CHAPTER 11: MOTIVATING AND REWARDING EMPLOYEES
Motivation refers to the process by which a person’s efforts are energized, directed, and
sustained toward attaining a goal
3 elements: energy, direction, persistence
MASLOW’S HIERARCHY OF NEEDS THEORY
Five basic categories of needs: physiological, safety, love, esteem, and self-actualization.
Lower-order needs satisfied - externally, higher-order needs – internally MCGREGOR’S THEORY X AND Y
Base on 2 assumptions about human nature
Theory X: negative – little ambition, dislike work, want to avoid responsibility, need to
be closely controlled to work effectively
Theory Y: positive – enjoy work, seek out, accept responsibility, exercise self-direction
To maximize motivation of employee use Theory Y HERZBERG’S 2 FACTORS THEORY
Intrinsic factors job satisfaction
concentrate on achievement & recognition
Extrinsic factors job dissatisfaction
Ppl felt good – intrinsic factors – job content
Ppl were dissatisfied – extrinsic factors – job context
Hygience factors that eliminate job dissatifaction but don’t motivate: salary, status,…
Motivators factors that increase job satisfaction and motivation: achievement, recognition,… MCCLELLAND’S 3 NEEDS THEORY

2. It provides info + fb so managers feel comfortable enpowering employees
3. It helps protect an org + ít assets. Control process has 3 steps:
+ measuring actual performance
+ comparing actual performance against a standard
+ taking managerial action to correct deviations
Immediate corrective action that addresses problem at once to get performance back on track
Feedforward control that take place before a work activity be done
Concurrent control that take place whil a work activity is in process
Feedforward concurrent feedback
Feedback control takes place after the activity is done
2 advantages of feedback control:
+ give managers meaningful infor on how effective their planning efforts were
+ feedback can enhance motivation
“correct performance problems". Both formulating strategies and setting standards fall
primarily under the planning function, while structuring an organization is part of the organizing function
MBWA allows the manager to get a feel for the work area and the moods and attitudes of
the people who work there. (walking around) => personal contact
MBWA (management by walking around)
Controlling comes after planning, organizing, and leading in the management process, so it is the final step
The controlling function helps managers protect an organization's assets
