Take Away:

from tutorial,
Motivation is something I believe is essential and a driving factor to propel one to do things. Hence the following material captivated me:

=Process Based Approach=

[1] Equity Theory

Reward_for_Snow / Effort_by_Snow = Reward_for_White/ Effort_by_white

When the above ratio do not tally it can cause the person with the less value to feel discourage and become less motivated. Why should I work so hard when I get only $ while the other guy get $ for little effort. Nevertheless there can be other factors to consider besides looking at things in $

[2] Expectancy theory

Motivation = E * I * V

where E:Expectancy (Probability of success), I:Instrumental (Will i be rewarded) & V:Valence (Value of reward) with having value 1 or 0

If either one become zero motivation becomes zero !!

[x]Goal Theory - Goal set -> Prompt action.

=Need Based Approach=

[3] Maslow Needs

Psychological -> Security -> Social -> Self-esteem -> Self-Actualization

It is a progress series of stages we go which can even be a cycle. Can proceed further if the current stage is stable.

[4] Herzberg-two factors { Hygiene-extrinsic | Motivator-intrinsic }

Both factors are essential however the motivators will be the one while will carry you far, Hygiene factors will make one look out for more and more. Civil pay is going to be increase cited because people are leaving to the private sector. The make issue would not have been $.In the long term raising $ will not really help for people will anticipate for the next increment.
