1. Herzberg's and Locke's motivational theories

2. The 'hygiene' word is deliberately
medical as it is an analogy of the
need to do something that is
necessary, but which does
contribute towards making the
patient well (it only stops them
getting sick).
Frederick Herzberg drew on Maslow’s theory of human needs and expanded it.
He replaced a single hierarchy of needs with two sets of factors. In Herzberg’s
theory, only the second set was really useful in motivating employees.
Herzberg’s two factor (motivation-hygiene) theory
We have basic needs (hygiene needs) which, when
not met, cause us to be dissatisfied. Meeting these
needs does not make us satisfied - it merely
prevents us from becoming dissatisfied.

it.

9. Locke’s goal-setting theory
Edwin Locke’s motivation theory is not a needs theory; it is known as goal
theory.
According to Locke, satisfaction comes from achieving defined goals. He argued
the more challenging the goals, the greater will be the effort put in and also the
satisfaction enjoyed by the worker. Difficult goals, when accepted by workers,
result in higher performance than easy goals.
Goals must be
challenging
Goals must be specific
