high energy contribute more effectively to achieving organizational objectives. Both

Vajikarana) or intrinsic motivation (in the case of motivation and productivity).

By fostering motivational wellness in the workplace, organizations can ensure
that employees are not only physically healthy but also mentally and emotionally
motivated, ensuring that they bring their best selves to work.
