Managers must understand what motivates each employee for the organization to operate at the optimum level. This has not become easier over the years as have many technical challenges, due to the complexity of individuals and the increasing number of motivational theories. Adding to this problem, many managers have tended to ignore the people aspects of management because motivation is a “soft” science rather than a “hard” science. Managers must begin to utilize the largest untapped resource in many organizations: people. This will be the difference between success and failure in the nineties. A method to identify motivational techniques for individuals is outlined to aid managers in selecting the proper approach. The assumption is made that people can be grouped into general classifications, realizing this is only done to provide a foundation for helping to generate ideas for motivating them. People cannot be so neatly grouped in real life, but managers need a starting point and this approach provides that. To identify typical motivators, four fundamental types of people are defined according to their needs and values. Common links are drawn between the various theories of work motivation for a clearer understanding of what they are stressing. The manager’s role is also explored to aid in understanding why managers are needed and common mistakes made. Understanding people’s needs and values is much easier said than done. Communication skills such as speaking, writing, and listening are essential for understanding employees. This will take time and is not something that can be set aside once you understand someone. People’s needs and values are constantly changing and this is the only assumption managers can safely make.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Walter Schroeder Library Master's Theses AC805 .K64 1990 Available Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
