ORGANISATION BEHAVIOUR 4

Assess the relationship between motivation theory and the practice of management (3c)

    The relationship between the motivation theory and the practice of management are many. For instance needs based theory provide framework for considering general approaches to making the organisation as a whole supportive of people aspiration at work. There are two elements to this, the reward system,  i.e the pay and condition of services which are available to employees and second the job itself how meaningful and interesting the job is.

     Again if we should look into Herzberg two-factor theory where he differentiate between the satisfy factors and dissatisfy factor. His main aim is about the high performance work system and the staff empowerment. Herzberg theory has helped the practice of management to know what they can do to make their workers works to their potentials.

    In the case of expectant theory which is also known as vroom which believes motivation is essentially extrinsic which means making decision on how we can work hard depending on the analysis of cost and the reward we will receive. From this we can see that there are direct link to the practice of management because the theory has shown to us if we do the right things we will achieve our goals.

    From what i have said above we can see that there are strong relationship between motivation theory and the practice of management.
