Motivational Quote
Motivation is a process that starts with a physiological or psychological need that activates a behavior or a drive that is aimed at a goal.
“Motivation is the act of stimulating someone or oneself to get desired course of action, to push right button to get desired reactions.”
Introduction
The term motivation can be traced to the latin word movere, which means “to move”.
It refers to the factors which move or activate the organism.
We infer the presence of motivation when we see that people work towards certain goals.

Elements of Motivation
Motivation is built on three basic elements:
1. Motivation starts with a need, vision, dream or desire to achieve the seemingly impossible. Creativity is associated with ideas, projects and goals, which can be considered a path to freedom.
Motivation is built on three basic elements:2. Develop a love-to-learn, become involved
with risky ventures and continually seek new opportunities. Success is based on learning what works and does not work.
3. Developing the ability to overcome barriers and to bounce back from discouragement or failure. Achievers learn to tolerate the agony of failure.
Motivation is built on three basic elements:

Types of Motivation
Seven Rules of Motivation
1. Set a major goal, but follow a path.
The path has mini goals that go in many directions. When you learn to succeed at mini goals, you will be motivated to challenge grand goals.
Seven Rules of Motivation
2. Finish what you start. A half finished project is of no use to anyone. Quitting is a habit. Develop the habit of finishing self-motivated projects.
Seven Rules of Motivation
3. Socialize with others of similar interest. Mutual support is motivating. We will develop the attitudes of our five best friends. If they are losers, we will be a loser. If they are winners, we will be a winner. To be a cowboy we must associate with cowboys.
Seven Rules of Motivation
4. Learn how to learn. Dependency on others for knowledge
supports the habit of procrastination. Man has the ability to learn without instructors. In fact, when we learn the art of self-education we will find, if not create, opportunity to find success beyond our wildest dreams.
Seven Rules of Motivation
5. Harmonize natural talent with interest that motivates. Natural talent creates motivation.
Motivation creates persistence Persistence gets the job done.
Seven Rules of Motivation
6. Increase knowledge of subjects that inspires.
The more we know about a subject, the more we want to learn about it. A self-propelled upward spiral develops.
Seven Rules of Motivation
7. Take risk. Failure and bouncing back are elements of motivation. Failure is a learning tool. No one has ever succeeded at anything worthwhile without a string of failures.
If you want to make your dreams come true, the first thing you have to do is wake up.

Providing training to the employees. Proper job placements. Proper promotions and transfers. Proper performance feed back. Proper welfare facilities. Flexible working hours.
Other Factors
Money fails to motivate people, when there is no direct relationship between reward and effort.
Economic conditions of people influence the Importance of money.
Money is a significant motivator at lower level of employees level however money may not be a significant factor for senior executives.
Social attitudes towards money and wealth also decides the motivation to earn more and more.
Money as a motivator
The best angle from which to approach any problem is the
try-angle.

Theories of Motivation
Scientific Management Theory
Considered money to be the main motivator for workers therefore scientifically investigate how jobs are done through ‘work study’.
Extreme division of labour Payment by results
(piecework) Tight management control Reduction in ‘unit costs’
His Philosophies of management was based on mutual interest between employees and employers. It has 4 Principles
The development of a true Science of Work The Scientific Selection and Progressive development
of the workman The Bringing Together of the science of work and the
scientifically selected and trained man The division of Work between Mangement and
employees
Principles of Scientific Management
Scientific Harmony Co-operation Maximum Output Greatest efficiency and Prosperity
Merits:
Boring and repetitive jobs
Lack of skills required leading to loss of skills in the workforce and also power for the workers.
Led to low morale amongst the workforce
Demerits
Principles of Human Relations Theory
Human relations theory is characterized by a shift in emphasis from TASK to WORKER
Go beyond physical contributions to include creative, cognitive, and emotional aspects of workers
Based on a more dyadic (two-way) conceptualization of communication.
SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS are at the heart of organizational behavior--effectiveness is contingent on the social well-being of workers
Workers communicate opinions, complaints, suggestions, and feelings to increase satisfaction and production
Origins (Hawthorne Studies & work of Chester Barnard) Human Relations School of Management - Elton Mayo
(Harvard
Origins of Human Relations Theory
“The Hawthorne Studies◦ Hawthorne Works of Western Electric Company◦ 1924 - Chicago◦ Research focus: Relation of quality and quantity of
illumination to efficiency in industry◦ Four Important Studies
“The Hawthorne Studies”
Illumination Study (November 1924)◦ Designed to test the effect of lighting intensity on worker productivity◦ Heuristic value: influence of human relations on work behavior
Relay Assembly Test Room Study (1927-1932)◦ Assembly of telephone relays (35 parts - 4 machine screws) ◦ Production and satisfaction increased regardless of IV manipulation◦ Workers’ increased production and satisfaction related to supervisory practices◦ Human interrelationships are important contributing factors to worker
productivity◦ Bottom Line: Supervisory practices increase employee morale AND productivity
Interviewing Program (1928-1930)◦ Investigate connection between supervisory practices and employee morale◦ Employees expressed their ideas and feelings (e.g., likes and dislikes)◦ Process more important than actual results
Bank Wiring Room Observation Study (November 1931 - May 1932)◦ Social groups can influence production and individual work behavior◦ RQ: How is social control manifested on the shop floor?◦ Informal organization constrains employee behavior within formal organizational
structure
Hawthorne Studies - Criticisms
Not conducted with the appropriate scientific rigor necessary
Subjects replaced with more “cooperative” participants

Maslow Theory Herzberg Theory McGregor’s XY Theory ERG Theory Equity Theory Performance satisfaction Model Theory
Content Theories
This theory was proposed by Abraham Maslow and is based on the assumption that people are motivated by a series of five universal needs. These needs are ranked, according to the order in which they influence human behavior, in hierarchical fashion
Maslow’s Hierarchy Theory
Lower order ( External ) : Physiological and safety needs Higher order ( Internal ) : Social, Esteem, and Self-actualization
MOTIVATIONAL FACTORSMotivational factors are directly to job content itself, the individuals performance of it , its responsibilities and the growth an recognition obtained from it.
HERZBERG
Herzberg's Two Factor Theory, also known as the Motivation-Hygiene Theory, was derived from a study designed to test the concept that people have two sets of needs.
their needs as animals to avoid pain their needs as humans to grow psychologically
Two-factor Theory:
Motivation-Hygiene Theory
SATISFACTION (MOTIVATION)
DISSATISFACTION (HYGIENE)
achievement recognition work itself responsibility advancement
company policy administrative policies supervision salary interpersonal relations working conditions
Process in Theory
McGregor’s Theory
• McGregor looked at the way in which employers and employees traditionally viewed work – The employer paid the money and gave instructions, and the worker did the job without asking questions (THEORY X)
DOUGHLAS McGREGOR
Douglas McGregor observed two diametrically opposing view points of managers about their employees.
one is negative called “Theory of X” one is positive called “Theory of Y”
Theory of “X” and Theory of “Y”
Employees dislike work; if possible avoid the same Employees must be coerced, controlled or threatened
to do the work Employees avoid responsibilities and seek formal
direction Most employees consider security of job, most
important of all other factors in the job and have very little ambition
X Theory
Employees love work as play or rest Employees are self directed and self controlled and
committed to the organizational objectives Employees accept and seek responsibilities Innovative spirit is not confined to managers alone,
some employees also possess it.
Y-Theory
About a hundred years ago, a man looked at the
morning newspaper and to his surprise and horror, read his name in the obituary column. The news papers had reported the death of the wrong person by mistake. His first response was shock. Am I here or there? When he regained his composure, his second thought was to find out what people had said about him.
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE REMEMBERED?
The obituary read, "Dynamite King Dies." And also "He was the merchant of death." This man was the inventor of dynamite and when he read the words "merchant of death," he asked himself a question, "Is this how I am going to be remembered?" He got in touch with his feelings and decided that this was not the way he wanted to be remembered. From that day on, he started working toward peace. His name was Alfred Nobel and he is remembered today by the great Nobel Prize.
Just as Alfred Nobel got in touch with his feelings and redefined his values, we should step back and do the same.
What is your legacy? How would you like to be remembered? Will you be spoken well of? Will you be remembered with love and respect? Will you be missed?
A man was traveling and stopped at an intersection. He asked an elderly man, "Where does this road take me?" The elderly person asked, "Where do you want to go?" The man replied, "I don't know." The elderly person said, "Then take any road. What difference does it make?"
How true. When we don't know where we are going, any road will take us there.
Why are Goals Important?
I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it.
Motivational Quote
Alderfer's Hierarchy of Motivational Needs(ERG Theory) Clayton Alderfer reworked
Maslow's Need Hierarchy to align it more closely with empirical research.
Alderfer's theory is called the ERG theory -- Existence, Relatedness, and Growth.
Existence refers to our concern with basic material existence requirements; what Maslow called physiological and safety needs.
Relatedness refers to the desire we have for maintaining interpersonal relationships; similar to Maslow's social/love need, and the external component of his esteem need.
Growth refers to an intrinsic desire for personal development; the intrinsic component of Maslow's esteem need, and self-actualization
Alderfer also deals with frustration-regression & satisfaction-progression. That is, if a higher-order need is frustrated, an individual then seeks to increase the satisfaction of a lower-order need.
ERG Theory
LEVEL OF NEEDS
DEFINITION PROPERTIES
Growth Impel a person to make creative or productive effects on himself and his environment
Satisfied through using capabilities in engaging problems; creates a greater sense of wholeness and fullness as a human being
Relatedness Involve relationships with significant others
Satisfied by mutually sharing thoughts and feelings; acceptance, confirmation, under- standing, and influence are elements
Existence Includes all of the various forms of material and psychological desires
When divided among people one person's gain is another's loss if resources are limited
This theory of motivation centres around the principle of balance or equity.
According to this theory level of motivation in an individual is related to his or her perception of equity and farness practiced by management.
Greater the fairness perceived higher the motivation and vice versa.
Equity Theory
lawler
Person’s output > Other’s output = Overpaid inequity Person’s Input Other’s input
Person’s output < Other’s output = Underpaid inequity Person’s input Other’s input
Person’s output = Other’s output = Equity Person’s input Other’s input
Relationship In Equity theory
Job Satisfaction is the amount of pleasure or contentment associated with a job.
If you kike your job intensely, you will experience high job satisfaction
If you dislike, you will experience job dissatisfaction
Job Satisfaction Model
Performance Satisfaction Model
Higher efficiency Reduce absenteeism. Reduces employee turn over. Improves a corporate image. Good relations. Improved morale. Reduced wastages and breakages. Reduced accidents. Facilitates initiative and innovation.
Importance of Motivational Theories
The manager of A.B.C.Ltd. Realised that the level of moral and motivation of their employees was very low and there was dissatisfaction among the employees. Labour productivity was also found to be very low. After investigating the causes of dissatisfaction, the managers decided that if employees were to be motivated, there was a need to establish and maintain good interpersonal relation, over and above good salary, job security, proper working conditions and supervision
Case Study
So they put in sincere efforts to improve all these factors during one year. Yet, surprisingly, they came to know that in spite of reduction in the degree of dissatisfaction, the level of morale and motivation was low and there was no significant increase in their productivity. Therefore, the managers are worried.
