Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Paper Description
Background: Motivation in organizations is important and is needed for improving the performance of employees in an affirmative manner. The current study aims to determine the relationship between motivation and job performance, and also to identify the most dominant motivational factor that influences employees’ job performance. Objectives: The current study has three objectives. The first objective is to determine the level of motivation and job performance among the respondents. The second objective is to determine the relationship between motivational factors and job performance. The third objective of the study is to identify the most dominant motivational factor that influences employees’ performance. In the current research, the researcher has tried to explain the impact of motivation on job performance, through conducting the study in Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM). The population of this study was non-academic staff grade N17 at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM). The research instrument was a structured questionnaire. Total samples of 150 non-academic employees were chosen through a multi stage sampling. A Total of 108 questionnaires gathered and the analysis was done for 103 questionnaires. The current study applied a descriptive and co-relational research design in an effort to explore the statistical relationship between the identified variables. The mean score, correlation and multiple regression analyses were conducted through applying SPSS 22.0. Results: The analysis showed that the most significant motivational factor for job performance was responsibility, while fringe benefits was the second significant factor. Conclusion: Human capital management can use diverse plans or factors to simulate workers, but human capital management should remember that different motivational factors or plans would have different motivational influences on different employees. Also managers should consider that the diverse incentive plans may influence employees in different ways, at different positions in time, because of the continual changes in situations, needs and individual purposes. To obtain good results from a motivational plan, the human capital management has to comprehend the differences of employees’ values, needs, tasks, and satisfaction’s levels in terms of increasing job performance and productivity.
