Leadership and Motivation

INTRODUCTION
2 major influences affect how individuals perform:
1. The type of leadership that exists
2. Personal motivation

Important to look at these two concepts as


interconnected and dependent on individual
situations
WHAT IS MOTIVATION?
Motivation is defined as the extent to which
persistent effort is directed toward a goal

1. Effort - must be defined in relation to its appropriateness


to the objectives being pursued.
2. Persistence - relates to the willingness of the individual to
stay with a task until it is complete
3. Direction - measured in terms of how persistent effort is
applied in relation to the goals being pursued
4. Goals - individual goals and organizational goals (must be
compatible)
TYPES OF MOTIVATION
Extrinsic Motivation
- Factors in the external environment such as pay,
supervision, benefits, and job perks
Intrinsic Motivation

- Relationship between the worker and the task


5 WAYS TO MOTIVATE A TEAM
1. Figure out what makes them tick (individual
needs)
2. Give clear expectations
3. Consistent reinforcement and consequences
4. Healthy competition
5. Change out team members
NEEDS-BASED MOTIVATION
Maslows Hierarchy of Needs:
Physiological
Safety
Relationship
Esteem
Self-actualization

The more you move from basic to higher level needs, the
more motivation depends on internal factors
Important that organizations present opportunities to
satisfy such needs
Physiological needs- These are the basic needs of air, water, food, clothing
and shelter. In other words, physiological needs are the needs for basic
amenities of life.
Safety needs- Safety needs include physical, environmental and emotional
safety and protection. For instance- Job security, financial security,
protection from animals, family security, health security, etc.
Social needs- Social needs include the need for love, affection, care,
belongingness, and friendship.
Esteem needs- Esteem needs are of two types: internal esteem needs (self-
respect, confidence, competence, achievement and freedom) and external
esteem needs (recognition, power, status, attention and admiration).
Self-actualization need- This include the urge to become what you are
capable of becoming / what you have the potential to become. It includes
the need for growth and self-contentment. It also includes desire for gaining
more knowledge, social- service, creativity and being aesthetic. The self-
actualization needs are never fully satiable. As an individual grows
psychologically, opportunities keep cropping up to continue growing.
NEEDS-BASED MOTIVATION
Alderfers ERG Theory:
Existence
Relatedness
Growth

Similar to Maslows Hierarchy in that it focuses on a


differing levels of needs, which are usually satisfied in
order of importance
Unlike Maslows theory in that it allows for higher needs to
be met before lower-level needs under certain
circumstances
Existence needs- These include need for basic material necessities. In short,
it includes an individuals physiological and physical safety needs.

Relatedness needs- These include the aspiration individuals have for


maintaining significant interpersonal relationships (be it with family, peers or
superiors), getting public fame and recognition. Maslows social needs and
external component of esteem needs fall under this class of need.

Growth needs- These include need for self-development and personal


growth and advancement. Maslows self-actualization needs and intrinsic
component of esteem needs fall under this category of need.
NEEDS-BASED MOTIVATION
McClellands Theory of Needs: This theory states that human behaviour is
affected by three needs - Need for Power, Achievement and Affiliation.

Need for achievement is the urge to excel, to accomplish in relation to a set


of standards, to struggle to achieve success.

Need for power is the desire to influence other individuals behaviour as per
your wish. In other words, it is the desire to have control over others and to
be influential.

Need for affiliation is a need for open and sociable interpersonal


relationships. In other words, it is a desire for relationship based on co-
operation and mutual understanding.
VROOMS EXPECTANCY THEORY

It proposes that people decide what to do based on what we expect


the outcome to be. At work, it might be that we work longer hours
because we expect a pay rise.

Expectancy Theory is based on three elements:

1. Expectancy the belief that your effort will result in your


desired goal. This is based on your past experience, your self
confidence and how difficult you think the goal is to achieve.
2. Instrumentality the belief that you will receive a reward if you
meet performance expectations.
3. Valence the value you place on the reward.
LEADERSHIP
Once it is known what motivates people,
leadership can be thought of in relation to
individual situations
Two main types of leaders:

Emergent

Assigned
LEADERSHIP SHAPING BEHAVIOR
Rewards the most effective type of
reinforcement
E.g. Compliments, tangible benefits, etc.
Punishments have minimal impact on
behaviour
E.g. Reprimands, withholding of raises,
unfavorable task assignments, etc.
LEADERSHIP STYLES
Directive - includes scheduling work,
maintaining performance standards, and letting
subordinates know what is expected from them
Supportive - friendly, approachable, and
concerned with pleasant interpersonal
relationships.
Participative leaders will consult with their
subordinates, and consider their opinions.
Achievement-oriented - encourages subordinates
to exert higher efforts and strive for a higher
level of goal accomplishment.

PERCEPTION
Perception is a process by which individuals

in order to give meaning to their environment.
FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE
PERCEPTION
FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE PERCEPTION
Needs - Unsatisfied needs or motives stimulate individuals and may exert a
strong influence on their perception.
Self-concept - It refers how a person perceives himself/herself which in turn
influence his or her perception of the world around them.
Attitudes: The preferences and likingness affects ones perception.
Interests: Individuals focus of attention is also influenced by the interests of
people. A plastic surgeon will more likely to notice an imperfect nose than a
plumber.
Past experiences: Individuals past experiences also influence in molding ones
perception. For example if one has had problem responding to examination
questions in the past, he or she will tend to perceive even simple, straightforward

examination question as tricky.


FIVE STAGES IN PERCEPTUAL PROCESS
Stage I: Observation Phase It depicts the
environmental stimuli being observed by the
fives senses of the perceived
Stage II: Selection of the Stimuli: This is
governed both by factors external to the
perceived, such as the characteristics of the
stimulus, and internal to the individual, such as
the personality disposition and motivations of the
perceiver.
FIVE STAGES IN PERCEPTUAL PROCESS
Stage III: Organizing Stage In this stage, the
perceiver is influenced by figure and ground, grouping,
and several perceptual errors such as stereotyping halo
effects, projection and perceptual defense.
Stage IV: Interpretation Stage: This stage is
governed by the perceivers assumptions of people and
events and attributions about causes of behavior and
feelings.
Stage V: Behavior Response: In this stage the
response of the perceiver takes on both covert and overt
characteristics. Covert response will be reflected in the
attitudes, motives, and feelings of the perceiver and
overt responses will be reflected in the actions of the
individual.
ATTITUDES
Attitudes are evaluative statementseither favorable or
unfavorableabout objects, people, or events. They reflect
how we feel about something. When I say I like my job, I am
expressing my attitude about work.
ATTITUDE - COMPONENTS

Cognitive component of an attitude a description of or belief in


the way things are. It sets the stage for the more critical part of an
attitude,

Affective component . Affect is the emotional or feeling segment


of an attitude and is reflected in the statement I am angry over how
little Im paid. Finally, affect can lead to behavioral outcomes.

The behavioral component of an attitude describes an intention to


behave in a certain way toward someone or somethingto continue
the example, Im going to look for another job that pays better.
ATTITUDE - COMPONENTS
SOURCES OF ATTITUDES
Family Members: Parents or siblings influence strongly to form
favorable or unfavorable attitudes towards various objects.

Reference Group: People tend to form a strong attitude based on the


influence of powerful personalities whom they admire a lot. For
example, celebrities, charismatic political or religious leaders
significantly influence either to strengthen the existing attitudes or
form new attitudes.

Peer Group influence: Friends or colleagues at work place will have a


strong influence on the formation of certain attitudes or belief system
due to pressure to conforming to their norms, standards, values etc.
MAJOR JOB ATTITUDES
Job Satisfaction A positive feeling about ones job resulting from an
evaluation of its characteristics.

Job Involvement The degree to which a person identifies with a job,


actively participates in it, and considers performance important to self-
worth.

Psychological Empowerment Employees belief in the degree to


which they affect their work environment, their competence, the
meaningfulness of their job, and their perceived autonomy in their
work.

satisfaction with, and enthusiasm for the work he or she does.
COGNITIVE DISSONANCE THEORY

Cognitive dissonance refers to any incompatibility


between their behavior and attitudes or incompatibility
among a various attitudes. In general, people always
prefer a consistency or equilibrium in their life.

It is very difficult process to avoid dissonance


completely. But one can minimize the occurrences of
such dissonance by carefully choosing the choices or
changing the attitudes suitably.
SELF-PERCEPTION THEORY

Attitudes are used to make sense out of an action that has


already occurred. When asked about an attitude towards
some object, individuals recall their behavior relevant to that
object and then infer their attitude from the past behavior.
VALUES

Values represent basic convictions that a specific mode


of conduct or end-state of existence is personally or
socially preferable to an opposite or converse mode of
conduct or end-state of existence.

They contain a judgmental element in that they carry an


individuals ideas as to what is right, good, or desirable.
VALUES

The Importance of Values

Values lay the foundation for our understanding of peoples


attitudes and motivation and influence our perceptions.

We enter an organization with preconceived notions of what


ought and ought not to be. These notions are not value-
free; on the contrary, they contain our interpretations of right
and wrong and our preference for certain behaviors or
outcomes over others.
VALUES

Value System A hierarchy based on a ranking of an


individuals values in terms of their intensity.

Terminal Values Desirable end-states of existence; the


goals a person would like to achieve during his or her
lifetime.

Instrumental Values Preferable modes of behavior or


means of achieving ones terminal values.
