5. Theories Of Motivation
Mc Gregor’s Theory
Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory
Maslow’s Hierarchy Theory

6. Theory X :-
 This theory assumes that most people prefer to be
directed are not interested in assuming responsibility
and want safety above all.
 Accompanying this type of philosophy is the belief
that work is inherently distasteful to most people and
people are motivated by money and threat to
punishment.
 Managers who accept this theory, attempt to structure,
control and closely supervise their subordinates.

7. Theory Y:-
 This Theory assumes that people are not by nature
lazy and unreliable. Man can be self-directed and
creative at work, if properly motivated.
 Mangers who accept this theory, attempt to help their
employees mature, by exposing them to progressively
less control, allowing them to assume more self-
control.

Theory
Motivational
Factors:- The presence
of these factors motivates
workers and at the same
time, absence of these
does not cause job
dissatisfaction.
Hygiene Factors:-
The presence of these
factors maintains
motivation at zero level,
but absence of these
factors causes serious
job dissatisfaction.

12. Maslow’s Hierarchy Theory:-
Basic Assumptions:-
 All human needs cannot be satisfied because if one
need is satisfied another arises.
 A satisfied need does not motivate behaviour.
 Some needs are innate(natural/inherent) i.e. food and
water while some are acquired from social experiences.
 Human beings attempt to satisfy their needs in a
specific order based on hierarchy.
