Motivational Theorists
Taylor
First step is to select certain workers to complete a task and after observing the task and recording the time taken to do the task, identify the quickest method recorded. Then train the rest of the workers to learn this quick method and ensure this is the "best way" and it is being executed well. Pay the workers based on the results.
Maslow
pyramid
Self-actualisation: Reaching one's full potential; Opportunities to develop and apply new skills will increase potential if one challenges themselves,
Esteem needs: Respect from others, status and recognition of achievement.
Social needs: Trust, acceptance, friendship, belonging to the group and social facilities. Working in teams or groups and ensuring good communication to make workers feel involved.
Safety needs: Protection from threats, job security, health and safety at work. A structured organisation that gives clear lines of authority to reduce uncertainty. Ensuring health and safety conditions are met.
Physical needs: Food, shelter, water, rest. Income from employment high enough to meet essential needs.
Limitations
Not everyone has the same needs as is assumed by the hierarchy, Money is necessary to satisfy physical needs and self-actualization is never permanently achieved,
Herzberg
Hygiene factors: Parts of a job that do not increase job satisfaction but help to remove dissatisfaction, such as reasonable wages and working conditions.
Motivators: Factors that increase job satisfaction and motivation levels, such as praise, recognition and responsibility.
Limitations
Pay and working conditions can be improved and these will help to remove dissatisfaction about work, The motivators need to be in place for workers to be prepared to work willingly and to always give of their best.and A business could offer higher pay, improving working conditions and less heavy-handed supervision of work.
Pink
the idea that employees try to maintain equity between inputs and outputs compared to others in similar positions.
limitations
people become demotivated, seek change and improvement, and/or reduce input whenever they feel their inputs are not being fairly rewarded
If the worker puts in a lot of effort and then perceives herself as getting little out in return, she is going to become demotivated.
