Motivational Theories
:smiley:
Maslow

financial low level
, and
non-financial higher level

higher needs
in the hierarchy begin to emerge when people feel they have sufficiently satisfied
the previous need
.
Taylor

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
π°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

Hygiene Factors

The findings were based on a very small sample.
There is no objective way to measure employee satisfaction within the theory.
