This document discusses theories of motivation. It describes Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory which states that people are motivated to fulfill basic physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, esteem needs, and self-actualization needs. Herzberg's two-factor theory is also described, distinguishing between hygiene factors like salary and supervision, and motivational factors like achievement and responsibility. The document also discusses reinforcement theories, explaining how behaviors can be strengthened through positive reinforcement or avoidance learning, and weakened through punishment or extinction.

- 10. REASONING BEHIND GOAL SETTING Direction - specific goals direct your focus to relevant activities Effort - need to devote more intense levels of effort toward difficult goals - assumes people are goal driven Persistence - specific, difficult goals encourage you to persist longer at a task than would be the case without such goals Only possible exception is high “uncertainty avoidance” cultures.

- 14. Motivation as a Form of Learning: The Law of Effect Behavior that leads toward rewards tends to be repeated Behavior that tends to lead toward no rewards or toward punishment tends to be avoided
- 15. Reinforcers Which Strengthen Behavior: What managers can do to increase the probability of behavior in the future a. Positive reinforcement--rewards contingent on exhibiting the correct behavior. b. Avoidance Learning—withholding something unpleasant when a desired behavior is engaged in (e.g., an annoying alarm is avoided when a machine is used properly, not operating in reverse). Or, using social learning, noticing how engaging in some behavior avoids an unpleasant outcome (e.g., arrive on time and the boss does not yell). Text: Negative reinforcement
- 16. Reinforcers Which Weaken Behavior: What managers can do to decrease the probability of behavior in the future a. Punishment--administering unpleasant consequences following an undesirable behavior. b. Extinction--when there are no rewards for a behavior which was previously rewarded.
