15. Perspectives of Motivation
Instinct Theory.
Drive‐Reduction Theory.
Incentive theory
Arousal Theory.
• Cognitive Approaches: The Thoughts Behind Motivation
• Two Factor theory
• Hierarchy of Motives.
16. Instinct Theory
• According to instinct theories, people are
motivated to behave in certain ways because
they are evolutionarily programmed to do so.
• According to this theory motivation is in born
pattern of behavior.
• An example of this in the animal world is
seasonal migration. These animals do not learn
to do this, it is instead an inborn pattern of
behavior
• In humans example, instincts may include
behaviors such as an infant’s rooting for a
nipple and sucking.
17. Drive‐Reduction Theory.
• People are motivated to take certain actions in order to reduce
the internal tension that is caused by unmet needs.
• For example, you might be motivated to drink a glass of water
in order to reduce the internal state of thirst.
• Our behavior is motivated by biological need
Need
e.g. need
for food
and water
Drive e.g.
Hunger
and thirsty
Drive reduction
behavior e.g.
Eating and
drinking
19. Incentive theory
• an external goal that has the potential to motivate a behavior.
• While Drive Theory describes an internal state PUSHING you in a
specific direction, Incentive Theory describes how an external
stimulus PULLS you in a certain direction.
• Example.
• What motivates you to eat chocolate chip cookies?
smell (incentive)
Drive INCENTIVE
20. Arousal Theory
• Arousal: Physiological state of alertness & anticipation which
prepares the body for action
• It suggest to people take certain actions to either decrease or
increase levels of arousal.
• When arousal levels get too low, for example, a person might watch
and exciting movie or take a bath or may hangout with their friends.
• When arousal levels get too high, on the other hand, a person would
probably look for ways to relax such as sleeping, being quiet.
21. • According t this There’s optimal level of arousal to produce
optimal performance
• According to this theory, we are motivated to maintain an
optimal level of arousal, although this level can vary based on
the individual or the situation.
• our levels of arousal have an influence on our performance
22. Hertzberg’s Two-Factor Theory
Motivator factors – Simply put, these are factors that lead to
satisfaction and motivate employees to work harder.
Examples might include enjoying your work, feeling recognized
and career progression.
Hygiene factors – These factors can lead to dissatisfaction
and a lack of motivation if they are absent. Examples include
salary, company policies, benefits, relationships with managers
and co-workers.
24. Cognitive theory
• This Theory is suggesting that motivation is a product of people’s
thoughts, expectations.
• focus on the role of our thoughts, expectations, and understanding of the
world.
• based on two kinds of cognitions.
1. Our expectation that a behavior will cause us reach a particular goal.
2. Our understanding of the value of that goal to us.
25. Hierarchal Need Theory
• Abraham Maslow (1970) suggested some needs have priority
over others.
• Physiological needs like breathing, thirst and hunger come
before psychological needs like achievement, self‐esteem and
need for recognition.
• Only after meeting the basic lower-order needs can a person consider
fulfilling higher-order needs, such as the needs for love and a sense of
belonging, esteem, and self-actualization.
27. The hierarchy is made up of 5 levels
1.Physiological – these needs must be met in order for a person
to survive, such as food, water and shelter.
2. Safety – including personal and financial security
3. Love/belonging – the need for friendships, relationships and
family.
4. Esteem – the need to feel confident and be respected by
others.
5. Self-actualization – the desire to achieve everything you
possibly can and become the most that you can be

Notes de l'éditeur
Activation example such as enrolling in a particular class.
An example of persistence would be taking medicine in order to earn a degree although it requires a significant investment of time, energy, and resources
Intensity For example, one student might pass without much effort, while another student will study regularly, participate in discussions, and take advantage of research opportunities outside of class. The first student lacks intensity, while the second pursues his educational goals with greater intensity.
