PERFORMANCE = motivation + skills, knowledge and experience
MOTIVATING FOR OSH WHAT IS MOTIVATION? Traditionally referred to as the processes by which people are moved to engage in particular behaviors Used as an explanation for workers’ productivity, effort and attendance. Is that which ENERGIZES, DIRECTS AND SUSTAINS behavior.
MOTIVATING FOR OSH Energizing function of motivation is its most basic element. Motivation is a state that causes people to act, that drives them to engage in particular behaviors. Motivated people are compelled to do something; unmotivated or lessmotivated people do not feel such a compulsion.
MOTIVATING FOR OSH Directing function of motivation implies that motivated behavior has a purpose: achieving specific goals. Motivated people know what they want to accomplish and engage in behavior to help themselves achieve their goals. Less motivated people may be unsure of exactly what they want to accomplish, which certainly lowers their chances of getting anything done.
MOTIVATING FOR OSH Sustaining function of motivation explains why we persist in our efforts to achieve our goals. It also explains why people sometimes abandon a particular approach to a problem or abandon the problem altogether if they don’t succeed immediately. Highly motivated people will sustain their goal-directed behavior longer than those who are less motivated.
MOTIVATING FOR OSH THEORIES OF MOTIVATION A. NEED Theories – the goal of motivated
behavior is to eliminate or satisfy needs which restores equilibrium
Need-Hierarchy Theory (Abraham Maslow, 1943) – believed that an unsatisfied need leads to behavior designed to satisfy that need, after which that particular need is no longer motivating. His belief was human needs are arranged in hierarchy: physiological, safety, belongingness, esteem, self-actualization.
MOTIVATING FOR OSH ERG Theory (Alderfer, 1969) – an alternative
motivation theory which believes that instead of five needs, it suggests only three: Existence –include all forms of material and physiological desires
Relatedness – include all the needs that involve relationships with significant other people
Growth – include all the needs that involve a person making creative or productive effects on himself and the environment.
MOTIVATING FOR OSH Manifest-Needs Theory (Murray, 1938) – believes
that there are three dozens of needs which are not the same for everyone but are learned as people go about their day-to-day lives. These are activated by events or cues in the person’s environment rather than from deprivation or satisfaction of a lower need. When the appropriate cues for a given need are present, that need becomes active or manifest.
Need for achievement (n Ach) Need to avoid failure (n AF) Need for power (n Pow)
Need for personal power Need for institutionalized power
MOTIVATING FOR OSH B. COGNITIVE THEORIES – which emphasizes
the role of thoughts, expectations and judgments
Expectancy Theory (Vroom, 1964) – the tendency for people to engage in a particular behavior is a function of (1) the strength of their expectation that the behavior will be followed by a given outcome, and (2) the anticipated value of that outcome.
MOTIVATING FOR OSH Equity or Balance Theory (Adams, 1965) – states
that a person’s behavior is influenced by comparisons between her or his current status and some standard. This theory is based on workers’ perceived inputs or what they believe they contribute to their job or organization, and their perceived outcomes, or what they acknowledge the organization provides them in return. Goal-Setting Theory (Locke, 1968) – people’s
behaviors are guided most directly by their intentions, and that intentions in organizations are revealed through personal performance goals which provide them directions.
MOTIVATING FOR OSH C. REINFORCEMENT
Behaviorism deals with the learning of behaviors through conditioning processes such as operant conditioning (B.F. Skinner, 1959) which believed that behavior is controlled by its consequences : REINFORCEMENT or PUNISHMENT
MOTIVATING FOR OSH D. SELF-EFFICACY (Bandura, 1977, Gist, 1987)
- is the extent to which a person believes that he/she has the skills, knowledge, and abilities to accomplish a particular task.
OTHER MOTIVATION ISSUES Work behavior can be motivated by both: INTRINSIC FACTORS
People achieve feelings of competence and control from their work
EXTRINSIC FACTORS
When people receives rewards such as pay and incentive

AN INTEGRATED CONTROL THEORY OF WORK MOTIVATION (H. J. KLEIN, 1989)
MOTIVATING FOR OSH WORKERS’ ATTITUDES ATTITUDES – relatively stable affective, or evaluative dispositions toward a specific person, situation, or other entity which has three basic components: Belief or cognitive Emotional or evaluative Tendency or disposition to act
MOTIVATING FOR OSH JOB SATISFACTION Frederick W. Taylor - wrote “Principles of Scientific Management” (1911) where he described what he saw as the necessary steps to increased efficiency - Advocated the development of cooperation and shared responsibility between management and labor - Introduced time and motion studies which analyzed the individual movements made by workers and identified the most efficient set of behaviors to perform the tasks required by a job. - Believed that all workers desired only economic rewards, and that they would increase their levels of effort to obtain these rewards -
PRODUCTIVITY = PAY or REWARDS
MOTIVATING FOR OSH JOB SATISFACTION
Frederick Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory MOTIVATOR FACTORS OR SATISFIERS • Achievement • Recognition • Work itself • Responsibility • Advancement
HYGIENE FACTORS OR DISSATISFIERS • • • • •
Supervision Interpersonal Relations Physical Working Conditions Salary Company policies and administrative practices • Benefits • Job security
MOTIVATING FOR OSH ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT CONSISTS OF: A strong belief in and acceptance of the organizational goals and values A willingness to exert considerable effort on behalf of the organization A strong desire to maintain membership in the organization
MOTIVATING FOR OSH ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT TWO CATEGORIES: Attitudinal commitment which refers to workers’ identification with and involvement in an organization Calculated or behavioral commitment which is the result of transactions between workers and the organization that make it difficult to leave
Attachment to the organization stems from a reluctance to give up benefits that have accrued over time rather than from sharing the goals and values of the organization.
MOTIVATING FOR OSH LEADERSHIP Real Change Leaders The most common attribute is that they know how to achieve high standards of performance by changing the behavior and skills of lots of people. Common characteristics that help explain how they accomplish better performance results through people:
Commitment to a better way Courage to challenge existing power bases and norms Personal initiative to go beyond defined boundaries Motivation of themselves and others Caring about how people are treated and enabled to perform Staying undercover A sense of humor about themselves and their situations
MOTIVATING FOR OSH Differences between Good Managers and RCLs Key Issues
Traditional GM View
Emerging Real Change Leaders
Basic Mind Set
Analyze, leverage, optimize, Do it, fix it, try it, change it – and do delegate, organize, and control it – it all over again; no one person I know best knows best.
Leadership Philosophy

STYLES OF LISTENING Leisure –
is practiced by “good time” people who listen only for words that indicate pleasure
Inclusive –
style of the person who listens for the main ideas behind any communication

FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS AND METHODOLOGIES OF ADULT LEARNING
FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS AND METHODOLOGIES OF ADULT LEARNING EXPERIENCING (CONCRETE EXPERIENCES)
APPLYING (ACTIVE EXPERIMENTATION) Modifying old behaviors or testing new behaviors and practicing them in everyday situations.
Using the experience participants have had already or providing them with an experience that furthers learning.
GENERALIZING (ABSTRACT CONCEPTUALIZATION)
PROCESSING (REFLECTIVE OBSERVATION) Discussing the experiences participants have had already or sharing reactions and observations of the activity provided.
Finding general trends and truths in the experience that participants have had already or forming reactions to new experiences into conclusions, new concepts, theories

A study of the work environment and the personnel involved will identify the existing level of employee performance. A needs analysis could target individuals who most need additional training or development A needs analysis is an excellent vehicle to get a pulse of what the organization is all about. A needs analysis reveals information about the organizational climate A needs analysis involves the entire work force Because it involves employees and management, these same people will feel they played a part in designing the program.

The plan will help you stay on the proper track and lead you to your stated objectives Properly written, your lesson plan will give the sequence and priorities of the topics you want to cover. By staying with the game plan, your trainees will have a better chance of attaining the prescribed goals. With a well-constructed format, you can have a sense of selfconfidence in knowing that your session is planned in advance. If your session is one that is repeated in other groups, the preparation and planning undertaken can easily be used by another instructor in your absence.
