Therefore, it has become important to realize organizational and individual goals, which in turn depend on self-motivation as well as self-satisfaction. The study aims to measure the effect of the biographical characteristics (age, gender, educational qualifications and work experience) on employee motivational force and the tenure of the employees in Academic (Technical Education) Sectors in India. A quantitative methodology was used for the study and questionnaire method was used as the measuring instrument. Participants were 157 employees (randomly selected) from different Technical Academic Institutes in India. The four independent variables of our study were age, gender, educational qualification and work experience of employees and the dependent variables were employee motivational force and the tenure in job of the employees.
