Reinforcement Theory - Evaluation
• Little insight into motivational processes; merely describes the relationship between reinforcement and behavior
• Is the use of rewards to regulate behavior an unethical form of manipulation?
• Not specific whether or not a person will want a reward

Why study motivation?
Reference: Page 239
Why study motivation?
Motive - from the Latin movere, to move
We each have a different reason for getting out of bed in the morning
Our motives are major determinants of our behaviour
If we understand your motives, we can influence your behaviour (take a day’s holiday if you finish that assignment)

What is motivation?
The internal force which drives behaviour
• Direction - i.e. what a person is trying to do• Effort - how hard a person is trying• Persistence - i.e. how long a person continues trying

Direction Component: What do we want?
High job performance?
Teamwork?
Reliability?

What is motivation?
Motivation N.B.s
People are usually motivated to do something - even nothing
Motivation is not the only determinant of performance: what else might matter?
Motivation does not always result in performance
People are motivated by more than just money

Motivation
• Perspective 1: Goals• What are the main motives for our behaviour? Views motivation in
terms of desired outcomes and goals (Content theories of motivation: Maslow’s needs hierarchy; ERG Theory)
• Perspective 2: Decisions• Why do we decide to pursue certain goals? – views motivation as a
cognitive decision-making process. This question is addressed by process theories of motivation (Equity theory; goal setting theory)
• Perspective 3: Influence• How can we motivate employees to work harder? This perspective
views motivation as a social influence process and is addressed by job enrichment theories

One thing that surprises you the most?
Why does money de-motivate?
Are the implications of this research applicable to all types of occupations and organisations?

Maslow’s Needs Hierarchy
•A satisfied need ceases to motivate behavior
• Needs are ordered hierarchically with lower order biological and safety needs at the bottom and higher order needs at the top
•Lower level needs must be satisfied before higher level needs are activated

The ERG theory of motivationClayton Alderfer (1972) argued that it was more realistic to
consider three basic categories of needs which he called
Three need levels:
Existence needs — desires for physiological and material well-being.
Relatedness needs — desires for satisfying interpersonal relationships.
Growth needs — desires for continued psychological growth and development.

Process theories of motivation …
• How people make choices to work hard or not.Types of process theories:• Choices are based on:
• Individual preferences.• Available rewards.• Possible work outcomes.
• Expectancy theory.• Equity theory.• Goal-setting theory.

Expectancy Theory
Vroom’s VIE Theory (1964)
1. Expectancy - If I tried would I be able to perform the action?
2. Instrumentality - Would performing the action lead to identifiable outcomes?
3. Valence - How much do I value those outcomes?
![Page 26: MOTIVATION WEEK 2 LECTURE II Dr Yseult Freeney. ASSIGNMENT DUE THURSDAY OCTOBER 30 th @ 4PM MATERIAL IN THIS LECTURE IS HIGHLY RELEVANT TO THIS ASSIGNMENT](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56649e0f5503460f94afa59e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Expectancy Theory Cognitive reinforcement theory
Concentrates on the process, not on the content of motivation
Predicts motivation not performance=> How do people choose which of several possible courses of action they will pursue?
Choice process as a cognitive, calculating appraisal of three factors for each of the actions
Force = Exp x (Sum Valence x Instrumentality)
Multiplicative implies all must be high

Justice Theories
Key feature: people motivated by fairness.
• Equity Theory (Adams 1965)
• A person is motivated to achieve and maintain a fair balance between what they put into their work (inputs) and what they get out of it (outcomes). Fairness is defined by comparison with relevant others.
My outputs/My inputs = Other’s outputs/Other’s inputs
• Homeostatic approach• Overpayment Increase effort• Underpayment Decreased effort, turnover

Equity Theory - Measuring and Adjusting
Reference: Page 248
Measuring and AdjustingEquity exists when these ratios are equal:
my rewards (minus my costs) your rewards (minus your costs)=
my effort and contribution your effort and contribution
Strategies for reducing inequity1. Alter your outcomes 2. Adjust your inputs 3. Alter the comparison person’s outcomes 4. Alter the comparison person’s inputs 5. Compare with someone else 6. Rationalize the inequity 7. Leave

Managerial implications of equity theory
• Underpaid people experience anger.• Perceptions of rewards determine motivational outcomes.• Do not underestimate the impact of pay as a source of
equity controversies in the workplace. • Gender equity.• Comparable worth.

Managerial application
Performance goals – clarity
Offer rewards employees value
Reward good job performance
Do not ignore intrinsic and extrinsic rewards
Performance measurement = objectivity + fairness

Goal-Setting Theory
Reference: Page 254
Goal-setting theory Edwin Locke (1968, 1975; Latham and
Yukl, 1975) argues that ‘goal-setting is more appropriately viewed as a motivational technique
Technique relies on a series of propositions which helps us to explain and to predict work behaviour, so it is entitled to be described as theory
Can you define goal setting theory?
A process theory which argues that work motivation is influenced by goal difficulty, goal specificity and knowledge of results
![Page 34: MOTIVATION WEEK 2 LECTURE II Dr Yseult Freeney. ASSIGNMENT DUE THURSDAY OCTOBER 30 th @ 4PM MATERIAL IN THIS LECTURE IS HIGHLY RELEVANT TO THIS ASSIGNMENT](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56649e0f5503460f94afa59e/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Goal-Setting TheoryA goal is ... a target level of performance
If a goal is... difficult
specific
And if a person... accepts the goal
feels committed to it
gets feedback on their progress
Then their performance
Improves because... their behavior is focused
they try hard
they keep trying
they develop strategies

Descriptions of the characteristics•Skill variety – extent to which a job makes use of different skills and abilities
•Task identity – extent to which a job involves a “whole” and meaningful piece of work
•Task significance - results matter both in and out of firm
•Autonomy - ability to work independently and have some responsibility for one’s work
•Feedback - information about results

Job Design• Hackman and Oldham (1976; 1980) stipulate that it is the
perceptions of the core job characteristics that are directly antecedent to the critical psychological states, rather than the objective job properties
![Page 41: MOTIVATION WEEK 2 LECTURE II Dr Yseult Freeney. ASSIGNMENT DUE THURSDAY OCTOBER 30 th @ 4PM MATERIAL IN THIS LECTURE IS HIGHLY RELEVANT TO THIS ASSIGNMENT](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56649e0f5503460f94afa59e/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Growth Need Strength• The most recent version of the JCM (Hackman & Oldham, 1980)
postulates that individuals' reactions to job characteristics and to psychological states are moderated by the strength of their needs for personal growth and accomplishment at work and readiness & capabilty to respond positively to job enrichment (i.e., GNS), and satisfaction with certain contextual aspects of their work environment (pay, job security, co-worker, and supervision).
• Oldham and his colleagues (Hackman & Oldham, 1980; Oldham, Hackman, & Pearce, 1976) further suggest that GNS and each context satisfaction may jointly moderate the relations of the JCM.

Relational Perspective
• Accentuates the role of interpersonal interactions and interdependencies in work
• Processes that promote employees’ connections to other people
• Grant (2007) argues that task significance can be promoted by making employees aware that their endeavours affect the well-being of others.
![Page 43: MOTIVATION WEEK 2 LECTURE II Dr Yseult Freeney. ASSIGNMENT DUE THURSDAY OCTOBER 30 th @ 4PM MATERIAL IN THIS LECTURE IS HIGHLY RELEVANT TO THIS ASSIGNMENT](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56649e0f5503460f94afa59e/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Why are relational mechanisms important?• Employees have basic motives to experience their actions as
related and connected to other people (e.g., Baumeister & Leary, 1995; Ryan & Deci, 2000).
• Task significance provides such a connection by signalling to employees that their efforts influence the well-being of other people (Grant, 2007).
• Application: • Hand hygiene• Fundraising

relational mechanisms more important in current times?
