The document discusses various theories of motivation from a workplace perspective. It covers Maslow's hierarchy of needs, Herzberg's two-factor theory, cognitive dissonance theory, self-determination theory, achievement motivation theory, and goal-setting theory. Key points include that motivation comes from intrinsic and extrinsic sources, money is an indirect motivator while job satisfaction is direct, and motivated employees are more productive and creative.
The MTL Professional Development Programme is a collection of 202 PowerPoint presentations that will provide you with step-by-step summaries of a key management or personal development skill. This presentation is on "Play to their Strengths" and will show you why playing to people's strengths is one of the best ways to get the best out of your team.
Playing safely is not safe in today’s fast-paced competitive business environment. An individual, who seeks to stand out from the mob and practise novelty in highly uncertain business climate, works beyond the limits. Whitney Johnson has used the term “Disruption” – to understand why some individuals succeed in outstanding ways.
The title of the book i.e. “Disrupt yourself” inspires us to make the jump onto new learning curves, innovate, and stay at the top of the game. It shows the inconceivable value of recognizing what you are good at and finding unpredicted ways to use those strengths to the marketplace. The dramatic ‘jumps’ that Johnson encourages us to take truly form the basis of creativity and success.”
“The author has made an attempt to apply the lessons of disruptive innovation to personal growth. She shows us how to pursue roles suited to our own strengths, to follow our own unique and innovative way of thinking and doing – and to significantly increase our efficiency, creativity, and happiness.
This document discusses several theories related to circumstances under which pay increases motivate employees. It first discusses that pay increases can provide satisfaction to employees and motivate them to work on tasks they have little interest in. It then reviews several motivation theories including Maslow's hierarchy of needs, Herzberg's two-factor theory, Alderfer's ERG theory, McClelland's need for achievement theory, Adams' equity theory, Locke's goal setting theory, and Vroom's expectancy theory. The document concludes that according to these theories, there are several circumstances discussed in which increasing employee pay can lead to motivation, such as after working at a company for over three years during an economic recovery.
1) Motivation is defined as the process by which a person's efforts are energized, directed, and sustained towards attaining a goal. It results from an interaction between the person and the situation and is not a personal trait.
2) Early theories of motivation included Maslow's hierarchy of needs, McGregor's Theory X and Y, Herzberg's two-factor theory, and McClelland's three needs theory.
3) Contemporary theories of motivation discussed include goal-setting theory, reinforcement theory, job design models like the job characteristics model, equity theory, and expectancy theory. These theories aim to explain what motivates employees and how motivation can be managed.
This document provides an overview of motivation theories and concepts. It defines motivation as the wants or needs that direct behavior toward a goal. It discusses intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, as well as primary and secondary motives. Several major motivation theories are outlined, including Maslow's hierarchy of needs, Herzberg's two-factor theory, ERG theory, McClelland's needs theory, equity theory, goal setting theory, expectancy theory, and reinforcement theory. Key concepts from each theory are summarized.
This document discusses the differences between managers and leaders. It defines a manager as someone who gets work done through others by planning, directing, controlling, and motivating employees. A leader is defined as someone who creates new aims and initiatives change by challenging the status quo. The document then lists traits that effective leaders exhibit, including courage, pride, sincerity, and adaptability. It provides examples and advice for developing these leadership qualities.

This document discusses three types of intelligence beyond IQ that are important for success: emotional intelligence (EQ), moral intelligence (MQ), and body intelligence (BQ). It argues that EQ, MQ, and BQ are actually more important than IQ alone in predicting career achievement and standing out. EQ involves self-awareness, self-regulation, and relationship building. MQ relates to integrity, responsibility, and forgiveness. BQ reflects self-awareness of one's physical health and needs. Developing strengths in these other forms of intelligence, in addition to IQ, can lead to greater success than relying solely on academic skills and intelligence.
- Do you feel that you cannot achieve what you set out to do?
- Time passes and your debt gets bigger and bigger?
- You want to improve your health and your habits, but you can never start?
- Do you want to spend more time with the ones you love the most but there is never a chance?
Many times having the right motivation is the key, discover the principles of motivation!
This document provides an overview of theories of motivation from an organizational behavior textbook. It includes:
1) Early theories like Maslow's hierarchy of needs, McGregor's Theory X and Y, and Herzberg's two-factor theory.
2) Contemporary theories including McClelland's three needs theory, goal-setting theory, reinforcement theory, and the job characteristics model.
3) Additional topics of motivation covered are equity theory, expectancy theory, and current issues managers face in motivating employees.
This document discusses 8 factors that can affect employee motivation and productivity: 1) Interesting work that aligns with employees' interests and talents, 2) Appreciation and recognition of employees' efforts, 3) Involving employees in creating work processes, 4) Achievement through meaningful rewards and recognition, 5) Fostering job security through pride in the company rather than fear, 6) Paying employees according to their ability, 7) Creating a good working environment, and 8) Being part of a supportive team. The document emphasizes the importance of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation as well as social and psychological needs in the workplace.
The document discusses various theories of motivation, including:
- Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, which proposes that people are motivated to fulfill physiological, safety, social, esteem, and self-actualization needs.
- Herzberg's two-factor theory, which separates motivators like achievement and hygiene factors like policies.
- Locus of control theory, which examines whether people feel internally or externally motivated.
- Cognitive and humanistic perspectives on motivation, which focus on understanding and personal growth.
The role of managers is to understand employee needs and align rewards accordingly using both financial and non-financial incentives to motivate performance. The four main needs people have are survival, social, recognition, and achievement
The document discusses several theories of motivation:
1. Maslow's hierarchy of needs proposes that people are motivated to fulfill lower level needs like physiological and safety needs before pursuing higher level needs like esteem and self-actualization. However, the theory does not always accurately predict behavior.
2. Alderfer's ERG theory classifies needs into existence, relatedness, and growth, addressing some limitations of Maslow's model.
3. Cognitive evaluation theory distinguishes between intrinsic motivation from task performance and extrinsic motivation from rewards, proposing that extrinsic motivators can reduce intrinsic motivation.
4. Herzberg's two-factor theory separates motivators like achievement that enhance satisfaction from hygiene factors whose absence
The document summarizes Timothy Gallwey's book "The Inner Game of Tennis" and how it relates to NLP and neurosemantics. Some key points:
1) Gallwey discovered the importance of an "inner game" - the mental framework and self-talk that impacts performance. This inner game can help or hinder one's "outer game."
2) He described two "selves" - Self 1 interferes with natural learning through judgment, while Self 2 accesses our innate talents through awareness, choice, and trust.
3) These concepts of the inner game, two selves, and mental states like awareness fit closely with NLP's models of meta-states and frame

Perhaps the most intimidating aspect of leadership is knowing that in addition to playing an important role in a team’s success, leaders are held responsible for their team’s failures. In order to obtain great results from their teams, leaders must be able to consistently motivate their team members.
Knowledgeable workers must manage themselves.
This document discusses intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in retail design. It explains that retail designers must understand what motivates both consumers and clients in order to design stores that convey the right messages. Intrinsic motivation comes from within and involves enjoyment of an activity, while extrinsic motivation involves external factors like rewards and praise. The document also discusses various theories of motivation, including Maslow's hierarchy of needs and how marketers can appeal to both intrinsic and extrinsic motivations.
1. The document discusses several theories of motivation including Maslow's hierarchy of needs, Herzberg's two-factor theory, ERG theory, McClelland's achievement motivation theory, self-determination theory, and McGregor's Theory X and Theory Y.
2. Key aspects of the theories include intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, existence, relatedness and growth needs, the need for achievement, affiliation and power, autonomy, competence and relatedness.
3. The document also compares Theory X and Theory Y management styles and their underlying assumptions about human motivation and behavior.
This document provides guidance on fostering employee passion within an organization. It discusses 9 drivers of employee engagement: satisfaction, personal growth, peer rapport, management rapport, well-being, recognition & feedback, advocacy, empowerment, and culture. For each driver, it outlines metrics that can be measured and provides actionable advice for improving in each area in order to create an environment where employees feel passionate and engaged in their work. The overall goal is for employers to understand how to nurture passion among employees and help them further their impact.

- McGregor's Theory X and Theory Y assumptions about employee motivation.
- Herzberg's two-factor theory which separates motivators like achievement from hygiene factors like salary.
The document also provides tips for motivating employees such as understanding their needs, offering fair compensation, setting goals, and linking results to rewards.
1. McClelland's need theory identifies three basic needs - power, affiliation, and achievement. Alderfer's ERG theory categorizes needs into existence, relatedness, and growth.
2. Vroom's expectancy theory and Porter-Lawler model explain how motivation is influenced by expectations of rewards. Equity theory is based on people comparing their inputs and outcomes to others.
3. Financial incentives include productivity pay, performance pay, profit sharing, and stock options. Non-financial incentives are recognition, promotion, responsibility, and social satisfaction from work.
The document discusses the importance and benefits of optimism. It argues that optimism can boost productivity, enhance employee morale, help overcome conflict, and positively impact business results.

Optimism can be learned through practices like disputing pessimistic thoughts.
The document discusses different theories of motivation. It describes content theories, which focus on individual needs, and process theories, which examine cognitive processes that influence behavior. It also discusses needs theories proposed by Maslow and Alderfer, as well as McClelland's acquired needs theory.

Chapter 5
Theories of Motivation
L E A R N I N G O B J E C T I V E S
After reading this chapter, you should be able to do the following:
1. Understand the role of motivation in determining employee performance.
2. Classify the basic needs of employees.
3. Describe how fairness perceptions are determined and consequences of these
perceptions.
4. Understand the importance of rewards and punishments.
5. Apply motivation theories to analyze performance problems.
Motivation at Trader Joe’s
People in Hawaiian T-shirts. Delicious fresh fruits and vegetables. A place
where parking is tight and aisles are tiny. A place where you will be unable to
find half the things on your list but will go home satisfied. We are, of course,
talking about Trader Joe’s, a unique grocery store headquartered in California
and located in 22 states. By selling store-brand and gourmet foods at
affordable prices, this chain created a special niche for itself. Yet the helpful
employees who stock the shelves and answer questions are definitely a key
part of what makes this store unique and helps it achieve twice the sales of
traditional supermarkets.
Shopping here is fun, and chatting with employees is a routine part of this
experience. Employees are upbeat and friendly to each other and to
customers. If you look lost, there is the definite offer of help. But somehow the
friendliness does not seem scripted. Instead, if they see you shopping for big
trays of cheese, they might casually inquire if you are having a party and then
point to other selections. If they see you chasing your toddler, they are quick to

tie a balloon to his wrist. When you ask them if they have any cumin, they get
down on their knees to check the back of the aisle, with the attitude of helping
a guest that is visiting their home. How does a company make sure its
employees look like they enjoy being there to help others?
One of the keys to this puzzle is pay. Trader Joe’s sells cheap organic food, but
they are not “cheap” when it comes to paying their employees. Employees,
including part-timers, are among the best paid in the retail industry. Full-time
employees earn an average of $40,150 in their first year and also earn average
annual bonuses of $950 with $6,300 in retirement contributions. Store
managers’ average compensation is $132,000. With these generous benefits
and above-market wages and salaries, the company has no difficulty attracting
qualified candidates.
But money only partially explains what energizes Trader Joe’s employees.
They work with people who are friendly and upbeat. The envir ...

1) Autonomy is a fundamental human need and is important for intrinsic motivation. When employees feel their actions are controlled externally, their motivation decreases.
2) Several theories, including self-determination theory and the job characteristics model, have found that autonomy supports employee satisfaction when employees feel responsibility for their work outcomes.
3) To improve autonomy, employers can give employees more control over how, when, and where they work through setting autonomous goals, flexible schedules, and allowing remote work. Regular feedback is also important to ensure employees feel empowered.

The document discusses several theories of motivation in business organizations. It defines motivation as the willingness to exert effort towards organizational goals in order to satisfy individual needs. Key points include Maslow's hierarchy of needs, Herzberg's two-factor theory distinguishing between hygiene and motivational factors, and McGregor's Theory X and Y about employee assumptions.
The document discusses several theories of motivation, including:
1. Goal setting theory which proposes that goals influence employee effort, attention, persistence and strategies to accomplish tasks.
2. Expectancy theory which suggests that motivation depends on an employee's belief that effort will lead to good performance and that performance will be rewarded.
3. Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory which proposes that people are motivated to fulfill basic needs before moving to higher-level needs of achievement and self-actualization.

The document discusses several theories of motivation, including:
- Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, which proposes that basic needs must be met before higher-level needs can be fulfilled.
- Cognitive theories of motivation that examine how cognition and thinking influence motivation.
- Different forms of motivation like intrinsic motivation driven by internal factors and extrinsic motivation driven by external factors.
- Profiles of common motivational problems in students like being defensive or pretending to not try to avoid appearing dumb.
- Recommendations for motivating students including appealing to their growth needs and partnering struggling students with others.
Here are 10 managerial practices to motivate employees and an explanation of how each affects motivation:
1. Provide feedback - Regular feedback helps employees understand how they are performing and what they can improve. This gives a sense of progress and achievement.
2. Set clear goals - Well-defined, challenging yet attainable goals give employees a sense of purpose and direction in their work. Achieving goals is very motivating.
3. Recognize achievements - Publicly acknowledging an employee's successes, no matter how small, makes them feel valued and incentivizes continued good performance.
4. Offer learning opportunities - Training programs and chances to learn new skills prevent boredom and give employees a sense of growth in their careers.
The document discusses various aspects of motivation and human resource management. It defines motivation as the internal drive to act and satisfy needs from within an individual. It discusses different types of motivation including intrinsic motivation which involves engaging in behaviors for their own sake rather than for external rewards. Extrinsic motivation involves engaging in behaviors for external rewards like pay or praise. The document also discusses Maslow's hierarchy of needs and how it relates to motivation. It covers job enrichment strategies to make jobs more motivating as well as different management functions like planning, organizing, leading and controlling.
This document discusses motivation and improving employee performance. It covers motivation theories like Maslow's hierarchy of needs, Herzberg's two-factor theory, and expectancy theory. It discusses factors that influence motivation like values, attitudes, understanding behavior, having the right atmosphere, and clear objectives. It provides strategies for motivating employees like setting development objectives, giving recognition, dealing with performance issues, and ensuring employees have the resources to succeed. The overall purpose is to understand motivation and how managers can improve employee performance.
This document discusses different theories of motivation. It covers:
1) Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory which identifies 5 levels of individual needs.
2) Equity theory which states that people are motivated to behave in ways that restore or maintain fairness in relationships.
3) Expectancy theory which says motivation is a function of expectancy, instrumentality, and valence. It explains how expectations of rewards influence motivation.
4) Goal-setting theory which found that specific, challenging goals lead to higher motivation and performance compared to vague goals, especially with feedback.

The areas captured are relevant in today's context at the workplace. The concepts and applications delve on people, organization, structure and how behavior of employees and leaders in organizations bring efficiency and effectivity.
Motivation theory aims to understand what drives people to work towards goals. There are intrinsic and extrinsic motivation factors. Intrinsic factors include satisfying needs, while extrinsic involve external rewards. Managers can improve motivation through rewards, recognition, and training. Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs proposes that lower level needs like physiological and safety must be met before higher needs such as esteem and self-actualization can motivate.
Here are a few key points on the role of money in motivating Indian employees:
- For most Indian employees, basic financial security and needs are important motivating factors given the country's developing economy. Meeting basic needs like paying bills, supporting a family, saving for the future etc. are priorities. So money does play an important role in motivation.
- However, money alone may not be a long-term sustaining motivator. While pay is important, Indian employees also want meaningful work, growth opportunities, recognition from managers/leaders, an engaging workplace culture etc. Non-monetary factors become increasingly important over time.
- In jobs that are more mundane or repetitive, money could be a stronger motivator
The document provides a report on employee motivation within an organization. It discusses several key points:
1) The introduction defines motivation and its importance for both employees and employers in understanding what drives performance. It also outlines some of the early research on motivation through the Hawthorne Studies.
2) The research aims and objectives are to understand the relationship between motivation and performance and analyze common motivation theories and approaches used in organizations.
3) Maslow's hierarchy of needs is discussed as one of the motivation theories, outlining the five levels of needs from physiological to self-actualization.
4) Other motivation theories mentioned include Vroom's expectancy theory, Herzberg's two-factor theory, and McG
Employee motivation is important for a strong team and high performance. Low motivation can negatively impact morale, initiative, energy levels and increase mistakes and staff turnover. A self-motivation action plan in three steps can help boost motivation: 1) Clarify goals, 2) Identify obstacles, 3) Handle each obstacle. Common myths include thinking money alone motivates or that the employee is always right. Effective strategies involve finding the right job for each person, empowering employees, cooperation over competition, performance over "presenteeism", and making employees feel safe, valued and involved.
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.
The document discusses various theories and types of motivation. It defines motivation as the driving force that causes people to achieve their goals. It describes different intrinsic and extrinsic motivators, as well as theories such as Maslow's hierarchy of needs, Herzberg's two-factor theory, and expectancy theory. The document also discusses the importance of self-motivation and having direction, focus, and confidence.

INTRODUCTION
The de-motivated or plateau-ed performer is the person
who reaches a certain level of performance, in both meeting
standards and producing results, and then goes no further.
In time, without further improvement, staying still results in
a decline in achievement, as others pass them by or
standards are raised. When a person can perform but
chooses not to, the problem is likely to lie in motivation.

PLATEAU-ED PERFORMANCE
All activity, work and performance have motivation at their
heart. We take action - move ourselves forward - in the
belief that we will gain in some way. This view is not shared
by the plateau-ed performer.
The plateau-ed performer is typically an experienced
employee who knows their present job well, can perform
without too much effort and is content with the rewards
they already get. They may no longer have the expectation
of promotion or large pay rises and are likely to convince
themselves that it is better to stick to a low level of
performance than to work for anything better.
Performance can plateau, or level out, when it fails to reach
the level of others in the team; it can also plateau in relation
to what the individual is capable of achieving themselves.

MOTIVATION
For many years in the mid 20th century, it was believed that
the key to improving the contributions of workers was
motivation. Motivating people - what you need to do to get
others to do what you want - became the holy grail of
management.
The motivational psychologist, Victor Vroom, studied 500
companies in search of one universal theory of motivation.
But to no avail. Nobody, it seems, and least of all ourselves,
knows precisely and in any predictable way, what motivates
people and what doesn’t.
Some of the theories of motivation work some of the time,
others don't. What is clear is that, except by using physical
force, which is ultimately counter-productive, you cannot
make another person do anything they don't want to do by
their own free will.

HOW TO MOTIVATE
Amongst the many theories put forward by those who have
studied people at work, nine motivational theories pre-
dominate.
These are...
1. the associations of pleasure and pain
2. money
3. recognition
4. personal needs
5. matching expectations with outcomes
6. team chemistry
7. goal motivation
8. meaningfulness
9. personal motivators
It is now generally believed that internal motivators, such as
commitment to goals and meeting personal needs, are
more motivational over a long period than external
motivators, such as money and recognition.

CARROT AND STICK
The most basic form of human motivation is pleasure and
pain. We seek those courses of action that we believe will
result in pleasure and avoid those that we believe will end in
pain.
This simple instinctive theory suggests why many plateau-ed
performers dislike the thought of change. They believe it will
be uncomfortable, require too much effort and involve
painful self-awareness.
The "carrot and stick" is the practical application of the
instinctive theory of pleasure and pain. In these cases, we
are offered the prospect of something pleasurable as a
carrot (money, praise, kind words, a happy workplace,
security...) and the prospect of something painful as a stick
(loss of money, loss of job, bad feelings, unhappiness, a
dismal cv, a poor reference...)

MONEY
F.W. Taylor and the early management theorists were in no
doubt that money was the only true motivator. Their simple
management theories were built around the concept that,
to get a person to perform and continue to perform, you
only needed to pay him enough. Taylor proved this by
showing how people responded to incentive schemes.
Much later, in the 1950's, Davison proved again that when
more money is offered by way of bonus schemes, profit pay,
productivity pay and piece-work, performance improves.
Davison measured a 60% rise in output at six British
factories when bonuses were paid.
But money is not a simple motivator. Its motivational effects
may last only a short time and when it is given
disproportionately and unfairly or in place of things people
would rather have, it may even act as a disincentive.

MONEY AND MOTIVATION
While money is undoubtedly the major motivator in
performance, our attitudes towards money are far from
simple...
1. money regularly figures low on people's lists of why
they go to work, often after "security", "self-
achievement" and "companionship“
2. money may act as an incentive only for a brief period
after it is given and then it is taken for granted
3. it is not the possession of money itself that produces
the feeling of self-worth but how much you get
compared to others
4. people expect some relationship between what you
have done to earn it and the amount of money you get.
Most people agree that people who are qualified or do
hazardous work should receive more than those who
don't.

RECOGNITION
Recognition and non-recognition are the emotional
equivalents of the carrot and the stick: recognition of
ourselves and our work makes us feel good; non-recognition
and being taken for granted makes us feel bad.
Recognition of others is one of the simplest motivators. It
includes...
• using a person's name
• showing interest in their work
• remembering things about them
• asking questions
• asking people for help
• giving simple strokes, both verbally and non-verbally
• praising work well done.

THE HAWTHORNE EFFECT
While seeking their own theory of motivation, a team of
psychologists led by Elton Mayo carried out a series of
experiments at the GEC Hawthorne plant in Chicago from
the 1930's onwards.
In one renowned study, they experimented with different
levels of lighting, lengths of break, and lengths of the
working day, to find a connection between the best
conditions and the best output. What they stumbled on
instead was that productivity defied any set conditions. To
their amazement, productivity went up when conditions
deteriorated. In one study of lighting levels, it even
continued to rise when the level was close to moonlight.
After a series of such findings, the experimenters concluded
that it was their own presence and the recognition given by
them to the workers that made all the difference to how
well people worked.

MEETING OUR NEEDS
Needs motivation theory argues that we are more
motivated by what we don't yet have and need, than what
we do have and no longer need.
This is the motivation that drives both rich and poor to
work: the rich, perhaps, to meet a need for achievement,
the poor to meet a need to survive.
Psychologist Abraham Maslow identified five recurring and
ever-present needs that motivate us...
1. the need for basic requirements such as money and
what money can buy

EXPECTANCY THEORY
I Porter and E Lawler were two motivational theorists who
suggested that we are motivated at work only to the extent
that we expect our efforts to bring about desired rewards.
Motivation = expected rewards x strength of desire for the
outcome
The model is complicated by the level of ability, control over
performance and role perceptions. So motivation is higher
when we believe that by working hard we will receive the
promotion we want, knowing that we have the skills, the
control over what happens and are in the right job to make
it happen. It is correspondingly lower when we don't believe
we will get it or because we don't have the skill or the
power to make it happen.

TEAM CHEMISTRY
The performance of individual employees can be as
adversely affected by the team they belong to as much as it
can be beneficially affected.
No fool-proof formula exists where team chemistry is
concerned but as a general rule the performance of
individuals can be improved when...
1. they work physically close to others whose performance
is high
2. they work in teams where people have more things in
common than things which divide them
3. they work in teams where people like one another
4. they work in teams which co-operate rather than
compete
5. the combination of different skills produces a synergistic
result of added value
6. they join teams whose overall performance is
achievably higher than their own.

GOING FOR GOAL
Research shows that goals which are clear, specific and
reachable produce a higher level of motivation than goals
which are vague, unspecific and out of reach. Desired goals
that are just outside our reach have an almost magnetic
effect on us.
Research by Harold Leavitt and Ronald Mueller found that
when a group was given specific goals, 62% of the targets
were met as against only 27% when the goals were not
specified.
Motivational goals need to be more than specific: they
should also be ones that people feel strongly about, should
be worthwhile and should fit in with other things that the
person wants.

MEANINGFULNESS
When people see little or no connection between what they
do and why they are doing it, there is usually a low level of
motivation. People are merely going through the motions.
This can happen when there is distance between the
producers and consumers. Bridging the gap through
information, education and feedback can turn
meaninglessness into meaningfulness.
Wyatt describes how during the Second World War the
output of British armament factories rose by three times
after the factory workers met and spoke to the air crews
who were to use their products.

PERSONAL MOTIVATORS
All one-to-one appraisals between boss and subordinate are
effectively exercises in personal motivation. They should be
attempts by the manager to discover the one thing that we
are highly motivated to do, in other words our unique
personal motivators.
When managers discover personal motivators, the chance
to plan work around them can be held out as an incentive,
("if you complete the main project on time, we can give you
time on your pet project,") or as a reward for work well
done ("you've done well; I think we can give you time on
your pet project").
Personal motivators, when discovered, are always more
powerful than using artificial motivators, such as money and
status. Good appraisers recognise the value of finding out
the things people want to do because they want to do
them.

THE THINGS I WANT TO DO
We each have our own personal motivators. They are the
things we like to do which come easily to us. We often do
them for little or no additional reward.
Nine important personal motivators are...
1. the chance to excel at something
2. the chance to work with others
3. the chance to do something high-profile
4. the chance to be creative
5. the chance to do research
6. the chance to serve others
7. the chance to do new and exciting things
8. the chance to take charge
9. the chance to do things in our own way.
"The more I want to do something, the less I call it work."

APPRAISAL MOTIVATION
When appraisal interviews are conducted successfully,
people often report a rise in motivation. This can be due to
any of the many motivational factors which theory tells us
inspire people and which can be present in appraisals.
These include...
• handing out rewards and bonuses
• offering incentives
• showing interest as the boss
• providing useful and meaningful information
• enhancing the feel-good relationship between boss and
subordinate
• feeling more secure about your job and yourself.
"I'm slowly becoming a convert to the principle that you
can't motivate people to do things; you can only de-
motivate them. The primary job of the manager is not to
empower, but to remove obstacles." (Scott Adams)

APPRAISAL DE-MOTIVATION
Just as appraisals can inject a high dose of motivation,
particularly for those who need it such as the plateau-ed
performer, so they can equally result in de-motivation if
they are not managed well.
This can happen when...
1. expected or promised rewards are not forthcoming
2. the boss shows no genuine interest
3. the discussions do not centre on the needs of the
appraisee
4. there is a feeling of control and manipulation aimed at
getting the appraisee to agree to plans that have
already been worked out
5. changes are made that take the employee away from
the team
6. new goals are not in line with what the appraisee wants
7. enough is said to make the appraisee start to feel
insecure.
