Motivating Employees To Overcome Marginal And Unsatisfactory Performance: Academic Preachments And Practical Considerations, William P. Baker

All Master's Theses

Research related to five theories of motivation is examined in a search for solutions to managing marginal or unsatisfactory employees. The study reconciles practical truth and theory, and suggests ways by which the manager can cope with the problem of marginal performance. "Maintenance-Motivation" theory and "Psychological Advantage" theory when coupled with the "Systems Management" approach merit consideration when dealing with employee motivation.
