Now in the HRM functions we are going to focus on motivation with relation to PQI

WHAT IS MOTIVATION?WHAT IS MOTIVATION? Motivation represents an unsatisfactory need

which creates a state of tension or disequilibrium, causing the individual to move in a goal directed pattern towards resorting a state of equilibrium, by satisfying the need.

There are two types of motivation namely external and internal.

Internal is self motivation and external is done by the influence of the external factors such as reward or punishment.

Maslow’s theory of motivationMcGregor’s x & y theoryHerzberg’s motivational factorsMcClelland’s theory.

REQUIREMENT OF MOTIVATION IN REQUIREMENT OF MOTIVATION IN PQI PQI

Improvement in the quality of product and processes alone does not increase the efficiency or quality of production or service. But the improvement of the personal quality is also must to increase the effectiveness or quality of the production or service.

PQI is nothing but to improve the personal quality of individual.

This can be achieved by motivating the individual.This can be achieved by external or internal

motivation.

MCGREGOR’S X & YMCGREGOR’S X & Y X- theory- individuals are lazy & avoid work & needs to be

supervised.PQI cannot be achieved by the external factors such as rewards which may not improve the quality of individual or process which may motivate them only to get rewards nothing else.

Y- theory- individuals are ambitious, self motivated and require less supervision. Here the individuals are motivated internally i.e. by self motivation without any external factors such as rewards or punishment and they themselves identify the missing skills or the area to be improved and they work on it for PQI. Therefore PQI holds good for this theory.

MASLOW’S THEORY OF MOTIVATIONMASLOW’S THEORY OF MOTIVATION

MASLOW’S THEORY OF MOTIVATIONMASLOW’S THEORY OF MOTIVATION

In Maslow’s theory of motivation the individuals are self motivated to satisfy their own needs and their needs keep on becoming higher and higher when they satisfy the lower level needs.

To satisfy the high level needs they improve their own personal qualities and process. To gain recognition and higher position in the society they identify the area to be improved, the missing skills and they work on it to satisfy their high level needs. So PQI holds good in this theory

Need for achievement

Need for affiliation

Need for power

MCCLELLAND’S THEORYMCCLELLAND’S THEORY

The same principle similar to that of Maslow’s theory applies here. Here an individuals are self motivated to satisfy the three needs. Individuals have the drive to satisfy the three needs

Individuals identify the areas to be improved, missing skills and process and work on it for satisfying their needs and for accomplishment.

So PQI holds good in this theory.

HERZBERG’S MOTIVATIONAL HERZBERG’S MOTIVATIONAL FACTORSFACTORS

There are two factors namely motivators and hygiene factors.

The hygiene factors are known as dissatisfies and motivation factors are known as satisfiers.

The absence of motivation factors does not cause dissatisfaction but whereas the absence of hygiene factors cause dissatisfaction.

HERZBERG’S MOTIVATIONAL HERZBERG’S MOTIVATIONAL FACTORSFACTORS

Hygiene factors cannot improve the quality of employee or work and realization of goal so it does not motivate towards personal quality improvement and self empowerment.

For example consider pay hike it is a very important motivator but it does not guarantee any improvement in quality of work or person and dedication of employee towards realization of goals. A pay hike may be a motivator to obtaining more hike and nothing more.

Therefore the motivational factors only helps the employees in the improvement of the personal qualities.
