motivation
3. Motivation
• Process that account for an individual’s
intensity, direction and persistence of effort
toward attaining a goal.
• The forces acting upon or within a person
that cause that person to behave in a specific,
goal-directed manner.
• A psychological process that gives purpose
and direction to behavior.
• Motivation Ability = Performance
M A=P
5. Definition
• Defined as the psychological forces within
a person that determine:
1) direction of behavior in an organization;
2) the effort or how hard people work;
3) the persistence displayed in meeting goals.
– Intrinsic Motivation: behavior performed for
its own sake.
• Motivation comes from performing the work.
– Extrinsic Motivation: behavior performed to
acquire rewards.
• Motivation source is the consequence of an action.
8. 1) Maslow Hierarchy of
needs
• Founded by Abraham Maslow
• He stated that people possess a set of five
needs in them.
• Any deprived need will dominate the
attention of people and will determine
their attitude & behavior.
9. Hierarchy of Needs
Need Level Description Examples
Self- Realize one’s Use abilities
Actualization full potential to the fullest
Feel good Promotions
Esteem
about oneself & recognition
Social Interpersonal
Belongingness
interaction, love relations, parties
Job security,
Safety Security, stability
health insurance
Food, water, Basic pay level
Physiological
shelter to buy items
Lower level needs must be satisfied before higher needs are
addressed.
10. 2) Herzberg - Factor Theory
Theory assume there are two group of
factors;
• Motivators account for high level of job
satisfaction and motivation
• Hygiene factors can cause dissatisfaction
with work.
11. MOTIVATERS HYGIENE FACTORS
(Lead to job (Lead to job
satisfaction) Dissatisfaction)
ACHIEVEMENT INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIP
RECOGNITON COMPANY POLICY/
ADMINISTRATION
WORK ITSELF SUPERVISION
RESPONSIBILITY SALARY
ADVANCEMENT WORKING CONDITION
12. 3) David McLelland Acquired
• Proposed that people develop a profile of
needs that influence behavior.
• These needs are learned through life
experiences.
• Employees with high achievement needs
enjoy challenges and strive in stimulating
environment.
13. Needs Elaboration
1 Need for -A person’s desire to be
achievement independent, to accomplish
complex tasks & to resolve
problems.
2 Need for -A person’s desire to influence &
power control behavior in others, to
complete and to exercise authority.
3 Need for -A person’s desire to associate with
affiliation others. To form friendly relationship
and to avoid conflict.
15. 1) Expectancy Theory
• Developed by Victor Vroom and is a very
popular theory of work motivation.
• Vroom suggests that motivation will be
high when workers feel:
– High levels of effort lead to high
performance.
– High performance will lead to the
attainment of desire outcomes.
• Consists of three areas:
– Expectancy, Instrumentality, & Valence.
16. Expectancy, Instrumentality, & Valence

Motivation
18. 2) Equity Theory
Considers worker’s perceptions of the fairness of
work outcomes in proportion to their inputs.
• Adams notes it is the relative rather than the
absolute level of outcomes a person receives.
– The Outcome/input ratio is compared by
worker with another person called a
referent.
– The referent is perceived as similar to the
worker.
19. Equity Theory
Equity exists when a person perceives
their outcome/input ratio to be equal to
the referent’s ratio.
–If the referent receives more
outcomes, they should also give
more inputs to achieve equity.
20. ADAM’S EQUITY THEORY

* Person A is the employee, and Person B is a relevant other or referent
21. 3) Reinforcement theory
Based on the idea that people learn to repeat
behaviors that are positively rewarded (reinforced)
and avoid behaviors that are punished (not
reinforced).
Application of reinforcement theory (also called
behavior modification) involves changing one’s
own behavior or the behavior of another.
Managers should reward desirable employee
behavior (e.g., high performance) and punish
behavior (e.g., poor performance) that is not.
25. 4) Goal Setting Theory
– A process intended to increase efficiency
and effectiveness by specifying the
desired outcomes toward which
individuals, groups, departments, and
organizations work.
