SERVE AS, AND DEVELOP, POSITIVE ROLE MODELS

MOTIVATION THEORIES

The needs theories of motivation considered to be the most popular

The underlying concept of all needs approaches is that a need that is unsatisfied creates a state of internal disequilibrium which is uncomfortable for the individual. This approach assumes that human beings constantly seek a state of equilibrium.

GOAL SETTING DEFINED

GOAL SETTING IS APPROPRIATE WHEN:

The goals are specific and require higher level effort and performance

Subordinates and supervisors are committed to the goals

The goals are legitimate for the organization

The goals are accompanied by concrete feedback

The leadership does not see the goal setting process as a loss of power

IS GOAL SETTING APPROPRIATE?

Situation 1: Your supervisor believes that he/she should make all decisions.

Situation 2: Your organization serves as the project office for the commander. It is hard to predict what next project will be and the office is constantly under time pressure.
