This document discusses six major theories of motivation: cognitive evaluation theory, goal setting theory, self-efficacy theory, reinforcement theory, equity theory, and expectancy theory. It provides an overview of each theory, including key concepts and assumptions. For example, it explains that cognitive evaluation theory focuses on how extrinsic rewards can undermine intrinsic motivation, goal setting theory emphasizes that specific, difficult goals lead to higher performance, and expectancy theory proposes that motivation depends on expectations of effort leading to performance and performance leading to outcomes.
Motivation is the word derived from the word ’motive’ which means needs, desires, wants or drives within the individuals. It is the process of stimulating people to actions to accomplish the goals.

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.

3. What is motivation?
Contemporary theories of motivation
-Cognitive Evaluation Theory
-Goal Setting Theory
-Self Efficacy Theory
-Reinforcement Theory
-Equity Theory
-Expectancy Theory
4. What is motivation?
Motivation is the process that account for an
individual’s intensity, direction and persistence of
effort toward attaining a goal.
Motivation is the result of the interaction between an
individual and a situation.
Motivation process is universal, all people are
motivated to pursue goals they value.
The level of motivation varies both between
individuals and within individuals at different times.
5. Contemporary theories
of motivation
Each contemporary theory has a reasonable degree of
valid supporting documentation. We call them
“contemporary theories” not because they were all
developed recently but because they represent current
state of thinking in explaining employee motivation.
Cognitive Evaluation Theory
Goal Setting Theory
Self Efficacy Theory
Reinforcement Theory
Equity Theory
Expectancy Theory
6. Cognitive Evaluation Theory
A theory that states that allocating extrinsic rewards for
behavior that had been previously intrinsically rewarding tends
to decrease the overall level of motivation.
When looking at task, we evaluate it in terms of how well it
meets our needs to feel competent and in control. If we think we
will be able to complete the task, we will be intrinsically
motivated to complete the task, requiring no further external
motivation.
People may see external rewards as achieving some degree of
control over them or may see the reward as informational, such
as where they reinforce feelings of competence and self-
determination. When people see the reward as mostly for
control they will be motivated by gaining the reward but not by
enacting the requested behavior.
7.
8. A recent outgrowth of cognitive evaluation theory is self
concordance, which considers the degree to which people’s
reasons for pursuing goals are consistent with their interests
and core values.
For example: If individuals pursue goals because of an
intrinsic interest, they are more likely to attain goals and are
happy even if they don’t attain them.
In contrast, people who pursue goals for extrinsic reasons are
less likely to attain their goals and are less happy even when
they do achieve them.
9. Goal Setting Theory
A theory that says that specific and difficult goals with
feedback, lead to higher performance.
According to Edwin Locke, intentions to work toward a goal are
a major source of work motivation.
Goals tell an employee what needs to be done and how much
effort will need to be extended.
“More difficult the goal, higher the level of performance”
because:
Challenging goals help to get our attention and tend to help us
focus.
Difficult goals energize us because we have to work harder to
attain them.
10. When goals are difficult, people persist in trying to attain them.
Difficult goals lead us to discover strategies that help us to
perform the job or task more efficiently.
People do better when they get feedback on how well they are
progressing toward their goals because feedback helps to
identify discrepancies between what they have done and what
they want to do; that is , feedback acts to guide behavior.
Factors that have been found to influence the goals-performance
relationship are:
o Goal commitment-Goal setting theory presupposes that an
individual is committed to the goal. Individual believes that
he/she can achieve the goal or wants to achieve it.
11. o Task characteristics-Goals seem to have a more substantial
effect on performance rather than complex and independent
rather than interdependent.
o National culture-Goal setting theory is culture bound. It
assumes that employees will be reasonably independent, that
managers and employee will seek challenging goals and that
performance is considered important by both.
12. Self Efficacy Theory
Self efficacy(also known as social cognitive theory or social
learning theory) refers to an individual’s belief that he/she is
capable of performing a task.
Higher your self efficacy, the more confidence you have in your
ability to succeed in a task and respond to negative feedback
with increased effort and motivation.
Self efficacy can be increased by four ways:
o Enactive mastery-gaining relevant experience with the task or
job.
o Vicarious modeling-becoming more confident because you
see someone else doing the task.
13. o Verbal persuasion-becoming more confident because
convinces you that you have the skills necessary to be
successful.
o Arousal-leads to an energized state, which drives a person to
complete a task. But, when arousal is not relevant, then arousal
hurts performance.
Goal setting theory and self efficacy theory don’t compete with
one another; rather they complement each other.
14. Reinforcement Theory
A theory that says that behavior is a function of its
consequences.
Ignores internal state of a person.
Focuses only on what happens to a person as a result of an
action taken.
Ignores elements like: feelings, attitudes, expectations etc.
“Understand relationship between behaviors and
consequences….arrange contingences that reinforce desirable
behaviors and discourage undesirable behaviors”.

16. Equity Theory
A theory that says that behavior is a function of its
consequences.
Motivation is influenced significantly by others’ rewards as well
as by one’s own rewards.
Most research has focused on pay, but employees seem to look
for equity in the distribution of other rewards.
Historically, equity theory focused on distributive justice. But
increasingly equity is thought of from the standpoint of
organizational justice.
Managers should consider openly sharing information on how
allocation decisions are made, following consistent and
unbiased procedures.

19. Expectancy Theory
The strength of a tendency to act in a certain way depends on
the strength of an expectation that the act will be followed by a
given outcome and on the attractiveness of that the outcome to
the individual.
The theory focuses on three relationships:
1. Effort-performance.
2. Performance-reward.
3. Rewards-personal goals.
