Study Notes

Motivation Concepts

Motivation is the intensity, direction, and persistence of effort toward organizational goals. Intensity is the effort level, while direction ensures effort aligns with organizational goals. Persistence is maintaining effort until the goal is reached.
Early motivation theories include Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory, and McClelland's Theory of Needs. Each has limitations regarding validity.

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs

Maslow's hierarchy postulates a five-level need structure (physiological, safety, social, esteem, self-actualization). As needs are met, higher-level needs become dominant.
The hierarchy is often illustrated as a pyramid, but Maslow described it in terms of levels.

Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory

Herzberg's theory distinguishes between motivators (intrinsic factors like achievement, recognition) and hygiene factors (extrinsic factors like pay, company policy). Hygiene factors prevent dissatisfaction but don't motivate.
This theory hasn't been widely supported by all research.

McClelland's Theory of Needs

McClelland's theory identifies three needs: achievement (nAch), power (nPow), and affiliation (nAff). nAch is the drive to excel, nPow is the desire to influence others, and nAff is the need for close relationships.
High achievers perform best when their probability of success is moderate (50/50 chance).

Contemporary Motivation Theories

Contemporary theories like Self-Determination Theory, Goal-Setting Theory, Self-Efficacy Theory, Reinforcement Theory, and Expectancy Theory have stronger research support.

Self-Determination Theory

Self-determination theory posits that intrinsic motivation is more sustainable than extrinsic motivation.
Cognitive evaluation theory, a part of self-determination theory, says extrinsic rewards can decrease intrinsic motivation.
Self-concordance is how closely reasons for pursuing goals align with interests and values.
Intrinsic motivation leads to higher job satisfaction, better organizational fit, and potentially better performance, regardless of goal achievement. Those without intrinsic motivation can still perform.

Goal-Setting Theory

Goal-setting theory, by Edwin Locke, states that specific and difficult goals, with feedback, leads to higher performance.
Specific goals increase performance more than general goals.
Difficult goals, when accepted, lead to higher performance than easy goals. Feedback improves performance.
Personal factors including goal commitment, task characteristics, and national culture influence the strength of the goals-performance link.

Self-Efficacy Theory

Self-efficacy theory argues that a person's belief in their ability to perform a task is a major motivator.
Higher self-efficacy leads to more effort, less likely to give up on challenging tasks, and a positive feedback loop.
- Feedback influences self-efficacy.
- Self-efficacy can be boosted through enactive mastery, vicarious modeling, verbal persuasion, and arousal.
- Intelligence and personality contribute to self-efficacy.

Reinforcement Theory

Reinforcement theory argues that behavior is driven by its consequences.
Operant conditioning, a part of reinforcement theory, argues that behaviors followed by positive consequences are more likely to be repeated.
Behavior that's not rewarded or is punished is less likely to be repeated.
Social learning theory extends this by considering observational learning, focusing on how individuals perceive consequences of actions.

Expectancy Theory

Expectancy theory suggests motivation is driven by the perceived likelihood that effort will lead to performance, performance to rewards, and rewards to personal goals.
The three factors are expectancy (effort-performance), instrumentality (performance-reward), and valence (rewards-personal goals).

Equity/Organizational Justice

Equity theory suggests that employees compare their inputs and outcomes to others' and adjust their behavior accordingly.
Organizational justice encompasses distributive (fairness of outcomes), procedural (fairness of processes), informational (truthful explanations), and interactional (dignified treatment) justice.
Equity, distributive, and procedural justice are more linked to task performance.
Informational and interactional justice are more linked to citizenship behavior.

Job Engagement

Job engagement is the investment of physical, cognitive, and emotional energies into job performance.
Factors that increase engagement include the perceived meaningfulness of work, match between individual values and organizational values, and inspirational leadership.
- Job engagement can overlap with other factors like job satisfaction or stress, and have potential downsides like burnout.

Integrating Motivation Theories

A comprehensive motivation model integrates several theories, considering how effort, ability, perceived fairness (organizational justice), and goal setting interact with various outcomes.
Reward systems reinforce individual performance and play a crucial role in perceived justice. Also, individual factors including nAch affect how people respond to goals and rewards.

Implications for Managers

Carefully consider how extrinsic rewards are used to avoid decreasing intrinsic motivation (applying cognitive evaluation theory).
Set specific, difficult goals; provide feedback on progress. Align individual goals with organizational goals.
Model desired behaviors; a "Pygmalion effect" (positive self-fulfilling prophecy) can improve employee efficacy and results.
Ensure rewards are fairly distributed, and procedures appear fair (organizational justice) to prevent perceptions of inequities. Consider the impact of culturally diverse expectations of fairness in making resource allocation decisions.
