Q

Change management- Implementation of change theories: motivation theories- Maslows hierarchy of need,what does it state?

A

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

Q

Change management- Implementation of change theories: motivational theories- what are the pros and cons of Maslows hierarchy of need

A

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)

Q

Change management- Implementation of change theories: motivational theories Hertzbergs 2 factor theory. What is it also known as, what does it say?

A
  • 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

Q

Change management- Drivers and resistors of change theories: Force field analysis

A

  • the status quo will change in the driving forces are stronger than the resisting forces
  • therefore in order to implement change either the driving forces need to be strengthened or the resisting forces weakened (or both)
26
Q

    2. Vision of future possibilities
    3. First step in the direction of the vision
  • the product of DVF must be greater than the resistance for change to occur
