Need Theories
Need Theories view motivation as deriving from people’s desires for certain things.
There are three need theories:1. Need Hierarchy Theory
2. ERG Theory
3. Two-Factor Theory

Need Theories
ERG Theory Aldefer’s existence, relatedness, growth theory
focuses on three needs. According to Aldefer people can move back and
forth from one need to another.
Existence Relatedness Growth

Need Theories
Two-Factor Theory Herzberg’s two-factor theory states that
motivation comes from the job itself, not external rewards. Hygiene Factors- job aspects relevant to the
animal needs of human nature such as psychological needs
Motivator Factors- job aspects relevant to growth needs such as recognition.

Reinforcement Theory
This theory describes how rewards can affect behavior.
Law of effect- states that probability of a particular behavior increases if it is followed by a reward.
Rewards can be tangible (money) or intangible (praise).

Expectancy Theory
This theory attempts explain how rewards lead to behavior by focusing on internal cognitive states that lead to motivation .
Vroom’s theory has been adapted to the I/O field. Vroom’s theory explains motivation as a math function
of expectancy, valence, and instrumentalities. Force = Expectancy x (Valence x Instrumentalities)

Self- Efficacy Theory
This theory states that motivation and performance is determined by how effective people believe they can be. High self-efficacy = people believe that they are capable
of accomplishing a task and will be motivated put forth effort
Low self-efficacy = people don’t believe they can do the job and they are not motivated to put forth effort.

Equity Theory
States that people are motivated to achieve a condition of fairness in their dealings with other people and with organizations.
This theory specifies conditions under which inequity will occur and how employees will react.
Employees will evaluate how much they receive from the job (outcomes) in relation to their contributions( inputs) Outcomes/ Inputs
Inequity occurs when employees feel as if his/her ratio is different from others

Goal-Setting Theory
Basic principle states that people’s behavior is motivated by their internal intentions, goals, or objectives
Goal is what a person consciously wants to attain or achieve
![Page 13: Theories of Employee Motivation Dionne Roberson Chapter 8](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081816/56649d955503460f94a7db82/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Goal-Setting Theory
Goals Affect behavior in 4 ways: 1. Direct Attention and action to behaviors that the
person believes will achieve the goal.2. Mobilize effort in that the person tries harder3. Increase persistence, resulting in more time spent
on the behaviors necessary for goal attainment4. Motivate the search for effective strategies to
attain them.

Action Theory
This theory states that work motivation theories should focus mainly on goal-oriented or or voluntary behaviors called actions. Action process- linking a hierarchy of cognitions
to both actions and feedback from the environment
Desire for something
Goal Development
Plan Generation
Plan Execution
Feedback
