What is motivation?
 MOTIVATION is the term used to describe
the forces within the individual that account
for the level, direction, and persistence of
effort expended at work.
Three Types of Motivation Theory
 Content Theory
– Needs are physiological and psychological
deficiencies that an individual feels some compulsion
to eliminate.
 Process Theory
– People give meaning to rewards and the work
opportunities available to them.
 Reinforcement Theory
– People's behavior is influenced by its
environmental consequences.
Content Theory
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Theory
– Lower Order Needs
• Physiological
• Safety
• Social
– Higher Order Needs
• Esteem
• Self-actualization
Alderfer's ERG Theory
 An extension of Maslow's theory that proposes
the existence of three needs as opposed to five.
– Existence Needs: Desires for physiological and
material well-being.
– Relationship Needs: Desires for satisfying
interpersonal relationships.
– Growth Needs: Desires for continued
psychological growth and development.
Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory
 Hygiene Factors
– Working Conditions
– Interpersonal Relations
– Organizational Policies
– Quality of Supervision
– Base Wage or Salary
 Satisfier Factors
– Sense of Achievement
– Feeling of Recognition
– Sense of Responsibility
– Opportunity for
Advancement
– Feelings of Personal
Growth
Process Theories
of Motivation
Equity Theory
– Asserts that when people believe that
they have been treated inequitably in
comparison to others, they eliminate
the discomfort and restore equity.
 Perceived Equity
occurs whenever a person perceives that
their personal rewards/inputs ratio is
equivalent to the rewards/inputs ratio of a
comparison other.
 Perceived Inequity
occurs whenever one's rewards/input ratio is
perceived to be unequal...
Expectancy Theory
 Vroom suggests that the motivation to work
depends on the relationships between the
following three expectancy factors:
1) Expectancy
2) Instrumentality
3) Valence
To Maximize Expectancy:
– Select workers with ability
– Train workers to use ability
– Support work effort
– Clarify performance goals
To Maximize Instrumentality:
– Clarify psychological contracts
– Communicate performance-outcome
possibilities
– Demonstrate what rewards are contingent
on performance
To Maximize Valence:
- ID needs and adjust rewards to match.
Goal-Setting Theory
 Set Specific Goals
 Set Challenging Goals
 Build Goal Acceptance and Commitment
 Clarify Goal Priorities
 Reward Goal Accomplishment
Management-by-Objectives ( MBO ) is one
example of a goal-setting system which
promotes participation.
Reinforcement Theory
Reinforcement Theory
 The concept of reinforcement means getting
the work completed by giving some
incentives or rewards to certain person
Types of Reinforcement
Why organization use
reinforcement theory?
 To increase productivity
 To reduce absenteeism
 To increase safety behaviors
 To reduce lost time due to injuries
Factors guven by managaement
Bonus, Gift, holidays,trip, incentives, extra
facilities.
Social Learning Theory
 Social Learning Theory has been useful in
explaining how people can learn new things
and develop new behaviors by observing
other people.
 Observational Learning: The Social
Learning Theory says that people can learn
by watching other people perform the
behavior.
