Q4 Outline three motivation Process theories and discuss their role in the
workplace.
INTRODUCTION
Process motivation theory focuses on 'How' aspects of motivation. This model focusses on
behavioural and psychological factors that the human consider instead of the needs of the
humans. It can be said that with the help of processes an understanding about the actions and
interactions that can motivate the employees can be analysed.

Adam's Equity Theory: It refers to the theory which states that in order to increase the
motivation level of the individual it is important for the company to make sure that the reward
