Motivation is the result of the interaction of the
individual and the situation. Our Definition of Motivation is that it is “the processes that account for an individual’s intensity, direction, and persistence of effort toward attaining a goal.” We will narrow the focus to organizational goals in order to reflect our singular interest in work-related behavior. The three key elements of our definition of motivation are intensity, direction, and persistence. Intensity is concerned with how hard a person tries to do anything. This is the element
most of us focus on when we talk about motivation. Direction is the orientation that benefits the organization. It can be positive or negative. Persistence is a measure of how long a person can maintain his or her effort. Motivated individuals stay with a task long enough to achieve their goal. Maslow’s need theory has received wide recognition, particularly among practicing managers. Research does not generally validate the theory.Maslow provided no empirical substantiation, and several studies
that sought to validate the theory found no support for it. Some researchers have attempted to revive components of the need hierarchy concept, using principles from evolutionary psychology.Time will tell whether these revisions to Mas low's hierarchy will be useful to practicing managers. Theory X assumptions are basically negative. Employees inherently dislike work and, whenever possible, will attempt to avoid it.Since employees dislike work, they must be coerced, controlled, or threatened with punishment. Employees will avoid responsibilities and seek formal direction whenever possible.Most workers place security above all other factors and will display little ambition. Theory Y assumptions are basically positive.
Employees can view work as being as natural as rest or play. People will exercise self-direction and self-control if they are committed to the objectives.
Douglas McGregor’s Theory X and Theory Yconcluded that a manager’s view of the nature of human beings is based on a certain grouping of assumptions and he or she tends to mold his or her behavior toward
employees according to these assumptions.
