All rights reserved. 13 of 18 Understand the principles of effective decision making Motivational Theory Frederick Winslow Taylor argues the idea that workers are motivated mainly by pay. His Theory of Scientific Management argued the following: Workers do not naturally enjoy work and so need close supervision and control Workers are then paid according to the number of items they produce in a set period of time-piece-rate pay. As a result workers are encouraged to work hard and maximise their productivity.

Maslow put forward a theory that there are five levels of human needs which employees need to have fulfilled at work. All of the needs are structured into a hierarchy and only once a lower level of need has been fully met, would a worker be motivated by the opportunity of having the next need up in the hierarchy satisfied.
