  1. Today we are going to look at 5 studies on motivation that created “theories” concerning the psychology of motivation. From each study we will determine how it applies to our workplace and how we can apply it to our employees. Through filling out worksheets and considering these theories, we should all be able to walk away thinking differently about motivation and how we can affect our teams.

  4. theory x ('authoritarian management' style) The average person dislikes work and will avoid it he/she can. Therefore most people must be forced with the threat of punishment to work towards organisational objectives. The average person prefers to be directed; to avoid responsibility; is relatively unambitious, and wants security above all else. theory y ('participative management' style) Effort in work is as natural as work and play. People will apply self-control and self-direction in the pursuit of organizational objectives, without external control or the threat of punishment. Commitment to objectives is a function of rewards associated with their achievement. People usually accept and often seek responsibility. The capacity to use a high degree of imagination, ingenuity and creativity in solving organizational problems is widely, not narrowly, distributed in the population. In industry the intellectual potential of the average person is only partly utilized. At this time, take quiz to see what style you are and what style you prefer.
