Task/assignment at workplace 6.Salary, compensation and benefits       7. Empowerment .Result of this study showed that MFIED as a valid instrument and all the identified 48 items were admissible for employees’ with disability. Job Security, Timely promotion and work life balance have been identified as the most important motivators affecting employees with disabilities, working at Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Limited,  A Central Public Sector Undertaking under the administrative control  of Ministry of Steel, Govt. of India.

The renewal of sources of motivation requires an analysis of the changes currently affecting the world of work and their consequences.
