Hierarchy of Needs (Maslow,1954) |
Employees will meet basic needs (physiological, safety) before progressing to fill higher level needs (social, esteem, self-actualization). |
|
Operant Conditioning (Skinner, 1957) |

Expectancy Individual assessment on ability to successfully complete an assignment Instrumentality Will effort lead to reward? Valence Is the reward worth the effort? |
|
ERG Theory (Clayton, 1969) |
Builds on Maslow's Heirarchy, but allows for possibility that employees can work on multiple levels simultaneously vs. a necessary progression.
Existence Basic Life Needs Relatedness Social Needs Growth Self Esteem / Self Actualization |
