According to Vroom to motivate someone mere offering a person something to satisfy his important needs will nt be sufficient. In order for the person to be motivated‚ he must also be reasonably sure that he has the ability to obtain the reward. An employee’s motivation increases when he values a particular outcome highly and when he feels a reasonably good chance of achieving the desired goal. This definition says that : Any individual acts in a way to reach a maximal effect with a minimal effort

Compare and contrast Herzberg’s Two-Factor theory with Vroom’s Expectancy theory. Is it possible to combine these two theories? How and why should‚ or shouldn’t it be so? Provide examples to support. Herzberg’s Two-Factor theory focuses on the internal needs of employees. This theory suggests that job satisfaction and job dissatisfaction are not mere opposite of each other and controlled by a different set of factors. While job dissatisfaction is believed to be associated directly with the

Maslow’s need theory has practical limitations in translating needs into something operational‚ since the criteria for satisfying social needs differ from individual to individual. Frederick Herzberg developed a two-factor theory to provide some direction for managers in resolving motivational problems. He derived to this conclusion by a survey he ran back in 1959‚ in which he asked engineers to describe events that led to such feelings of satisfaction about their work and events that led to dissatisfaction

The Vroom Expectancy Theory of Motivation The Vroom Expectancy Theory is “based on the premise that felt needs cause human behavior” and that motivation strength depends on an individual’s degree of desire to perform a behavior (Certo & Certo‚ 2008). As an individual recognizes a need‚ they will more than likely employ an action to satisfy that need. The motivational strength will also fluctuate correspondingly with their desire. If the desire increases‚ so will the motivation. The opposite is true

In1959‚ Frederick Herzberg‚ a behavioural scientist proposed a two-factor theory or the motivator-hygiene theory. According to Herzberg‚ there are some job factors that result in satisfaction while there are other job factors that prevent dissatisfaction.

Herzberg’s Two-Factor theory vs. Vroom’s Expectancy theory The two-factor theory‚ also known as Herzberg’s motivational-hygiene theory‚ is based on the assumption that there are two sets of job factors that influence motivation in a workplace by either preventing dissatisfaction or creating positive satisfaction in a work place.
