Two Factor Theory
Overall, I am satisfied with my job.I feel the workload is about equal for everyone in the organization.My supervisor handles conflicts well.My pay and benefits are comparable to those in other organizations.There is a real future for people in this organization.Exceptional performance is rewarded in this organization.We have a good health care plan in this organization.In general, I am Satisfied with my life and where it is going.Typical Items on a satisfaction Questionnaire
Organizational JusticeDistributive JusticePerceived fairness of the amount and allocation of rewards among individuals.Procedural JusticeThe perceived fairness of the process to determine the distribution of rewards.
Performance is a broader concept than motivation, as abilities, skills, group norms and the  availability of resources can all affect followers’ levels of performance.Job satisfaction is  a set of attitudes that peoples have about work.In motivational theories Maslow’s hierachy of neds and Alderfer’s existence-relatdeness-growth (ERG) theory assume that  people are motivated to satisfy a universal set of needs.Summary
The other next theories examined motivation in terms of individual differences, emphasizing a person’s intrinsic motivation to perform a particular task, their personal values or a  person’s general level of achievement orientation.Other theories of Goal setting , equity theory, self efficacy and expectancy theory examined motivation from a cognitive perspective.
