Subtitles of the Movie

In this movie we'll continue on with a review of our Workbook Exercises pertaining to the General Management Skills Section. Let's pick up with question 16. Question 16 says: Match the motivational theory to its corresponding description and write in the theorist connected to the theory after the description. Number 1 is C Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, which states that people must first meet a basic set of needs before reaching for higher achievement. The theorist connected to this theory is Abraham Maslow. Number 2 is B MacGregor's Theory of X and Y. This theory states that there are two different types of attitudes towards work. One believes that employees are inherently lazy and avoid work whenever possible, and the other believes that employees may be ambitious, self-motivated or empowered, and anxious to take on greater responsibility. This was developed by Douglas MacGregor. Number 3 is D Herzberg's Theory of Motivation. This theory states that there are multiple job motivating factors and hygiene factors that affects people's attitudes at work. This theory was developed by Frederick Herzberg. And the last one, 4, is A the Expectancy Theory, and this theory states that employees who believe that putting in more effort will lead to better performance, that this better performance will lead to rewards, and that the rewards are valued by them individually, will continue to be productive. This theory was developed by Victor Vroom. Moving on to Question 17: Name at least two hygiene factors and two motivators included within Herzberg's Theory of Motivation. There were five hygiene factors mentioned, so I'll review those. These include: Working conditions; Safety; Salary; Job Security; and Supervision. And there were also five motivators, which include: Recognition, Responsibility, Work Challenges, Achievement and Personal Growth. Question 18: What assumption does the Expectancy Theory make? And the assumption is that behavior is based on conscious choices. Question 19 says: Match the management profile characteristics listed as belonging to Theory X or Theory Y managers. And this is referring to MacGregor's Theory of X and Y. Number 1 is a Theory Y manager, where employees require freedom to utilize their abilities. Number 2 is a Theory X manager employees are inherently lazy. Number 3 is a Theory X employees avoid work whenever possible. Number 4 is a Theory Y manager where employees are ambitious. Number 5 is a Theory X manager where employees must be closely managed and supervised. Number 6 is a Theory Y manager employees motivate themselves. Number 7 is a Theory X where employees need a very big incentive plan. Number 8 is a Theory X manager believes employees are typically to blame for issues. Number 9 is Theory Y employees should not be restricted by many rules. Number 10 is a Theory Y manager removes barriers that restrict employees. Number 11, Theory X manager interests of employees revolve around money. And number 12, Theory Y manager employees are anxious to take on greater responsibility. And Question 20, our final question for review: Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs theory includes a pyramid. For each of the levels within the pyramid write in the corresponding name. The first level are the Basic Physiological Needs. This includes things like food, shelter, water, breathing, and sleeping. Next is Safety, which includes the security of health, property, employment, resources and morality. The third is Love and Belonging, which includes things like friendship, family, and sexual intimacy. Number 4 is Esteem, for example, self esteem, confidence, respect, and achievement, and the top level is self actualization, which includes morality, problem solving, acceptance of facts, creativity, and lack of prejudice. And that covers all the Workbook Exercises within this Section. There were several theories and items to cover and I hope you had an opportunity to go through the exercises before watching the review movies. I encourage you to come back to these exercises often to test your knowledge. That concludes this movie and also this Section.
