MOTIVATION
INTRODUCTION
Sometimes we are motivated enough to embark on a 30 minute expedition to Dairy Queen for our favourite ice cream, but yet really want to engage in a 30 minute workout and fail to do so. We want both of these things, so why do we find the time to do one and not the other? How can we train ourselves and others to make different decisions, and create desire strong enough to materialize into action? These are the questions we hope to answer in this presentation and we hope you will come away with the ability to inspire both yourself and others.

“Leadership is, by definition, involving
and motivating other people as well as oneself. Leader
competence is about inspiring others to
perform at high levels by solving problems
and seizing opportunities.”
(Bateman, 2011, 71)

WHAT IS MOTIVATION?
According to DuBrin (2011)
A “concept with two widely used meanings: (1) an internal state that leads to effort expended toward objectives and (2) an activity performed by one person to get another to accomplish work” (p. 346).
According to Sandri (2011)
“Motivation often is described in terms of direction (the choice of one activity over another), intensity (how hard an employee tries) and persistence (how long an employee continues with a behavior, even in the face of obstacles or adverse circumstances)” (p. 45).

WHAT DRIVES USIt’s 3am, a college student has an exam in the morning and she’s binge drinking coffee just to stay awake to accomplish a few more hours of studying.
• What drives her to choose studying over sleep?• Why is studying more important than sleep?• Why didn’t she spend more time studying earlier?
Motives can often be quite complex, but understanding our fundamental drives can help us understand both ourselves and others, and using this knowledge can help us steer motivations in the right direction.

WHAT DRIVES US?Types of Motivation - Deci & Ryan, 2000
These levels of motivation are listed in order of their perceived locus of causality from external to internal. For many important things we often strive to nurture intrinsic motivation, but this type of motivation by definition is created by the subject and not by external influences.
Amotivation
• “I don’t want to do this”
External Regulation
• “Someone will reward/punish me for doing/not doing this, so I want to”
Introjection • “Someone will praise me for this, so I want to do it”
Identification • “I want to do it because it is valuable for me to do”
Integration• “I want to do it because it is part of how I define
myself”
Intrinsic Motivation
• “I do it because I enjoy it”
Extrinsic Motivation
All motivation is not equal. As you read through this slide think about the two
examples outlined so far: ice cream versus a workout, and sleep versus studying. Which type of motivation would each choice fall
under?
Table of Contents
Physiological Need• Bodily needs
Safety Need• Physical safety
and feeling safe from physical and emotional harm
Love/ Belonging Needs• Needs related
to one’s interactions with others
Esteem Need• One’s need to
be viewed by others as someone with self worth
Self-Actualization Need• Self-fulfillment
and personal development needs
WHAT DRIVES USMaslow’s Hierarchy of Needs – Maslow, 1943
People will satisfy these needs in the order of this diagram. Once each need is generally satisfied we move on to satisfy the next.

WHAT DRIVES USExpectancy Theory – Vroom, 1964
Effort
if you put in effort…
Goal
you can achieve your
goal…
Reward
and then you will be
rewarded.
This is the belief that…
But sometimes we don’t put in the effort. Let’s think
about why we would do that.
Maybe we don’t feel that we
can/will achieve the goal…
or maybe we don’t feel we will be rewarded for achieving the
goal…
or maybe we just don’t
appreciate the end reward
enough.

•We’ve now looked at what drives us to do the things we do.
• In this next section we will be looking at how we can apply these concepts to consciously drive our own and others’ motives.
MOTIVATION INFLUENCERS
Table of Contents
MOTIVATION INFLUENCERSFirst let’s decide what type of motivation we want to influence…
Amotivation
• “I don’t want to do this”
External Regulation
• “Someone will reward/punish me for doing/not doing this, so I want to”
Introjection • “Someone will praise me for this, so I want to do it”
Identification • “I want to do it because it is valuable for me to do”
Integration• “I want to do it because it is part of how I define
myself”
Intrinsic Motivation
• “I do it because I enjoy it”
Extrinsic Motivation
Because we know that we want to extrinsically motivate, we can cut down our choices…
External Regulation
• “Someone will reward/punish me for doing/not doing this, so I want to”
Introjection• “Someone will praise me for this, so I
want to do it”
Identification• “I want to do it because it is valuable
for me to do”
Integration• “I want to do it because it is part of how
I define myself”

In the next slides we will be discussing strategies for building motivation.
As you read through, think about which types of motivation are being harnessed.
MOTIVATION INFLUENCERSAppeal to one’s motives
• Providing salary or wages• A comfortable work environment• Free food• Allowing and recognizing work-life
balance
• Providing wages and salaries that allow employees to provide safe home and food
• Health and disability benefits for employees and their family
• Retirement plans• Employee assistance programs
• Building good teams• Relationship building and social
supports• Company bbqs, retreats, clubs,
mentoring programs, break rooms.
• Recognition and praise• Provide business cards• Create societies or prestige clubs
for employees• Titles, promotions, opportunities for
advancement• Personal parking spaces• Employee of the month• Career development• Community recognition
• Tuition reimbursement programs• Paid sabbaticals for humanitarian
cause or lifelong goal• Create partnerships with nonprofit
organizations• Match employees donations to

1 - Link effort to achieving goals
• Train and develop others via workshops, case studies, and challenges that stretch people, both on and off the job.
• People enjoy the feeling of competence in the things that they do, especially when these things are perceived to be more difficult.
Develop competence (Bateman, 2011)
• Take inventory of personal assets and accomplishments• Develop competence• Use positive self-talk and avoid negative self-talk• Use positive visual imagery• Set high expectations for yourself and strive for peak performance• Bounce back from setbacks and embarrassments
Build confidence and self-efficacy (Dubrin, 2011)
• Working at the optimum level of difficulty facilitates the most motivation. Things too easy are boring, and things to hard are discouraging.
Set appropriate goals (Deci & Ryan, 1985; Spinath & Steinmayr, 2008)
2 - Link goals to a reward
• Rewards don’t need to be tangible.• Communicate to others that something is important for them
to know because it will be useful for them in some meaningful way.
Instrumentality belief (Kover & Worrell, 2010)
• Ensure rewards are given for the intended level of performance.
• Use team rewards for interdependent jobs.• Watch out for unintended consequences. Make sure your
rewards are not promoting bad practices.
Improve reward effectiveness (Pierce, Cameron, Banko, & So, 2003; McShane, 2004)
3 - Ensure the reward is worth the effort
• Know who you are assigning goals and rewards for, and ensure that these are relevant to that/those person/people.
Relevance (Pierce, Cameron, Banko, & So, 2003; McShane, 2004)
• Value is equivalent to the perceived reward subtracted by the perceived effort.
• Always ensure the equation comes out positive by understanding perceptions.
Value (McShane, 2004; Vroom, 1964)
To summarize, when setting goals and rewards always remember to…
• Modeling
• Modeling this type of competence yourself and clarifying the boundaries—strategic, ethical, cultural, and perhaps others—over which people should not stray.
• Empowerment
• Allow those we work with to share the power with the us (i.e. participate in decision making).
• Job Design and Interesting Work
• Although this is intrinsic, we can make the job challenging enough and interesting enough, sometimes even having them take on jobs that they may not normally do to gain a different perspective.
• Positive Reinforcement
• Provide reinforcers that promote the behavior that you want from employees.. These must be appropriate rewards and may come in the form of money, promotion or recognition in some form. It’s important to check culture differences when recognition is given.
ADDITIONAL STRATEGIES
DuBrin (2011): Bateman (2011):
DuBrin and Bateman
Table of Contents
• Build on Others’ Strengths
• Have them continue to build on what they are already doing well and have them continue to improve in that area.
• Be a Heartlifter
• Give compliments and support.
• Start in the Right Place
• Instead of harping on their weaknesses to motivate them start with their strengths.
• Discover People’s Strengths
• What do people believe they are capable of, what is their ‘destiny’.
• Keep Listening
• Celebrate Failure
• Cheerfully fess up when you don't succeed. People will intuitively realize you have compassion and will ask for your opinions.
• Be Persistent
• Dogged determination despite setbacks is always inspiring. When you get up early to work out no matter how tired you are, your loved ones will realize nothing has to hold them back, either.
• Give to Others
• Research shows that women who volunteer are happier. When your friends and family see you being generous with others, they'll want that positive perk for themselves.
• Be Humble
• Thank those who helped you succeed and you'll experience the "It's a Wonderful Life" phenomenon: When people realize their behavior actually affects you, they'll want to keep it up.

REFLECTION• With these all these strategies in mind think about the
following questions.
• How can we motivate ourselves to commit to an exercise regime?
• How can we motivate students to not leave things to the last minute?
• How can we motivate employees and peers to work together to efficiently and effectively complete a project?
