Question

Industrial psychology.

I am supposed to desgin motivational intervention that improves job satisfaction, improves job performance, reduces job stress, and reduces turnover. This intervention can, and should, include multiple parts, as it’s unlikely that one change will provide a solution to all four problems.

- describe the intervention in detail. What changes will be made to the organization and/or the job itself? How will the intervention be implemented?

- Use at least three work motivation theories (can also use theories related to job stress and/or work attitudes and emotions) to explain why this intervention will improve job satisfaction, improve job performance, reduce job stress, and reduce turnover.

Answer 1

Motivation is very essential in a working envirinment.As explained by Abraham maslow theory of motivation he stressed that there were the basic needs ,psychological needs and the self fufilment needs.The basic needs are physiological and safety needs,psychological needs refers to the self esteem,love and belonging needs,and self actualization where he achieves what he wants.He explains that only if these needs are met there will be possiblity of achievement any problem in any one area could lead to dissatisfaction and low mtivation to perform.

Mc cleland need theory states that needs are acquired by events that people experience in their soceity or environment and high need achievers set goals with difficult tasks,and it is a behaviour directed towards excellence in task.

Argyris Theory states that personality has an effect and management practices and organizational settings largely contribute to the perfomance of an individual.

it is important for an organziation to motivate the workers and take care of their basic needs to provide a good ,cordial relationship with the employees.
