Abstract
Description
The focus and thrust of this paper is to arouse the interest and minds of
Managers on effective use of Motivation based on available theories and
their application in organisations. It is also instructive to note that
discerning Managers know the limits or bounds imposed by over
dependence on theories, and when peculiar circumstances require prudent
use of initiative. This is the hallmark of managerial savvy which is
indispensable in organizational effectiveness. This paper is segmented as
follows: Meaning of Motivation; Theories of Motivation (Maslow,
Herzberg, Mcgregor, Vroom and Alderfer); A sequence of critique
relevance and application to organizations which also contain
recommendations, and conclusion. It concluded by linking Motivation
theory to management practice and recommended that managers must be
sensitive to employees’ needs in order to direct employees
energies/creativity towards the attainment of organizational goals and
objectives.
