The document provides an overview of several theories and models of organizational behavior and human motivation:
- McGregor's Theory X and Theory Y describe differing assumptions about employee motivation - Theory X sees employees as inherently lazy while Theory Y sees them as self-motivated.
- Herzberg's two-factor theory proposes that different factors lead to employee satisfaction versus dissatisfaction - motivators like achievement lead to satisfaction while hygiene factors like salary lead to dissatisfaction.
- McClelland's need theory focuses on three dominant needs - achievement, power, and affiliation - as key motivators.
- Skinner's operant conditioning theory proposes that behavior is shaped by its consequences, with reinforcement increasing and punishment decreasing
