Maslow’s theory of needs tends to be treated as classical within the field of organisational behaviour‚ being referred to as a ‘classic among classics’ (Matteson‚ Ivancevich‚ 1989; Wilson‚ 1999). However I aim to prove that motivation theory is a much broader topic than the principles of Maslow with the use of two content theories; ‘two-factor theory’ and ‘Theory X & Theory Y’‚ as well as process theories; Expectancy Theory and Equity Theory. To further prove my point I will use Marx’s theory and

The main focus of this book is about “thin-slicing” of human mind. Mankind often see the situation or people with a little of understanding. People try to recognize the situation they are in‚ resulting them to look at only a small portion of the whole thing. We humans often perceive things by what we look and hear.

Anomie Theory In the 1930s‚ sociologist Robert K. Merton generated what came to be referred to as the anomie theory of deviant behavior. In his view‚ deviant behavior—illicit drug use included—takes place when avenues to material success are blocked off.

Everything started off great‚ my grades were outstanding; however I started to hang out with the wrong crowd. This led to my grades dropping because I would rather hang out with my friends than do homework and study. Freshman year was all fun and games for me. What I truly needed were friends to lead to me in the right directions and make me realize that skipping
