concerns since Michael Graham wants to overhaul the company’s personnel
management system. Firstly, the HR Cycle and Employee Journey Map were
analyzed and applied to the identified problems at Banbury Castle. The manager’s
leadership style and the employee’s motivation are the two key problems present in
the organization. Secondly, the analysis of the employee’s motivation will be carried
out. Herzberg’s theory of motivation is applied to this subject. It will shed light on the
reasons that demotivate people and introduce the idea of motivation. Other theories
include Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs and Alderfer’s ERG theory which will be
