Ask, “What will motive people to willingly work toward organizational goals?”

Story: There was once a great war between two countries. On a hot afternoon, a man in civilian clothes was riding past a small group of tired soldiers digging a huge pit, doing a seemingly impossible task.

The group leader was shouting orders and threatening punishment if the work was not completed within the hour.

The man riding the horse stopped and asked, ‘Sir, why can’t you help them yourself?’ The group leader replied, ’I am the leader. The men do as I tell them. If you feel so strongly, go help them!’

The man worked with the soldiers till the job was finished! Before leaving, he congratulated the soldiers for their work, and approaching the group leader said, ‘The next time your status prevents you from supporting your people, inform your higher authorities and I will provide a more permanent solution.’

The group leader was completely surprised. Only now he realised that the man was in fact the army general!

What does a person bring to job?The competent person has the aptitude, ability and self-confidence to do a task.

Willingness involves motivation to focus on the tasks that add value to the organisation.

Can we motivate others?

No, we cannot. People motivate themselves.

What we can do, however, is inspire them to motivate themselves.

We can create a conducive environment which can be motivating.

Inspiration is changing thinking; Motivation is changing action.

Motivation is like fire – unless you keep adding fuel to it, it dies.

Just like food don’t last long, neither does motivation.

Need:

In order to inspire people to motivate themselves, we need to understand their needs and wants.

A need is a deficiency experienced by an individual.

Eg: Less salary, Less marks.

MASLOW’S HIERARCHY OF MASLOW’S HIERARCHY OF NEEDSNEEDS

Human needs arrange themselves in hierarchies of pre-potency.

That is to say, the appearance of one need usually rests on the prior satisfaction of another, more pre-potent need.

Man is perpetually wanting animal.

MASLOW’S HIERARCHY MASLOW’S HIERARCHY OFOF

NEEDSNEEDS

• MAN IS A WANTING BEING

• BEHAVIOUR IS MOTIVATED BY UNSATISFIED NEEDS

• HIERARCHY OF NEEDS

Abraham Maslow was a Clinical Psychologist who, in 1943 presented this theory. He argued that human beings are wanting animals. They have innate desires to satisfy a given set of needs.

Further more, Maslow believed these needs are arranged in a hierarchy of importance, with the most basic need at the bottom of hierarchy.

The 3 sets of needs at the bottom of the hierarchy are called deficiency needs or basic needs, because they must be satisfied for the individual to be fundamentally comfortable.

The top two sets of need are termed growth needs or meta needs, because they focus on personal growth and development.

Hertzberg Two-factor Theory

Hertzberg two-factor theory also known as motivation-hygiene theory of motivation was developed by Hertzberg (1959).

He has given two kinds of factors- intrinsic or motivators and extrinsic or hygiene factor.

According to Hertzberg these Hygiene factor/extrinsic factor lead to dissatisfaction whereas motivators/intrinsic factor lead to satisfaction.

Motivation FactorsThe motivation factor is the most important of the two sets of factors, because they directly affect a person's motivational drive to do a good job. According to Hertzberg, building motivation factors into a job produces job satisfaction.

When these factors are present, they lead to superior performance and effort on the part of job incumbents. Motivation factors lead to positive mental health and challenge people to grow, contribute to the work environment, and invest themselves in the organization.

When they are absent, the person will be de-motivated to perform well and achieve excellence.

Hygiene FactorsThese factors relate to the context of the job and may be considered support factors. Job dissatisfaction occurs when the hygiene factors are either not present or not sufficient.

They do not directly affect a person's motivation to work but influence the extent of the person's discontent. These factors cannot stimulate psychological growth or human development.

Excellent hygiene factors result in employees' being not dissatisfied and contribute to the absence of complaints about these contextual considerations.
