Learning Objective 3: Explain the characteristics of Job design particularly: Job Specialisation, Job Enlargement, and Job Enrichment. Terms Job Specialisation Definition Job Rotation Job Enlargement Job Enrichment 3 Learning Objective 4: Identify the differences between mechanistic and organic organisational designs. Look at the following organizations Organisation A This organization is a manufacturing firm. Managers are expected to document fully all decisions and ‘good managers’ are those who can provide detailed data to support their recommendations. Creative decisions that incur significant change or risk are not encouraged. Because managers of failed projects are openly criticized and penalized, managers try not to implement ideas that deviate much from the status quo. One lower level manager quoted an often used phrase in the company: ‘If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.’ Employees are required to follow extensive rules and regulations in this firm. Managers supervise employees closely to ensure that there are no deviations. Management is concerned with high productivity, regardless of the impact on employee morale or turnover. Work activities are designed around individuals. There are distinct departments and lines of authority, and employees are expected to minimize formal contact with other employees outside their functional area or line of command. Performance evaluations and rewards emphasise individual effort, although seniority tends to be the primary factor in the determination of pay. Organisation B This organization is also a manufacturing firm. Here, however, management encourages and rewards risk taking and change. Decisions based on intuition are valued as much as those that are well rationalized. Management prides itself on its history of experimenting with new technologies and its success in regularly introducing innovative products. Managers or employees who have a good idea are encouraged to ‘run with it,’ and failures are treated as ‘learning experiences. ’ The company prides itself on being market driven and rapidly responsive to the changing needs of its customers. There are few rules and regulations for employees to follow, and supervision is loose because management believes that this comes through treating its people right. The company is proud of its reputation as being a good place to work. Job activities are designed around work teams, and team members are encouraged to interact with people across functions and authority levels. Employees talk positively about the competition between teams. Individuals and teams have goals, and bonuses are based on achievement of outcomes. Employees are given considerable autonomy in choosing the means by which goals are obtained. 4 Which organization in the case above is Organic and which is Mechanistic. Explain why you have identified them as being either organic or mechanistic by applying as many of the factors as possible – you may not be able to apply all of them. Terms Organisation A Organisation B There are distinct departments and Team members are encouraged to lines of authority. interact with others across functions Organic vs. Mechanistic Chain of Command Unity of Command Line Authority and authority levels. Centralisation of Who makes the decisions? Who makes the decisions? Who makes the decisions? Who makes the decisions?

Empowered ___________ develop feelings of competence and self-determination and believe their work to have meaning and impact 6 FNDB022– Foundation Management Week 9– Motivation and Goal Setting Learning Objective 1: Explain the basics of motivation Learning Objective 2: Use equity theory to explain how employees’ perceptions of fairness affect motivation Learning Objective 3: Use expectancy theory to describe how workers’ expectations about rewards influence motivation Learning Objective 4: Explain how reinforcement theory works and how it can be used to motivate Learning Objective 5: Describe the components of goal-setting theory and how managers can use them to motivate workers Learning Objective 1: Define Motivation …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… What goals do you have for your study? …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… What “forces” stop you from being motivated (demotivate you)? …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… 1 Briefly explain the following equation: Job Performance =Motivation x Ability x Situational Constraints. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Job Performance …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Motivation …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Ability ………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Situational Constraints …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………… Explain and interpret Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs What are needs? …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… How do needs motivate workers? …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… 2 Maslow’s Needs classification People have _____________, so they perceive reality accurately, have a sense of awe, wonder and gratitude about life. They are not selfcentered but rather problem-centered and focus on how to improve. How might an organisation fulfil the need? As individuals, we naturally wish to excel or be exceptional, to be noticed for our unique talents and capabilities. Once one has some measure of _____________________, one gains the psychological freedom to be creative and to grow as well as to be more generous to others Lack of interactions, human relationships and the sense of __________________ may result in depression or loneliness. An abundance of love and community often sustain people through difficult times, the healthiest, happiest people tend to be more involved in their communities. The ___________ needs occurs, when one loses one’s job, family, home, life savings, health insurance, etc. It makes one feel secure and protected. The __________________Needs such as breathing, food, drink, sleep, are largely (and obviously) biological and physical requirements 1. According to Alderfer's ERG theory, the lowest-order need is: a. existence b. relatedness c. physiological needs d. ego-related e. empathy 2. McClellend's learned needs theory identifies three needs. They are the needs for: a. achievement, relatedness and growth b. existence, relatedness and growth c. affiliation, growth and power d. power, self-actualisation and growth e. power, achievement and affiliation 3. Which of the following statements about needs is true? a. In all situations, higher-order needs can be used to motivate. b. The importance of lower-order needs is identified by all needs theories. c. The relative importance of the various needs may change over time in a predictable pattern. d. Higher-order needs are concerned with survival and security. e. Higher-order needs will generally not motivate people as long as lower-order needs remain unsatisfied. 3 Explain extrinsic and intrinsic rewards 1. What is an extrinsic reward? Give examples. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… 2. What is an intrinsic reward? Give examples. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… 3. What is the difference between extrinsic and intrinsic rewards? …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Learning Objective 2: Explain Equity Theory General description/diagram of Equity Theory: Although the advent of professional women's sporting leagues has led to dramatic increases in opportunities for women in sports at high school, university and professional levels, significant discrepancies still exist between men's and women's sport. For example, women receive less media coverage, promotion and institutional support. According to ____________________, the motivation for women athletes to perform at the top of their ability is less than that for men. 4 Use equity theory to explain how employees’ perceptions of fairness affect motivation. The basic components of equity theory are , an internal comparison in which employees compare their and . After to their , they then make an external comparison in which they compare their O/I ratio with the O/I ratio of a , a person who works in a similar job or is otherwise similar. When their O/I ratio is equal to the referent’s O/I ratio, employees that they are being treated fairly. But, when their O/I ratio is different from their referent’s O/I ratio, they perceive that they have been treated , under- and over- or unfairly. There are two kinds of . Under- , which occurs when a referent’s O/I ratio is better than the employee’s O/I ratio, leads to anger or frustration. Over, which occurs when a referent’s O/I ratio is worse than the employee’s O/I ratio, can lead to guilt, but only when the level of over-reward is extreme. Give a real world example to explain how an employee could feel inequity and how they might resolve this feeling …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Learning Objective 3: Explain Expectancy Theory General description/diagram of Expectancy Theory: 5 4. According to expectancy theory, ________affect the conscious choices that people make about their motivation. a. equity, value-added and instrumentality b. valence, expectancy and instrumentality c. expectancy, reinforcement and instrumentality d. instrumentality, equity and expectancy e. expectancy, equity and reinforcement 5. According to expectancy theory, in order for people to be highly motivated, _________must be high. a. the value added b. reinforcement usage c. instrumentality d. equity e. referent power 6. On the television series Lost, a group of survivors sincerely believed that if they built a raft, they could float on it out into a shipping lane and be rescued. In terms of expectancy theory, the raft builders had a: a. low degree of instrumentality b. low valence c. potential for over-reward d. high level of expectancy e. high valence Learning Objective 4: Explain Reinforcement Theory 7. Reinforcement theory says behaviour is a function of: a. perception b. environment c. its consequences d. conscious choices e. the situations in which it occurs The ________ kinds of reinforcement contingencies are ___________ reinforcement, __________ reinforcement, ___________ and ______________. Positive reinforcement _____________ behaviour (i.e., _______ its frequency) by following behaviours with _____________ consequences. For example, receiving high grades for mid-semester test or final exam. Negative reinforcement strengthens behaviour by _________ an ___________ consequence when employees perform a __________ behaviour. For example, some of your grading may be tied to your attendance or participation in all unit classes. By contrast, punishment _________ behaviour (i.e., __________ its frequency) by following behaviours with ___________ consequences. For example, the teacher may only ask students who have not performed well in class (e.g. low contribution to group activities) to present their insights to the whole class. Extinction is a reinforcement strategy in which a _________ consequence is no longer allowed to follow a previously reinforced behaviour. By removing the positive consequence, extinction _________ the behaviour, making it less likely to occur. For example, your teacher may offer you feedback or hints for upcoming assessment where you participate in class, however inadequate or uninspired participation may not achieve the same results. Thus, _____________ act to either strengthen or weaken a behaviour over time. 6 Learning Objective 5: Explain Goal Setting Theory What are the components of goal-setting theory? Goal-setting theory states that people will be to the extent to which they accept specific, challenging goals and receive feedback that indicates their progress toward goal . The four components of goal-setting theory are goal goal and performance . Goal , is the extent to which goals are detailed, exact and unambiguous. Goal challenging to accomplish. Goal , goal is the extent to which a goal is hard or is the extent to which people consciously understand and agree to goals. And performance is information about the quality or quantity of past performance that indicates whether progress is being made toward the accomplishment of a . How can managers use goal-setting theory to motivate employees? To motivate using goal-setting theory, managers should assign goals, make sure workers truly , specific performance-related and organisational goals and provide . What are SMART goals? Why are they important in goal setting theory? …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Can goals be too challenging? What effect might this have on employee motivation? …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… 7 FNDB022 MANAGEMENT WEEK SIX LEARNING OBJECTIVES By the end of this chapter you should be able to: Explain how organisational cultures are created and how they can help companies be successful.

Positive reinforcement _____________ behaviour (i.e., _______ its frequency) by following behaviours with _____________ consequences. For example, receiving high grades for mid-semester test or final exam. Negative reinforcement strengthens behaviour by _________ an ___________ consequence when employees perform a __________ behaviour. For example, some of your grading may be tied to your attendance or participation in all unit classes. By contrast, punishment _________ behaviour (i.e., __________ its frequency) by following behaviours with ___________ consequences. For example, the teacher may only ask students who have not performed well in class (e.g. low contribution to group activities) to present their insights to the whole class. Extinction is a reinforcement strategy in which a _________ consequence is no longer allowed to follow a previously reinforced behaviour. By removing the positive consequence, extinction _________ the behaviour, making it less likely to occur. For example, your teacher may offer you feedback or hints for upcoming assessment where you participate in class, however inadequate or uninspired participation may not achieve the same results. Thus, _____________ act to either strengthen or weaken a behaviour over time. 6 Learning Objective 5: Explain Goal Setting Theory What are the components of goal-setting theory?

FNDB022– Foundation Management
Week 9– Motivation and Goal Setting

Learning Objective 1: Explain the basics of motivation
Learning Objective 2: Use equity theory to explain how employees’ perceptions of fairness affect
motivation
Learning Objective 3: Use expectancy theory to describe how workers’ expectations about rewards
influence motivation
Learning Objective 4: Explain how the reinforcement theory works and how it can be used to motivate
Learning Objective 5: Describe the components of goal-setting theory and how managers can use them
to motivate workers

Learning Objective 1: Define Motivation

Motivation is a process that initiates, directs and makes people persistent in their endeavour to
achieve a set objective (Wlodkowski & Ginsberg, 2017).
What goals do you have for your study?

First, to achieve good performance by putting more efforts into my studies. Secondly, to satisfy my
needs, both economic, social and physical needs. This is through setting up goals and motivating
myself towards achieving them. Thirdly, to get rewards. Rewards which are an excellent motivator
for working hard is one of my targets with my studies.
What “forces” stop you from being motivated (demotivate you)?

I feel demotivated when there is not recognition of achievement or lack of reward for a task done.
Also, unequal treatment is a force that lowers my motivational levels. Lack of good communication
and clear direction or guidance is another source of demotivation to me, especially when criteria
are not followed to the latter. Lastly, lack of empowerment, giving some little authority and
assurance is a good source of motivation and withdrawal is a force that stops me from being
motivated.

Briefly explain the following equation: Job Performance =Motivation x Ability x Situational Constraints.
Job Performance
Job performance is related to the act of doing a job or rather how well someone performs a job. It is a
means of reaching a set of goals or a goal. It depends on the level of motivation, the ability and
situational constraints when performing a particular task.
Motivation
Motivation is one of the components of achieving a job performance. It refers to the efforts that a
worker puts forth on the job.
Ability
Ability is the possession of the skills or means to perform a task. It is the capability that one must get a job
performance.
Situational Constraints
These factors which limit the extent to which a job is performed. They are the external forces which
affect the performance.

Explain and interpret Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
What are needs?

Needs are the psychological or physical needs that have to be achieved for survival and wellbeing.
Therefore, a deficiency in need causes an adverse outcome.

How do needs motivate workers?
Unmet needs motivate people towards goal achievement. Motivation is as a result of an
individual’s attempt to achieve his/her needs. Needs creates an internal pressure that acts to
influence a person’s behaviour hence motivate the individual.

1. According to Alderfer's ERG theory, the lowest-order need is:
a. existence
b. relatedness
c. physiological needs
d. ego-related
e. empathy
2. McClellend's learned needs theory identifies three needs. They are the needs for:
a. achievement, relatedness and growth
b. existence, relatedness and growth
c. affiliation, growth and power
d. power, self-actualisation and growth
e. power, achievement and affiliation
3. Which of the following statements about needs is true?
a. In all situations, higher-order needs can be used to motivate.
b. The importance of lower-order needs is identified by all needs theories.
c. The relative importance of the various needs may change over time in a predictable
pattern.
d. Higher-order needs are concerned with survival and security.
e. Higher-order needs will generally not motivate people as long as lower-order needs
remain unsatisfied.

Explain extrinsic and intrinsic rewards
1. What is an extrinsic reward?

Give examples.

It is a visible and tangible reward that is given to an employee for performing something. For
example, salary bonus, target-related bonus, promotion, and trophies.
2. What is an intrinsic reward?

Give examples.

Intrinsic reward is a natural reward of a sense of achievement or recognition for doing a job for its
own sake. For instance, learning opportunities, getting to do interesting work, professional
development, and self-actualisation.
3. What is the difference between extrinsic and intrinsic rewards?
Extrinsic reward is reward oriented or done to avoid punishments while intrinsic reward focuses on personal
sake or its own sake.
Learning Objective 2: Explain Equity Theory

General description/diagram of Equity Theory:
Equity theory states that there should be a good balance between the employee's inputs and the
outcomes. The inputs are the contributions that the employees make to the organisation, such as
skill level, enthusiasm, hard work, and acceptance. The outcomes are the rewards workers get
for their inputs to the company. In contrast, the referents are the others who workers refer to to
check if they have been served with fairness.

Inputs referent

Although the advent of professional women's sporting leagues has led to dramatic increases in opportunities for
women in sports at high school, university and professional levels, significant discrepancies still exist between
men's and women's sport. For example, women receive fewer media coverage, promotion and institutional
support. According to equity theory, motivation for women athletes to perform at the top of their ability is less
than that for men.

Use equity theory to explain how employees’ perceptions of fairness affect motivation.
The basic components of equity theory are inputs, outcomes and referents. After an internal
comparison in which employees compare their outcomes to their inputs, they then make an
external comparison in which they compare their O/I ratio with the O/I ratio of a referent, a
person who works in a similar job or is otherwise similar.
When their O/I ratio is equal to the referent’s O/I ratio, employees perceive that they are being
treated fairly. But, when their O/I ratio is different from their referent’s O/I ratio, they perceive
that they have been treated inequitably or unfairly. There are two kinds of
Inequity, under-reward and over-reward. Under-reward, which occurs...
