Reinforcement theories of Motivation
-learning is the process through which people acquire new behavior

-the law of effect--> states that people learn (or unlearn) behavior based on the consequences that result from that behavior
What is the Operant Conditioning Process?
Stimulus--> Response--> Consequence

aka

Antecedent-->Behavior--> Outcome
Stimulus =?

Response=?

Consequence=?
Stimulus= a signal, cue or specific context

Response= the behavior that you want to change

Consequence= outcomes that occur based on the behavior
What is positive reinforcement?
positive behavior is reinforced by a positive consequence
What is negative reinforcement?
When one responds positively to a negative situation (neg stimulus)the negative stimulus is removed

By making the most out of the negative situation, it becomes a positive one
What is avoidance learning?
it is a preventative measure; used to avoid bad/prob situations

positive stimulus, positive response, avoidance of a negative consequence- makes it a positive situation all around
What are the 6 guidelines for increasing desired employee behavior?
1. make sure that you understand the
S-R-C linkage
2. Make sure the consiquence is positively valued by employee
3. link positive consequences w/ the desired behavior more frequently to facilitate acquisition of the behavior
4. vary the frequency of using positive consequences to maintain the desired behavior (reward occasionally)
5. Vary the type of positive consequences used
6. Watch the costs associated with administering your positive consequences. (reward doesn't need to be extravagent)
What is the difference between punishment and non-reinforcement?
Punishment= application of a negative consequence
-could strain relationship w/ manager
Non-Reinforcement= no positive consequence
-less confrontational
-1st alternative to punishment
What are the 5 guidelines for Eliminating Undesired Employee Behaviors?
1. Make sure that you understand the S-R-C linkage (
2. make sure that the consequence is negatively valued by the employee
3. make sure to explain the desired behavior to the employee. (eliminate the knowing doing gap)
4. be aware of other negative consequences that may result from the use of punishment
5. Use punishment only when there is a real need to do so.
What is the S-R-C linkage?
stimulu-> Response-> Consequence

what is the behavior, why did it occur, and what is the consequence

- accept ownership of goal
- allow for participation in setting/defining goals

goal commitment
-willing to spend time and effort
-intensity effort of motivation
What are the managerial/practical implications of Locke and Latham's goal setting theory?

-the Comparison other

class demonstration w/ latham
According to Adam's Equity Theory, what are the 3 motivations resulting from equity outcomes?
1. Equitable Payment
2. Underpayment Inequity
3. Overpayment Inequity
what is equitable payment?
We perceive what we get is fair for what we put into it
what is underpayment inequity?
"what I'm getting for what I'm doing is significantly less compared to others." (e.g. playing favorites)

--> people are very quick to perceive they are being ripped off
What is Overpayment inequity?
When the oucome is extremely high compared to the input

- has to be really high in order to feel guilty about it.
- people motivated to change behavior to acheive equity
-might work- harder to justify output
What are the managerial/practical implications of the Equity Theory?
- monitor and manage employee perceptions of equity with the objective of acheiving perceived payment equity
- assess employee equity perceptions on a regular basis and strive to acheive and sustain perceived equity in work-related inputs and outcomes

1. NEED DEFICIENCY
2. SEARCH for Potential need-satisfying goal
3. PERCEPTION of potential need-satisfying goal
4. ATTEMPT to ATTAIN goal
5. Goal Attainment or Frustration
Describe Alderfer's sets of needs (ERG)
1. Existence -- all forms of material and physical desires
2. Relatedness -- all needs involving relationships w/ significant other persons
3. Growth -- All needs involving a person making creative and productive efforts on the self and the environment
According to Alderfer's ERG Theory, when is one experiencing satisfacion progression?
When the order of needs goes from

Existence Needs to
v
Relatedness Needs to
v
Growth Needs
According to Alderfer's ERG Theory, when is one experiencing frustration regression?
when the order of needs goes from

Growth Needs to
v
Relatedness Needs to
v
Existance Needs
4 Differences Between MaslowÂ’s Need Hierarchy and AlderferÂ’s ERG Theory
1. Alderfer collapses MaslowÂ’s 5 levels into 3
2. Alderfer says growth need strength is POSITIVELY related to growth need satisfaction
3. Alderfer sees a hierarchy only in terms of increasing abstractness
4. Alderfer recognizes frustration regression as well as satisfaction progression
What are McClellandÂ’s 3 Manifest Needs?
1. Need for Achievement: The need to do well no matter what goal is pursued.
2. Need for Affiliation: The desire to establish and maintain friendly and warm relations with other people.
3. Need for Power: The desire to control other people, to influence their behavior, and to be responsible for them.
What are the 8 implications of need theories?
-Different people have diff needs structures as well as diff needs that may be salient at a given time.
-While satisfaction occurs when needs are met, motivation flows from lack of satisfaction.
-A reward may satisfy multiple needs.
-Needs appear to form 2 or 3 clusters.
-While most people 1st focus on existence needs when those needs are not satisfied, it is not possible to say which needs will next become most important.
-Both satisfaction progression and frustration regression are important.
-The top cluster of needs, sometimes called growth needs, behave differently from others.
-It may be possible to develop peopleÂ’s needs.

1. Positive Reinforcement
2. Negative Reinforcement
3. Avoidance Learning
What are the 2 strategies for arranging contingencies to decrease undesired behaviors?
1. Nonreinforcement (extinction)
2. Punishment
Define the 4 types of schedules of reinforcement and characteristics associated with them.
-Continuous reinforcement: every instance of the target behavior is reinforced
-Fixed-interval: a reinforcer is provided at fixed time intervals (e.g., weekly paycheck)
-Variable-interval: a reinforcer is administered randomly around some average interval (e.g., four pop quizzes during semester)
-Fixed-ratio: A reinforcer is provided after every n responses (e.g., bonus for every ten units sold)
-Variable-ratio: A reinforcer is administered on average every n responses (e.g., payoff on slot machine on average of once every ten pulls of handle)
What are the 4 desired properites of reinforcement schedules?
1. Rapid Learning. The schedule should quickly teach desired behaviors.
2. High Response Rate. The schedule should have high “bang for the buck” (that is, high levels of motivation at a relatively low cost).
3. High Response Stability. The schedule should encourage engaging in desired behaviors on a regular basis.
4. Low Extinction Rate. The schedule should ensure that, once a behavior is learned, it will be maintained even if reinforcement is temporarily stopped.
Identify and discuss the practical guidelines for effectively using learning techniques in organizations (7)
- DonÂ’t give the same reward to all.
- Recognize that failure to respond has reinforcing consequences.
- Tell a person what behavior gets reinforced.
- Tell a person what he or she is doing wrong.
- DonÂ’t punish in front of others.
- Make the consequences equal to the behavior.
- Reinforce behaviors as soon as possible.

Locus of control is an indicator of an individualÂ’s sense of control over the environment and external events.
Describe difference b/w people w/ internal and those w/ external locus of control.
-A person with an external locus of control feels controlled by fate, chance, and circumstance.
-A person with an internal locus of control feels in control of his or her life.
Internals are generally more highly motivated than externals.
internal Leaders tend to choose more innovative strategies and to be more proactive and future oriented.
Since managers are increasingly facing dynamic, unstructured situations, tolerance for ambiguity is clearly an important characteristic.
Describe how people low and high tolerances view situations differently?
Individuals with high tolerance for ambiguity welcome uncertainty and change.
Those with low tolerance for ambiguity see such situations as threatening and uncomfortable.

-think any behavior is acceptable if it achieves their goals
-try to manipulate others
-are unemotional and detached
-“look out for Number One”
-arenÂ’t likely to be good team players
-are relatively likely to be unethical
-MachiavelliÂ’s name to become synonymous with self-serving, manipulative, deceitful behavior.
Self-monitoring is a personÂ’s ability to adjust his or her behavior to external, situational factors.
Describe High Self-monitors
High self-monitors:
-are very sensitive to external cues and are “chameleon-like.”
-can present striking contradictions between their public and private lives -- are capable of “disguise.”
-are effective in “boundary role” situations and other situations requiring multiple “faces.”
-are more likely to assume leadership roles than low self-monitors
Describe Type A individuals
Type A individuals:
-feel great time pressure and impatience.
-work aggressively, speak explosively, and find themselves constantly struggling.
-are much more likely than Type BÂ’s to experience high stress levels and associated symptoms, including coronary heart disease.
-have trouble delegating responsibility to others, donÂ’t work well in groups, and are impatient with tasks requiring prolonged problem solving.

Define job satisfaction
-the affective component of work-related attitudes.
-it is how employees feel about their jobs.
-Managers may be concerned about employeesÂ’ satisfaction with specific facets of the job, as well as about their overall job satisfaction.
What are the 2 primary views of the determinants of job satisfaction?
situational and dispositional
How does the situational perspective view satisfaction?
-sees satisfaction as largely due to things in the environment of the employee, such as the nature of the job, reward system and supervision. If this view is correct, it may be possible to influence satisfaction levels by changing such things.
How does the dispositional perspective view satisfaction?
The dispositional perspective sees satisfaction as due to individual factors -- some people are simply more satisfied in general than are others -- and thus as relatively stable and more difficult to change. If this view is valid, varying the situation may have little impact on satisfaction.
What are the situational determinants of satisfaction?
Situational Determinants of Satisfaction
Many work-related factors influence job satisfaction
-equitable rewards
-work itself: challenge, physical demands, personal interest
-working conditions: physical, goal attainment
-others in the organization:such as the supervisor
-fringe benefits
What are the Dispositional Determinants of Satisfaction?
-A direct approach is to measure the degree to which people seem to be generally positive or negative in their outlooks.
-These are called positive affectivity and negative affectivity.
-also supported by studies that follow people as they move across jobs through their lives;
-Another approach is to view identical twins reared apart.-identical twins reared apart have considerable similarity in satisfaction levels despite different jobs.
Discuss the relationship b/w attitudes and behaviors.
-weak links between attitudes and behaviors.
-a personÂ’s behavior depends on many things beyond attitude
-In general, attitudes will best predict behaviors when:
The attitude is specific to the behavior.
The attitude is potent.
The attitude is salient (more noticeable/prominent in our attention).
The behavior is not constrained or subject to other influences.

Act:
-INTEGRATE lessons learned
-REFORMULATE theory
-ADJUST methods
-LEARN MORE about what needs to be learned
What are heuristics?
are devices we use- often w/out knowing it- to simplify decision making
-they are simply rules of thumb
What are the 4 basic types of heuristics?
1. Satisficing
2. Representativeness
3. Availability
4. Anchoring and adjustment
What does satisficing mean?
-a type of heuristic
-means choosing the first acceptable alternative
-when faced w/ a great deal of info, we may simply ignore most of the info and focus on just 2 or 3 attributes
What does Representativeness?
Representativeness is the tendency to place something in a class if it seems representative of the class.
What is the heuristic "availablity"?
Availability is the tendency to estimate the probability of an event based on how easy it is to recall instances of the event.
What is anchoring and adjustment?
Anchoring and adjustment is the tendency to use an early bit of information as an anchor and then use new information to adjust from that initial anchor.
What are the 8 guidelines for improving problem solving?
1. Be aware of barriers
2. Learn more about your characteristics as a prob solver
3. Pay attention to all stages of the prob-solv-process
4. Work to attain complete and accurate info
5. Employ Creativity enhancement techniques
6. Consider using computers as an aid
7. Use systematic tools for evaluation and choice
8. Consider using a group problem-solving process
What are the 6 basic types of creativity enhancement techniques?
1. Gordon Technique
2. Synectics
3. Idea Checklists
4. Attribute listing
5. checkerboard method
6. Retroduction
Describe the Gordon Technique
-The Gordon Technique is used to avoid people taking an available alternative and improving it bit by bit.
-initial focus on function.
ie rather than being told to build a better mousetrap, the group might first be told that the focus was capturing.
Synectics means “the joining together of apparently unrelated elements.”
Synectics relies heavily on use of analogies, including:
-Direct analogy: involves looking at parallel facts, knowledge, or technology in a different domain from the one being worked on.
-personal analogy: members try to ID psychologically w/ key parts of the prob
-Fantasy analogy: asks, “How in my wildest dreams can I make this happen?”
-Synectics also includes a full structured problem-solving sequence.
Idea checklists
Idea checklists involve asking a series of questions about how we might use something that we already have.
ex:checklist of idea-spurring ques called SCAMPER, for:
Substitute?
Combine?
Adapt?
Modify or magnify?
Put to other uses?
Eliminate or reduce?
Reverse or rearrange?
According to the developer of attribute listing, “Each time we take a step we do it by changing an attribute or a quality of something, or else by applying that same quality or attribute to some other thing.”
What are the 2 forms of attribute list
-attribute modifying: main attributes of the prob object are listed. Then, ways to improve each attribute listed.
-Attribute transferring: similar to direct analogy in synectics; attributes from one thing are transferred to another.
The checkerboard method, also called morphological analysis, is an extension of attribute modifying.
How is it different/an extension? Why is it benefitial?
-Specific ideas for 2 attribute or problem dimensions are listed along 2 diff axis of a matrix.
-The cells of the matrix then provide idea combinations.
-->The benefit of the method is that it makes us aware of all possible combinations of the attributes.
We are all slaves of our assumptions; they dictate the way we behave.
What is the purpose of Retroduction?
Retroduction involves changing an assumption. This may serve two purposes:
-our assumptions may be wrong
-even if our assumptions are correct, we may gain valuable new perspectives from looking at things from a diff angle
-1 retroduction technique says, “Suppose X were Y”
-Another asks “What if?”
What are the 10 characterictics of a creative organization?
1. Stable, secure internal environment
2. Open channels of communication
