Although considered the best approach to motivation in terms of
theoretical soundness for some 25 years, expectancy theory was
considered lacking in applications. For the first time this book
presents an application model that gives practical value to the
expectancy theory of motivation thus enabling managers to use it to
improve individual and organizational performance. While other
theories of motivation provide a theoretical framework for thinking
about and understanding what motivates people in the workplace, the
application model presented here for the expectancy theory of
motivation goes far beyond this to provide a practical framework
for diagnosing and solving individual motivation problems. Emphasis
is not on simple motivation problems with straightfoward solutions,
but instead the focus is on how to handle difficult motivation
problems, and how to deal with them in difficult circumstances,
such as when the manager does not have all of the resources or
authority needed to solve the problem. The application model has a
bottom-line, problem-solving orientation with a focus on the
individuality of employees. The book describes specific things
managers can say and do to identify potential and existing
motivation problems in the early stages before they get out of
hand. Techniques for determining the causes of individual
motivation problems are presented. Practical solution approaches
are offered along with guidelines for choosing solutions that match
problem causes and suggestions for effectively implementing the
solutions. The core of the application model is found in a
one-on-one format for managers to follow in working with individual
employees to jointly identify motivationproblems, causes, and
solutions. The principal contribution of the application model
rests with the special ways presented for dealing with difficult
motivation problems when the manager's hands are tied relative to
the solutions that can be offered.
