Theories of Motivation

The lecture explores three motivation theories: Taylor's scientific management, Maslow's hierarchy of needs, and Herzberg's two-factor theory. Taylor views money as the primary motivator, using a carrot and stick approach. Maslow's pyramid outlines a progression from basic needs to self-actualization. Herzberg distinguishes between motivators and hygiene factors, emphasizing non-financial motivation. The lecture concludes by evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of these theories.
