Legitimate & Reward Power Generates compliance (you get satisfactory behaviors) Expert & Referent Power Generates Commitment (Workers go the extra mile) LIFE-CYCLE/MATURITY THEORY (HERSHEY & BLANCHARD, 1977) Leader behaviors need to vary, depending on the maturity of the individual Types of Leader behaviors Directive Gives clear direction and instruction to immature employees Coaching Expands two way communication: helps build confidence/motivation Supporting Employee now feels confident: active two way communication still needed for shared decisions Delegating responsibility for planning and decision making is given to highly mature employees PATH-GOAL THEORY OF LEADERSHIP (HOUSE & MITCHELL, 1974) Situational Factors Characteristics of employees perceived ability, N ACH, Locus of control, etc Characteristics of the environment Task structure, organizational controls, work group, etc. Leadership styles Directive Supportive Achievement Oriented Participative IMPACT OF PERSONAL DIFFERENCES ON HRM Individual skills & abilities Personality Expectations & aspirations MOTIVATION equity theory expectancy theory reinforcement theory EQUITY THEORY (ADAMS, 1965) I compare my outcomes (Om) with my perception of what others outcomes are (Oo). I also compare my work inputs (Im) with what I think others are contributing to their jobs (Io). If the relative ratio of my outcomes/inputs (Om/Im) is similar to the perceived outcomes/inputs (Oo/Io) of others at work, EQUITY exists and the organization is perceived to be fair. Om/Im=Oo/Io I feel fairly treated (content) POSITIVE & NEGATIVE INEQUITY If I believe that my outcomes/inputs ratio is more generous than the outcome/input ratio of others, I feel guilty and over-rewarded. This is POSITIVE INEQUITY, and this perception may or may not motivate one to action.

Om/Im > Oo/Io I feel over-rewarded (Guilty) If I think my outcomes/inputs ratio is less than the outcome/input ratio of others, I feel frustrated and under-rewarded. This is NEGATIVE INEQUITY, and this perception usually motivates one to act to resolve this unfair situation. Om/Im <Oo/Io I feel under-rewarded (FRUSTRATED) LIKELY RESPONSES WHEN INEQUITY IS PERCEIVED Change my outcomes Change my inputs Reconsider the perceived ratios Change others inputs &/or Outcomes Change comparison other Leave the organization or withdraw EXPECTANCY-VALENCE THEORY (THREE PERCEPTIONS) EXPECTANCY (E P) If I put forth effort (E), what is the probability that I can achieve the performance objective (P)? INSTRUMENTALITY (P O) If I achieve the performance objective (P), what is the probability that a specific outcome (O) or reward will be given to me? VALENCE (V) How much value (positive or negative) do I attach to receiving this outcome? MOTIVATION (EFFORT) (E P) x sum of [(P O)i(V)i] REINFORCEMENT THEORY (SKINNER, 1972) Assumptions: The consequences of past actions will influence our future actions We repeat behaviors which lead to rewards and are satisfying We reduce behaviors which go unrewarded or lead to punishment Thus, we tie valued rewards to desired behaviors in the workplace Types of Reinforcement Positive Avoidance (Negative) Extinction Punishment SCHEDULES OF REINFORCEMENT Continuous (Everytime) Intermittent (not Every time) Fixed-ratio Fixed-Interval Variable-Ratio Variable-Interval ____________________________________________________END OF PRESENTATION
