This document provides an overview of organizational behavior and motivation theories. It discusses outcomes like job satisfaction and absenteeism that are influenced by managers. Motivation theories covered include Maslow's hierarchy of needs, Herzberg's two-factor theory, expectancy theory, equity theory, goal setting theory, and reinforcement theory. The key aspects and implications of each theory for motivating employees are summarized. Overall, the document presents motivation as important for performance and offers different theoretical approaches for managers to understand and influence employee effort.
Reengineering: A complete rethinking and redesign of business processes to increase efficiency, quality, innovation, or responsiveness to customers.
Restructuring: Altering an organization’s structure (e.g., by eliminating a department) to streamline the organization’s operations and reduce costs.
Outsourcing: Acquiring goods or services from sources outside the organization.
Freelancers: Independent individuals who contract with an organization to perform specific services.
It is a brief presentation which will make you easily understand about what actually motivation is and what job performance is?
And also it will make you clear that what is difference between motivation and job performance, as both words in general reflects same meaning but they are different but also interlinked with each other in some or the other way,
Theories of Motivation in Organizational BehaviorMasum Hussain
Most employers today would like to have their employee’s motivated and ready to work, but do not understand what truly motivates a person. Companies could be more efficient if the employees had an invested interest in the future of the company. There are essential needs to be met for a person, specifically an employee, to succeed in the workplace. I will examine different theories of motivations, how they are relevant to the workplace, and how employers can implement the theories to ensure happy and motivated employees.
Human behaviour is as much a reflection of the differences between individuals as it is a reflection of their similarities. These individual differences are caused by a number of influences and characteristics. For example, personality traits focus on individual differences that make each person a unique human being. Our biological make-up concentrates on how we function as a result of our evolution and human inheritance. Our behaviour is largely influenced by the system of rewards and punishments that are present in our environment. Our cognitive approach focuses on how our thinking and memory affects our behaviour. The fact that we are here at this time with immediate influences, and the ability to express a free will, may present the greatest influence of all.
It broadly addresses the topic of employee relations and work motivation. It examined theories and models of motivation that strive to answer the question of what motivates and how is motivation harnessed. At the individual level of analysis, there is a plethora of different approaches, most of which have some conceptual viability, empirical support and practical use. A critical task for future thinking and research is to integrate findings from diverse sources in order to be able to produce a more coherent view of motivation, its content and mechanisms.
Any theories about motivation can be contradicted since these theories have many exceptions. It is important that these theories are considered general statements that have been confirmed through observational studies and are applicable only to the extent that they reflect and are influenced by individual behaviour. We might ask: “Why should we even pursue these topics if there are so many inconsistencies, exceptions, and variables that affect conclusions?”. If we are searching for scientific evidence that is universally applicable, we may be wasting our time, but if our goal is to better understand human behaviour and its impacts on personal performance, the insights gained from such theories and studies are invaluable.

Practical ways to boost strategy executionAchieveIt
By now, most organizations have completed their strategic planning process for 2017 and are ready to execute brilliantly. These organizations, just like yours, are now at a fork in the road. At least 75% will take the road of failed execution. These companies, teams and individuals will struggle, and fall short of their 2017 goals.
But the other 25% will take another path – the road to explosive growth, results and success. The strategic leaders heading these organizations are able to:
- Drive their organizations to results with confidence
- Close the gap that exists between what they say they’re going to do (in strategy), and what actually gets done (in execution)
- Execute, assess, adjust and drive results in a repeatable, consistent and predictable way

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

*Current generation has no work ethic
* Some people are born “lazy”
* Most people are motivated by the same thing
4. Why is Motivation Important?
• Under optimal conditions,
effort can often be
increased and sustained
• Delegation without
constant supervision is
always necessary
• Employees can become
self-motivated
• Motivated employees can
provide competitive
advantage by offering
suggestions & working to
satisfy customers
5. Bottom Line
Motivation is accomplishing things
through the efforts of others. If
you cannot do this, you will fail as a
manager.
6. MAJOR THEORIES OF MOTIVATION
I. Need Approaches:
- Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
- Alderfer’s ERG Theory

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs Model
9. “Issues” with Maslow’s Need Model
1. Businesses typically do well satisfying lower
order needs.
2. Model stipulates that there are 5 needs and
that the order is “fixed”. Research indicates
some may only have 2-3 need hierarchy;
others 5-6. The order may also be inverted
and meeting needs outside of work not
accounted for.
3. Model not developed from average employees
10. Alderfer’s ERG Theory
Need Growth Needs Need
Progression Regression
Relatedness Needs
Existence Needs
11. Herzberg’s Theory Rests on 2 Assumptions
1.) Being satisfied with one’s job is equivalent
to being motivated; “a satisfied worker is a
motivated worker”
2.) Job satisfaction and dissatisfaction are
separate concepts with unique determinants
based on work with accountants and engineers
12. Herzberg’s 2-Factor Theory
Determinants of Job
Dissatisfaction are
Hygiene* Factors:
• Pay, fringe benefits
• Working conditions
• Quality of supervision
• Interpersonal relations
Job Environment
Factors
* Poor hygiene can make you,
sick, but good hygiene won’t
necessarily make you healthy
Determinants of Job
Satisfaction are
Motivator Factors:
• Work itself,
responsibility
• Advancement
• Recognition
Job Content
Factors
13. Assessment of Herzberg
Contributions
• 1st to argue that job
content/job design was
important
• Job enrichment (the work
itself) as a job satisfaction
strategy
• Model appealing and easy to
understand
Criticisms
• May be “method-bound” by
self-serving bias
• Some individual
differences, like desire for
pay, rejected as a motivator.
• Also, not everyone wants an
enriched job
• Assumes satisfaction
(presence of motivators) =
motivation

16. THE GOALS OF COGNITIVE
THEORIES ARE TO EXPLAIN
THOUGHTS ABOUT EFFORT:
1.) the decision to expend effort
2.) the level of effort to exert
3.) how effort can be made to persist
over time
17. Expectancy Theory
Involves 3 cognitions/perceptions:
1. Expectancy - the perceived probability that effort will
lead to task performance. E link
2. Instrumentality - the perceived probability that
performance will lead to rewards. I link
3. Valence - the anticipated value of a particular
outcome to an individual.

21. Implications for Managers
• Need to offer employees valued rewards (high
valences)
• Need to insure that if people are willing to put forth
effort that you help them succeed. Maintain the E
link (Provide tools, info, support)
• Need to make sure that you follow through with
reward system that is tied to performance. Maintain
the I link (Differential rewards for performance)
22. What is the basis of equity theory?
• …the thinking process by which one
makes a decision to exert effort is a
function of social comparison
• Based on individual perceptions of
outcomes (what your receive from
expending effort to complete a task), job
inputs (what you bring or contribute to
the task) and perceptions of a referent
person.
23. Equity Theory: The decision to exert effort is a function
of social comparison
Involves 3 relevant perceptions:
1. Perceptions of outcomes received from performing a task.
(e.g., pay)
2. Perceptions of inputs required to perform a task.
3. Perceptions of the outcomes and inputs of a REFERENCE
PERSON.
If: Outcomes Self Outcomes Reference Person
=
Inputs Self Inputs Reference Person
Then equity exists.
24. How does equity theory work?
• Employees mentally construct outcome-to-input
ratios for themselves and their referent
other and “socially compare”
• If equity exists, you experience no tension and
persist at your current level of effort
• When Outcome Self =/= Outcome Reference person
Input Self Input Reference person
Tension is created and employees are
“motivated” to restore equity
25. Equity Theory
Equitable Situation:
Outcomes Self = Outcomes Reference Person
Job Inputs Self Job Inputs Reference Person
Inequitable Situations:
A. Under-reward or “Cheated” (from Self’s point of view)
Outcomes/Inputs Self 4/5 < Outcomes/Inputs Reference Person 5/5
B. Over-reward or “Guilty” (from Self’s point of view)
Outcomes/Inputs Self 5/4 > Outcomes/Inputs Reference Person 5/5
C. Either way, a person is “motivated” to restore equity with R.P.
26. Examples
You Ref. Person Ways to Reduce Tension
3 < 4 Outcomes a. increase outcomes like ask for
4 4 Inputs a raise (Δ Your outcome 3 to a 4)
b. reduce job inputs like ¯ effort
(Δ Your input 4 to a 3)
“Under-reward” (What YOU is, from You’s perspective)
4 > 3 Outcomes a. increase job inputs like work
3 3 Inputs harder (Δ Your input 3 to a 4)
b. reduce outcomes
? refuse pay raise
? decline promotion, unrealistic
“Over-reward Condition” (What YOU is, from You’s perspective)
27. Restoring
Equity
Under-reward:
Increase outcomes
Reduce inputs
Over-reward:
Increase inputs
Reduce Outcomes (?)
-criticism of equity theory
Other Options:
Leave situation
Alter perceptions
28. REASONING BEHIND GOAL SETTING
Direction - specific goals direct your focus to relevant
activities
Effort - need to devote more intense levels of effort
toward difficult goals - assumes people are goal driven
Persistence - specific, difficult goals encourage you to
persist longer at a task than would be the case without
such goals
Only possible exception is
high “uncertainty avoidance”
cultures.
29. Representative Goal Setting Study

30. MAJOR THEORIES OF MOTIVATION
II. Cognitive Approaches:
- Expectancy Theory
- Equity Theory/ Social Comparison
- Goal Setting Theory
III. REINFORCEMENT THEORY OR OPERANT
CONDITIONING : How Rewards & Reinforcements
Sustain Motivation Over Time (Behavior Modification)
●May best address how motivation can be made to
persist over time
● Behaviors like effort can be sustained or changed by
experiencing or observing reinforcements
31. Reinforcement Theory of Motivation
• Some view as an explanation of motivation; others
limit it to how motivation is sustained over time.
• Does not have to rely on needs, perceptions or
cognitions. Managers can design work environment
to provide “reinforcers” that strengthen desired
behaviors & weaken undesired behaviors.
“Motivation is a function of the environment”.
• Others allow for cognitions in that people can
observe rewards and punishments applied to others.
Called social learning or vicarious learning.
32. Motivation as a Form of Learning:
The Law of Effect
• Behavior that leads
toward rewards tends to
be repeated
• Behavior that tends to
lead toward no rewards or
toward punishment tends
to be avoided
• The type of reinforcer &
the timing (schedule) of
reinforcement are key
33. Reinforcers Which Strengthen Behavior: What managers
can do to increase the probability of behavior in the future
a. Positive reinforcement--rewards contingent on
exhibiting the correct behavior.
b. Avoidance Learning—withholding something
unpleasant when a desired behavior is engaged in (e.g., an
annoying alarm is avoided when a machine is used properly,
not operating in reverse). Or, using social learning, noticing
how engaging in some behavior avoids an unpleasant
outcome (e.g., arrive on time and the boss does not yell).
Text: Negative reinforcement
34. Reinforcers Which Weaken Behavior: What
managers can do to decrease the probability of behavior in the
future
a. Punishment--administering unpleasant
consequences
following an undesirable behavior.
b. Extinction--when there are no rewards for a
behavior which was previously rewarded.
35. Timing of Reinforcement
a. How quickly reinforcers work depends on
their timing
b. Continuous. Used to “shape” new behaviors
c. But continuous reinforcement is impractical
1. Costly
2. Not as effective in sustaining behavior
over time
36. Partial Reinforcement Schedules
1. Based on passage of time
Fixed Interval- Reinforcer given after set period of time.
Ex.: Weekly pay.
Variable Interval- Reinforcer given randomly with passage of time.
Ex.: Surprise bonus based on time.
2. Based on behavior exhibited by the employee (team)
Fixed Ratio- Reinforcers based on behaviors.
Ex.: Piece rate pay.
Variable Ratio- Reinforcers applied randomly after exhibition of
behaviors.
Ex.: A company vacation to Hawaii for all employees after a new
contract landed; spot bonuses.

38. Summary of Motivation Theories
A. View all these approaches as a “bag of tricks.” Alternatives to
choose from, remembering that all are not compatible.
B. Judge whether you believe each “works.” Rely on the scientific
data presented, your experiences, and your common sense.
C. Evaluate your prospects for successfully implementing each
one--we all vary in our interpersonal skills and ability to render
social rewards sincerely.
D. The question is not whether each of these approaches to
motivation works, but where and when they work best.
