Organizational Behavior - Motivation
motivation - correct answer ✔The processes that account for an individual's
intensity, direction, and persistence of effort toward attaining a goal.


Hierarchy of Needs Theory (Abraham Maslow) - correct answer ✔Abraham
Maslow's hierarchy of five needs—physiological, safety, social, esteem, and
self-actualization—in which, as each need is substantially satisfied, the next
need becomes dominant.


physiological - correct answer ✔Includes hunger, thirst, shelter, sex, and
other bodily needs.


safety - correct answer ✔Security and protection from physical and
emotional harm.


social - correct answer ✔Affection, belongingness, acceptance, and
friendship.


esteem - correct answer ✔Internal factors such as self-respect, autonomy,
and achievement, and external factors such as status, recognition, and
attention.


Self-actualization - correct answer ✔Drive to become what we are capable of
becoming; includes growth, achieving our potential, and self-fulfillment.


Hierarchy of Needs Theory -\n \nlower-order needs - correct answer ✔Needs
that are satisfied externally, such as physiological and safety needs.

, Hierarchy of Needs Theory -\n \nHigher-order needs - correct answer ✔are
satisfied internally (within the person)


Theory X and Theory Y (Douglas McGregor) - correct answer ✔proposed
two distinct views of human beings: one basically negative, labeled Theory X,
and the other basically positive, labeled Theory Y\n \n*Unfortunately, no
evidence confirms that either set of assumptions is valid or that acting on
Theory Y assumptions will lead to more motivated workers. OB theories need
empirical support before we can accept them. Theory X and Theory Y lack
such support as much as the hierarchy of needs.


Theory X - correct answer ✔The assumption that employees dislike work,
are lazy, dislike responsibility, and must be coerced to perform.


Theory Y - correct answer ✔The assumption that employees like work, are
creative, seek responsibility, and can exercise self-direction.


Two-Factor Theory (psychologist Frederick Herzberg) - correct answer ✔A
theory that relates intrinsic factors to job satisfaction and associates extrinsic
factors with dissatisfaction. Also called motivation-hygiene theory.


hygiene factors - correct answer ✔Factors—such as company policy and
administration, supervision, and salary—that, when adequate in a job, placate
workers. When these factors are adequate, people will not be dissatisfied.


Two factor theory criticism - correct answer ✔The two-factor theory has not
been well supported in the literature, and it has many detractors.12 Criticisms
include the following:\n* 1. Herzberg's methodology is limited because it relies
on self-reports. When things are going well, people tend to take credit.
Contrarily, they blame failure on the extrinsic environment.\n* 2. The reliability
of Herzberg's methodology is questionable. Raters have to make
interpretations, so they may contaminate the findings by interpreting one
