Content: Different theories can highlight various components that become instrumental in understanding why a person acts, behaves, or does certain things he or she does. What Are the Different Theories of Motivation? Some of the theories of motivation include Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory, Expectancy Theory, Three-Dimensional Theory of Attribution, and the Hawthorne Effect. We already discussed Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs in short, and Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory differs in that it focuses on motivator factors and hygiene factors. Motivator factors are those that can lead to satisfaction, either internally or externally. Hygiene factors can lead to dissatisfaction, including poor salary, poor working conditions, relationship problems, and more. We also touched on Expectancy Theory briefly, but the Three-Dimensional Theory of Attribution focuses on how a person attributes success or a lack of success to various components or factors in their life, which can impact motivation moving forward. The Hawthorne Effect looks at how changes can affect a person’s motivational foundation. See: Motivational Theory
