Two Factor Theory (Motivation and Hygiene) Frederick Herzberg classified factors influencing behavior in two categories: Motivational factors, such as achievement and responsibility are related to the job itself. True motivation comes from within employees. Maintenance/hygiene factors are external. They include company policy, work conditions and interpersonal relations. Maintenance factors decrease motivation if not satisfied.

SKINNER'S OPERANT CONDITIONING Environmental conditioning controls individual (operant) behavior. The operant will respond to a pleasant experience. The operant will repeat the desired behavior which brings pleasure. Rules for motivating with Operant Conditioning: Avoid punishment as primary means of motivation. Reinforce desired and avoid undesired behavior. Determine the response level of each individual.

VROOM'S EXPECTANCY THEORY MOTIVATION DEPENDS UPON AN INDIVIDUAL’S GOAL AND PERCEPTION OF PERFORMANCE TO ATTAIN THAT GOAL. Human beings are viewed as thinking individuals who reason and make conscious behavioral choices.
