Higher-level needs described in harrisburg's two-factor theory. Harrisburg proposed that meeting such needs resulted in the expenditure of efforts as well as satisfaction. |
Motivator needs |
|
Theory that proposes that behavior depends on three simple elements: Stimulus, response, was that if a response in the presence of a particular stimuli is rewarded, that response is likely to occur again in the presence of that stimulus. |
Reinforcement theory |
|
A reward that depends on or is contingent on a particular response. |
Contingent reward |
|
A reward that is given for only some correct responses |
Intermittent reward |
|
A reward that is presented every time a correct response occurs.. |
Continuous Reward |
|
First formal work motivation Theory to suggest that people weighted options before choosing among them. Reasoned that if a worker put a path towards a personal goals, he or she would likely producer. |
Path-Goal Theory of motivation |
|
Motivation theory that assumes that individuals rationally estimate relative attractiveness and unattractiveness of different rewards are outcomes (valence), the probability that performance will lead to particular outcomes or Rewards (instrumentality), and the probability that effort will lead to Performance (expectancy). |
VIE theory |
|
The strength of a person's preference for a particular outcome. |
Valance |
|
the perceived relationship between performance and the attainment of a certain outcome. |
Instrumentality |
|
An individual's belief that a particular behavior will lead to higher performance. Such as a hard work. |
Expectancy |
|
If a manager wanted to apply VIE theory, he or she would concentrate on 3 things: |
1. Motivate employees by offering outcomes that have high valence. 2. Clarify instrumentalities by letting employees know that high performance is associated with positive outcomes. 3. Clarify expectancies by making it clear to employees that hard work will lead to higher performance. |
|
Theory suggested by festinger that observed that tension exists when individuals hold dissonant cognitions ( incompatible thoughts). This approach assumes that individuals always seek some sense of balance and that they will direct their behavior towards reducing the tension resulting from dissonant cognitions. |
Dissonance theory |
|
Motivational theory developed by atoms a 1965 that suggested that individuals look at their world in terms of comparative inputs and outcomes. And individuals compare their inputs and outcomes with others by developing an input/output ratio. |
Equity theory |
|
The training, efforts, skills, and abilities that employees bring to or invest in their work. |
