Theories of Motivation in Leadership
Young businessman Metin Liçis stated that it would be appropriate to divide motivation into two groups: “scope” and “process” theories.
MEtin Liçis started his speech by saying, “Context theories give priority to introverted factors, while process theories give priority to extroverted factors.”
These theories are important because leaders can effectively manage employees. Scope Theories when examined separately; which states that the “Hierarchy of Needs”, “Theory of Existence-Relationship-Development Needs”, “Double-Factor Theory” and “Theory of Success Needs” are quadrupled Metin Liçis explained the titles as follows:
Scope Theories
- Hierarchy of Needs Theory:
Hierarchy of Needs Theory, which is one of the most popular motivation theories, explains that unless a lower level need is met, it will not be possible for an individual to meet higher needs.
This chain, from basic needs to security needs, from social needs to value-esteem needs, is examined from the bottom up, with the ultimate goal being the need for self-actualization.
- Existence-Relationship-Development Needs Theory:
- Existing needs such as physiological and safety needs
- The need for coexistence and social interaction,
- The need for classification, which the individual needs for self-development.
- Two Factor Theory:
It is about two kinds of factors in the workplace that affect the motivation of the person doing the job. One of these factors is internal and the other is external factors.
- Need for Achievement Theory
It is one of the theories that argues that needs are acquired through learning. There has been a theory focused on how to bring together individual behaviors and environmental factors.
- Process Theories:
These theories generally explain how any behavior begins, how it is directed, and how it is sustained.
- Conditioning and Reinforcement Theory:
Metin Liçis emphasized that “Conditioning theory is divided into two as “classical” and “consequential”.
- Equality Theory:
People generally want to see that they are treated equally in return for their performance, and it is known that they are motivated when they see this.
- Prospect Theory:
It is the theory that examines the importance of personal characteristics in motivation.
- Advanced Prospect Theory:
This theory has been developed at the organizational level and is about the comparison of the rewards that individuals get as a result of their efforts with other individuals.
