activity enjoyable• Solving a word puzzle because you find the
challenge fun and interesting• Playing a game because you find it exciting

Motivational Theories
• Our Behavior is Motivated by Instincts.
• Expectancy Theory: that an individual will decide to
behave or act in a certain way because they are
motivated to select a specific behavior over other
behaviors due to what they expect the result of that
selected behavior.
Motivational Theories

biological need such as Water, a drivve to

Maslow’s Need Theory
Goal Setting Theory
• Intentions to work toward goal are a major source of
work motivation.
• Goals tell an employee ,what needs to be done and,
• How much effort will need to be expended.
McClelland's Theory of Need
• A person's behavior and performance at work is strongly
influenced by the most meaningful of the three needs.
• Achievement
• Power
• Affiliation
• Achievement: Achievers seek neither power nor approval; rather,
their only focus is on success. Achievers prefer work that has a
moderate chance for success (about 50/50) and tend to avoid
situations that are low-risk and those that are high-risk.
• Power: Power-seekers who are after personal power have a
strong desire to control others or cause them to behave in a way
that is consistent with the power-seeker's wishes.
• Affiliation: Affiliation seekers are more interested in approval
rather than recognition or power. They also tend to
avoid conflict with others at all cost. Affiliation seekers
are more likely to work in groups happily and fulfill all
norms of the group.
