5. How Motivation Affects Performance
Expectations, Motivation, and Performance
Self-fulfilling prophecy
“If you believe you can, or if you believe you can’t, then you are right”—Henry Ford
If you think you will be successful, then you will be.
The Performance Formula
Performance = Ability x Motivation x Resources
For maximum performance levels, all three factors must be high.

8. Motivation: Content Theories
Content Motivation Theories
Focus on identifying and understanding employees’ needs.
Hierarchy of needs theory
ERG theory
Two-factor theory
Acquired needs theory

9. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs Theory
Only unmet needs motivate.
People’s needs are arranged in order of importance for basic to complex.
Satisfaction of lower level needs precedes satisfaction of higher levels needs.
There are five classifications of needs:
Physiological
Safety
Social
Esteem
Self-actualization

11. Alderfer’s ERG Theory ERG theory
Proposes that employees are motivated by three needs:
Existence: physiological and safety needs.
Relatedness: social needs.
Growth: esteem and actualization.
Needs can be active on more than one level at the same time.
Starving actor: being hungry and wanting fame and fortune.

13. McClelland’s Acquired Needs Theory
Proposes that employees are motivated by their need for achievement, power, and affiliation.
Need for Achievement (n Ach): the desire for responsibility and accomplishment.
Need for Power (n Ach): the desire to control the situation and influence others.
Need for Affiliation (n Aff): the tendency to be liked and to seek close relationship with others.

15. Motivation: Process Theories
Process Motivation Theories
Focus on understanding how employees choose behavior to fulfill their needs.
Equity theory
Goal-setting theory
Expectancy theory
Copyright © 2003 by South-Western/Thomson Learning. All rights reserved.

16. Adams’s Equity Theory Equity Theory
Proposes that employees are motivated when their perceived inputs equal outputs.
People compare their inputs (contributions to the organization) and outputs (rewards) to that of relevant others and conclude that they are:
Underrewarded
Overrewarded
Equitably rewarded

17. Goal-Setting Theory Goal-Setting Theory
Proposes that achievable but difficult goals motivate employees, leading to higher levels of motivation and performance.
Goals provide an attractive challenge to high-performing individuals who have a strong need for achievement.
Goals provide a sense of purpose—why we are working to accomplish a given task.
Goals require action plans to achieve goals and measure progress.

18. Vroom’s Expectancy Theory
Proposes that employees are motivated when they believe they can accomplish the task and the rewards for doing so are worth the effort.
Motivation = expectancy x valence
Expectancy: the person’s perception of his or her ability to accomplish an objective.
Valence: the value the person places on the outcome or reward for his or her performance.

19. Consequences of Behavior (Reinforcement)
Reinforcement Theory
Reinforcement Theory
Proposes that through the consequences for behavior employees will be motivated to behave in predetermined ways.
Stimulus
Responding Behavior
Consequences of Behavior (Reinforcement)

20. Types of Reinforcement
Positive Reinforcement
Encouraging continued behavior by offering attractive consequences (rewards) for desirable performance.
Avoidance Reinforcement (Negative Reinforcement)
Encouraging continued desirable behavior to avoid a negative consequence.

21. Types of Reinforcement (cont’d)
Extinction
Discouraging undesirable behavior by withholding reinforcement when the behavior occurs.
Punishment
Providing an undesirable consequence for the undesirable behavior.

22. Schedules of Reinforcement
Continuous Reinforcement
Each and every desirable behavior is reinforced.
Intermittent Reinforcement Schedules
Time-based
Fixed interval
Variable interval
Output-based
Fixed ratio
Variable ratio

3. Stop for a moment of silence.
4. Encourage repeat performance.
