Objectives: The study explores the impact of motivation and job satisfaction on employee performance within Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Midnapore, West Bengal. It examines how motivation influences job satisfaction, the relationship between job satisfaction and employee performance, and how motivation directly affects performance. Method: The research uses a normative survey method with a sample of 400 employees from MSMEs, employing structured questionnaires to assess motivation (intrinsic and extrinsic), job satisfaction (work environment, job role, rewards, career growth, etc.), and job performance (task, contextual, and adaptive performance). Findings: The findings reveal weak positive correlations between job satisfaction and motivation (r = 0.147), motivation and job performance (r = 0.124), and job satisfaction and job performance (r = 0.228). Conclusion: These results suggest that while motivated employees with higher job satisfaction tend to perform better, the relationships are modest, indicating that employee performance is influenced by more than just motivation and satisfaction. Other factors such as leadership quality, organizational culture, and job design also play significant roles in improving performance within MSMEs.
