The document discusses different theories of motivation in the workplace. It covers content theories like Maslow's hierarchy of needs, ERG theory, and Herzberg's two-factor theory, which focus on understanding employee needs and what satisfies them. It also discusses process theories like Adams' equity theory and goal setting theory, which examine the psychological processes that translate needs into motivated behavior. Overall, the document provides a comprehensive overview of major motivation theories and their implications for effectively engaging and satisfying employees.
This is sometimes referred to as the Person–Environment Correspondence
Theory. It was originally developed by René Dawis, George England and Lloyd
Lofquist from the University of Minnesota in 1964.
The more closely a person’s abilities (skills, knowledge, experience, attitude,
behaviours, etc.) correspond with the requirements of the role or the
organisation, the more likely it is that they will perform the job well and be
perceived as satisfactory by the employer.

Gepetto’s Army: Creating International Incidents with Twitter BotsGreg Marra
Twitter has proven to be an invaluable tool for communication during breaking news intense periods of political unrest. When thousands of people tweet, the outside world gets a chance to understand events on the ground. But what if none of those thousands of people were real, and the events never happened? A malicious puppetmaster could create hundreds of Twitter bots, letting them live perfectly normal and believable lives for months while they build up followers. Then one day, a careful crafted false story unfolds on the stage of social media, played out by a single director with hundreds of actors. Real world Incidents have shown that powerful stories can become widespread before there is time for fact checking. Before anyone realizes all the TwitPics are faked, the false news will have made international headlines.
Social Robots challenge our preconceived notions of what social media can be used for. They present a dangerous threat to the news industry, but also a powerful opportunity to help people.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere, promising self-driving cars, medical breakthroughs, and new ways of working. But how do you separate hype from reality? How can your company apply AI to solve real business problems?
Here’s what AI learnings your business should keep in mind for 2017.
Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving CarsLinkedIn
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.
One can purchase a man's time, his physical presence, but can't buy his willingness to work. This can be achieved only through "Motivation".
Remember, that the ability to work is quite different from "the will to work". That's why, many talented person fail to succeed in life.

5.3 Leadership and Motivation
Another key aspect of the leading function is motivating workers. Effective leaders motivate individuals to increase the level, direction, and persistence of effort expended at work. Motivation may be defined as what starts behaviors, what maintains behaviors, and what stops behaviors. Leaders are interested in inspiring employees to engage in various behaviors. Table 5.4 provides some examples.
Table 5.4 Motivated behaviors at work
Start and maintain
Stop
Punctuality (arrive on time)
Unhealthy habits (smoking, drugs)
Attendance (arrive every day)
Unethical activities
Effort/productivity
Conflicts
Cooperativeness
Politics
Share information
Inattentiveness
To achieve these goals, leaders can take lessons from the many types of theories of motivation. Three categories of motivation theories are content theories, process theories, and goal-setting theories.
Content Theories of Motivation
Content theories explain the specific factors that motivate people, most notably in the area of human needs. They help explain what drives human behavior, because people will act to fulfill unsatisfied needs, especially the ones they feel are the most urgent. Three major content theories of motivation include Maslow's hierarchy of needs, Herzberg's motivation-hygiene theory, and McClelland's acquired needs theory.
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs (1954) provides an important foundation of leadership thinking. The model shown in Figure 5.3 employs a satisfaction-progression approach. A person will not progress to the next level of needs until the immediate need has been routinely satisfied.
Lower-order needs include physiological needs, safety needs, and social concerns for belongingness and love. Physiological needs on the job include rest breaks, physical comfort, and reasonable work hours. Safety needs include safe working conditions, job security, base compensation, and benefits. Social needs are met by interactions with friendly coworkers, customers, and a supportive supervisor.
The higher order needs include self-esteem and self-actualization concerns. Self-esteem needs include responsibility for an important job, being promoted, and receiving praise and recognition from the leader. Self-actualization results from creative and challenging work, active participation in decision making, and job autonomy. Self-actualization is realized only if an employee performs tasks and work that express his or her inner self—the person the individual wishes to become.
Maslow's hierarchy has been criticized for several reasons. Commentators suggest that the theory does not explain how strongly a need must be satisfied before progression to the next level can occur. Others suggest that this order of needs is far too rigid and that many people experience them in a far different order. For example, some people's social needs for belongingness and love are far more important than self-actualization. Another pro.
Motivation is an action that stimulates an individual to take a course of action, which will result in an attainment of goals, or satisfaction of certain material or psychological needs of the individual. Motivation is a powerful tool in the hands of leaders. It can persuade convince and propel people to act.

Editor's Notes
People often talk about “purpose”, therefore self-evident that people are motivated by purpose, or goals. Specific goals lead to higher performance, assuming the individual accepts the goals. Specific goals better than “do your best” goals. An important aspect is the feedback loop, from the knowledge of results, which influences the direction, intensity, persistence and strategies.
Set a goal (or list of goals) for the forthcoming year
Specific – who is involved, what do I want to accomplish, location, time, requirements, constraints.Measureable – Criteria for understanding progress, how much, how many, when,Achieveable – Within ability, but optimistic, Realistic – willing and able to work towards. High and realistic.Timely – what is the time frame – can also stand for tangible.
