Motivation

-- The process by which a person’s efforts are energized, directed, and sustained toward attaining a goal.

Key Elements• Energy – intensity, drive, vigor

• Direction – consistency with org’s goals

• Persistence – continuous effort

-- Taken from the base word “motive” which meanssomething that causes a person to act. Behavior = reward

Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary

Management 11th Edition, Robbins and Coulter

What are Rewards?

In most cases, motivation comes from some need that results in some type of

reward when the need is fulfilled.

Intrinsic rewards – derived from withinExtrensic rewards – something tangible which is given by another person or org (eg bonuses, praise)

MASLOW’S HIERARCHY

OF NEEDS (1954)

ALDERFER’S ERGTHEORY (1972)

HERZBERG’S TWOFACTORY

THEORY (2003)

MCCLELLAND’S ACQUIRED NEEDS

THEORY (1985)

-Coined as… “satisfaction progression “- Needs progress from the lowest, subsistence-needs level needs to highest level of self-awareness and actualization.

Levels Of Needs:• Physiological•Safety•Belongingness•Esteem•Self-actualization

-Drew upon Maslow’s theory but suggested that indivs are motivated to move back and forth through the levels in terms of motivators- frustration-regression principle: indivs move in and out of diff levels depending on whether their needs are met

Level of Needs:•Existence•Relatedness•Growth

Also modified Maslow’s Theory and consolidated down to just 2 areas:Hygienes - lower level motivators which included admin, supervision, intrprsonal relationships, working conditions and security

Motivators - focused on higher level such asachievment, work, responsibility and growth

Needs are not innate but are learned or developed through life experiences

Level of Needs:•Need for Achievemnt•Need for Affiliation•Need for Power

Needs-Based Theories of Motivation

Extrinsic Factor Theories of Motivation

Reinforcement Theory B.F Skinner (1953)

• Positive reinforcement – reward

• for positive behavior

• Nega reinforcement – reward avoidance of bad behavior

• Punishment - conseq for - behave

• Extinction – removal of reward for nega behavior

Behavior is a function of its consequences. Consequences that follow a behavior and increase the probability of a behavior to be repeated are called “reinforcers”.

ADAM’S EQUITY THEORY(1963)

VROOM’S EXPECTANCYTHEORY (1964)

LOCKE’S GOAL SETTING THEORY

EQUITY is the concept of fairness and equitable treatment of an employee compared to others who behave similarly w/n an organization

An individual will act a certain way based on the expectation that it will be followed with a given outcome and on the attractiveness of that outcome.

By establishing goals, individuals are motivated to take action to achieve those goals and that difficult goals, when accepted, result in higher performance

If the employee feels that he/she is under or over rewarded causing inequity, it may result to higher or lower productivity, increased absenteeism or voluntary resignation.

Linkages:a)Expectancy or effort-performance b)Instrumentality or performance-rewardc)Valence or attractiveness of reward

Intrinsic Factor Theories of Motivation

F. TAYLOR’S SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT THEORY

MCGREGOR’S THEORY X AND THEORY Y

OUCHI’S THEORY Z

Focused on studying job processes, determining the most efficient means of performing and in turn rewarding employees

Assumes that people are motivated and able to continuously work hard and should be paid based on the amount and quality of work done.

Theory X – a negative view that workers have little ambition, dislike work, want to avoid responsibility, and need to be closely controlled to work effectively

Theory Y – a positive view that employees enjoy work, seek out and accept responsibility and exercise self direction

Rooted in the idea that employees who are involved in and committed to an organization will be motivated to increase productivity.

Based on the Japanese approach in mgt and motivation, Z managers provide rewards such as long term employment, promotion, participatory mgt et al.
