4 STUDIES OF THE HAWTHORNE STUDIES

Illumination Experiment- manipulated levels of lighting and the duration of work breaks, but wasn’t caused by the light but rather the fact that the workers were being observedRATR supervisor: experiment, people like to work in small groups BWOR observation:Interviews

treat people like they matter, we should be concerned with workers’ positivity, Maslow

I/O Hiearchy of Needs Application

Physiological: money Safety: benefits/training Social: gym, clubs, caf, etc. newsletter Esteem: recognition, admiration- feeling special Self-actualization: very few people actually reach this state

SATIATION

“A need that is satisfied no longer motivates.”

Wahba

did the 1st meta-analysis of Maslow and found that the 5 needs seemed more simultaneous, critique

Herzberg

2 factor theory, hygiene factors, motivating factors

TWO FACTOR THEORY

states that 2 factors- motivators and hygienes- are important in determining worker satisfaction

motivators

elements related to job content that when present, lead to job satisfaction, ex. level of performance associated with each job, chances for advancement

hygienes

elements related to job content that when absent, cause job dissatisfaction, base salary, benefits, conditions

Criticism of Herzberg's 2 factor theory

Theory has been criticized b/c subsequent research did not find presence of the two factors, hygienes and motivators can also not be clearly distinguished always, did help spark job enrichment

as generated a lot of research, indicate support as a motivational technique

Equity theory of Motivation

J. Stacey Adams, states that workers are motivated by a desire to be treated equitably or fairly, If they perceive they are being treated fairly- they will maintain motivation, if not they will try to reduce the inequity, the worker brings certain INPUT (elements they invest in the job such as experience and effort) and expects certain OUTPUT (expectations from job such as pay and recognition)

comparison others

persons used as a basis for making judgements of equity/inequity

underpayment inequity

workers perception that inputs are greater than outputs

overpayment inequity

workers perception that outputs are greater than inputs

global approach

views job satisfaction as an overall construct- is the employee satisfied overall?, pro: even single-item job satisfaction assessments are generally accurate

facet approach

views job satisfaction as made up of individual elements or facets, assumes they might be satisfied with some facets and not satisfied with others, pro: more detailed insight, also might be variation in terms of which workers value which facets

3 ways to measure job satisfaction

1. Employee Attitude Surveys


2. Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire


3. JOB DESCRIPTIVE INDEX

Employee Attitude Surveys

problem of self-report (unintentionally/intentionally not telling the truth), response bias: all neg. or all pos. answers, not understanding all the questions, difficult to interpret- what are you measuring against?

selection

Blake & mouton

grid

People can learn/ be trained to be a leader Blake & Mouton grid: Team manager (9,9) is ideal because he focuses on employees AND production You don’t look for people, you use people existing within the organization

Situational theory

leader sizes it up and determines how they should behave

Tannenbaum and Schmidt

situational, believe leaders should be flexible

Leader-Match

Fred Fiedler’s Model correlation between authoritarian leader and output and democratic leader and output Sometimes, both are the more effective options

3 situational variables for either authoritarian or authoritative models (part of Fiedler’s model)

members- relationship: good/relationship, relationship between the leader and member, measured by having members rate their loyalty to leadertask structure- high/low, how well elements of the work task are structured, how well-defined the goals are, whether the output can be easily evaluated position power: a leader’s authority to punish or reward followers, strong/weak and outlined usually in company guidelines

According to Fiedler...

leaders are either task oriented or relationship oriented

Behavioral approach

measuring actual behavior, ex. how do coupons stimulate sales?

Who studied pupilometry?

Krugmann

Pupilometry

– value of eye cameras / pupil dilation in advertising. If something is boring the eye pupil constricts. If we are interested the eye pupil dilates. It is useful because it is unconscious and involuntary.

Segmentation

dentifying individual differences between consumers to use for marketing -- bridges marketing + advertising.
