• Needs Theories
• Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs• Herzberg’s Motivation-Hygiene Theory (Two-Factor
Theory)• ERG Theory (Aldefer)• Acquired Needs Theory (McClelland)
22–12
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
• Physiological • It includes hunger, thirst, shelter and other body needs.
• Safety• It includes security and protection from physical and emotional harms.
• Social• It include affection, belongingness, acceptance and friendship.
• Esteem• It includes internal esteem factors such as self-respect, autonomy,
achievement; and external esteem factors such as status, recognition and attention.
• Self Actualization• The drive to become what one is capable of becoming; includes
growth, and achieving one’s potential.
22–13
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
Needs were categorized as five levels of lower- to higher-order needs. Individuals must satisfy lower-order needs before they
can satisfy higher order needs. Satisfied needs will no longer motivate. Motivating a person depends on knowing at what level
that person is on the hierarchy.Hierarchy of needs
Lower-order (external): physiological, safety Higher-order (internal): social, esteem, self-actualization
22–14
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
• Weakness of Theory
• 1. Five levels of need are not always present.
• 2. Order is not always the same.
• 3. Cultural difference
22–15
Herzberg’s Motivation-Hygiene Theory
Job satisfaction and job dissatisfaction are created by different factors. Hygiene factors: extrinsic (environmental) factors that
create job dissatisfaction. Company policy, Administration, Supervision, Working Condition and Salary .
Motivators: intrinsic (psychological) factors that create job satisfaction. Achievement, recognition, work itself, responsibility, advancement and growth.
Attempted to explain why job satisfaction does not result in increased performance. The opposite of satisfaction is not dissatisfaction, but
rather no satisfaction.
22–18
MaClelland’s Theory of Needs
• Theory stating that our needs are acquired or learned on the basis of our life experiences. Three-Needs Theory
• Need for Achievement• The drive to excel, achieve in relation to a set of
standards, to strive to succeed. • Need for Power• The needs to make others behave in a way that they
would not have behaved otherwise.• Need for Affiliation• The desire for friendly and close interpersonal
relationships.

desire responsibility, and like to work.Motivation is maximized by participative decision
making, interesting jobs, and good group relations.

• Cognitive or Process Responsive Theories
Equity Theory Expectancy Theory Goal-Setting Theory
Why people choose certain behavioral options to satisfy their needs and how they evaluate their satisfaction after they have attained their goals.
22–21
• Equity Theory
• Theory arguing that we prefer situations of Balance or Equity. Proposes that employees perceive what they get from a job situation
(outcomes) in relation to what they put in (inputs) and then compare their inputs-outcomes ratio with the inputs-outcomes ratios of relevant others. If the ratios are perceived as equal then a state of equity (fairness)
exists. If the ratios are perceived as unequal, inequity exists and the person
feels under- or over-rewarded. If under reward then you experience anger or frustration! If over reward the you may experience guilt!
When inequities occur, employees will attempt to do something to rebalance the ratios (seek justice).
22–22
• Reaction to Perceived Inequity
1. Reduce inputs
2. Increase outcomes
3. Rationalize inputs or outcomes
4. Change for the referent
5. Leave
22–23
Equity Theory
Employee responses to perceived inequities: Distort own or others’ ratios. Induce others to change their own inputs or outcomes. Change own inputs (increase or decrease efforts) or
outcomes (seek greater rewards). Choose a different comparison (referent) other (person,
systems, or self). Quit their job.
Employees are concerned with both the absolute and relative nature of organizational rewards.
22–24
Equity Theory
Distributive justice The perceived fairness of the amount and allocation of
rewards among individuals (i.e., who received what).– Influences an employee’s satisfaction.
Distributive The perceived fairness of the process use to determine
the distribution of rewards (i.e., how who received what).– Affects an employee’s organizational commitment.
