•Content Theories of Motivation
Hierarchy of Needs Theory
– lower order and higher order needs affect
behavior
• deficit principle
– a satisfied need is not a motivator of behavior
• progression principle
– a need at one level does not become activated until the
next lower need is satisfied
Schermerhorn - Chapter 14
8
•Content Theories of Motivation
ERG Theory
– Alderfer’s three needs
• existence - physiological and material well-being
• relatedness - satisfying interpersonal relationships
• growth - continued psychological growth and development
– any/all needs can influence behavior at one time
– frustration-regression principle
• already satisfied need can influence behavior when a higher
need cannot be satisfied
Schermerhorn - Chapter 14
9
•Content Theories of Motivation
Two-Factor Theory
– Herzberg
• satisfier factors (job content)
– things related to the nature of the job itself
– source of job satisfaction and motivation
• hygiene factors (job context)
– things related more to the work setting
– source of job dissatisfaction
Schermerhorn - Chapter 14
10
Content Theories of Motivation
Acquired Needs Theory
– McClelland
• Need for Achievement (nAch)
– desire to do something better, solve problems, master
complex tasks
• Need for Power (nPower)
– desire to control, influence, or be responsible for others
• Need for Affiliation (nAff)
– desire to establish and maintain friendly relations with
others
Schermerhorn - Chapter 14
11
Content Theories of Motivation
Acquired Needs Theory (con’t)
– People develop these needs over time
– Each need is associated with a distinct set of
work preferences
• managers are encouraged to recognize the strength
of each need within themselves and others
• create work environments responsive to the strength
of each need
Schermerhorn - Chapter 14
12
Content Theories of Motivation
Acquired Needs Theory (con’t)
– Workers high in (nAch) prefer
• individual responsibility for results
• achievable but challenging goals
• feedback on performance
Schermerhorn - Chapter 14
13
Content Theories of Motivation
Acquired Needs Theory (con’t)
– Workers high in (nPower) prefer
• control over other people
• to have an impact on people and events
• to bring public recognition and attention
Schermerhorn - Chapter 14
14
Content Theories of Motivation
Acquired Needs Theory (con’t)
– Two types of power
• personal
– manipulation for personal gratification
• social
– directed towards group or organizational objectives
Schermerhorn - Chapter 14
15
Process Theories of Motivation
Equity Theory
– Adams
• perceived inequity is a motivating state
• people are motivated to restore equity
– change
» work inputs
» rewards received
» comparison points
» situation
Schermerhorn - Chapter 14
16
Process Theories of Motivation
Equity Theory (con’t)
– Pay is a common source of equity controversy
• gender equity
– women earn an average of 75% of what men earn
• comparable worth
– jobs of similar value based on required education, training,
and skills should receive similar pay
Schermerhorn - Chapter 14
17
Process Theories of Motivation
Expectancy Theory
– Vroom
• expectancy - working hard will result in desired
level of performance
• instrumentality - successful performance will be
followed by rewards
• valence - value of rewards and other work related
outcomes
Schermerhorn - Chapter 14
18
Process Theories of Motivation
Expectancy Theory (con’t)
– Motivation (M), expectancy (E),
instrumentality (I), and valence (V) are related
to one another in a multiplicative fashion
M=ExIxV
– If either E, I or V is low, motivation will
be low!
Schermerhorn - Chapter 14
19
Process Theories of Motivation
Goal-Setting Theory
– Locke
• task goals can be motivating if
– properly set
– well managed
• goals clarify role expectations
Schermerhorn - Chapter 14
20
Process Theories of Motivation
Goal-Setting Theory (con’t)
– Management by Objectives (MBO)
• joint goal setting by managers and
employees
• participation option
– how to achieve goals instead of what the goals
are

24
Reinforcement Theory
of Motivation
Positive Reinforcement (con’t)
– Successful implementation is based on
• law of contingent reinforcement
– reward delivered only if desired behavior is
exhibited
• law of immediate reinforcement
– the more immediate the delivery of a reward, the
more reinforcement value it has
Schermerhorn - Chapter 14
25
Reinforcement Theory
of Motivation
Negative Reinforcement
– increases the frequency of desirable behavior
by making the avoidance of unpleasant
consequence possible
• example: nagging until a task is completed
Schermerhorn - Chapter 14

– eliminating undesired behavior by
administering an unpleasant consequence upon
the occurrence of that behavior
• example: docking pay for being late
Schermerhorn - Chapter 14
27
Reinforcement Theory
of Motivation
Extinction
– decreases the frequency of an undesirable
behavior by making the removal of a pleasant
consequence contingent on its occurrence
• example: stop giving social approval when someone
is disruptive
