Hierarchy of Needs Theory (Maslow)
Hierarchy of Needs Theory
There is a hierarchy of five needs—physiological, safety, social, esteem, and self-actualization; as each need is substantially satisfied, the next need becomes dominant.
Theory X and Theory Y (Douglas McGregor)
Theory XAssumes that employees dislike work, lack ambition, avoid responsibility, and must be directed and coerced to perform.
Theory YAssumes that employees like work, seek responsibility, are capable of making decisions, and exercise self-direction and self-control when committed to a goal.
Two-Factor Theory (Frederick Herzberg)
Two-Factor (Motivators-Hygiene) Theory
Intrinsic factors are related to job satisfaction, while extrinsic factors are associated with dissatisfaction.
Factors leading to Job satisfaction are separate and distinct from those leading to Job dissatisfaction.
Hygiene Factors
Factors—such as company policy and administration, supervision, salary, relationship with seniors, peers and subordinates etc—that, when adequate in a job, placate workers. When factors are adequate, people will not be dissatisfied.Motivators
Factors—such as the work itself, achievement, recognition, promotions, responsibility, growth opportunities, salary etc – that when adequate in a job, leads to higher satisfaction level of the workers.
Contrasting Views of Satisfaction and Dissatisfaction
