5C management and change Flashcards
what is the difference between leadership and management
Leadership involves developing ideas, sharing goals and connecting with employees on an emotional level
Management involves taking responsibility for and controlling ourselves, or our colleagues, teams or organisations
What is motivation?
Measure of a persons drive to initiate and persist in a given behaviour
ability alone is not sufficient to get the best out of employees. Motivation is therefore a key role of managers
change management- Implementation of change: name 2 motivation theories
- Maslows hierarchy of need
-Hertzbergs 2 factor theory
Change management- Implementation of change theories: motivation theories- Maslows hierarchy of need,what does it state?
One of the most widely employed managerial theories
It states that
- inly unsatisfied needs drive human behaviour
- human needs are ordered according to their importance and complexity
- in the long run people are only motivated by their higher level needs once their lower level needs have been satisfied (pre-potency)
- the higher up a person is in the hierarchy, the more they express their individuality, humanity and psychological health
- at the higher levels of the hierarchy respect and recognition become much more powerful motivators than financial reward
Change management- Implementation of change theories: motivational theories- what are the levels of the pyramid in Maslows hierarchy of need (and give business examples)
- SELF ACTUALISATION
(desire to become the most that one can be) eg promotions, opportunities for creativity and innovation - ESTEEM
(respect and recognition) ie feedback, appraisal, job title - LOVE AND BELONGING (friendship, sense of connection) ie professional associations, social events, supportive manager
- SAFETY
(health, absence of danger) ie company pension, substantive contract - PHYSIOLOGICAL NEEDS (warmth, shelter) ie pay
Change management- Implementation of change theories: motivational theories- what are the pros and cons of Maslows hierarchy of need
ADVANTAGES
-identifies individuals who fail to progress beyond lower levels of the pyramid
- highlights how basic problems (ie office temperature) can inhibit motivation
- makes intuitive sense
DISADVANTAGES
- overly individualistic
- no allowance for altruism
-the concept of an order of needs is disputed (ie the need for shelter and a home dose not preclude someones need for love) (maslow did stress that not everyone will experience needs in the order of his hierarchy)
Change management- Implementation of change theories: motivational theories Hertzbergs 2 factor theory. What is it also known as, what does it say?
- AKA the motivational hygiene theory
-some workplace factors lead to job satisfaction and others cause dissatisfaction - factors are therefore divided into motivators which give positive satisfaction (ie varied work, responsibility, recognition) and hygiene factors (do not give positive satisfaction but whose absence causes dissatisfaction ie good pay, good working conditions)
- mangers should aim to maximise both groups
Management style theory: McGregors x and Y theory
- management theory
- a classification of different managers attitudes to employees
- proposes theory X and theory Y, they represent polar extremes of managers beliefs about what motivates their workers and this affects their management style
- Many management approaches tent to have theory X as their implicit basis but mcGregor argues Theory Y may be more appropriate for running an organisation
Management style theory: McGregors x and Y theory- what is Theory X
- manager believes that employees are inherently lazy and dislike work. That they avoid responsibility and seek direction
- these leads to a management style using coercion and threats
- manager uses motivational drivers that address physiology and safety
Management style theory: McGregors x and Y theory- what is Theory Y
- manager assumes that the individuals and organisations goals are integrated
- manager believes that work is natural and give the right conditions employees will accept a sense of responsibility
- this leads to a management style with makes maximal use if employees capabilities and seeks commitment to objectives
- they use motivational driers of self actualisation, esteem as well as safety and physiological needs
