“Motivation means a process of stimulating people to action to accomplish desired goals.”
- William Scott- As against this, McFarland has defined it as
follows:- “ Motivation refers to the way urges, drives,
desires, aspirations, strivings, needs direct, control or explain the behavior of human beings.”
Definitions of Motivation
The psychological Process of Motivation An unsatisfied need creates tension that
stimulates drives with in individuals. These drives generate a search behavior to find particular goals that , if attained, will satisfy the need and lead to the reduction of tension.

Motivational Approaches
Major theme is to Satisfy needs to change behavior.
Maslow’s hierarchy of needs
Alderfer’s ERG theory

Unsatisfied need drives towards the behavior
Satisfied need is no longer working as a motivational factor
Lower level needs should be fulfilled to raise the higher level needs
Principles of needs theory
Existence Needs Relatedness Needs Growth Needs
ERG Theory ( By Clayton Alderfer)
Characteristics of Goals
Goals should be specific Goals should be attainable but challenging Goals require commitment Goals require feedback

Need for achievementNeed for powerNeed for affiliation
Operant Approach Rewards Punishment Extinction
Situational Approach
1. Leadership practitioners need to clearly specify what behaviors are important.
2. Leadership practitioners need to determine if those behaviors are currently being punished, rewarded or ignored.
3. Leadership practitioners need to find out what followers actually find rewarding and punishing.
4. Leadership practitioners need to be wary of creating perceptions of inequity when administering individually tailored rewards.
5. Leadership practitioners should not limit themselves to administering organizationally sanctioned rewards and punishments.
Implementation of an Operant system
Empowerment having two key components.
For leaders to truly empower employees, they must delegate leadership and decision making down to the lowest level possible.
Secondly equipping followers with resources, knowledge and skills necessary to make good decisions.

1. Overall, I am satisfied with my job.2. I feel the workload is about equal for everyone in the
organization.3. My supervisor handles conflicts well.4. My pay and benefits are comparable to those in other
organizations.5. There is a real future for people in this organization.6. Exceptional performance is rewarded in this
organization.7. We have a good health care plan in this organization.8. In general, I am Satisfied with my life and where it is
going.
Typical Items on a satisfaction Questionnaire
Organizational JusticeDistributive Justice
Perceived fairness of the amount and allocation of rewards among individuals.
Procedural Justice
The perceived fairness of the process to determine the distribution of rewards.
Performance is a broader concept than motivation, as abilities, skills, group norms and the availability of resources can all affect followers’ levels of performance.
Job satisfaction is a set of attitudes that peoples have about work.
In motivational theories Maslow’s hierachy of neds and Alderfer’s existence-relatdeness-growth (ERG) theory assume that people are motivated to satisfy a universal set of needs.
Summary
The other next theories examined motivation in terms of individual differences, emphasizing a person’s intrinsic motivation to perform a particular task, their personal values or a person’s general level of achievement orientation.
Other theories of Goal setting , equity theory, self efficacy and expectancy theory examined motivation from a cognitive perspective.
Empowerment, operant approach examined motivation from a situational perspective.
Leadership practitioners likely will be more effective if they learn to recognize situation where various approaches or the insights particular to them, may be differently useful.
Leaders may also increases the satisfaction levels by giving followers more meaningful work and by treating them fairly.
Followers are more likely to have positive attitudes about work if they believe that what they do is important and that the reward and disciplinary systems are fair and just.
