Motivation is a process that arises from research in physiological or psychological need that activates a behavior or a drive that is aimed at a goal (Byrnes 2009). The corresponding theories arise from research in psychology, identified as four theory areas: need, cognitive, reinforcement, and social learning (ibid.). Need theories states that people behave the way they do because of internal needs they are attempting to fulfill (ibid.). Cognitive theories argue that the ways people think are used to decide their behaviors. Reinforcement theories depend heavily on the effect of law, which argues that people
Expectations about own work role as expressed in relevant standards(Code of Practice, Regulations, Essential standards, National Occupational Standards): to examine why and how I practice, to identify areas for improvement, to develop different ways of working, to develop new areas of learning. 2. Be able to reflect on practice Importance of reflective practice: reflecting on situation can improve own knowledge, skills and understanding and may include: giving me grater insight, examining how effective my practice is, thinking through different approaches. Own values, belief system and experiences may affect working experiences by: understanding and being open to others` attitudes and beliefs, respecting differences between own and others personal attitudes, being aware of own personal attitudes and beliefs. 3.
Interpellation is where ideology functions in constructing identity and creating a particular position for an individual in society. The role of interpellation and subjectivity can be said as important in creating identity to an individual. Thus, the process of identification creates an identity, where ‘You identify me and I become that me that you have identified’ (Judith Butler , 2009). The connection between interpellation and subjectivity can be seen through Louis Althusser’s depiction of the interpellative function of Ideological State Apparatuses: "[I]deology 'acts' or 'functions' in such a way that it 'recruits' subjects among the individuals (it recruits them all), or 'transforms' the individuals into subjects (it transforms them all) by the very precise operation which I have called interpellation or hailing, and which can be imagined along the lines of the most commonplace every day police (or other) hailing: 'Hey, you there!'”. With the comment, Althusser stress on the close relation of how interpellation functions in constructing subjectivity.
Our appetite and body plays a role in this level. Without certain elements, proteins, calcium, nutrients, and water, how can we progress or live on to develop other needs. If these needs and others go unsatisfied, all others may become nonexistent. Once these needs are fulfilled we can then start moving up the pyramid to fulfill other needs. The second stage is safety needs or security needs.
I will explain the basic ideas of functionalism and explain how common-sense plays a role in the theory. I will then present one objection to the common-sense functionalism theory and form a hypothesis of how a common-sense functionalist would respond to the objection. Lastly, I will present my own evaluation of the common-sense functonalism theory. Functionalism, in simple terms, is the doctrine that the function of an object should determine its design and materials. It is a doctrine in the philosophy of mind according to which mental states are defined by their causes and effects.
Motivation will help induce an individual to think "If I am unable to do something or if I cannot, then I must put forth an effort and try." This in return will make a person do whatsoever it takes to obtain success. Motivation is in every function of one’s life. This paper will describe how personal history and emotion act as sources of motivation, explain the relationship between motivation and behavior, and clarify how motivation is exhibited in behavior. History Personal history in regards to motivation includes the environment and individuals in which a person is raised.
Looking at motivation as a theoretical framework to promote a positive workforce can assist businesses in meeting the challenges faced today. The purpose of this paper is to analyze various need theories of motivation and how they affect organizational behavioral. This will include Maslow’s Need Hierarchy Theory of Motivation, McClelland’s Need Theory, and Herzberg's two-factor theory. Motivation can be defined as the “psychological processes that arouse and direct goal-directed behavior” (Organizational Dynamics and Human Behavior, CMU pg. 112).
Starting with the origin of the institutions, rational choice institutionalists use the deduction method to arrive at functions that an institution performs. They explain the existence of the institution by referencing to the value that those function have for the actors affected by the institution. This formulation assumes that the actors create the institutions in order to realize this value in terms of gains of cooperation. Rational choice writers argue that institutions are constructed by individual actors for rational purposes and that individual actor engages in changing and shaping institutional environments to suit their goals. Within the rational choice tradition they set two standard ways to think about institutions.
RIT1 Behavioral Influences: The Expectancy Theory of Motivation Expectancy Theory of Motivation Behavioral Influences The Expectancy Theory of Motivation (Porter & Lawler, 1968; Vroom, 1964) is a model of behavioral choice or cognitive process for explaining an individual’s decision-making process. It focuses on how decisions are made to achieve the desired result rather than providing specific suggestions on what motivates individuals. The expectancy theory has some useful implications for motivating employees. It identifies several important things to motivate employees by influencing the person’s effort-to-performance expectancy, performance-to-reward expectancy, and reward value or personal goals valence. The expectancy theory has three key components: expectancy or effort, instrumentality or performance, and valence or reward.
