Theories of Motivation

There are many theories in relation to motivation – Taylor’s scientific management, Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, Herzberg’s two factor motivation, McGregor’s Theory X and Y, Ouchi’s Theory Z, etc. Choose one theory from the textbook or lesson reading. Find an article that applies that theory to nursing or healthcare in general. Discuss how the theory is still applicable to motivational situations in the workforce.
Keeping employees motivated is a common issue across all organizations. As the theories addressed in the book and lecture show, some motivators are intrinsic to the individual and some are extrinsic. Generally, the organization can only address extrinsic motivators.
