Motivational Theories

How can you get the best out of yourself and maintain this over a period of time? Motivational theory continues to develop as more is learnt about the human psyche; however, the basis for the subject is based on some key workers in this field including Maslow and Herzberg who each devised a model for motivation, as well as Salancik whose work has additional relevance to modern workplaces. A range of other motivation theories exist, however, these ones can provide the necessary foundation on which to identify how best, to potentially, get the most out of a work situation and to sustain this over time.
