- Simple theory, questioned whether the steps are sequential.
Alderfer's ERG Theory
- Existence, Relatedness, and Growth needs can occur simultaneously unlike Maslow's Hierarchy.
- Individuals are motivated across different levels at the same time, with priorities moving.
- These needs can move up and down during the course of time.
McGregor's Theory X and Theory Y
- Douglas McGregor suggests two contrasting views of employees.
- Theory X: People are inherently lazy and need to be coerced and controlled.
- Theory Y: People are inherently motivated and interested in their work; they want responsibility.
Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory
- Frederick Herzberg investigated job satisfaction and dissatisfaction.
- Proposed that satisfaction and dissatisfaction are not opposite ends of a continuum.
- Dissatisfaction is caused by hygiene factors (e.g., company policies, supervision).
- Satisfaction comes from motivators (e.g., achievement, recognition).
- Improving hygiene factors only reduces dissatisfaction; it won't improve employee performance

- Goals that are too ambitious can lead to riskier behavior and undermine performance when complex competencies are missing.
- No direct evidence shows that goal setting directly improves overall job satisfaction, it is complex.
Reinforcement Theory
- Individual behavior is determined by its consequences.
- Positive consequences (rewards) increase the likelihood of repeating the behavior.
- Negative consequences (punishments) reduce the likelihood of repeating the behavior.
- Theory ignores internal state of the individual, focusing on external environment.
Vroom's Expectancy Theory
- Motivation is a function of expectancy, instrumentality, and valence.
- Expectancy: The belief that effort will lead to performance.
- Instrumentality: The belief that performance will lead to a reward.
- Valence: The value or desirability of the reward.
- Employee motivation depends on whether a desired outcome is tied to their effort and performance.
Advantages and Limitations of Expectancy Theory
- Advantages: Useful framework for understanding the factors driving employee motivation, emphasis on self-interest and achievement of satisfaction.
- Limitations: Simple correlation between expectations and outcomes, idealistically presented because not always a perfect positive correlation, many factors influence a person and their performance.
Adams' Equity Theory of Motivation
- Employees are motivated by a sense of fairness and equity in the workplace, compares their compensation to fellow workers.
- Motivation is affected by the perceived ratio of inputs (e.g., effort, skill) to outputs(e.g., salary, recognition).
