Identifies two factors, hygiene-extrinsic and motivating factors-intrinsic; unacceptable
hygiene factors lead to job dissatisfaction. Hygiene factors that are acceptable produce
a state of satisfaction but not motivation. Hygiene factors and motivation factors lead to
motivation.
Motivating Factors: Achievement, recognition, the work itself. The presence of
motivators makes employees work harder. They are found within the actual job itself.
Hygiene Factors company policies, salary, working conditions - If hygiene factors are
not present, then employees will not try as hard. Hygiene factors are outside of and
surround the actual job itself. This diagram shows what the result of motivating and
hygiene factors is. Note you will sometimes see motivators referred to as factors for
satisfaction, and hygiene factors referred to as factors for dissatisfaction
McGregor's Theories of X and Y
, Theory X: If you believe that your team members dislike their work and are poorly
motivated, then, McGregor suggests you will adopt an authoritarian style of
management. This style is very "hands-on" and normally involves a process of
micromanaging people's work to ensure that the work is done correctly.
Theory Y: Still, if you think that your people pride themselves on their work and accept it
as a challenge, you will more likely apply the participation management style. In this
approach, the managers believe that the men can decide for themselves whether they
can do the job properly without being overseen. McGregor labeled this as Theory Y.
William Ouchi
Theory Z: strong focus on well-being and providing a job for life yields increased
employment loyalty. Trusting employees to do their job and creating a community.
