Expected individual worker output to increase. Found no change in worker output. Workers established informal norms because they feared the company would increase their quota. Impact of the Hawthorne Studies • Elton Mayo is considered the father of the Human Relations movement • Human Relations recognizes that there are other factors beyond rational economics that drive individual behavior. • Productivity and satisfaction are inextricably linked—You cannot forget the human side of the equation Enter Organizational Behavior Toward an OB Discipline Behavioural science Psychology Sociology Contribution Learning Motivation Perception Training Leadership effectiveness Job satisfaction Individual decision making Performance appraisal Attitude measurement Employee selection Work design Work stress Individual Group Behavioural change Attitude change Communication Group processes Group decision making Comparative values Comparative attitudes Cross-cultural analysis Anthropology Organizational culture Organizational environment Political science Output Group dynamics Work teams Communication Power Conflict Intergroup behaviour Formal organization theory Organizational technology Organizational change Organizational culture Social psychology Unit of analysis Conflict Intraorganizational politics Power Organization system Study of Organizational Behaviour Contributing Disciplines to the OB Field EXHIBIT 1-3a Contributing Disciplines to the OB Field EXHIBIT 1-3b Contributing Disciplines to the OB Field EXHIBIT 1-3c Contributing Disciplines to the OB Field EXHIBIT 1-3d Contributing Disciplines to the OB Field EXHIBIT 1-3f FUNDAMENTALS OF INDIVIDUAL BEHAVIOUR PSYCHOLOGIST KURT LEVIN B = F (P, E) SO THAT BEHAVIOUR (B) IS A FUNCTION (F) OF A PERSON (P) AND ENVIRONMENT (E) AROUND HIM.

AIMA-PGCM-GM11 52 LEADERSHIP THE PROCESS OF DIRECTING AND INFLUENCING THE TASK-RELATED ACTIVITIES OF GROUP MEMBERS. FIRST, LEADERSHIP INVOLVES OTHER PEOPLE – EMPLOYEES OR FOLLOWERS. BY THEIR WILLINGNESS TO ACCEPT DIRECTIONS FROM THE LEADER, GROUP MEMBERS HELP DEFINE THE LEADER’S STATUS AND MAKE THE LEADERSHIP PROCESS POSSIBLE; WITHOUT PEOPLE TO LEAD, ALL THE LEADERSHIP QUALITIES OF A MANAGER WOULD BE IRRELEVANT. AIMA-PGCM-GM11 53 SECOND, LEADERSHIP INVOLVES AND UNEQUAL DISTRIBUTION OF POWER BETWEEN LEADERS AND GROUP MEMBERS. GROUP MEMBERS ARE NOT POWERLESS; THEY CAN AND DOSHAPE GROUP ACTIVITIES IN A NUMBER OF WAYS. A THIRD ASPECT OF LEADERSHIP IS THE ABILITY TO USE THE DIFFERENT FORMS OF POWER TO INFLUENCE FOLLOWERS’ BEHAVIORS IN A NUMBER OF WAYS. INDEED, LEADERS HAVE INFLUENCED SOLDIERS TO KILL AND LEADERS HAVE INFLUENCED EMPLOYEES TO MAKE PERSONAL SACRIFICES FOR THE GOOD OF THE COMPANY. AIMA-PGCM-GM11 54 FOURTH ASPECT COMBINES THE FIRST THREE AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT LEADERSHIP IS ABOUT VALUES. MORAL LEADERSHIP CONCERNS VALUES AND REQUIRES THAT FOLLOWERS BE GIVEN ENOUGH KNOWLEDGE OF ALTERNATIVES TO MAKE INTELLIGENT CHOICES WHEN IT COMES TIME TO RESPOND TO A LEADER’S PROPOSAL TO LEAD.

FIEDLER AND HIS ASSOCIATES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS HAVE SUGGESTED A CONTINGENCY THEORY OF LEADERSHIP. THE THEORY HOLDS THAT PEOPLE BECOME LEADERS NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF THE ATTRIBUTES OF THEIR PERSONALITIES BUT ALSO BECAUSE OF VARIOUS SITUATIONAL FACTORS AND THE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN LEADERS AND GROUP MEMBERS. CRITICAL DIMENSIONS OF THE LEADERSHIP SITUATION 1. POSITION POWER 2. TASK STRUCTURE 3. LEADER-MEMBER RELATIONS LEADERSHIP STYLES FAVORABLENESS OF SITUATION AIMA-PGCM-GM11 64 A PATH-GOAL APPROACH TO LEADERSHIP PATH-GOAL MODEL A LEADERSHIP THEORY EMPHASIZING THE LEADER’S ROLE IN CLARIFYING FOR SUBORDINATES HOW THEY CAN ACHIEVE HIGH PERFORMANCE AND ITS ASSOCIATED REWARDS. AIMA-PGCM-GM11 65 PATH-GOAL APPROACH TO LEADERSHIP EFFECTIVENESS THE PATH-GOAL THEORY SUGGESTS THAT THE MAIN FUNCTION OF THE LEADER IS TO CLARIFY AND SET GOALS WITH SUBORDINATES, HELP THEM FIND THE BEST PATH FOR ACHIEVING THE GOALS,AND REMOVE OBSTACLES. FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO EFFECTIVE LEADERSHIP SHOULD INCLUDE: 1. CHARACTERISTICS OF SUBORDINATES, SUCH AS THEIR NEEDS, SELF-CONFIDENCE, AND ABILITIES; AND 2. THE WORK ENVIORNMENT, INCLUDING SUCH COMPONENTS AS THE TASK, THE REWARD SYSTEM, AND THE RELATIONSHIP WITH COWORKERS. AIMA-PGCM-GM11 66 CONTINGENCY APPROACHES TO LEADERSHIP CONTINGENCY APPROACH THE VIEW THAT THE MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUE THAT BEST CONTRIBUTES TO THE ATTAINMENT OF ORGANIZATIONAL GOALS MIGHT VARY IN DIFFERENT TYPES OF SITUATIONS OR CIRCUMSTANCES. SITUATIONAL LEADERSHIP MODEL AN APPROACH TO LEADERSHIP DEVELOPED BY HERSEY AND BLANCHARD THAT DESCRIBES HOW LEADERS SHOULD ADJUST THEIR LEADERSHIP STYLE IN RESPONSE TO THEIR SUBORDINATES’ EVOLVING DESIRE FOR ACHIEVEMENT, EXPERIENCE, ABILITY, AND WILLINGNESS TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY. AIMA-PGCM-GM11 67 LEADERSHIP STYLE AND THE WORK SITUATION: THE FIEDLER MODEL LEAST PREFERRED CO-WORKER (LPC) FIEDLER’S MEASURING INSTRUMENT FOR LOCATING A MANAGER ON THE LEADERSHIP-STYLE CONTINUUM. LEADER-MEMBER RELATIONS THE QUALITY OF THE INTERACTION BETWEEN A LEADER AND HIS OR HER EMPLOYEES; ACCORDING TO FIEDLER, THE MOST IMPORTANT INFLUENCE ON THE MANAGER’S POWER. AIMA-PGCM-GM11 68 TASK STRUCTURE A WORK SITUATION VARIABLE THAT, ACCORDING TO FIEDLER, HELPS DETERMINE A MANAGER’S POWER. IN STRUCTURED TASKS, MANAGERS AUTOMATICALLY HAVE HIGH POWER; IN UNSTRUCTURED TASKS, THEIR POWERIS DIMINISHED. POSITION POWER THE POWER, ACCORDING TO FIEDLER, THAT IS INHERENT IN THE FORMAL POSITION THE LEADER HOLDS. THIS POWER MAY BE GREAT OR SMALL, DEPENDING ON THESPECIFIC POSITION. AIMA-PGCM-GM11 69 THE FUTURE OF LEADERSHIP THEORY TRANSACTIONAL LEADERS LEADERS WHO DETERMINE WHAT SUBORDINATES NEED TO DO TO ACHIEVE OBJECTIVES, CLASSIFY THOSE REQUIREMENTS, AND HELP SUBORDINATES BECOME CONFIDENT THEY CAN REACH THEIR OBJECTIVES. TRANSFORMED LEADERS LEADERS WHO, THROUGH THEIR PERSONAL VISION AND ENERGY, INSPIRE FOLLOWERS AND HAVE A MAJOR IMPACT ON THEIR ORGANIZATINOS; ALSO CALLED CHARISMATIC LEADERS. AIMA-PGCM-GM11 70 A CHARISMATIC LEADER OCCASIONALLY A LEADER EMERGES WHOSE HIGH VISIBILITY AND PERSONAL CHARISMA CATCHES THE PUBLIC CONSCIOUSNESS. NOW-RETIRED AUTOINDUSTRY EXECUTIVE LEE LACOCCA, WHO LED CHRYSLER CORPORATION BACK FROM THE EDGE OF BANKRUPTCY, ENGENDERED CONSIDERABLE PUBLIC RECOGNITION AND SUPPORT. AIMA-PGCM-GM11 71 ATTITUDES ATTITUDES EVALUATIVE STATEMENTS OR JUDGMENTS CONCERNING OBJECTS, PEOPLE, OR EVENTS. COGNITIVE COMPONENT OF AN ATTITUDE THE OPINION OR BELIEF SEGMENT OF AN ATTITUDE. AFFECTIVE COMPONENT OF AN ATTITUDE THE EMOTIONAL OR FEELING SEGMENT OF AN ATTITUDE. BEHAVIORAL COMPONENT OF AN ATTITUDE AN INTENTION TO BEHAVE IN A CERTAIN WAY TOWARD SOMEONE OR SOMETHING. TYPES OF ATTITUDE A PERSON CAN HAVE THOUSANDS OF ATTITUDES, BUT OB FOCUSES OUR ATTENTION ON A VERY LIMITED NUMBER OF JOB-RELATED ATTITUDES. THESE JOBRELATED ATTITUDES TAP POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE EVALUATIONS THAT EMPLOYEES HOLD ABOUT ASPECTS OF THEIR WORK ENVIRONMENT. MOST OF THE RESEARCH IN OB HAS BEEN CONCERNED WITH THREE ATTITUDES: JOB SATISFACTION, JOB INVOLVEMENT, AND ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT. JOB SATISFACTION THE TERM JOB SATISFACTION REFERS TO AN INDIVIDUAL’S GENERAL ATTITUDE TOWARD HIS OR HER JOB. A PERSON WITH A HIGH LEVEL OF JOB SATISFACTION HOLDS POSITIVE ATTITUDES TOWARD THE JOB; A PERSON WHO IS DISSATISFIED WITH HIS OR HER JOB HOLDS NEGATIVE ATTITUDES ABOUT THE JOB. JOB INVOLVEMENT THE DEGREE TO WHICH A PERSON IDENTIFIES WITH HIS OR HER JOB, ACTIVELY PARTICIPATES IN IT, AND CONSIDERS HIS OR HER PERFORMANCE IMPORTANT TO SELF-WORTH. EMPLOYEES WITH A HIGH LEVEL OF JOB INVOLVEMENT STRONGLY IDENTIFY WITH AND REALLY CARE ABOUT THE KIND OF WORK THEY DO. HIGH LEVELS OF JOB INVOLVEMENT HAVE BEEN FOUND TO BE RELATED TO FEWER ABSENCES AND LOWER RESIGNATION RATES. ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT THE DEGREE TO WHICH AN EMPLOYEE IDENTIFIES WITH A PARTICULAR ORGANIZATION AND ITS GOALS, AND WISHES TO MAINTAIN MEMBERSHIP IN THE ORGANIZATION. SO HIGH JOB INVOLVEMENT MEANS IDENTIFYING WITH ONE’S SPECIFIC JOB; HIGH ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT MEANS IDENTIFYING WITH ONE’S EMPLOYING ORGANIZATION. MODELS OF ATTITUDE • COGNITIVE MODEL • OBJECT MODEL • BEHAVIOUR MODEL • PERFORMANCE MODEL ATTITUDE FORMATION • CLASSICAL ATTITUDE FORMATION • INSTRUMENT OR OPERANT ATTITUDE FORMATION • COGNITIVE ATTITUDE FORMATION ATTITUDE CHANGE • CHANGING MOTIVES OF EMPLOYEES • ADMIRING EMPLOYEES • COMPARING CONFLICTING ATTITUDES • CHANGING THE BELIEFS “HAPPY EMPLOYEE IS A PRODUCTIVE EMPLOYEE” Job satisfaction can be defined as the extent of positive feelings or attitudes that individuals have towards their jobs. When a person says that he has high job satisfaction, it means that he really likes his job, feels good about it and values his job highly. WHAT DETERMINES JOB SATISFACTION? • Mentally challenging work. • Equitable rewards. • Supportive working conditions. • Supportive colleagues • Don’t forget the personality – Job fit. SOURCES OF JOB SATISFACTION 1. Organizational factors. 2. Work environmental factors. 3. Factors related to work itself. 4. Personal factors. 1. 2. ORGANIZATIONAL FACTORS • Salaries and wages • Promotions • Company policies WORK ENVIRONMENT • Supervisory style • Work group • Working conditions 3. WORK ITSELF The job content has two aspects. One is the “job scope” that involves the amount of responsibility. The second aspect is variety. It has been found that a moderate amount of variety is most effective. 4. PERSONAL FACTORS THE EFFECT OF JOB SATISFACTION ON EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE • Satisfaction and Productivity • Satisfaction and Absenteeism • Satisfaction and Turnover HOW EMPLOYEES CAN EXPRESS DISSATISFACTION Responses to Job Dissatisfaction Active EXIT VOICE Destructive Constructive NEGLECT LOYALTY Passive Exit Dissatisfaction expressed through behavior directed toward leaving the organization. Voice Dissatisfaction expressed through active and constructive attempts to improve conditions. Loyalty Dissatisfaction expressed by passively waiting for conditions to improve. Neglect Dissatisfaction expressed through allowing conditions to worsen. CONSEQUENCES OF JOB DISSATISFACTION • Employee unrest • Absenteeism • Tardiness • Employee turnover • Union activity • Early retirement • A job satisfaction PERCEPTION Chronological Development of Law Notion Perception Conception Assumption Theory Law PERCEPTION • A PROCESS BY WHICH INDIVIDUALS ORGANIZE AND INTERPRET THEIR SENSORY IMPRESSION IN ORDER TO GIVE MEANING TO THEIR ENVIRONMENT Perception • Perception – The process of selecting, organizing, and interpreting environmental information. – Based on internal factors (e.g., personality) and external factors (e.g., accuracy of information). – Self-esteem describes how individuals perceive themselves. Factors that Influence Perception Factors in the perceiver • Attitudes • Motives • Interests • Experience • Expectations Factors in the situation • Time • Work setting • Social setting Perception Factors in the target • Novelty • Motion • Sounds • Size • Background • Proximity THE PERCEIVER • WHEN AN INDIVIDUAL LOOKS AT A TARGET AND ATTEMPTS TO INTERPRET WHAT HE OR SHE SEES, THAT INTERPRETATION IS HEAVILY INFLUENCED BY PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE INDIVIDUAL PERCEIVER. • A MAJOR REASON IS THAT THEY HOLD DIVERGENT ATTITUDES CONCERNING LARGE CLASSES. • UNSATISFIED NEEDS OR MOTIVES STIMULATE INDIVIDUALS AND MAY EXERT A STRONG INFLUENCE ON THEIR PERCEPTIONS. • THE FOCUS OF OUR ATTENTION APPEARS TO BE INFLUENCED BY OUR INTERESTS. • EXPECTATIONS CAN DISTORT YOUR PERCEPTIONS IN THAT YOU WILL SEE WHAT YOU EXPECT TO SEE. THE TARGET •CHARACTERISTICS IN THE TARGET THAT IS BEING OBSERVED CAN AFFECT WHAT IS PERCEIVED. • BECAUSE TARGETS ARE NOT LOOKED AT IN ISOLATION. • THE RELATIONSHIP OF A TARGET TO ITS BACKGROUND INFLUENCES PERCEPTION, AS DOES OUR TENDENCY TO GROUP CLOSE THINGS AND SIMILAR THINGS TOGETHER THE SITUATION • THE CONTEXT IN WHICH WE SEE OBJECTS OR EVENTS IS IMPORTANT. ELEMENTS IN THE SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT INFLUENCE OUR PERCEPTIONS. • THE TIME AT WHICH AN OBJECT OR EVENT IS SEEN CAN INFLUENCE ATTENTION, AS CAN LOCATION, LIGHT, HEAT, OR ANY NUMBER OF SITUATIONAL FACTORS. Person Perception: Making Judgments About Others Attribution theory This theory has been proposed to develop explanations of the ways in which we judge people differently, depending on what meaning we attribute to a given behavior. Basically, the theory suggests that when we observe an individual’s behavior, we attempt to determine whether it was internally or externally caused. Person Perception: Making Judgments About Others, Determinants: 1. Distinctiveness: shows different behaviors in different situations. 2. Consensus: response is the same as others to same situation. 3. Consistency: responds in the same way over time. Attribution Theory Errors and Biases in Attributions Errors and Biases in Attributions BARRIERS TO PERCEPTUAL ACCURACY Selective Perception • People selectively interpret what they see based on their interests, background, attitudes. experience, and Halo Effect • Drawing a general impression about an individual based on a single characteristic. Selective Perception • People selectively interpret what they see based on their interests, background, experience, and attitudes. Contrast Effects • Evaluation of a person’s characteristics that are affected by comparisons with other people recently encountered who rank higher or lower on the same characteristics. Projection • Attributing one’s own characteristics to other people. Stereotyping • Judging someone on the basis of one’s perception of the group to which that person belongs. Self-fulfilling Prophecy • When one person inaccurately perceives a second person and the resulting expectations cause the second person to behave in ways consistent with the original perception. Overcoming Biases • Don’t overlook external causes of others’ behavior • Identify and confront your stereotypes • Evaluate people based on objective factors • Avoid making rash judgments SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS IN ORGANIZATIONS • EMPLOYMENT INTERVIEW • PERFORMANCE EXPECTATIONS • PERFORMANCE EVALUATION • EMPLOYEE EFFORT • EMPLOYEE LOYALTY Specific Applications of Shortcuts in Organization • Employment Interview – Perceptual biases affect the accuracy of interviewers’ judgments of applicants. • Performance Expectations – Self-fulfilling prophecy (pygmalion effect): The lower or higher performance of employees reflects preconceived leader expectations about employee capabilities. • Performance Evaluations – Appraisals are subjective perceptions of performance. • Employee Effort – Assessment of individual effort is a subjective judgment subject to perceptual distortion and bias. • Employee Loyalty – Employee support towards the organization. • Whistle-Blowers – Individuals who report unethical practices by their employer to outsiders. Motivation • The willingness to exert high levels of effort toward organizational goals, conditioned by the effort’s ability to satisfy some individual need. Need • Some internal state that makes certain outcomes appear attractive Work Motivation: The psychological forces that determine the direction of a person’s behavior in an organization, a person’s level of effort, and a person’s level of persistence. Work Motivation • Direction of Behavior - Which behaviors does a person choose to perform in an organization? • Level of Effort - How hard does a person work to perform a chosen behavior? (Arousal) Work Motivation • Level of Persistence - When faced with obstacles, roadblocks, and stone walls, how hard does a person keep trying to perform a chosen behavior successfully? (Maintaining) Early Theories of Motivation Need-Based Theories of Motivation The basic theories is motivated deficiencies important categories. premise of need that humans are primarily by in one or more needs or need The Hierarchy of Needs • Developed by psychologist Abraham Maslow in the 1940s. • Maslow believed that people have an innate desire to satisfy a given set of needs. • Maslow believed that these needs are arranged in a hierarchy of importance, with the most basic needs at the foundation of the hierarchy. The Hierarchy of Needs • Maslow believed that each need level must be satisfied before the level above it becomes important. • The escalation up the hierarchy continues until the self-actualization needs become the primary motivators. The Hierarchy of Needs Selfactualization Esteem Affiliation Security Physiological • Lower Order Needs: Needs that are satisfied externally; physiological and safety needs. Higher Order Needs: Needs that are satisfied internally; social, esteem, and self-actualization needs. The Hierarchy of Needs • Physiological Needs: Adequate wages, ventilation, and comfortable temperatures and working conditions are measures taken to satisfy this most basic level of need. • Security Needs: Security needs can be satisfied by such things as job continuity, a grievance system, and an adequate insurance and retirement system. The Hierarchy of Needs • Affiliation Needs – Managers can help satisfy these needs by fostering a sense of group identity and interaction among employees. • Esteem Needs – These needs are met at least partially by job titles, choice offices, merit pay increases, awards, and other forms of recognition. The Hierarchy of Needs • Self-Actualization Needs – The drive to become what one is capable of becoming. – Achieved when people meet their full potential. – These needs are the hardest to understand and the most difficult to satisfy. ERG Theory –Represents an extension and refinement of the need hierarchy theory by Clayton Alderfer. –The ERG theory describes existence, relatedness, and growth needs. Existence Concerned with providing our basic material existence requirements. It includes the items that Maslow considered physiological and safety needs. Relatedness The desire we have for maintaining important interpersonal relationships. The social and status desires require interaction with others if they are re-satisfied and they align with Maslow’s social need and external component of Maslow’s esteem classification. Growth An intrinsic desire for personal development. These include the intrinsic component from Maslow’s esteemed category and the characteristics included self-actualization. ERG theory –The ERG theory suggests that if people become frustrated trying to satisfy one set of needs, they will regress back to the previously satisfied set of needs. How does ERG Theory differ from Maslow’s In contrast to hierarchy of need theory, the ERG Theory demonstrates: 1. More than one need may be operative at the same time. 2. If the gratification of higher level need is stifled, the desire to satisfy lower-level need increases. The Dual-Structure Theory (Motivation –Hygiene Theory) • Developed by Frederick Herzberg • Herzberg conceptualized motivation as a dual structure phenomenon consisting of motivation factors and hygiene factors. –Motivation factors are intrinsic to the work itself and include factors such as achievement and recognition. These factors cause motivation and satisfaction. The Dual-Structure Theory • Motivation and hygiene factors (continued) – Hygiene factors are extrinsic to the work itself and include factors such as pay and job security. – These factors do not necessarily lead to satisfaction. If inadequate, however, these factors can lead to dissatisfaction. The Dual-Structure Theory Motivation Factors Hygiene Factors - Achievement - Supervision - Recognition - Working Conditions - The work itself - Pay and Job Security - Responsibility - Company Policies - Advancement - Relationships McClelland’s Theory of Needs Achievement power, and affiliation are three important needs that help to understand motivation. Learned Needs Theory (nAch) • Most frequently associated with the work of David McClelland. – Need for Achievement (nAch) – Need for Affiliation (nAff) – Need for Power (nPow) The Need for Achievement • The need for achievement is the desire to accomplish a task or goal more effectively than in the past. The Need for Affiliation • The need for human companionship. • Individuals with a high need for affiliation tend to want reassurance and approval from others and usually are genuinely concerned about others’ feelings. • People with a high need for affiliation often work in jobs with a lot of interpersonal contact. The Need for Power • The desire to control the resources in one’s environment. • People with a high need for power can be successful managers if three conditions are met: – They must seek power for the betterment of the organization rather than for their own interests. The Need for Power • Three Conditions (continued) – They must have a fairly low need for affiliation (fulfilling a personal need for power may well alienate others in the workplace). – They need plenty of self-control to curb their desire for power when it threatens to interfere with effective organizational or interpersonal relationships. Equity Theory A process theory about work motivation that focuses on workers’ perceptions of the fairness of their work outcomes and inputs. Equity Theory According to equity theory, what is important to motivation is the way a worker perceives his or her outcome / input ratio compared to that of another person. Outcome / input ratio Outcome / input ratio is the relationship between what a worker gets from a job and what the worker contributes to the job. Two Basic Types of Inequity Overpayment inequity exists when a person perceives that their outcome / input ratio is greater than the ratio of the referent. Underpayment inequity exists when a person perceives that their outcome / input ratio is less than the ratio of the referent. Four referent comparisons an employee can use: • Self-inside • Self-outside • Other-inside • Other-outside Employee perceive an inequity they can be predicted • • • • • • Change their inputs Change their outcomes Distort perceptions of self Distort perceptions of others Choose a different referent Leave the field Ways to Restore Equity • Workers change their inputs or outcomes. • Workers change the referents’ inputs or outcomes. • Workers change their perceptions of inputs and outcomes. • Workers change the referent. • Workers leave the job or organization or force the referent to leave. Expectancy Theory • A process theory about work motivation that focuses on how workers make choices among alternative behaviors and levels of effort. • 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 outcome to the individual. Theory focuses on three relationships 1. Effort-performance relationship 2. Performance-reward relationship 3. Rewards-personal goals relationship Expectancy Theory Individual effort Individual Organizational performance rewards 1. Effort-performance relationship 2. Performance-reward relationship 3. Rewards-personal goals relationship Personal goals Expectancy Theory - Key Terms • Valence: the desirability of an outcome to an individual. • Instrumentality: a perception about the extent to which performance of one or more behaviors will lead to the attainment of a particular outcome. • Expectancy: a perception about the extent to which effort will result in a certain level of performance. Goal-Setting Theory • Goal-Setting Theory suggests that an individual’s conscious goals and intentions are the primary determinants of behavior. • Developed by Locke and Latham. Components of Goal-Setting Theory • Goal Difficulty – The extent to which a goal is challenging and requires effort. – Difficult, yet realistic, goals are typically the most effective. • Goal Specificity – The clarity and precision of a goal. – Specific, rather than vague, goals are typically the most effective. Components of Goal-Setting Theory • Goal Acceptance – The extent to which a person accepts a goal as his or her own. • Goal Commitment – The extent to which a person is personally interested in reaching a goal. Reinforcement Theory • In Reinforcement Theory we have a behavioristic approach which argues that reinforcement conditions behavior. • Behavior is being environmentally caused. • Theory ignores the inner state of individual and constraint solely on what happens to a person when he or she takes some action. Theory X Theory Y • Douglas McGregor proposed two distinct views of human beings: one basically negative, labeled Theory X, and the other basically positive, labeled Theory Y. • After viewing the way in which managers dealt with employees, McGregor concluded that a manager’s view of the nature of human beings is based on a certain grouping of assumptions and that he or she tends to mold his or her behavior toward subordinates according to these assumptions. Theory X, the four assumptions held by managers: 1. Employees inherently dislike work and, whenever possible, will attempt to avoid it. 2. Since employees dislike work, they must be coerced, controlled, or threatened with punishment to achieve goals. 3. Employees will avoid responsibilities and seek formal direction whenever possible. 4. Most workers place security above all other factors associated with work and will display little ambition. McGregor listed four positive assumptions, which he called Theory Y: 1. Employees can view work as being as natural as rest or play. 2. People will exercise self-direction and self-control if they are committed to the objectives. 3. The average person can learn to accept, even seek, responsibility. 4. The ability to make innovative decisions is widely dispersed throughout the population and is not necessarily the sole province of those in management positions.
