8. The Intrinsic-Extrinsic Dichotomy Two sets of needs that motivate workers Motivational Factors (Intrinsic) Maintenance Factors (Extrinsic) Research on managers in Greece found that: People are motivated more by the nature of the work Dissatisfactions resulted from conditions surrounding the work
9. Motivating people An important role of a manager is to motivate the people working on a project. Motivation is a complex issue but it appears that their are different types of motivation based on: Basic needs (e.g. food, sleep, etc.); Personal needs (e.g. respect, self-esteem); Social needs (e.g. to be accepted as part of a group).
12. Humanistic Approaches Third force psychology Emphasis on personal choice Needs Self-actualization/Self-determination Maslow’s hierarchy
13. Cognitive Perspective Focus on thinking Emphasizes intrinsic motivation People are active and curious Plans, goals, schemas, and expectations
14. Cognitive Perspective Attribution theory Perceived cause of successes or failures Locus Stability Responsibility Attributions in the classroom Teacher actions influence student attributions Expectancy X Value Theory
16. Early Theories of Motivation Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory McGregor’s theory X and theory Y Herzberg’ motivation-hygiene theory
17. Maslow‘s Hierarchy of Needs Self- actualization self-development and realization 5 Esteem needs self-esteem, recognition 4 Social needs sense of belonging, love 3 Safety need security, protection 2 Physiological needs food, water, shelter 1
18. Need satisfaction Social Provide communal facilities; Allow informal communications. Esteem Recognition of achievements; Appropriate rewards. Self-realization Training - people want to learn more; Responsibility.
19. The Needs Hierarchy in the International Context How applicable are motivation theories proposed by Maslow and Herzberg in the international context? Haire, Ghiselli and Porter’s survey concluded that Maslow’s needs, in particular the upper-level ones, are important at the managerial level, although the managers reported that the degree to which their needs were fulfilled did not live up to their expectations. Ronen concluded that need clusters are constant across nationalities and that Maslow’s need hierarchy is confirmed by these clusters. Also, Herzberg’s categories are confirmed by the cross-national need clusters..
20. The Needs Hierarchy in the International Context Ronen’s need clusters Job goals, such as working area, work time, physical working conditions, fringe benefits, and job security; Relationships with co-workers and supervisors; and Work challenges and opportunities for using skills.
22. Herzberg’ Motivation-hygiene Theory Motivation-hygiene Theory assumes that intrinsic factors are related to job satisfaction and extrinsic factors are related to job dissatisfaction.
23. Motivators Hygiene factors Achievement Recognition Work itself Responsibility Advancement Growth Supervision Company policy Relationship with supervisor Working conditions Salary Relationship with peers Personal life Relationship with subordinates Status Security Extremely Satisfied Neutral Extremely Dissatisfied Herzberg’ Motivation-hygiene Theory
24. Traditional view Satisfaction Dissatisfaction Hygiene factors Motivators Satisfaction No satisfaction No dissatisfaction Dissatisfaction Herzberg’s View contrasting views of satisfaction-dissatisfaction
25. Theory X Theory X offered by McGregor assumes that employees dislike work, are lazy, seek to avoid responsibility, and must be coerced to perform. It is a negative view about people.
26. A manager who view employees from a Theory X perspective believes: Employees inherently dislike work and, whenever possible, will attempt to avoid it. Because employees dislike work, they must be coerced, controlled, or threatened with punishment to achieve desired goals. Employees will shirk responsibilities and seek formal direction whenever possible. Most works place security above all other factors associated with work and will display little ambition.
27. Theory Y Theory Y assumes that employees are creative, seek responsibility, and can exercise self-direction. It is a positive view about people.
28. A manager who view employees from a Theory Y perspective believes: Employees can view work as being as natural as rest or play Men and women will exercise self-direction and self-control if they are committed to the objectives The average person can learn to accept, even seek, responsibility The ability to make good decisions widely dispersed throughout the population and is not necessarily the sole province of managers.
29. Theories of Motivation Need Theory Expectancy Theory Equity Theory Procedural Justice Theory
31. Need for achievement: The drive to excel, to achieve in relation to a set of standards, to strive to succeed. Need for power: The need to make others behave in a way that they would not have behaved otherwise. Need for affiliation: The desire for friendly and close interpersonal relationships.
32. Equity Theory Outcomes Pay Fringe benefits Job satisfaction Status Opportunities for advancement Job security Inputs Special skills Training Education Work experience Effort on the job Time
33. Equity Theory Inputs lead to outcomes Objective level of outcomes does not determine work motivation Outcome/input ratio compared to ratio of referent others leads to work motivation
35. Equity Theory Propositions If paid according to time, overrewarded employees will produce more than equitably paid employees. If paid according to quantity of production, overrewarded employees will produce fewer but higher-quality units than equitably paid employees.
36. If paid according to time, underrewarded employees will produce less or poorer-quality output. If paid according to quantity of production, underrewarded employees will produce a large number of low-quality units in comparison with equitably paid employees.
37. Expectancy theory states that an individual tends to act in a certain way on the basis of the expectation that the act will be followed by a given outcome and the attractiveness of that outcome to the individual.
39. Individual performance Individual effort A B Individual goals Organizational reward C A =Effort-performance linkage =Performance-reward linkage B =Attractive C Simplified Expectancy Theory
40. JCM—five Core Job Dimensions Skill variety:the degree to which the job requires a variety of activities so the worker can use a number of different skills and talents Task identity:the degree to which the job requires completion of a whole and identifiable piece of work. Task significance:the degree to which the job affects the lives or work of other people.
41. Autonomy: the degree to which the job provides freedom, independence, and discretion to the individual in scheduling the work and in determining the procedures to be used in carrying it out. Feedback: the degree to which carrying out the work activities required by the job results in the individual’s obtaining direct and clear information about the effectiveness of his or her performance.
