Intrinsic and Extrinsic
Needs and Rewards
• Intrinsic - Higher needs, Internal
Accomplishment, competence, fulfillment,
self-determination received from the process of
action
• Extrinsic - Lower needs, External
–Material comfort, safety, security given by another person
Content vs. Process Motivation
Theories
Content theories
explain why people have different needs at
different times
Process theories
describe the processes through which needs
are translated into behavior. Process theories
try to explain why and how people are
motivated.
Basic Model of Motivation
Needs Hierarchy Theory

SelfActualization
Esteem
Belongingness
Safety
Physiological
Maslow arranged five needs in
a hierarchy
Satisfaction-progression
process
People who experience selfactualization desire more
rather than less of this need
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
Acquired Needs Theory
by David McClelland
Need for Achievement -Desire to
accomplish something difficult, attain high
standards of success, master complex tasks,
surpass others
Need for Affiliation -Desire to form close
personal relationships and friendships, avoid
conflict
Need for Power -Desire to influence or
control others, be responsible and have
authority over others

Implications of Content Theories
Balance competition/cooperation by
rewarding individual achievement and
teamwork
Offer employees a choice of rewards
people have different needs at different
times
Support the drive to learn by
providing new learning opportunities
Don’t rely too much on financial
rewards
Key Elements of
Expectancy Theory
E -- P expectancy
Effort ----- Performance
P -- O expectancy
Performance ----- Outcomes
Valance - value of outcomes
(Pay, recognition, other rewards)
MOTIVATION
Will putting effort into the
task lead to the desired
performance?
Will high performance lead
to the desired outcome?
Are the available outcomes
highly valued?
Assumptions - Expectancy
Workers are motivated to receive positive
outcomes and avoid negative ones
Workers are rational, careful processors of
information
Workers can make choices about how they
behave, act, and how much effort they
exert
Expectancy Theory in Practice
Increasing the E-to-P expectancy
Increasing the P-to-O expectancy
training, selection, resources, clarify roles,
provide coaching and feedback
Measure performance accurately, explain how
rewards are based on past performance
Increasing outcome valences
Use valued rewards, individualize rewards,
minimize countervalent outcomes
Equity Defined
A State of psychological comfort
Exists when an individual’s input to
outcome ratio is equal to the ratio of the
comparison other
Elements of Equity Theory
Outcome/input ratio
Comparison other
inputs -- what employee contributes (e.g. skill)
outcomes -- what employees receive (e.g. pay)
person/people we compare ratio with
not easily identifiable
Equity evaluation
compare outcome/input ratio with
the comparison other
Overreward vs Underreward

Consequences of Inequity
Change inputs
Change outcomes
Change perceptions
Leave the field
Act on the comparison other
Change the comparison other
Equity Sensitivity
Benevolents
Equity Sensitives
Tolerant of being underrewarded
Want ratio to be equal to the
comparison other
Entitleds
Prefer receiving proportionately
more than others
Goals are Motivational
Because you can choose where you want
to go
You know exactly what to do
Can provide short and long term vision
Fosters planning and resource evaluation

Outcomes of Goal Setting
Greater productivity and sales
Improved performance
Improved self-confidence
Increases motivation to achieve
Increases pride and satisfaction
Helps reduce negative attitudes toward
work/increases morale
Research Suggests: Those who
use Goal Setting
Suffer less from stress and anxiety
Concentrate better
Show more self-confidence
Perform better
Are more satisfied with their jobs
Behavior Modification
We “operate” on the environment
Alter behavior to maximize positive and minimize
adverse consequences. Behavior is a function of its
consequences
Operant means voluntary or learned behavior as
opposed to reflexive or unlearned behavior
Law of effect
Likelihood that an operant behavior will be repeated
depends on its consequences
A-B-Cs of Behavior Modification
Antecedents
Behavior
Consequences
What happens
before behavior
What person
says or does
What happens
After behavior

Reinforcement Perspective
on Motivation
Positive Reinforcement – increase strength and
frequency of a behavior by providing something
pleasing
Negative Reinforcement – increase strength and
frequency of a behavior by the removal or avoidance of
a consequence (stop criticizing and good performance
results)
Punishment – decrease strength and frequency of a
behavior by giving the employee something displeasing
or taking away something pleasing
Extinction – decrease strength and frequency of a
behavior by providing no consequence

Ethical concerns about perceived

Organizationwide
Motivational Programs
Employee ownership - Psychological,
stock
Pay for knowledge - Skills possessed
Gainsharing - Teamwork
Pay for performance - Results
Job enrichment - High level, more tasks
