Developed in 1969 by Clayton Alderfer, ERG is a needs based model similar to Maslow’s. Alderfers theory was developed to address aligned needs with practical research rather than Maslows theory based findings of human development rather than focused on motivation at work (Robbins, 1998) . A theory that retained the hierarchal methodology but with fundamental differences, a reduction of five levels of needs to three. Existence is prioritised refers to psychological and welfare noted as basic human needs that include physiological desires such as food, water, air, safety, love and affection. Followed by Relatedness focuses on an individual’s desire to fulfil interpersonal relationships thus encompasses the social and external esteem relations …show more content…
Creed (2011) notes that although a specific order is depicted in the model, the order of need can differ for each individual. Alderfer (1969) emphasises that there is a unique frustration-regression factor. In the event that a higher level need is not satisfied a lower level can become activated resulting in continued frustration or revert to an easier lower level need. ERG in additon proposes that more than one need can be activated at anyone time which is contrary to Maslow’s theory. Evidently from research ERG theory has received more credibility than Maslow’s in that its strength derives from focusing on job specifics. In particular reference is made to wage fringe benefits (Arnolds & Boshoff, 2002).
5.1.1.3 Hertzberg Two Factor Theory
Also known as Job Enrichment Theory or Motivator-Hygiene Theory, Hertzberg’s Two Factor Theory of motivation was developed in 1959. Hertzberg (1959) concluded that the opposite of satisfaction was not dissatisfaction but no job satisfaction, the opposite of dissatisfaction is not job satisfaction but job dissatisfaction. Thus job satisfaction and job dissatisfaction are

Three core components are the basis of the theory; Expectancy, in exuding a specific effort, a specific performance will be a direct result based upon probability or degree of certainty ; Instrumentally, a particular type of job performance is most likely to result in a specific outcome i.e. belief that a specific amount of performance will reap reward and Valance, the value attached to a specific reward or outcome given by an individual (Arvinen-Muondo & Perkins, 2013). However, Latham (2007) argues that the relationship between performance and reward may be seen by employees as weak due to a tendency by organisations to reward not solely on performance but also on hierarchy within organisation, length of service and
Autism is a disease that the world is still attempting to understand and properly diagnose. According to WebMD autism had been identified as far back as the early 1900’s. Autism has once been thought to have been a mental disease, or as a result of bad parenting. This disease has been categorized as having one or two of symptoms or a large variety of them.
In “The Belief Engine”, Alcock (1951) highlighted the necessity of skepticism by revealing the malfunction of brain activities when making judgments. He indicated that people automatically generate false beliefs and neglect the truthfulness of the issue. In “Occult Beliefs”, Singer and Benassi (1981) suggested that occult beliefs are indestructible; people tend to invent an explanation to satisfy their own beliefs, which relates to Alcock’s proposal of our brains acting as a “belief engine” (Alcock, 1995). The authors in both articles attempted to explain how people invent these “magical thinking” (Alcock, 1995), and why those beliefs outweigh scientific explanations. It is ironic that while scientists try simultaneously to disprove paranormal beliefs, occults actually influence modern psychology.
When he was looking Into the Mirror of Erised, Mark Medve sees himself as a NAVY Seal. In the mirror of Erised, Mark Medve Is a tall bearded man with sunglasses, a hat a bulletproof vest, and cargo pants. He likes it. He got his inspiration from his dad telling him about Chris Kyle and how his nickname was “The Legend”. He thinks that he can do good by serving his country and helping the people in it.
There is only one approach in psychology that studies thoughts, feelings and behaviour. The biological approach believes that the way we are is due to our genetics and physiology. They believe that the activity going on our nervous system’s is what affects the way we think, feel and behave (Sammons, 2009). The physiology in the biological approach looks into how the brain functions. The brain is a very complicated machine as such, the brain is what controls our every move, every feeling and every action.
In 1972, G.S. Graham and P.J. Denning, developed the Graham-Denning Model that shows how subjects and objects should be securely managed to include creation and deletion. It also addresses how to assign specific access rights. The model is set up based on subject, object, and rules that tie in both. The Graham-Denning model resolves the security questions related to defining a set of specific rights on “how particular subjects can execute security functions on an object.” (Pfleeger & Pfleeger, 2003)
The amount of time spent with something will change your views and thinking, that is what Barbara Ehrenreich and Lars Eighner share in their papers. Both had low status jobs after having a college education and their work is similar, yet opposites in some ways. The difference is that in Ehrenreich’s, “Serving in Florida”, she believes that restaurant waitressing jobs are degrading to workers because she only had one experience for research and had to stick with it for a short time that she chose, it was unnecessary work to her. While in Eighner’s, “On Dumpster Diving”, he thinks of them as a privilege and enjoyable because he had no other choice than his line of work, he had to put up with being homeless for 3 years to survive without any help.
Sutherland’s theory of Differential Association takes a macro level analysis as to why people commit crimes and brings it to a micro level analysis. He concludes that looking at a multiple factor approach did not explain why crimes are committed. Instead he asks the question what one singular factor touches on these multilevel factors. Sutherland looked for the universal explanation as to why crimes are committed rather than looking at individual reasons. His theory seeks what has always been present in crime and what has not or better yet what mechanism or experiences correlate to the crimes committed.

Looking at Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, there are five primary needs which emphasizes on human motivation (Poduska, 1992). The physiological needs or basic needs are at the lowest level of the hierarchy. These needs must be satisfied in order for individuals to survive. It is then followed by the safety or security needs where individuals seek for protection and stability. When these needs are satisfied, individuals are motivated to fulfill the next level of needs which is the love and belongingness needs.
A performance-oriented philosophy is followed; no one is guaranteed compensation just for adding another year to organisational service. Instead, pay and incentives are based on performance differences among employees. Employees who perform well get larger compensation increases; those who do not perform satisfactorily receive little or no increase in compensation. Thus, employees who perform satisfactorily should keep up or advance in relation to a broad view of the labour market for their jobs, whereas poor or marginal performers should fall
In New York City there once was a man with a very bad issue. He was intellectually stupid. Then he went to a school for adult stupidness and the teacher recommended him to a doctor to get some test done. They did many tests and made him write progress reports. After he did everything the doctor said he became smart.
INTRODUCTION Adapted from the course module notes, there are two categories of theories and techniques in job design to motivate employees: 1. Content theories by Maslow, McClelland, Herzberg and Alderfer. 2. Process theories such as Job Rotation, Job Enlargement and Enrichment; Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory, The Hackman and Oldham Model and Empowerment.
This theory is proposed by Araham Harold Maslow by year 1954. There are 5 different needs in this theory which consists of: Physiological; Safety; Belongingness; Need for esteem and Self-actualization. Maslow believed that a man being motivated by the needs he wants to satisfy. So, the fundamental needs must be satisfy in order to begin motivating behavior (Adiele and Abraham, 2013). 1) Physiological Physiological needs is fundamental and most basic need for human survival.
The Harvard Model of HRM: Back in 1984, Beer et al developed the Harvard model of the HRM. Beer et al believe that the human resource is passes many of pressures nowadays, therefore, eliminating the pressures is required. These pressures could be eliminating by having a long-term perspective in terms of controlling people and potential assets rather than just variable costs. As a result, Beer et al approach the Harvard Model of the HRM. The purpose of this model is to solve the pressures that may occur in the HR of any organizations; these pressures include all management decisions that will affect the relationship between the organizations and their workers, in addition to a clear plan for the HRM policies and procedures by the manager of
Maslow proposed five-level classification of human needs as physiological, safety, love, esteem and self-actualisation. He suggested that physiological needs are the basic needs and these needs should be satisfied first and then subsequent needs emerge. Self-actualisation is the highest order of needs and to fulfill this need a person should be biologically efficient, usually in better health, both mentally and physically. The degree of satisfaction is resulted by fulfillment of these hierarchy of needs. However, these needs can vary individual to individual regarding their personal characteristics, pathology, and health care settings.
