Performance appraisal Evaluating an employee s current and/or past performance relative to his or her performance standards. Performance management The process employers use to make sure employees are working toward organizational goals.
Needs and Motivation Abraham Maslow s Hierarchy of Needs Five increasingly higher-level needs: physiological (food, water, sex) security (a safe environment) social (relationships with others) self-esteem (a sense of personal worth) self-actualization (becoming the desired self) Lower level needs must be satisfied before higher level needs can be addressed or become of interest to the individual.
Needs and Motivation Herzberg s Hygiene Motivator theory Hygienes (extrinsic job factors) Inadequate working conditions, salary, and incentive pay can cause dissatisfaction and prevent satisfaction. Motivators (intrinsic job factors) Job enrichment (challenging job, feedback and recognition) addresses higher-level (achievement, self- actualization) needs. The best way to motivate someone is to organize the job so that doing it helps satisfy the person s higher-level needs.
Instrumentality and Rewards Vroom s Expectancy Theory A person s motivation to exert some level of effort is a function of three things: Expectancy: that effort will lead to performance. Instrumentality: the connection between performance and the appropriate reward. Valence: the value the person places on the reward. Motivation = E x I x V If any factor (E, I, or V) is zero, then there is no motivation to work toward the reward. Employee confidence building and training, accurate appraisals, and knowledge of workers desired rewards can increase employee motivation.
