Five MotivationalApproaches

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs: HowDoes Context Affect Motivation?Maslow posited that people were motivated by five basic needs,which include the need to survive physiologically, the need forsecurity, the need for affiliation, the need for self-esteem, and theneed for self-actualization.And when needs are not being met, people engage in certainbehaviors to satisfy them.To motivate employees to work harder, leaders must determinewhere their followers are on the needs hierarchy and ensure that alllower-order needs are satisfied before appealing to their higher-order needs.

Maslow’sHierarchyof Needs

Achievement Orientation: HowDoes Personality Affect Motivation?Atkinson has proposed that an individual’s tendency to exert efforttoward task accomplishment depends partly on the strength of his orher motivation to achieve success, or as Atkinson called it,achievement orientation.Achievement orientation is also a component of the Five FactorModel or OCEAN model of personality dimension ofconscientiousness.McClelland maintained that differences in achievement orientationare a primary reason why people differ in the levels of effort theyexert to accomplish assignments, objectives, or goals.
