Recent statistics about IT workforce:The total number of U.S. IT workers was more
than 10.1 million in December 2002, up from 9.9 million in January 2002
IT managers predict they will need to hire an additional 1.2 million workers in the near future
Hiring by non-IT companies outpaces hiring by IT companies by a ratio of 12:1

Psychologists and management theorists have devoted much research and thought to the field of managing people at work
Important areas related to project management includemotivation (intrinsic and extrinsic)influence and powereffectiveness

Motivation
11
Abraham Maslow developed a hierarchy of needs to illustrate his theory that people’s behaviors are guided by a sequence of needs
Maslow argued that humans possess unique qualities that enable them to make independent choices, thus giving them control of their destiny
![Page 12: 1 Week 10 Project Human Resource Management. Learning Objectives 2 Explain the importance of good human resource management on projects, especially on.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649e195503460f94b05e89/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Herzberg’s Motivational and Hygiene Factors
13
Frederick Herzberg wrote several famous books and articles about worker motivation. He distinguished betweenmotivational factors: achievement, recognition,
the work itself, responsibility, advancement, and growth, which produce job satisfaction
hygiene factors: cause dissatisfaction if not present, but do not motivate workers to do more. Examples include larger salaries, more supervision, and a more attractive work environment

McClelland’s Acquired-Needs Theory
-14
Specific needs are acquired or learned over time and shaped by life experiences, including:Achievement (nAch): Achievers like challenging
projects with achievable goals and lots of feedbackAffiliation (nAff): People with high nAff desire
harmonious relationships and need to feel accepted by others, so managers should try to create a cooperative work environment for them
Power: (nPow): People with a need for power desire either personal power (not good) or institutional power (good for the organization). Provide institutional power seekers with management opportunities

McGregor’s Theory X and Theory Y
15
Douglas McGregor popularized the human relations approach to management in the 1960s
Theory X: assumes workers dislike and avoid work, so managers must use coercion, threats, and various control schemes to get workers to meet objectives
Theory Y: assumes individuals consider work as natural as play or rest and enjoy the satisfaction of esteem and self-actualization needs
Theory Z: introduced in 1981 by William Ouchi and is based on the Japanese approach to motivating workers, emphasizing trust, quality, collective decision making, and cultural values

Staff Acquisition
28
Staffing plans and good hiring procedures are important in staff acquisition, as are incentives for recruiting and retention
Some companies give their employees one dollar for every hour a new person they helped hire works
Some organizations allow people to work from home as an incentive
Research shows that people leave their jobs because they don’t make a difference, don’t get proper recognition, aren’t learning anything new, don’t like their coworkers, and want to earn more money
