4. Slide 15.4 Boddy, Management: An Introduction PowerPoints on the Web, 6 th edition © Pearson Education Limited 2014 Why study motivation? Adding value depends on motivating others. Understanding range of theories enables critical reflection and informed choice of approach.

10. Slide 15.10 Boddy, Management: An Introduction PowerPoints on the Web, 6 th edition © Pearson Education Limited 2014 Content theories What needs do people seek to satisfy at work? Maslow and Alderfer (Figure 15.4) –Maslow identified a hierarchy of needs As one level becomes partially satisfied, the next becomes stronger. –Alderfer tested Maslow’s theory empirically Combined into three, and no evidence of a hierarchy – strength varies between people. Both hard to test empirically –But see MIP feature – ‘A new manager at a nursing home’.

12. Slide 15.12 Boddy, Management: An Introduction PowerPoints on the Web, 6 th edition © Pearson Education Limited 2014 Herzberg’s contribution Linked ideas on motivation to practical issues of work design Extrinsic factors (hygiene) have less effect on motivation than intrinsic (motivators) Dealing with extrinsic factors may reduce dissatisfaction, but have no effect on satisfaction (Gamma Chemicals).

13. Slide 15.13 Boddy, Management: An Introduction PowerPoints on the Web, 6 th edition © Pearson Education Limited 2014 Douglas McGregor: Theory X and Theory Y? Every management action rests on theory Contrasting assumptions of Theory X and Theory Y. Those who see workers as Theory X have different policies (control, time recording and supervision) than those who hold Theory Y assumptions (responsibility, trust and initiative). Hofstede (Section 15.8) showed that assumptions about work vary between countries.

16.

Slide 15.19 Boddy, Management: An Introduction PowerPoints on the Web, 6 th edition © Pearson Education Limited 2014 Integrating themes Entrepreneurship Entrepreneurs tend to be motivated by a desire for independence, to pursue an idea and make money. Sustainability Depends on people being motivated to achieve this aim – see Lawler (2008) for ideas. Internationalisation Hofstede (1989) shows that cultures affect national motivation practices. Governance Executive bonuses that reward failure are a sign of weak governance.

20. Slide 15.20 Boddy, Management: An Introduction PowerPoints on the Web, 6 th edition © Pearson Education Limited 2014 Summary The psychological contract helps to understand the relationship between organisation and employee.

Work design theories link individual needs and organisational requirements.
