Content theories of motivation explain the specific factors that motivate people. The content approach focuses on the assumption that individuals are motivated by the desire to satisfy their inner needs. Content theories help managers understand what arouses, energizes, or initiates employee behavior.Process theories of motivation focus on the cognitive process underlying an individual’s level of motivation. This approach provides a description and analysis of how behavior is energized, directed, sustained, and stopped. Process theories help explain how an employee’s behavior is initiated, redirected, and halted.Employee motivation has a direct impact on a healthcare organization’s performance. Therefore, managers need to understand what motivates employees. With that knowledge, managers can help employees reach their fullest potential by either controlling extrinsic factors (salary, working conditions, etc.) and influence intrinsic factors (need for recognition, achievement). This allows employees the opportunity to satisfy their personal needs while simultaneously meeting the organizational goals.Assignment:Create an APA essay with 1200-1500 words, complete the following questions using 4 scholarly sources to support your perspective.Discuss how Alderfer’s ERG Theory satisfied the criticisms of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.Discuss McClelland’s 3-Needs Theory as it relates to a manager’s success in the workplace.Discuss the types of reinforcements available to managers for changing an employee’s behavior.
