Different Theories and
Models of Organizational
        Behavior
Theory
 Is a systematic grouping of interdependent
  concepts and principles that gives a framework to
  a significant area of knowledge.
 According to HOMANS, a theory “in its lowest
  form of classification, is a set of pigeon holes, a
  filing cabinet in which facts can accumulate.
  Nothing is more lost than a loose fact.”
Importance of Theory:
 To provide a means of classifying significant
  and pertinent management information and
  knowledge.
 Some theories give guidelines explaining
  relationships between two or more sets of
  variables.

 According to Herzberg, motivators are
 intrinsically motivating the employees that
 constitute the most enduring sources of
 motivation in the work environment while
 the satisfiers are important factors because
 these creates dissatisfaction, if not properly
 attended to by management.
 “People who are high in need
 achievement are highly motivated
 to strive for satisfaction that is
 derived from accomplishing some
 challenging tasks. These people
 also       prefer         obtaining
 specific, timely criticism and
 feedback about their performance.”
BASIC NEEDS TO DRIVE PEOPLE:
Need for Achievement
Need for Power
Need for Affiliation
Need for Competence
 Skinner believed that “the environment
  determines the individual behavior
  event if he alters the environment.”
 Rewards or any Stimuli that serve as
  positive reinforcers of certain behavior
  are found to be more powerful than the
  negative and neutral reinforcers, even
  if both sets of rein forcers may be used.
OPERANT or OPERANT
        CONDITIONING
Is a kind of learning in
 which behavior is shaped
 by selective reinforcement.
BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION:
The process of systematically
 reinforcing positive behavior
 while at the same time
 ignoring negative
 reinforcements to eliminate
 unwanted behavior.
6 Consideration for the Use of Positive
     Reinforcements in Modifying Motivational
               Behaviors of Workers:
 Do not reward equally.
 Failure to reinforce may encourage poor subsequent
    performance.
   Inform workers about what they can do to get
    reinforcement.
   Tell workers when and what they are doing wrong.
   Do not punish a subordinate in front of other workers.
   Be fair.
EXPECTANCY:
Refers to the degree of an
 individual’s anticipatory
 belief that his specific action
 will certainly end in a
 particular result or outcome.
This theory is based on the
 assumption that MONEY is
 the primary motivation of
 increasing the productivity
 level of performance of
 workers-that if the reward is
 greater enough, workers will
 naturally produce more.
Focuses on the content or nature
 of items that motivate an
 individual.
 It relates the individual’s inner
 self and how that individual’s
 internal state of needs determine
 behavior.
