Intrinsic Rewards
Intrinsic means from within; when you have a drive to
succeed and are motivated by purpose, passion, and mis-
sion.

PPT 10-7
Extrinsic Rewards
Extrinsic rewards are often temporary and driven by
money, recognition, and results.
PPT 10-8
Fringe Benefits
1. This slide displays the most common perks or re-
wards used by companies to motivate employees.
2. Other examples of extrinsic rewards include the fol-
lowing:
• Pay
• Improved working environment or condi-
tions
• Status
• Security
3. While these rewards do offer some value, there is
much research that indicates many problems with
extrinsic motivation. Share with the students some of
those ideas:
• Extrinsic rewards do not produce permanent
changes.
• Extrinsic rewards reduce intrinsic interest.
• The use of extrinsic rewards can be control-
ling.
• Reinforcement of extrinsic rewards can lead
to expectations of permanence in the form of
job rewards.

Are You Stressed?
1. Employers can often spot impending stress or on-the-
job stress by understanding the signs listed.
2. Ask the students: Have you experienced any of these
symptoms when trying to juggle your academic, pro-
fessional, and personal lives? What did you do to
cope with the rigors of stress?
3. Share the following tips for reducing stress:
• Learn to plan.
• Recognize and accept limits.
• Be a positive person.
• Learn to tolerate and forgive.
• Avoid unnecessary competition.
• Get regular exercise.
• Learn a systematic, drug-free method of re-
laxing.
• Change your thinking.

Maslow’s Theory of Motivation
PPT 10-16
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
1. This slide reproduces the illustration of Maslow’s hier-
archy from the chapter.
2. Most people in the class, especially those who have
taken basic psychology, may be familiar with Maslow
and the premise of human needs hierarchy.
3. Use this opportunity to relate Maslow’s needs theory to
the work environment:
• Workers require competitive salaries, benefits,
and clean work environments.
• Employees have the need for security against
termination in their jobs and the feeling of be-
ing safe against bodily harm while performing
their job functions.
• On the job, workers have the need to feel a
part of a successful group, driven by achieve-
ment.
• Employees seek opportunities for advance-
ment, empowerment, recognition, and respon-
sibility through additional work-related per-
formance. Companies must attempt to satisfy
these needs through opportunities within the
organization.

Herzberg’s Motivating Factors

Herzberg’s Motivators and Hygiene Fac-
tors
1. This slide illustrates another “need” theory regarding
workers and their job needs.
2. This theory is based on what an organization can do
to fulfill the individual needs of workers while moti-
vating them to excel.
3. The key component of Herzberg’s work was that the
opposite of “satisfaction” is “no satisfaction.” If the
basic hygiene factors are not in place, a worker is not
satisfied. To have a satisfied, motivated workforce,
a company needs to provide the following:
• Achievement
• Recognition
• Work itself
• Responsibility
• Advancement
• Growth
PPT 10-21
Comparison of the Theories of Maslow
and Herzberg
1. This slide gives students a good starting point to see
the relationship between Maslow and Herzberg.
2. To start a discussion, ask students: Are you motivat-
ed by money? (This question always starts a discus-
sion with most students stating that money is a real
motivating factor.)
3. Follow up this discussion with the following: If you
dislike your current job and your boss offers you
more money will it change your feelings about your
job in the long run?

Reignite Employees’ Drive
1. Motivators don’t have to be big or grand gestures
like awards.
2. Employees can motivate themselves.
3. Ask students: Why do you think redecorating your
desk, cube or office is helpful and reinvigorating?
PPT 10-23
Progress Assessment
1. Frederick Taylor’s time-motion studies measured
output. Taylor inspired the Hawthorne studies.
Originally Elton Mayo wanted to determine the op-
timal level of lighting necessary to increase produc-
tion on the factory floor which is a type of scientific
management. He later determined that people who
were empowered worked harder. Ultimately Mayo’s
study brought about behavioral management.
2. The findings at Hawthorne plant in Cicero, Illinois,
completely changed how people thought about em-
ployees and motivation. One finding was that mon-
ey was not a primary motivator. These new assump-
tions led to to many theories about the human side of
motivation.
3. Students should be able to draw and label Maslow’s
hierarchy.
4. As Herzberg studied the results of his research study,
he concluded that motivators made employees pro-
ductive and gave them satisfaction. These factors re-
lated to job content. Hygiene factors related to the
job environment and could, if left unattended, cause
employee dissatisfaction but would not provide long-
term motivation. Hygiene factors include such
things as pay and working conditions.

Theory X and Theory Y
1. Theory X suggests that employees dislike work,
avoid responsibility, have little ambition, and are
motivated by threat and fear. Theory Y argues that
people like work, seek responsibility, and are moti-
vated by empowerment. If a manager believes theory
X or Theory Y, he or she would tend to treat the em-
ployees accordingly.
2. Ask the students: Would you be a Theory X or Y
manager? How do you believe employees should be
treated? Would you prefer to work for a Theory X or
Y manager? (The majority if not all would say they
would rather work for a Theory Y manager. It
should be pointed out that how a manager treats
employees is often dictated by the situation. A man-
ager may hold Theory Y values but may have to use
Theory X perspective depending on the situation
with the employee.)

Demographic changes, the worst recession in their coun-

Japanese managers to reevaluate the way they conduct
business. The effects of the 2011 earthquake on Japanese

Applying Goal-Setting Theory
Peter Drucker developed the idea of MBO in his 1954
book The Practice of Management.
PPT 10-32
What is MBO?
1. Management by objectives (MBO) was popularized
by Peter Drucker in the 1950s.
2. Ask the students: What are the benefits of MBO?
(This theory is based on the notion that setting at-
tainable goals with all employees of the organization
will create more support for the goals leading to
greater motivation.)
