Thirty companies, 15 Bangladeshi and J5 MNCs from five different' sectors were studied through in-depth discussion with HR Directors/Managers of respective organizations. Major findings indicate that' Bangladeshi companies are logging behind the multinationals in exercising standard employee evaluation and motivational practices. In general, Bangladeshi companies tend to follow a minimum standard rule while MNCs, in line with their organizational tradition and organizational cultural excellence, follow a more employee oriented process which in the long run motivates employees for increased productivity resulting in ever-increasing profitability and sustainability of MNCs.
