Comparison Points – Internal – External

Equity = Satisfaction Inequity = Dissatisfaction

Equity theory and the role of social comparison.

How do others react to inequity?

Expectancy Model

Motivation is a function of

M= E x I x V BD Vroom 1.

E= expectation (Effort = Performance link)

effort will lead to successful performance of the task

1.

I = Instrumentality (Performance = Reward link)

confidence that performance will lead to certain outcomes (rewards / punishment )

1.

V= Value/Valance (Utility-Attractiveness of the reward)

The value of the reward/outcome is meaningful

Any “0” value for E, I, V = Zero Motivation

Expectancy Theory of motivation.

Herzberg’s two-factor theory.

Job Satisfaction-concepts

Job satisfaction

– The degree to which an individual feels positively or negatively about various aspects of their work/position.

Content and Context matter

– Does the work have “meaning” and add value to the organization?

– conditions, tasks, equipment, opportunity, compensation, supervision… •

There is a Positive inverse Relationship between job satisfaction and absenteeism / turnover.

Job Characteristics Model: Core Job Dimensions 1. Skill variety The degree to which the job requires a variety of activities-worker uses different skills/talents 2. Task identity The degree to which the job requires completion of a whole/identifiable piece of work 3. Task significance The degree to which the job affects the lives or work of other people 4. Autonomy the job provides freedom, independence, and discretion to the individual 5.

Motivation

• Dan Pink Motivation Science vs. Practice • Career analyst Dan Pink examines the puzzle of motivation, starting with a fact that social scientists know but most managers don't: Traditional rewards aren't always as effective as we think. Listen for illuminating stories - and maybe, a way forward.

Motivation

“ One of the most widespread superstitions is that every man has special definite qualities: That a man is kind, cruel, wise, stupid, energetic, apathetic, etc.

Men are not like that ...men are like rivers ...every river narrows here, is more rapid there, here slower, there broader, now clear, now cold, now dull, now warm.

It is the same with men. Every man creates in himself the germs of every human quality and sometimes one manifests itself, sometimes another, and the man often becomes unlike himself, while still remaining the same man.”

Tolstoy
