8、f employees.Maslow put forward a theory that there are five levels of human needs which employees need to have fulfilled at work.All of the needs are structured into a hierarchy and only once a lower level of need has been fully met,would a worker be motivated by the opportunity of having the next n

15、ward the idea that workers are motivated mainly by pay.His Theory of Scientific Management argued that workers do not naturally enjoy work and so need close supervision and controlManagers should break down production into a series of small tasks Workers should then be given appropriate training and
16、 tools so they can work as efficiently as possible on one set task.He advocated Piece Rate Pay Henry Ford adopted Taylors approach,as it increases productivity and reduces unit costs.However workers soon came to dislike Taylors approach as they were only given boring,repetitive tasks to carry out an

23、erzberg/Maslow/Taylor?,Elton Mayo,Elton Mayo was the founder of the Human Relations MovementHe was initially a believer in Taylors Scientific Management having been lectured by him,The Hawthorne Experiments,These studies were carried out between 1924 and 1932 at a factory called the Hawthorne Works
24、owned and operated by Western Electric Company in Chicago Mayo and his team of researchers took a group of six women of the main factory as a control group and to allow easier observation.He tested his hypothesis that working conditions significantly affect the motivation of the workforce.He believe
25、d that the poor productivity must be the result of the environment,such as noise or poor lighting conditions.Starting with lighting conditions,Mayo and his team altered conditions of work in a number of ways over a five year period,and observed the effects on production and the morale of the control
26、 group.Over the period,changes such as new payment systems,rest breaks of different sorts and lengths,varying the length of the working day,and offering food and refreshments were tried.In almost all cases,productivity improved.At the end of the experiment,Mayo felt that he had proven his point and
27、closed it down,returning the women to their original conditions,a six day week,with long hours and no rest breaks or refreshments.Surprisingly,productivity in the group rose to their highest levels and Mayo had to rethink his conclusions.This effect became known as the Hawthorne Effect.,The control
28、group.,felt important because they had been singled out for attention.had developed good relationships amongst each other,which often extended outside of the workplace-they formed a close working group.felt empowered as they had been allowed to set their own work patterns.believed their relationship
29、s made for a much more pleasant working environment,which included the fact that the researchers were prepared to answer their questions.,Mayo concluded.,Mayo decided that work satisfaction must depend,to a large extent,upon the informal social relationships between workers in a group and upon the s
30、ocial relationships between workers and their bosses.The power of the working group(both formal and informal)should never be underestimated.,David McLelland,Over the years behavioural scientists have observed that some people have an intense need to achieve whereas others do not seem to be as concer
31、ned about achievement.This phenomenon fascinated David McClelland and for over twenty years he and his associates at Harvard University studied this urge to achieve.He was concerned more with differences between individuals than understanding common factors in motivations.,McClelland,Three needs tha
32、t influence Motivation.,Achievement(N-Ach)-the n-ach person is motivated primarily by achievement and is therefore looking for realistic goals and targets that they can achieve.They will be strongly motivated by a desire to progress and be promoted within the organisation.McClelland argued that n-ac
33、h is not inherited,but is determined by environmental influences.People with a high n-ach are likely to have a low level of n-aff.Affiliation(N-Aff)-the affiliation motivated person is driven by a need for social relationships and is driven by their interaction with other people.People with a high l
34、evel of n-aff are likely to be good team players.Authority and power(N-Pow)-people with a high need for authority and power are very driven by status.They want to lead and will want their ideas to prevail.They are likely to be motivated by personal status and prestige.,McLellands conclusions.,These
35、needs are present in all people but in varying intensityManagers should try to identify which of these needs workers have and allocate them tasks and roles appropriatelyThis should boost morale and productivity,Process Theories Vroom and Adams,Vrooms Expectancy Theory,Vroom first developed his expec
36、tancy theory in 1964This was later developed by Porter and Lawler in 1968,Expectancy Theory states,This theory states that workers will only act when they have a reasonable expectation that their work will lead to the desired outcome.They need to believe that they possess the necessary ability and s
37、kill to achieve the given goal.Expectancy theory predicts that employees in an organisation will be motivated when they believe that:putting in more effort will yield better job performancebetter job performance will lead to organisational rewards,such as an increase in salary or benefitsthese predi

42、d reasonableIndividuals,seek a fair balance between what we put into our job and what we get out of it.Adams calls these inputs and outputs.Individuals form perceptions of what constitutes a fair balance or trade of inputs and outputs by comparing their own situation with colleagues,friends and part
