  • What it is?
The notion that people are motivated by a variety of wants. Some more fundamental than others.

  • Organizational Example
 Federal Express 


  • Reflection: How could this impact an organization?
The values of your employees and how those are addressed in an organization will impact the success of that organization.

 If you manage solely by carrot and stick, you'll only get part of the energy and talent people have to offer.

  • What it is?
    • Argyris holds the axiom that specialization tends to have unfavorable outcomes. 

    Bosses direct and control subordinates treating them like children. 

    Rationalizing the narrowing of job definitions backfires due to lack of consideration of human behavior.

    1. Employees withdraw by missing work or just plain quitting.
    2. Employees stay on the job but withdraw, having no motivation. 
    3. Workers sabotage production and deceive administration.  

    • Organizational Example
    - Car Production Assembly Line
    - Cook in a McDonalds 
    - Fruit Pickers 
    -

    • Reflection: How could this impact an organization?

    • Lack of motivation among employees. 
    • Decreased production.
    • Unfavorable interactions among workers and customers.

  • What it is?

  • Argyris argues that people have self-actualization trends. 
  • They try to claim the hierarchy to better jobs.
  • They form alliances like labor unions to address power imbalances. 
  • They teach their children that work is un rewarding and advancements are slim. 

  • Organizational Example
  • factories
  • assembly lines
  • fast food: cooks and cashiers
  • toll booth workers
  • garment industry

    • Reflection: How could this impact an organization?
    • Positive: You get work completed. Clear chain of command.
    • Negative: robotic and monotonous work, negative work culture is contagious, service jobs are perceived and given a negative stigma
