Motivation

Motivation refers to the initiation, direction, intensity and persistence of behavior (Geen, 1995). Motivation is a temporal and dynamic state that should not be confused with personality or emotion. Motivation is having the desire and willingness to do something. A motivated person can be reaching for a long-term goal such as becoming a professional writer or a more short-term goal like learning how to spell a particular word. Personality invariably refers to more or less permanent characteristics of an individual’s state of being (e.g., shy, extrovert, conscientious). As opposed to motivation, emotion refers to temporal states that do not immediately link to behavior (e.g., anger, grief, happiness).

 

Theory of motivation

There is various theory of motivation. Various experts define motivation in various ways. Here we will discuss about the early and contemporary theory of motivation.

Maslow’s theory

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is a theory in psychology that Abraham Maslow proposed in his 1943 paper A Theory of Human Motivation, which he subsequently extended to include his observations of man’s innate curiosity. His theory contends that as humans meet ‘basic needs’, they seek to satisfy successively ‘higher needs’ that occupy a set hierarchy. Maslow studied exemplary people such as Albert Einstein, Jane Addams, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Frederick Douglass rather than mentally ill or neurotic people, writing that “the study of crippled, stunted, immature, and unhealthy specimens can yield only a cripple psychology and a cripple philosophy.” Maslow also studied 1 percent of the healthiest college student population in order to obtain empirical research.

Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is often depicted as a pyramid consisting of five levels: the four lower levels are grouped together as deficiency needs associated with physiological needs, while the top level is termed growth needs associated with psychological needs. While deficiency needs must be met, growth needs are the need for personal growth. The basic concept is that the higher needs in this hierarchy only come into focus once all the needs that are lower down in the pyramid are mainly or entirely satisfied. Once an individual has moved past a level, those needs will no longer be prioritized. However, if a lower set of needs is continually unmet for an extended period of time, the individual will temporarily re-prioritize those needs – dropping down to that level until those lower needs are reasonably satisfied again. Innate growth forces constantly create upward movement in the hierarchy unless basic needs remain unmet indefinitely.

Two factor theory(Herzberg)

Frederick Herzberg, another well-known observer of management, developed a theory of motivation in his motivation-maintenance model.

Herzberg’s research indicates that two sets of factors affect how people behave in organizations. These two sets of factors are Maintenance and Motivation Factors.

Maintenance factors are those factors that prevent dissatisfaction but do not generate satisfaction or motivate workers to greater effort.

Motivation factors are those factors that provide satisfaction and therefore motivation, but whose absence causes no satisfaction.

Alderfer’s ERG theory

Alderfer classifies needs into three categories:

Growth need

  1. Relatedness needs
  2. Existence needs

Alderfer’s theory suggest that:

  1. Not every one is motivated by same thing.
  2. The needs hierarchy probably mirrors the organizational hierarchy to a certain extent.

 

Equity theory

Equity theory said that it is not the actual reward that motivate, but the perception, and the perception is based not on the reward in isolation, but in comparison with the efforts that went into getting it, and the reward and effort of others.

Reinforcement theory

It describes the effects of the consequence of a particular behavior on the future occurrence of the behavior. There are four types of Operant conditioning.

  1. Positive reinforcement.
  2. Negative reinforcement
  3. Extinction
  4. Punishment

 

Acquired needs theory

Some needs are acquired as a result of life experiences

  1. Needs for achievement, accomplish something difficult
  2. Needs for affiliation, from close personal relationship.
  3. Needs for power, control others.

Cognitive evaluation theory

This theory suggests that there are actually two motivation systems: intrinsic and extrinsic that corresponds to two kinds of motivators, Intrinsic motivators and extrinsic motivators.

Expectancy theory (Vroom):

Basically this theory comes down to this equation

Motivation= Expectancy*Instrumentality* Valence

Motivation methods

  • Empowerment
  • Creativity and innovation
  • Learning
  • Quality of life
  • Monetary incentive
  • Enhance persona fulfillment
  • Giving respect
