PSY 180 - Work Motivation: Theory and Applications
Once a year
Examination of modern developments in motivational psychology as they
pertain to individual behavior in organizational settings and their
practical applications. Four approaches are examined. The first
approach focuses upon need-motive-value strategies such as need
fulfillment theories, intrinsic motivation and equity/justice theories.
The second approach attends to expectancy-value formulations of
behavior with attention directed toward VIE theory. A third approach
involves an examination of the self-regulation-cognitive approach
embodied in goal setting theory. The final theoretical perspective
involves an analysis of the behavioral (operant) and social learning
views of work motivation. The course focuses on the practical
implications of motivational theory, with an emphasis upon job
satisfaction, work design and reward systems.
