Includes training and development, performance appraisal and feedback, career planning, and change management
Focuses on the entire organization and culture, and is a proactive function

HRD is a more proactive function, focused on employee upskilling, succession planning, and coaching

Millennials and Gen Z/Zoomers value monetary rewards, career development, and work variety and challenges more than Boomers and Gen X
Zoomers emphasize skills development and good interpersonal relations more than Gen X
Workers from different generations value the same things at work, but in different priority orders

Work Behaviors Indicating Motivation

High-performance level is a key indicator of motivation
Exemplary attendance is a strong signal of motivation
Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) such as volunteering and helping others indicates motivation
Self-development initiative, including participating in training, accepting feedback, and seeking growth opportunities, shows motivation

Motivation Theories

Work motivation is an internal or external force that encourages action
Korman's Consistency Theory (1970, 1976) suggests a positive relationship between self-esteem and work performance
McClelland's Needs Theory (1961) proposes three needs: Achievement, Affiliation, and Power

Job Characteristics and Motivation

Job Characteristics Theory (Hackman and Oldham, 1976) suggests that a job with Skill Variety, Task Identification, and Task Significance has motivational potential

Human Needs Theories

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs (1970) suggests that people have different needs, including Self-actualization, Esteem, Belongingness, Safety, and Physiological needs
ERG Theory (Alderfer, 1972) proposes three levels: Existence, Relatedness, and Growth

Two-Factor Theory

Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory (1966) suggests that two factors are present simultaneously: Hygiene (job-related elements) and Motivators (job elements concerned with duties performed)

Goal Setting and Feedback

Goal setting can increase work motivation
SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) are more effective with feedback
Feedback can increase motivation and performance

Self-Regulation Theory

Employees are motivated by monitoring their own progress

Rewards and Motivation

Premack Principle: make workers perform low-probability behaviors by giving them high-probability behaviors
Forms of rewards: Financial, Non-monetary, and Social recognition
Individual-based rewards reduce social loafing but increase competition
Group-based rewards encourage social loafing

Expectancy Theory of Motivation

Motivation = Expectancy (Instrumentality x Valence)
Expectancy: efforts will attain high-level performance
Instrumentality: behavior results in particular consequence
Valence: rewards must be something the employee values

Rewards vs Punishment

Punishment reduces undesirable work behaviors
Helps in teaching new methods to break rules
Performance punishment (quiet promotion) rewards high-performing employees with more work with no additional compensation
