Motivation
Motivation describes the factors within individuals that arouse, maintain and channel behaviour towards a goal.

Taylor

Maslow

Maslow believed human needs are split into five types - a hierarchy of needs with the highest level needs at the top. Individuals need to meet basic needs before moving up the hierarchy

Maslow
1. Physiological- wage, salaries and working conditions

2. Safety- security (safe job), other benefits eg sick


pay and safe working conditions 3. Social- team working and other functions that aim at building a bond within the workforce 4. Esteem- positive feedback and chances for promotion 5. Self- actualization- creating challenges and tasks that are stimulating

Herzberg
According to Herzberg motivating factors are split into two groups: 1. Hygiene factors- salary and security. Improving these lowers dissatisfaction but doesn't improve motivation or satisfaction 2. Motivators- recognition, responsibility, work itself, achievement, advancement these lead to increased motivation In reality most managers are trying to maximize the beneficial aspects and minimize those facts which de-motivate workers.

Mayo

Performance Related Pay (PRP)

Sometimes employees pay is linked to the achievement of targets at work Targets may be sales targets or performance appraisal

Criticisms of PRP

Many employees see this as unfair as can be based on an appraisal interview Lots of businesses dont put sufficient money aside so employees only get a small bonus

Developments in PRP

Increasingly firms are using a system called Variable pay This a flexible type of PRP which offers employees a highly individual pay system related to their performance

Higher rewards for star performers

Profit Sharing
