Organizational Behaviour - Contemporary Motivation Theories 2
EQUITY THEORY :
J. S. Adams made some research and experiments on
motivation in the General Electric business of the USA, and found that reward
justice has a very important value in terms of constantly motivating and
encouraging employees. In his reviews, Adams determined that individuals always
compare the awards given to them with the awards given to others and try to
determine to what extent the awards deemed appropriate for them are equal to
those who show similar success. In this comparison, individuals show their
efforts, intelligence, knowledge, experience and abilities as their inputs or
values that they present to the organization and their successes accordingly.
On the other hand, the rewards and status increases, premiums, bonuses and
similar social aids provided by the organization include administrative powers
and resources, and improvement of occupational safety and workplace conditions.
Individuals compare the proportions of these two elements to determine reward
justice. If there is inequality, it is observed that reward justice is broken
and an imbalance occurs (Eren, 2001; 522).
The individual makes an assessment by comparing their
input / output ratios with the input / output ratios of others. A sense of
equality; it does not require that the perceived outputs and inputs be equal,
it just requires the same rates or equal. The individual may think that he
deserves a higher salary because he works hard when comparing himself to
others. Then the individual's output / input ratio is considered higher. Here,
the individual compares the rewards he has obtained as a result of inputs to the
organization. It should be noted here that these comparisons, averages and
compared groups are the subjective perceptions of the individual (Moorhead et
al., 1989; 135).
EXPECTANCY THEORY :
In the needs / scope theories included in
motivation, the needs that are thought to guide human behavior were considered
and the assumption that the lack of these needs or the desire to be resolved
would direct the behavior in certain ways. However, some researchers have
argued that the existence of human needs is not sufficient to initiate the
behavior, but also that the person should have an expectation that this
behavior will achieve its purpose in satisfying the need, and developed
motivational theories based on this view. "Expectation Theory"
developed by Victor H. Vroom has been widely accepted. Vroom's model was later
developed by Porter and Lawler and made into a detailed model. Victor H. Vroom (1964) stated that a person's choices between alternative directions of movement are related to the psychological consequences that occur at the same time as the behavior.
Vroom (1964: 15) defines the concept of "Valence" (goal value) as emotional orientations for certain outcomes. Accordingly, one will choose one over another for two results, such as x and y. It depends on the relationship between the strength of the person who determines the choice for these two results.
Vroom (1964: 15) expresses the concept of need-motivation as a choice
for a number of purposes. The positive motive refers to the goals with positive
'valences', while the negative motives expressed the goals as negative motives.
Consequently, the individual's ability to act (ie
motivation) consists of a combination of an individual's expectation that he /
she will achieve the goal and the value given by the person (valence) for that
purpose. Vroom (1964) formulated this relationship multiplically because he
stated that it would make it impossible to act if one of the two is absent.
