychological
Androgyny.
