2. Codify the best method into rules.
3. Choose workers whose skill matches the rules.
4. Establish a fair level of performance and pay.

*TIME-MOTION STUDIES
• Time-Motion Studies: Studies of which tasks must be performed to complete a job and the time needed to do each task.
• Led to the development of the Principle of Motion Economy: Every job can be broken down into a series of elementary motions; developed by Frank and Lillian Gilbreth.

*HAWTHORNE STUDIES: PURPOSE AND RESULTS
• Researchers studied worker efficiency under different levels of light. (Elton Mayo, Harvard)
• Productivity increased regardless of light condition.
LG2
Elton Mayo and the Hawthorne Studies
• Researchers decided it was a human or psychological factor at play.
• Hawthorne Effect: People act differently when they know they are being studied.

*MASLOW’S
THEORY of MOTIVATION
• Hierarchy of Needs: Theory of motivation based on unmet human needs from basic physiological needs to safety, social and esteem needs to self-actualization needs.
• Needs that have already been met do not motivate.
• If a need is filled, another higher-level need emerges.

*HERZBERG’S
MOTIVATING FACTORS
• Herzberg’s research centered on two questions:
LG4
Herzberg’s Motivating Factors
- What factors controlled by managers are most effective in increasing worker motivation?
- How do workers rank job-related factors in order of importance related to motivation?
10-10
*
*JOB CONTENT
• Herzberg: Found that job content factors were most important to workers. Workers like to feel they contribute to the company.
• Motivators: Job factors that cause employees to be productive and that give them satisfaction.
LG4
Herzberg’s Motivating Factors

*JOB ENVIRONMENT
• Job environment factors maintained satisfaction but did not motivate employees.
• Hygiene Factors: Job factors that can cause dissatisfaction if missing but that do not necessarily motivate employees if increased.

*THEORY X and THEORY Y
• Douglas McGregor proposed managers had two different sets of assumptions concerning workers.
• Their attitudes about motivating workers was tied to these assumptions.
• McGregor called them Theory X and Theory Y.
LG5
McGregor’s Theory X and Theory Y
10-15
*
*ASSUMPTIONS of
THEORY X MANAGERS
• Workers dislike work and seek to avoid it.
• Workers must be forced or threatened with punishment to get them to perform.
• Workers prefer to be directed and avoid responsibility
• Only effective motivators are fear and money.
LG5
McGregor’s Theory X and Theory Y
10-16
*
*ASSUMPTIONS of
THEORY Y MANAGERS
• People like work, it’s a part of life.
• Workers seek goals they are committed toward.
• Commitment to goals depends on perceived rewards.
• People can use creativity to solve problems.
• Intellectual capacity is only partially realized.
• People are motivated by a variety of rewards.
LG5
McGregor’s Theory X and Theory Y
10-17
*
*GOAL-SETTING THEORY
• Goal-Setting Theory: Setting ambitious, but attainable goals can motivate workers and improve performance if the goals are accepted, accompanied by feedback, and facilitated.
• Management by Objectives (MBO): Involves a cycle of discussion, review and evaluation of objectives among top and middle-level managers, supervisors and employees.
• Managers formulate goals in cooperation with everyone. Monitor results and reward achievement.

*EXPECTANCY THEORY in
MOTIVATION• Expectancy Theory: The amount of effort
employees exert on a specific task depends on their expectations of the outcome.
• Employees ask:• Can I accomplish the task?
• What’s my reward?
• Is the reward worth the effort?
• Expectations can vary from person to person.
