Leakes is seen in a clip arguing with her co-star Kim Zolciak during a taping of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” (Reference clip 1). The general public may wonder how this woman can be so easily angered as well as use verbal threats of physical harm to another. Yet in this photo of her on the red carpet at the 2012 Golden Globes Red Carpet she seems so poised and elegant as if she would not engage in public behavior as such (attached photo).

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this essay is to discuss in detail a popular content and process theory namely Maslow's hierarchy theory and the process theory of Porter Lawlor Expectancy Theory and to explain the contrast of the two and how these theories might help to motivate people in a workplace. Content theories address the question of what motivates people. These seek to identify the needs which cause individuals to perform in a certain way. Process theories address the question of how certain actions are determined. These concentrate on the thought process, (cognitive process) which individuals undergo before they are motivated to act in a certain way.
The motivators are typically related to intrinsic factors meaning work motivation coming from within a human being. These include: a sense of achievement, recognition, responsibility and opportunity for personal growth and advancement. The two-factor theory suggests that the intrinsic rewards will more likely motivate individuals rather than the possibility of extrinsic rewards, meaning the hygiene factors, such as salary enhancement, security or improved working conditions.

An organization that fully comprehends the definitions of productive and counterproductive behavior and the influence each has on an organization should recognize the importance in implementing suggested strategies.
