CHARACTERISTICS OF MOTIVATION
TYPES OF MOTIVATION
There are mainly two types of motivations such as
 INTRINSIC MOTIVATION: is geared toward internal rewards and rein forcer's.
People may work at a job because it gives them feelings of competence and a sense of personal
control doing the job is fun, the work is matter of pride, the tasks are challenging, and so on
 EXTRINSIC MOTIVATION : is geared toward external rewards and rein forcer's.
Some examples of external rewards are money, praise, awards, etc. Some examples
of external rein forcer's are policy and procedures, disciplinary action, speeding
tickets, boundary-setting, etc.
MOTIVATIONAL THEORIES
MASLOW NEED HIERARCHY THEORY OF
MOTIVATION
HERZBERG’S MOTIVATION-HYGIENE
THEORY:
1.Maslow – Hierarchy Of Needs:
Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a theory in psychology proposed by Abraham Maslow
in his 1943 paper "A Theory of Human Motivation" in psychological Review. Maslow
subsequently extended the idea to include his observations of humans' innate curiosity.
Human behavior is goal-directed. Motivation cause goal-directed behaviour. It is through
motivation that needs can be handled and tackled purposely. This can be understood by
understanding the hierarchy of needs by manager. The needs of individual serves as a driving
force in human behaviour. Therefore, a manager must understand the “hierarchy of needs”.
Maslow has proposed “The Need Hierarchy Model”.
2.Herzberg’s Motivation-Hygiene Theory:
 The Herzberg’s Motivation-Hygiene Theory is given by Fredrick Herzberg
and his associates, who studied the variables that are perceived to be
desirable toachieve goals and the undesirable conditions toavoid. In this
context, the study was conducted wherein the experiences and feelings of
200 engineers and accountants were analyzed.
 They were asked toshare their previous job experiences in which they felt
“exceptionally good” or “exceptionally bad.”Through this study, Herzberg
concluded that there are two job conditions independent of each other
that affect the behavior differently.
 The first set of job conditions has been referred to as maintenance or hygiene factor,
wherein the same job conditions provide the same level of dissatisfaction, in case the
conditions are absent, however, their presence does not motivate in a strong way.
 The second set of job conditions is referred to as motivational factors, which
primarily operate to build strong motivation and high job satisfaction, but their absence
does not result in strong dissatisfaction.
• Hygiene Factors: Herzberg identified ten maintenance or hygiene factors, that are not
intrinsic parts of a job, but are related to the conditions in which the job has to be
performed. These are company policy and administration, technical supervision, job
security, working conditions, interpersonal relationship with peers, subordinates and
supervisors, salary, job security, personal life, etc.
• Motivational factors: These factors have a positive effect on the functioning of the
employees in the organization. There are six factors that motivate employees: Achievement,
Recognition, Advancement, Work-itself, Possibility of growth and Responsibility. An
increase in these factors satisfies the employees and the decrease in these will not affect
the level of satisfaction.
 Thus, Herzberg’s Motivation-Hygiene Theory studied the variables which were
responsible for the level of satisfaction and had been applied in the industry that has given
several new insights.
