78. What are the differences between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation?
ANSWER: Intrinsic motivation is behavior that an individual produces because of the pleasant
experiences associated with the behavior itself. This may come from a feeling of
accomplishment or meeting challenges. Intrinsic factors are inherent in the job itself.
Extrinsic motivation is behavior performed not for its own sake, but for the consequences
associated with it. The consequences can include pay, benefits, job security, and working
conditions. This type of motivation comes not from the job itself but rather from indirect
factors.

80. Describe how Herzberg’s dissatisfiers and motivators relate to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.
ANSWER: Motivators are factors, such as responsibility, challenge, and sense of accomplishment, that
have an uplifting effect on attitudes or performance. They are intrinsic to the job. Hygiene
factors are those factors that can prevent serious dissatisfaction or a drop in productivity,
thereby preventing loss of morale or efficiency, but they cannot motivate by themselves.
They are extrinsic to the job and include money, security, and working conditions.
Herzberg’s dissatisfiers are related to the lower level needs on Maslow’s hierarchy, while
motivators are located on the higher levels of Maslow’s hierarchy.

82. How can a supervisor use the goal-setting theory to motivate employees?

(3) ensure timely feedback to employees about goal achievement; (4) strengthen employee
commitment by allowing them to participate in goal setting; (5) make sure employees
understand priorities; and (6) reinforce goal accomplishment.

83. Equity theory involves two factors. What are these factors and how are they related?
ANSWER: Two factors determine whether one is in an equitable situation. One is the inputs (skill,
education, experience, and motivation) that an employee brings to the job situation. The
second is the rewards that a person receives for performance (pay, advancement, recognition,
or desirable job assignments.) If an employee perceives an inequity between these factors, he
or she would likely try to reduce the inequity.
(1) Try to increase his or her reward level.
(2) Decrease his or her input level.
If unable to restore equity in the present job, he or she can leave the situation.
Employees must feel that rewards are equitably distributed; otherwise, they
will be motivated to reduce the inequity.

84. How can a supervisor use reinforcement theory to influence employee behavior?
ANSWER: The reinforcement theory is based on the law of effect, which holds that those activities that
meet with pleasurable consequences tend to be repeated, whereas those activities that meet
with unpleasurable consequences tend not to be repeated. The reinforcement theory of
motivation is one of the best ways to influence and modify employees' behaviors, by
rewarding favorable activities and punishing unfavorable ones.
Since the supervisor has control of the reward-and-discipline system, he or she controls the
reins of the law of effect. The supervisor can:
(1) Positively reinforce favorable behavior through praise and reward.
(2) Discourage unfavorable behavior through punishment.
