Human Motivations Quarter (hereinafter, the Quarter) is the second of four lectures of Individuals Quadrivium (hereinafter, the Quadrivium):

The Quadrivium is the first of seven modules of Septem Artes Administrativi, which is a course designed to introduce its learners to general concepts in business administration, management, and organizational behavior.


Outline

The predecessor lecture is Human Perceptions Quarter.

Concepts

  1. Psychological drive. An innate, biologically determined urge to attain a goal or satisfy a need.
    • Drive doctrine. A theory that attempts to define, analyze, or classify the psychological drives. This doctrine is based on the principle that organisms have certain psychological needs and that a negative state of tension is created when these needs are not satisfied. When a need is satisfied, drive is reduced and the organism returns to a state of homeostasis and relaxation. According to the theory, psychological drive tends to increase over time and operates on a feedback control system, much like a thermostat.
    • Motivation. Enterprise efforts that account for an individual's intensity, direction, and persistence of effort toward attaining a goal.
    • Demotivation. Enterprise efforts by which a person's efforts toward attaining a goal are weakened, distracted, and declined.
  2. Drive factor. A factor that accounts for an individual's psychological drive.
  3. Psychological stress. In psychology, a feeling of strain and pressure. This feeling emerges as a response to one or more stressors or a lack of those. The reaction can possibly be pleasant, but the term, psychological stress, is usually used to describe unpleasant ones because constant and unpleasant reactions can cause serious health conditions. Some researches argue that human beings need some level of psychological stress in order to function normally.
    • Stress administration. Practice and a set of concepts, based on that practice, that define culture of coping or dealing effectively with psychological stress.
    • Need. (1) Something that is wanted or required; (2) Circumstances in which something is necessary, or that require some course of action.
    • Change risk. A risk, positive and/or negative, of some change.
  4. Stressor. A factor that causes stress. The factors may include demands, constraints, or opportunities.
    • Challenge stressor. A stressor associated with workload, pressure to complete tasks, and time urgency.
    • Hindrance stressor. A stressor that keep you from reaching your goals (for example, red tape, office politics, confusion over job responsibilities).
  5. Stressor origin. The point or place either in the external or internal environment, where the stressor originates, arises, or is derived.
  6. Physiological stressor. A stressor such as physiological need, want, or risk related to physiological factors.
    • Physiological need. A person's need for basic food, drink, shelter, and other physical needs.
    • Physiological want. A person's want for special food, drink, shelter, sexual satisfaction, and other physical wants.
  7. Safety stressor. A stressor such as safety need, want, or risk related to safety factors.
    • Safety need. A person's need for basic security and protection from physical and emotional harm.
    • Safety want. A person's want for special security and protection from physical and emotional harm.
  8. Social stressor. A stressor such as social need, want, or risk related to social factors.
    • Social need. A person's need for basic affection, belongingness, affiliation, acceptance, and friendship.
    • Need for affiliation. The desire for friendly and close interpersonal relationships.
    • Social want. A person's want for special affection, belongingness, acceptance, and friendship.
  9. Efficacy stressor. A stressor such as esteem need, efficacy want, or risk related to esteem and efficacy factors.
    • Esteem need. A person's need for internal factors such as self-respect, authority, power, and achievement, as well as external factors such as status, recognition, and attention.
    • Need for power. The need to make others behave in a way in which they would not have behaved otherwise.
    • Need for achievement. The drive to succeed and excel in relation to a set of standards.
    • Efficacy want. A person's want for special internal factors such as self-respect, authority, and achievement, and external factors such as status, recognition, and attention.
  10. Advancement stressor. A stressor such as self-actualization need, advancement want, or risk related to advancement factors.
  11. Early theories of needs. A group of early theories of motivation that suggested that some particular needs drive human behavior.
  12. Extrinsic motivation.
    • Operant conditioning. A theory of learning that says behavior is a function of its consequences.
    • Theory X. The assumption that employees dislike work, are lazy, avoid responsibility, and must be coerced to perform.
    • Reinforcement theory. A theory that suggests that behavior is a function of its consequences.
    • Reinforcer. A consequence immediately following a behavior, which increases the probability that the behavior will be repeated.
  13. Intrinsic motivation.
    • Theory Y. The assumption that employees are creative, enjoy work, seek responsibility, and can exercise self-direction.
    • Equity theory. The theory that an employee compares her or his job's input-outcomes ratio with that of relevant others and then corrects any inequity.

    • Self-determination theory. A theory of motivation that is concerned with the beneficial effects of extrinsic motivation.
    • Cognitive evaluation theory. A version of self-determination theory that holds that allocating extrinsic rewards for behavior intristically rewarding tends to decrease the overall level of motivation if the rewards are seen as controlling.
  15. Stakeholder analysis. The work to identify the stakeholders who may be impacted by a proposed initiative and assess their interests and likely participation.
    • Stakeholder power (high, medium, low)
    • Stakeholder support (positive, neutral, negative)
    • Stakeholder influence (high or low)
    • Stakeholder need (strong, medium, weak)
    • Stakeholder change readiness (unaware – this group has no information about the project; resistant – aware of project and resistant to the changes and impacts the project may bring; neutral – aware of the project and neither supportive nor resistant; supportive – aware of the project and the potential changes and impacts and is supportive; leading – aware of the project and actively engaged to ensure the project's success).
