[PDF] Importance of Employee Motivation_1
Empoyee Motivation2Empoyee MotivationMotivation is the process of increasing perfoemance through creating conditons that meetthe conditions of employees. Lecture slides present theories of motivation by focusing on positive reinforcement factors through extrinsinc rewards and at the same time meeting intrisinc factors needed by employee. The theories presented are reinforcement theory, Hezberg’s two factor theory and Masslow’s hierachy of needs. In the video Pink (2009), analyzes the failures of positive reinforcement through the reward system by giving examples on how use of the reward system filed. To him, the talk is about the puzzle of motivation presented as a battle between intrinsic motivators and extrinsic motivators, autonomy, mastery and purpose against carrot and sticks. This essay analyses similarities and differences between the two resources on motivation. The key argument put forward by Pink (2009) is the use of intrinsic motivation patterns that have been partly discussed in the lecture slides. In the notes, there is the Herzberg’s two factor theory which talks about intrinsic factors that appear in motivation. In the video, the argument is based on the use of autonomy and intrinsic factors to motivate employees. Autonomy has been used as a factor that motivates employees by giving them the freedom to work the way they want (Schultz & Schultz, 2010). For example, the results only work environment was used as an illustration of how autonomy can motivate employees to achieve better results. The lecture slides points out on the use of motivation factor in the theory to establish conditions that make the employee motivated. These conditions include satisfaction, recognition and the work itself. This similarity appears in both when employee conditions are simplified to allow the employee to make choices in their own work. The common factor that links the two resources is the creation of work conditions and autonomy that allows the employee to enjoy the work environment and yield more results.
