Motivational Theories

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs

+ info

Taylor’s Theory (Scientific Management)

Frederick Taylor believed that workers are primarily motivated by money. His theory of scientific management advocates for breaking down tasks into smaller, simpler steps to increase efficiency. Taylor suggested that businesses should: Time and study tasks to determine the most efficient ways to perform them. Train workers to follow these methods precisely. Incentivize workers with pay based on output (piece rate system). Taylor argued that workers would be more productive if they were financially rewarded for their efforts, leading to increased profits for businesses. However, his theory often overlooked the human and social needs of employees.

Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory

Two-Factor Theory explains job satisfaction and dissatisfaction. It identifies two distinct sets of factors: motivators and hygiene factors. This theory has significantly impacted organizational behavior and human resource management.

AchievementEmployees feel satisfied when accomplishing challenging tasks. Recognition of these achievements further boosts motivation.Work NatureEngaging and meaningful work contributes to job satisfaction. Employees thrive when their tasks align with their interests and skills.Growth OpportunitiesChances for personal and professional development motivate employees. Career advancement prospects keep them engaged and committed.

Motivators: Driving Satisfaction and Engagement

Salary and BenefitsFair compensation prevents dissatisfaction but doesn't necessarily increase motivation. It's a baseline expectation for employees.Work EnvironmentSafe and comfortable working conditions are essential. Poor conditions can lead to dissatisfaction and decreased productivity.Job SecurityEmployees need to feel secure in their positions. Uncertainty about job stability can cause stress and dissatisfaction.Company PoliciesFair and transparent policies prevent dissatisfaction. They create a sense of equity and order in the workplace.
