Q

Taylor’s system of scientific management applied scientific principles to work and workers. These principles led to increases in productivity that are still in use today. However, this view of “motivation” is now regarded as narrow because it treats workers somewhat like machines. The Hawthorne studies led to a revolution in theories about motivation because they revealed the human side of productivity improvement. Employees who are happy and satisfied with their work are motivated to perform better, which in turn increases productivity.

ERG theory 2 models

26

27

28
Theory x& assumptions
THEORY X: -conssitent w taylor sciefic man. -people dislike work -managers must coerce control and threaten -people must be led bc no ambition and no repsonsibiility: only care abt secruity RESULt: autocratic workplace
29
Theory Y & assumptions
consistent with ides of the human relations movement 1.people like work 2. people work toward goals when committed & work will bring rewards 3. people want responsibility 4. employees can bring success, orgs needa utilize hr
30
theory x vs y
theory x is kinda like reality, y is what should be the guidelines
31
theory z
emphasizes teamwork and co-operative wokring relations, individual acountabulity, strong need to be connected to ateam goal: econurage workers to become generalists through job rotation and training to develop skill that are transferable
32
herzbergs two factor theory
we thought that job satisfaction and dissatisfaction was on same scale, but after herxberg we realized two OPP scales one set of factors (maintenance factors) are for joy one set of
33
mantenance factors
part of two factor theory: job security pay wokring conditions when present can reduce dissatisfaction ( but do not necessarily increase satisfaction/mmotivation) ABSENCE: RESULTS IN DISSATIFACTION!!!!!!
34
GOAL of miantenacne factors
to make sure ur not dissatisfied (not to incerase satisfaction)
35
motivation factors
other side of two factor theory recogonition and responsibility and opp for advancement increases motivation but absence does not necessarily increase dissatisfaction; purpose is to increase satisfaction not affect disatisfaction
36
herzberg two factors+purpose
maintenance factors: decrease dissatisfaction, not imporovev satisfaction motivating: increase satisfaction, not affect dissatisfaction
37
two factor theory problme
employee pay is maintenace factor, but sometimes can be motivation factor for recognition if it given specifically as a rewrad
38
two factor theory main understanding
non-monetary forsmo fmotivation such as recgoniction advanctment and growth opps improve employee performacne even more than PAYYY ALONE

behaviour modification
systematic program of reincofrment and punishment ot get good behaviour only
42
Figure 10.4 shows a visual of reinforcing behaviours. It emphasizes that we can either introduce a consequence or remove it to encourage functional behaviours (which help us reach our goals) and discourage dysfunctional behaviours (which hinder us from reaching our goals).
what does this mean look at 10.4 visual
43
4 methods of reinforcement
ENCOURAGE GOOD BEHAVIOUR: 1 positive: add reward 2 negative: removing something unpleasant (not having to stay late) DISCOURAGE IT: 3 punishment : adds something unpleasant (creates hostility) 4 exntinction: witholding reawrds (not giving raises) this can create misnterpreation that goals r not important

45
equity theory
explains why employees are motivated -states that people are motivated based on the premise that they want equiatbale treatment EQUITY: REWARDS BASED ON ACHIEVEMENT, not everyone needs same reward
