Motivational Theories
:smiley:
Maslow
links to
financial low level
, and
non-financial higher level
Maslow believed the the reason people go to work
changes
.
He created a
Hierarchy
, which he believed people work up.
Social Needs
👪
Self-Esteem
🆓
Self Actualization
🏆
Safety Needs
🏠
Physiological Needs
👔
In this theory,
higher needs
in the hierarchy begin to emerge when people feel they have sufficiently satisfied
the previous need
.
Taylor
Taylor’s Scientific Management
attempts to find
the most efficient
way of performing any job.
Employees are incentivized to
work hard
to
earn more
, the business production is as efficient as possible, and profits are maximized.
a win-win situation
💰Taylor stressed
money
as the only motivator in the workplace.
It relates to
piece rate
, which means workers should be paid based on how much they produce.
But Taylor
did not
value the human needs of workers.:performing_arts:
His ideas became
less popular
after the
1960s
since the
piece-rate
system of payment was not always appropriate.
Herzberg
Motivators
Things which motivate
(e.g. the chance of promotion, recognition, achievement)
links to
job enrichment
Hygiene Factors
Things that prevent dissatisfaction
(e.g. pay, conditions, security)
🙅
Limitations
The theory focuses on improving employee satisfaction. That doesn’t necessarily translate into increased productivity.
The findings were based on a very small sample.
There is no objective way to measure employee satisfaction within the theory.
McGregor
:silhouette:
Theory X
the most appropriate leadership style:
Autocratic Leadership Style
people are naturally lazy & do not wish to take responsibility
🤔
Assumptions
pure work motivation consists of financial incentives
employees' tasks and how these should be executed must be laid down in detail
:beer_mugs:
Theory Y
Team Work Leadership
control, rewards and punishments are
not
the only ways to stimulate people
people are self-motivated and enjoy the challenge of work
🤔
Assumptions
workers can focus on the objectives they pursue through
self-direction
and
self-control
McGregor based his ideas on
Maslow's Hierarchy
Mayo
Mayo believed that both
social relationships
and
job content
affected job performance.
links to
autonomy with groups
&
job satisfaction
😄
👷♀️👷The conclusion was that workers are motivated by the way they interact with each other.
working in teams, within which they can make decisions
