...3) Critically discuss how knowledge of process theories of motivation should influence managing the performance of diverse teams within global organisations. Introduction Employee performance has commonly been shown as the function of ability, motivation and situational circumstances, with this one equation it can now be seen that although having talent within an organisation is important, without motivation employee performance can never be optimised. Motivation is considered the be the driving force behind the behaviours we carry out to achieve a goal, finding and creating the right motivational triggers for an employee can prove troublesome, but it is of the upmost importance if a business wants to become successful (Burford et al 1995; Nhat et al 2013). Theories surrounding the mechanism as to how motivation is precipitated within an individual or group are known as process theories of motivation (Ashleigh and Mansi, 2012). Process theories have been largely influential for organisations who are considering how they can optimise motivation; however with the growth and development of multinational organisations can they still be effectively applied? Hofstede’s (1980) work surrounding the pertinence of American motivational theories in different cultural settings identified several key cultural dimensions which should be taken into account. Of this the Individualism Dimension (IDV) was highlighted as having a prominent effect on how motivational theories could be applied...

This essay’s aim is to analyse and establish an understanding of various motivation theories and their possible application within organisations. Along with implementing, the information related to motivation, this essay would demonstrate the importance of motivation and it is necessary for organisations to motivate their employees effectively Motivation derives from the Latin word “movere” which means to move. Luthans (1998) defines motivation as “a process which begins with physiological or psychological need or deficiency which triggers behaviour or a drive that is aimed at a goal or an incentive“. In other words, an individual must feel a need to an extent that will drive them to satisfying it. Some psychologists and business people define motivation as the thing that makes people do something, which usually they will not do. Motivation is a fundamental psychological approach where the management process of inducing employee’s behaviour established on the evidence of what causes people to click (Luthans, 1998). Theories of motivation presume that motivational behaviour happens due to work fulfils their psychological needs or because there appears to be a link between effort and performance and performance and value of outcomes (R. Fincham and. Rhodes 2009). There are two types of motivational theories: content theories, which focus...

...study of individuals and groups in organizations. Incorporated with this study are various scientific foundations that link multiple psychological theories and process together that looks closer at individual attitudes, group dynamics and relationships between managers and workers. From this study and foundation we can look specifically at the role of two motivation theory process: Expectancy Theory of Motivation and Extrinsic Theory of Motivation. To begin we define motivation as "forces within an individual that account for the level, direction, and persistence of effort expended at work." (Schermerhorn, Hunt, Osborn-2008) Relating these forces to expectance and extrinsic theories, direction refers to the choice an individual makes when presented with multiple choices; level refers to the effort an individual put forth; and persistence refers to the tanasity of the individual to continue with or complete a particular task that is difficult in nature. While the process theory itself focuses on thoughts or cognitions taking place within an individual's mind that will influence behavior; it is in this process theory that we probe deeper into the expectance and extrinsic motivators that are influenced by these cognitions. Expectancy Theory of Motivation The expectancy theory of motivation is a process theory that Victor Vroom, a business school professor at the Yale School of Management, argues is determined by individual beliefs regarding effort and performance...

...future Oxford dictionary defines motivation as the desire or willingness to do something or having an enthusiasm to do it. It comes from the word motivate which Webster dictionary defines as to provide something with a motive. Motivation is therefore the act of inspiring or stimulating someone to do something. In his book “Great Motivation Secrets of Great Leaders”, John Baldoni says that motivation is that art of getting somebody do what you want them to do because they want to do it (Baldoni 7). Managers have a duty of motivating their employees so that they can achieve not only the goals of the organization, but also to meet their own personal goals. This is the trend with the modern organizations where the policies implementation boards in these organizations, seek ways to support this aspect (McClelland 467). There are various factors that influence why employees may be motivated. It is these factors that researchers have used to develop what is referred as the motivation theories. For example, in incentive theory, rewards may act as an incentive to motivate an employee. However, the real motivation comes from within and this factor has been used to develop what is commonly referred as the intrinsic theory of motivation. This paper examines differences between content and process theory. In examining these theories, it is important to look first at how they are developed. Process theory focuses sequence of events referred as the state process that leads to a certain outcome...

It will first explain the three key components and relationships of the expectancy theory of motivation. These components include Expectancy, Instrumentality and Valence. In addition, it will explain how to enhance the motivation of employees in a fictional but real-life modeled scenario using the Expectancy theory of motivation. After studying this paper, the reader should be able to explain the main components of the Expectancy theory of motivation and apply it’s concepts as an approach to improving performance in a given workplace situation. ______________________________________________________________________________ Behavioral Influences - Expectation Theory of Motivation The subject of motivation has received a great deal of attention in the social sciences, especially when it comes to organizational behavior and management in the workplace. One of the most widely accepted theories of motivation includes Victor Vroom’s Expectancy theory, which was first introduced in 1964.

...to employees as well as employees. This will lead to a good public image in the market which will attract competent and qualified people into a concern. As it is said, “Old is gold” which suffices with the role of motivation here, the older the people, more the experience and their adjustment into a concern which can be of benefit to the enterprise. From the above discussion, we can say that motivation is an internal feeling which can be understood only by manager since he is in close contact with the employees. Needs, wants and desires are inter-related and they are the driving force to act. These needs can be understood by the manager and he can frame motivation plans accordingly. We can say that motivation therefore is a continuous process since motivation process is based on needs which are unlimited. The process has to be continued throughout. We can summarize by saying that motivation is important both to an individual and a business. Motivation is important to an individual as: Motivation will help him achieve his personal goals. If an individual is motivated, he will have job satisfaction. Motivation will help in self-development of individual. An individual would always gain by working with a dynamic team. Similarly, motivation is important to a business as: The more motivated the employees are, the more empowered the team is. The more is the team work and individual employee contribution, more profitable and successful is the...

...Improving Motivation CEO Family First Rehabilitation Center What is Motivation ? Motivation is “the process that accounts for an individual’s intensity, direction, and persistence of effort toward attaining a goal.” Robbins, S.P., & Judge, T. (2014). In order to work toward attaining a specific goal here at First Family Rehabilitation Center, an employee must possess intensity to complete specific goals and choose the most accurate direction that will benefit our organization.

...Perception & Impression Management Perception: Meaning and Definition Perception is the process of receiving information about and making sense of the world around us. It involves deciding which information to notice, how to categorize this information, and how to interpret it within the framework of our existing knowledge and experience. Perception includes all those processes by which an individual receives information about the environment-seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting and smelling. The study of these perceptual processes shows that their functioning is affected by three classes of variables : the object or event is being perceived, the environment in which the perception occurs, and the individual doing the perceiving. Perception and Behaviour at Work Perception is a complex cognitive process which in sum, is a unique interpretation of a situation not an exact recording of it. It may reveal a picture of the world which is different from reality. Recognition of difference between the perceptual world and the real world is vital to the study of Behaviour at Work. Specific Applications of Perceptions in Organization: * In an interview-selection of the candidate, * Hiring of new employees to the Organization * To note down the realistic job expectations. * Performance Appraisal of the employee * Assessing the employee loyal to the Organization made by the Managers * Creating Favourable impressions about the Organization, employee as well...
