PT PPI is a subsidiary of Petron Corporation that operates the Romeo Oil and Gas production block in Riau Province under the Production Sharing Contract (PSC) with the Government of Indonesia for more than 90 years. In 2021, the PSC will end therefore PPI needs to complete all its responsibilities including to remediate Hydrocarbon Impacted Soil (HIS) scattered throughout the operational areas. HIS remediation project was formed for conducting the remediation and it soon realize that the biggest threat for success is low motivation of people assigned to the project. While the rest of the organization is slowing down, HIS remediation project is the only function with increasing workload and stress level due to pressure from multiple stakeholders and finite project timeline. To validate the business issue of low motivation, HIS team survey and targeted leaders interview was utilized. The result of this survey in combination with interview, confirms the premise of low motivation and the feedbacks were clustered into five themes. Solutions were later developed for each theme and issues mapping was created to see which solutions are solving the right theme. Additional solutions were selected with the alignment with motivational theories based on people cognitive abilities to rationalize their actions (expectancy theory, goal theory, and equity theory). Business solutions put into implementation and plan was constructed to sequence the activities and all actions are accompanied with result measures, process measures, and behavior measures. These measures will assist in progress checking and future adjustments to sustain discretionary efforts based on internal motivation.
