- Vroom’s Expectancy theory
8.3.1 Alderfer’s theory: ERG theory
Number of needs (based on Maslow)
- Existential needs: these concern material
security, corresponding to the physiological
needs and security defined by Maslow
- Relational needs: concern good relationship
with other peoples. Social acceptance,
appreciation and acknowledgement are
important. Maslow: need for acceptance and
need for acknowledgement
- Growth needs: need direct toward personal
growth and self-fulfillment. Maslow: need for
self-fulfillment
Differences:
, - Not hierarchies of Alderfer’s, different needs can be in effect simultaneously
Frustration-regression hypothesis: need on a lower level become more significant if higher-
level needs are frustrated or are not feasible.
Believes that people are prompted into action if they experience a deficiency
8.3.2 McClelland’s theory
Needs are learnt in early childhood
Steering instrument:
- Performance need: need is directed toward providng a good performance. A person
looks for challenges, both during work and in other activities
- Power need: need to obtain influence and control over people
- Affiliation need: this mainly concerns the building up of good relationships
Opinion: needs will not change anymore, setting in the first years of one’s life
8.3.3 Vroom’s expectancy theory → expected outcome
Perspective: process orientation
Process orientation motivational theory: motivational processes of employees and attempt
to explain why these processes take the form they do
Steps in motivational process:
- Expectancy: how effort relates to performance
- Instrumentality: indicates how performance and reward are related
- Valence: this variable indicates the attractiveness of the reward
Expectancy theory: an employee is inclined to act in particular way based on the
expectation that their actions have a particular outcome
Employee performs better:
- The greater they estimate the change of good results
- The greater their change of obtaining certain reward
- The higher the reward
Extent of motivation = expectancy x instrumentality x valence

characteristics? Because the characteristics of a person and characteristics of his/her
function must match!
