Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2010 in the subject Leadership and Human Resources - Miscellaneous, grade: A, The University of Surrey (School of Management), course: MSc Human Resource Management, language: English, abstract: This paper critically evaluates whether incentives and threats really help to motivate employees. For this purpose the phenomenon of motivation in this specific area will be illustrated and explained through multiple theories and practical examples. A considerable amount of traditional theories in relation to motivation can be found in many books and journals. In fact, many influential traditional theorists such as Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs (1943), Douglas McGregor’s Theory X and Theory Y (1957) and Frederick Herzberg’s Dual-factor-theory (1986) wrote about motivation or people’s behaviour in general. On the other hand, Victor Vroom (1964) explained his opinion about work behaviour with his ‘Expectancy theory’. Some of these theorists support their views with different models.

Download or read book Incentive Theory and Motivation written by IntroBooks and published by IntroBooks. This book was released on 2018-02-20 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Motivation is one of the foremost driving forces of human nature. Its what puts us at the edge of every action and activity; it is the sole driving force that keeps us to moving forward in our journey to live and write our own story of life. It might seem philosophical in the beginning, and yet its motivation alone that wakes us up every day, keeps us alive every minute we exist, prompts us to complete our daily tasks and ultimately aim for a higher and a better of living. We have it inside of us and everybody is possessed with it. Indeed, several socio-political and economic issues and disasters that we observe often, can actually be very much related to a lack of motivation among people’s lives. Motivation can thus be equated as a synonym for ‘morale’. Ever since the beginning of time, motivation has always been with us. Its what led our earliest ancestors to stay alive in spite of numerous hardships that existed back then, prompted them to ‘get the hunt in time’ and made sure that groups never faded away. Motivation has been the prime factor behind every individual we remember today! Einstein invented the theory of relativity and everything scientists have been able to know of the universe because he was motivated to discover things nobody had done so before, with passion and energy. Human civilisation is in itself a by-product of motivated spirits; the inherent thirst to keep moving forward that has allowed humans as a species to test the forces of time.

Download or read book Essays on Healthcare Providers Incentives and Motivations written by Samuel Kembou Nzale and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We study incentive properties of healthcare providers' contracts in different contexts and using a range of methods. In Chapter 1, we propose a "regulator-agent'' model with adverse selection on altruism, limited liability and a possible effort enhancing input provided by the regulator. In such a context (characterizing the healthcare sector with a free access to personalized medicine, for example), we show that the optimal contracts entail higher salaries for the altruistic agents and higher effort-enhancing technology for selfish agents. In Chapter 2, we propose an experiment in which healthcare providers can access for free or at a given cost, personalized medicine techniques. For different payment systems, we assess the likelihood of making the decision to access personalized medicine when it is paid. We also focus on how healthcare providers use these technologies, depending on whether their access is free or costly. We find that healthcare providers tend to make better use of personalized medicine techniques when they acquire it at a cost. In Chapter 3, we study incentive properties of performance pay systems. Using the same experiment as in Chapter 2, we find that performance-based systems increase healthcare providers' attention on what is relevant to the patient. It however destroys their intrinsic motivation.
Download or read book The Hidden Costs of Reward written by Mark R. Lepper and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2015-09-16 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1978, this volume provided a broad survey of the latest research and theory, at the time, concerning the potential detrimental effects of inappropriate uses of tangible rewards to modify behaviour. Overall, this research questions the dominant paradigm within which reinforcers, by definition, have positive effects on performance and subsequent behaviour, and suggests new directions for the study of human motivation. In a series of five original integrative essays, the contributors summarize their own and related research programmes. These theoretical essays are complemented by two introductory chapters, that provide a historical context for this research, and four discussion chapters, that speak to broader issues, including both the implications and limitations of the research presented. At the time, this was the latest information on a most provocative area.
Download or read book Why We Work written by Barry Schwartz and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An eye-opening, groundbreaking tour of the purpose of work in our lives, showing how work operates in our culture and how you can find your own path to happiness in the workplace. Why do we work? The question seems so simple. But Professor Barry Schwartz proves that the answer is surprising, complex, and urgent. We’ve long been taught that the reason we work is primarily for a paycheck. In fact, we’ve shaped much of the infrastructure of our society to accommodate this belief. Then why are so many people dissatisfied with their work, despite healthy compensation? And why do so many people find immense fulfillment and satisfaction through “menial” jobs? Schwartz explores why so many believe that the goal for working should be to earn money, how we arrived to believe that paying workers more leads to better work, and why this has made our society confused, unhappy, and has established a dangerously misguided system. Through fascinating studies and compelling anecdotes, this book dispels this myth. Schwartz takes us through hospitals and hair salons, auto plants and boardrooms, showing workers in all walks of life, showcasing the trends and patterns that lead to happiness in the workplace. Ultimately, Schwartz proves that the root of what drives us to do good work can rarely be incentivized, and that the cause of bad work is often an attempt to do just that. How did we get to this tangled place? How do we change the way we work? With great insight and wisdom, Schwartz shows us how to take our first steps toward understanding, and empowering us all to find great work.
