The Importance Of Motivation And Its Outcomes

Salaries play an important role especially in the first two stages of the hierarchy; we all need money to survive. Another theory is the Alderfer's ERG Theory; Alderfer has modified Maslow's hierarchy and has shortened the five needs into three, existence, needs, relatedness needs and growth needs, existence needs: refer to basic survival needs that everyone needs to satisfy. Relatedness needs: relate to interpersonal contact, social and emotional acceptance, status and caring. Growth needs: are development and sense of self worth. Herzberg’s Theory of Motivation Herzberg's theory of motivation is quite different than the other motivational theories. Herzberg stated that there were only to kinds of factors in any job, hygiene and motivation, the motivation hygiene model is based on the idea that one set determines dissatisfaction (hygiene) and the other set determines positive satisfaction (motivational theory). The hygiene set contains the company policy, administration, working conditions and job security. According to Herzberg’s findings he suggests that if these conditions were unsatisfactory they would most certainly be heading towards physiological or psychological withdrawal from the job. These conditions must be met for an individual to be motivated in work, however, other conditions and factors must be met, this proves that in order for an employee to perform his or her work in an

As you may have heard, Mr. Swift has made a very modest proposal about what to do with the situation of starvation among adults. Mr. Swift has proposed that after a year of a child's birth, they be eaten if the family wishes. I, being a mother of a baby, currently, could not approve of this proposal more. Me and my husband together, concur, this will allow us to not go hungry, but also fulfill our wish to have another baby. We've always wanted more kids, but we only desire a baby. We don't want them after they have grown older. We already have an older son. Now, with this proposal, we won't go hungry and we can stay full for months on end and all I must do is push out a baby. No big deal.

The standard way of thinking about motivation has it that the only way to get people to be driven is to reward them extrinsically. In other words, the way we generally try to motivate people is by dangling a carrot in front of their face, or pushing them with a poke to the ribs with stick. Many people assume that if you want someone to do something, you incentivize them with external compensation. For example, if you want a student to work harder in class, offer them extra credits. If you want your basketball team to be better, make them run more suicides as punishment. However, in this book, Drive: ’’The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us’’ by Daniel Pink challenges this conventional, preconceived notion of motivation of carrot and stick mentality. Pink divided motivation into three categories that evolved over time: motivation 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0.

True motivation comes from deep within our psyche. Using rewards in the classroom is something I always thought was teaching, or in some cases reinforcing, bad habits for our students. I firmly believe the motivation must be intrinsic to be sustainable. Extrinsic motivation is great in the short term, but my concern for students is what happens when that external motivator is inevitably removed. After observing two teachers, both of whom use some type of reward system in their respective classrooms, I have come to realize my view was quite narrow and that in small doses, extrinsic motivation has it merits. Using rewards does not instantly erase all forms of internal motivation if used properly, and can even bolster a student’s internal motivation over time as the rewards are gradually reduced.

Frederick Herzberg first published his motivational theory in his book, The Motivation to Work which was authored in 1959. His theory focus’s around the idea that “satisfaction and dissatisfaction at work nearly always arose from different factors” (Businessballs, 2016). He cites several motivating factors for both satisfaction and unhappiness with a particular job. These factors include achievement, recognition, growth, the actual work itself, pay, benefits and relationships. In short, Hertzberg observed that factors which lead to satisfaction usually are centered on those that directly result from doing the job or task, while factors that led to dissatisfaction were more closely tied to what he deemed “Hygiene Factors”. As an example, a sense of achievement, recognition within the organization, personal growth and the quality of the actual work itself are what he refers to as motivators. Consequently, interpersonal relationships with superiors or peers, company policies, working conditions and a balance with personal life

Frederick Herzberg developed his theory after Maslow’s theory of a need hierarchy. It seems parallel to Maslow’s in that Herzberg’s states that individuals strive to attain higher psychological needs. Individuals seek recognition, responsibility, and the nature of the work itself rather than take a safer more comfortable job that does nothing for their psyche. There is a difference

Employee motivation is one of the most complex issues in every organization. Therefore, understanding what motivates people in all walks of life is fundamental to all who wish to become a member of the management team. Herzberg, distinguished Professor of Management was one of the best known of all the theorists on motivation. His ideas on motivation in the Hygiene – Motivation theory were particularly useful to help the average manager understands what motivates people. According to Herzberg’s findings, for adequate work place motivation , it is important that leadership understands the active needs of an individual employee. Herzberg was influenced by the writings of Abraham Maslow, who developed the Need- Hierarchy Theory. Maslow’s model indicated that fundamental and lower order needs like physiological and safety needs have to be satisfied in order to pursue higher-level motivators along the lines of self fulfillment (Maslow, 1943). According to Maslow’s Need Triangle, once a need is satisfied, it stops acting as a motivator and the next need one rank higher starts to motivate. The leadership, here, has to understand which need of a particular group would work as motivator during a particular period of time. An effort has been made here to establish relationship between Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs and Hygiene-Motivation theory developed by Herzberg through Maslow’s Triangle.

Direction and intensity of an individual’s effort to a situation is how motivation can be simply defined (Sage, 1977). It is suggested that motivation could be the length you are willing to go to, to succeed (Abielias, 2014)

Learning is so important to every people in the world. Learning is very important because when, we learn we get new knowledge in order we can know about everything that we do not know. There are adage that said learn until the grave, that is means if we can learn whenever from born to die. The formal educations where place we can learn are preschool, kindergarten, elementary school, junior high school, senior high school, and university.

Motivation is hard to find, but everyone has that one person in their life that they look up to. Throughout my years of growing up I saw someone struggling hard to make it in life and saw how she worked day and night to make a living. This person has helped me with both school work and how to keep pushing to reach my goal. She has been there since day one every time I get frustrated she always by my side tells me it’s going to be worth it trusts me to just keep going that person who I look up to everyday is Melissa Corona my mother’s little sister I call her Nana.

The subject of motivation has been an important component in both theoretical and applied literature. There are many reasons why the motivational theories have generated so much discussion. In an organization motivation has been considered an important factor because employee motivation is considered essential for an organization 's status within the business environment and the community. The two motivation theories selected for this paper is Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and Herzberg hygiene factors.

The current state of education puts little emphasis on intrinsic motivation yet asks “how can I motivate my students?” “Children are intrinsically motivated to learn, to undertake challenges, and to solve problems” (Deci & Ryan, p. 11) and this is the theme of the research. Intrinsic motivation is already built into the child since birth and it is the education system that is tearing it down. Teachers believe that extrinsic motivation or using rewards will improve the outcome of the task and will motivate the students to continue. Which in truth, the learning environments need to be less controlled and learners should have a choice about their learning, content should be relevant to them and interesting, and they must feel accepted in the classroom.

Merriam-Webster(2013) dictionary describes Intrinsic Motivation as, “Motivation to engage in a behavior arises from within the individual because it is intrinsically rewarding”(Merriam-Webster, 2013). Content vs. Process theory describes intrinsic motivation. Merriam-Webster(2013) states that Extrinsic Motivation is motivation that comes from an external source(Webster, 2013). Natural vs. Rational Theory describes extrinsic motivation because a person is looking for an outside reward such as a trophy, or an increased salary.

Education is the key to eliminate gender discrimination, to decrease poverty, to foster social peace in our communities and to create a sustainable development. But, how can we encourage our children to study effectively? In other words, how can we prepare them for success? Motivation is the secret behind student success. Motivation helps to explain why some children get impressive education results despite poverty, while others get ordinary results despite highly sophisticated teaching methods. Which factors affecting students' motivation? And how it works in the lives of girls and boys? Despite the fact that girls outperform their male peers, and hyper-control of girls acts as a kind of motivator which makes them study harder than boys, boys are not defective. Motivation is the main factor which is shaped by parents and teachers. In many Middle Eastern public schools; elements have cooperated together to create an educational system which is not appropriate for anyone but particularly not for boys. Boys feel like their teachers do not care about them, and they had experienced a worse relationship with their teachers. Also, they reported physical punishment which had been occurred at school. Moreover, boys have their own society which aims to enforce their masculinity away from classrooms and academic goals that is why they lose their motivation to study hard. This is the topic that "Amanda Ripley" (2017) focuses on in her article "Boys are not defective". In her article "Ripley" (2017) discusses that male teachers practices have a negative effect on boys motivation. They do not care about boys' well performance, tend to punish them physically and shout at them. In addition, the notions of masculinity among boys make them feel like schools will not help them to reach manhood. My firm conviction is those worse relationships between boys and teachers, insulting and corporal punishment and the internal desire of students to achieve their manhood outside classrooms; this would affect badly on their motivation, and would decrease their academic performance.
