P2 A) Content and process theories of motivation with implement techniques that improves
effectiveness in team
The content theory explains the reason due to which the human needs change with the
passage of time. It explains the specific factors that motivate people. The content theory of
motivation emphasizes on factors within person that energizes and direct, sustain employee
behaviour. The theory aims identifying the needs that assist individual in developing motivation.
Process theory emphasize on identifying the way individual behaviour is being energized,
directed and sustained. This concept states that to facilitate various activities in order to motivate
6

employees Identifying the needs of workers can assist personal manager in positively
influencing worker behaviour at workplace. It is very essential for personal manager to conduct
various programmes to satisfy the changing needs of an individual.
In order to conduct the study for motivation, there are two theories implemented that
make successful results in business. In this aspect, bodies of knowledge develop with design and
partner motivation program. It is the best way that includes content theories and process theories.
In order to implement content theories, there are several factors implemented within the person
that energize, direct, sustain and stop behaviour. These theories look towards specific needs that
assists to motivate people in systematic aspect. In this aspect, includes Abraham Maslow,
Alderfer, Federick, McClellant, etc. Their theories assists to discuss about the motivation which
verified through conducting research program. In order to provide description and analysis,
behaviour energized, sustain and stopped as well. It includes following elements and theories:
Reinforcement and goals setting: These theories supported with conducting research studies that
are views and most useful perspective in the application.
Expectancy and equity theories: These theories also become important part in the compensation
that considered to design of compensation plans (Denhardt, R. B., Denhardt and Aristigueta,
2015)
Expectancy and equity theories: These theories also determines research and reinforcement for
setting goals and objectives in systematic aspect.
Alderfer – ERG theory- This concept has grouped demand into three division these are
relatedness, existence and growth. This theory is based on the fact that relatedness can be
harmonised to belongingness and esteem necessity. This consideration has centring on
explaining the way following stages of requirement change s more or less important to
individual.
Maslow -Hierarchy of needs theory- This concept has divided individual requirement into
several sections which is based on priorities such as esteem needs, belongingness,love, and
self-actualisation. Ma slow -Hierarchy of needs theory states that general necessity should be
placed at lowermost and complex requirement should be given the highest priority.
7

Herzberg Two factors theory- This concept demonstrate that there are few motivational
elements that help worker in achieving job or work satisfaction. Some factors that can lead to
dissatisfaction in workers are hygiene, unfair practices and policies.
Therefore, it can be stated that content theories also focuses on individual need to explain
satisfaction from job, behaviour and reward system as well. On the basis of these theories,
individual need to develop their performances with taking active participation with behaviour
response. With the help of offering several types of reward, these theories developed in
systematic aspect.
On the other hand, process theories also attempt to explain behaviour that are energized,
sustained and directed. It also includes four major concepts such as reinforcement, expectancy,
equity and goal setting. Behaviour changes can also be used to define the learning with
reinforcement of an individual.
The reinforcement theory states that individual can influence other person behaviour by
using reinforcement, punishment and extinction. Rewards are used to reinforce the behaviour
person want and punishments are used to prevent the behaviour individual does not want.
Extinction is a means to stop other person from performing a learned behaviour.
Reinforcement theory also develop and based on the principles that operate following
conditioning:
Positive reinforcement: It includes factors that increases with strength of responds and
also induces repetition of behaviour which granted reinforcement. As results, it includes adding
some positive perspective.
Negative reinforcement: It includes removal of negative reinforce which enhances
frequency response. Therefore, things implemented that taking away.
Punishment: Punishment includes undesirable consequences of the particular behaviour
through adding negative consequences. It also removing positive consequences which require
perform functions and operations in business (DiPaola and Tschannen-Moran, 2014.)
Extinction: It includes decline in the response rate due to non reinforcement that assist to
ignore negative perspective in the business. Behaviourist also focuses on the specific behaviour
that are not tangible as per the needs, motives and values of the business products and services.

Organisational behaviour modifications research also emphasis on the scientific research.
It includes empirical research on the OBM which generally found evidence that make positive
contribution on the organisational behaviour. Employees behaviour also appear that improves
OBM for development of the organisation (Effelsberg, Solga and Gurt, 2014.)
P 2 B) Analysing the way along with other motivational techniques may helped to enhance
effectiveness in team
Recognisance of great work is the significant factor that motivates employee to work
harder in order to gr recognition from employer. If workers continues to increase their
contribution in producing effective results and their work doest get recognition then it leads to
demotivation and dissatisfaction in employees.
Small and measurable goal. It can incredibly demoralize to do work on project .
Visualisation of project and achievement of goals encourage individual to work on particular
tasks. It also provides employee an opportunity to increase their confidence and gain expertise. It
enables them to develop various skills that will assist them in their professional development.
Settings targets and achievement of goals provides real boost each time.
Setting goals provides workers to get applaud for achieving effective outcomes. Staying
positive is other way to provide direction and positive reinforcement. Instead of telling the
mistakes of workers it is required by leader to have their focus on the overall performance of
employee. This will lead to the happiness and positivity plays a major role in success of
individual and organisation. A simple shift in bias way towards positivity and happiness have
great impact on work experience that is gained by individual and it has great effect on employer

The combination of various strength help the team to overcome weakness and enhance
their performance. The effective team consists of those competent members that can
easily get along with other members (Pan, Qinand and Gao , 2014)
Tuck man and Jensen's model : In this model there are phases of group development that
includes forming – storming – norming – performing. These stages support the teams to grow, to
face new challenges, to deal with different problems and identify the proper solution, plan in

TASK 4
P 4 A) Ways to improve team performance and productivity
Heisenberg Hygiene model is the motivational theory. It states that there are mainly two
factors that team leader takes into consideration when they are motivating their subordinate. The
theory has revealed that certain characteristics of job consistently related to job dissatisfaction.
The aim of this theory is to eliminate the factors of dissatisfaction in team members and creating
condition's of job satisfactions.
According to this theory team leader is required to have focus on various problems that
are being faced by team members when working in group. It is essential for leader to ensure
coordination among various group member in order to avoid any king of misunderstanding and
confusion among subordinates (Piaget, 2013)
The path goal theory explains a leadership style or behaviour that
assists leader in providing benefit to employees and developing effective working enviroment in
order to achieve desired outcome. The objectives of this concept is to support leader or human
resource manager in identifying the ways for improving workers motivational level and
supporting employees in becoming productive for business. Path goal theory states that effective
leader provides clear direction, sets high objectives, and also contributes in achievement of team
goals. Such leaders have supportive behaviour. This model is based on expectancy hypothesis in
which an individual act in a certain manner which is dependent on expectation that the act will
be followed by a given conclusion and on the attractiveness of that result to person. As per this
theory leaders choose specific behaviour or attitude on the basis of team members needs and
requirement of situation. This behaviour assist leaders in becoming effective and aid them in
improving team performance.

strategy and conflicting priorities, An ineffective senior team, Leadership style, Poor horizontal
coordination and ineffective communication, Inadequate leadership, management skills, poor
close vertical communication.
It has been identified in BBC organisation that effectiveness of team is mainly influenced
by team leader and its leadership Style. Lack of effective and talented team leader has great
impact on team performance, values and their commitment towards strategy of firm. This has
further lead to lack of trust and coordination among team members(Patty Mulder 2014.)
The various other barriers to effective performance are:
Emotional barriers-It is a form of barrier that are evolved from the mistrust that forms from the
workers' at workplace which stops person to effectively communicate with other. Due to this
type of emotions the worker may feel reserved, insecure and emotionally weak when working in
organisation.
Perceptual barriers-This is the form of barriers in which individual faces' problem, in interacting
with other people. Perceptual barriers have great effect on employees' performance and
confidence level that is required to execute particular activity or task.
Cultural barriers-These factors have great influence or impact on workers' performance. As
employees belong to different cultural background or region may have unique working pattern
and method. Due to these factors , individual may face difficulty in adopting the new method of
working which could have direct effect on workers' performance at workplace.

the behaviour of employees. It has concluded that employees' behaviour is high effected by the
14

culture and trend in society. The project has concluded that motivation plays very significant role
in encouraging worker to increase their contribution in achieving organisational goals.
