Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory
Motivation Model
 Maintenance factors
 Extrinsic motivators
 Motivator factors
 Intrinsic motivators

 Achievement
 Power
 Affiliation

Equity theory

17
Equity Theory
 Proposes that people are motivated when
their perceived inputs equal outputs
18
Expanding Equity Theory:
Organizational Justice

Organizational justice reflects the extent
to which employees perceive they are
treated fairly at work



Procedural justice
Interactional Justice
Distributive justice
19
Motivating with Equity Theory
 Understand that equity is based on
perception, which may not be correct
 Rewards should be equitable
 High performance should be rewarded
 When incentive pay is used, ensure that
clear standards exist
20
Expectancy Theory
 Proposes that employees are motivated
when:
 They believe they can accomplish the task
 They will get the reward
 The rewards for doing so are worth the effort
21
Expectancy Theory Variables
 Expectancy is a person’s perception of his
or her ability to accomplish an objective
 Instrumentality is the belief that
successful performance will result in
receiving the reward
 Valence is the value a person places on
the outcome or reward
Motivation =
Expectancy × Instrumentality × Valence
22
Expectancy Theory
23
Motivating with Expectancy Theory
 Clearly define objectives and the required
performance to achieve them
 Tie performance to rewards
 Be sure rewards are of value to the
employee
 Make sure employees believe you will do
what you say you will do
 Use the Pygmalion effect to increase
expectations
24
Goal-Setting Theory
 Proposes that specific, challenging goals
motivate people
 Goals give people a sense of purpose as
to why they are working to accomplish a
given task

26
Reinforcement Theory
 Proposes that through the consequences
for behavior, people will be motivated to
behave in predetermined ways
 Uses:
 Behavior modification
 Operant conditioning
27
Types of Reinforcement
 Positive reinforcement
 Encourages continued behavior via attractive
consequences (rewards)
 Avoidance (negative) reinforcement
 Encourages desired behavior with negative
consequences for undesired behavior
28
Types of Reinforcement (cont.)
 Punishment
 Provides undesirable consequences for
undesirable behavior
 Extinction
 Often used with punishment to reduce or
eliminate undesirable behavior
 Reinforcement is withheld when undesirable
behavior is performed
 However, don’t ignore good performance
29
Schedules of Reinforcement
 Continuous reinforcement
 Each and every desired behavior is reinforced
 Intermittent reinforcement
 Based on passage of time or output
– Passage of time is called an interval schedule
– Output is called a ratio schedule

Motivating with Reinforcement

 Feedback and praise have a strong
impact on performance
 Can help develop a positive self-concept
in employees
 Can cause the Pygmalion effect
 Creates a win–win situation
 Takes only a little time
 Costs nothing
