Motivation affects the strength of behaviors, persistence of behaviors, and direction of behavior. Motivation changes over time as conditions inside the body and in the external environment change. Motivation is very closely linked to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.indiana.edu\/~p1013447\/dictionary\/reinf.htm\">reinforcement. <\/a>A high level of motivation for something will make it easy to use it as a reinforce.

These factors are the reasons one has for behaving a certain way<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Definition of motivation<\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The term \u2018motivation\u2019 has been derived from the word \u2018motive\u2019. Motive may be defined as an inner state of our mind that activates and directs our behaviour. It makes us move to act. It is always internal to us and is externalized via our behaviour. Motivation is one\u2019s willingness to exert efforts towards the accomplishment of his\/her goal. According to Fred Luthans motivation is a \u201cprocess that starts with a physiological or psychological deficiency or need that activates\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 1em;text-align: initial\">behaviour or a drive that is aimed at a goal or incentive\u201d. Stephen P. Robbins states \u201cmotivation is the willingness to exert high levels of efforts toward organizational goals, conditioned by the effort ability to satisfy some individual need\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Importance of motivation<\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">1.The motivated employees are more productive and quality- conscious than apathetic ones.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">2. Motivation as a pervasive concept affects and is also affected by a host of factors in the organization.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">3. Organizational effectiveness becomes, to some ability to motivate its employees. Hence, an managers how to motivate their employees.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">extent, the question of management\u2019s appreciation of motivation helps the<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">4.Motivation helps organizations to have employees with required capability and willingness to use the advanced complex technology to achieve the organizational goal.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">5. With the realization that organizations will run in more complex milieu in future, an increasing attention has been given to develop employees as future resources. Motivation makes the managers to draw upon them as and when organizations grow and develop.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Theories of Motivation<\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Maslow's Hierarcy of Needs Theory<\/strong>: The Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Theory proposed that people have five different sets of needs: physiological needs, safety needs, love and belonging needs, esteem needs, and needs for self-actualization (Ormrod, 2008). Abraham Maslow's theory has a central feature of humanism and the basic need of Maslow\u2019s Theory is the basis for motivation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Maslow\u2019s theory found obvious applications in business settings. Understanding what people need gives us clues to understanding them. The hierarchy is a systematic way of thinking about the different needs employees may have at any given point and explains different reactions they may have to similar treatment. An employee who is trying to satisfy esteem needs may feel gratified when her supervisor praises an accomplishment. However, another employee who is trying to satisfy social needs may resent being praised by upper management in front of peers if the praise sets the individual apart from the rest of the group. Finally, self-actualization needs may be satisfied by the provision of development and growth opportunities on or off the job, as well as by work that is interesting and challenging. By making the effort to satisfy the different needs of each employee, organizations may ensure a highly motivated workforce.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Achievement-Motivation Theory<\/strong>: Achievement-Motivation Theory was developed by Atkinson, McClelland, and Veroff and focuses on aspects of personality characteristics and proposes three forms of motivation or needs in work situations (McEwen, 2007). The three forms of motivation of the Achievement-Motivation Theory are achievement, power, and affiliation. The Achievement-Motivation Theory's central idea deals with the managerial success and motivation of a person.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Herzberg's Theory of Motivation and Hygiene Factor<\/strong>: According to Frederick Herzberg's two-factor theory, some factors can lead to learning and satisfaction, while others do not in spite of resulting in dissatisfaction if they are absent altogether (What is Motivation, n.d.). Herzberg was primarily concerned with the people's well-being at work. Underpinning his theories and academic teachings, he was basically attempting to bring more humanity and caring into the workplace (BusinessBalls.com, 2010). According to BusinessBalls.com (2010), examples of Herzberg's 'hygiene' needs (or maintenance factors) in the workplace are: Policy, relationship with supervisor, work\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 1em;text-align: initial\">conditions,salary, company car, status, security relationship with subordinates, personal life.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Herzberg's research identified that true motivators were other completely different factors, notably: achievement, recognition, work itself, responsibility and advancement (BusinessBalls.com, 2010). Herzberg's underlying concept was to increase motivation at work.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Approaches to motivation<\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Motivation is the label we give to processes that energize (active) and direct behavior toward particular goals. Motivation affects the strength of behaviours, persistence of behavior and direction of behavior (direction = choosing which behavior to make)Motivation changes over time as conditions inside the body and in the external environment change, With these changes, behavior changes.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Motivation is very closely linked to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.indiana.edu\/~p1013447\/dictionary\/reinf.htm\"><strong>reinforcement<\/strong>. <\/a>A high level of motivation for something (food, social power, cigarettes, etc.) will make it easy to use it as a reinforcer. For example, a hungry pigeon will work very hard to get a bite of food, and smokers will expend a lot of effort to get cigarettes). This feature of motivation is the basis of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.indiana.edu\/~p1013447\/dictionary\/ReinfThe.htm\">Premack's (1959, 1965)<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.indiana.edu\/~p1013447\/dictionary\/ReinfThe.htm\">and Allison and Timberlake's (1974) models of reinforcement.<\/a><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Motivation determines what will work as reinforcement. The more attractive something appears (motivation), the more likely someone will do something to get some (reinforcement). In fact, some psychologists claim that the only thing motivation does is to establish the conditions for reinforcement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Different Approaches to Motivation<\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Traditional Approach<\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Frederick W. Taylor's work was best represented by the traditional approach. His ideas were centered around the thought that everyone was primarily motivated by economic gain. He also believed that managers knew more about the jobs being performed than the who performed these jobs did.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Human Relations Approach<\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Unlike the traditional approach the human relations approach is focused on the social environment of a company. It focuses on the role of the social processes and relationships. The human relations approach understands that employees have strong social needs and that economic gain can't always fill that gap. This approach is more concerned with the employees well being at work than the financial compensation the employees get for working.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Human Resource Approach<\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The human relations approach tells us that employees want to contribute and make real contributions to something. Human religionists will tell you that the illusion of contribution and participation is enough to motivate employees. However, some employees need more than just an illusion of contribution and participation, but instead need to be actively involved in decision making and feel like they truly are contributing to the group. Managers need to figure out how to use all their human resources and encourage employees to participate. A way that managers can also make employees feel more involved is to create work teams that collaborate and make decisions.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Elements of motivation<\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Educators can apply motivational theory to actively engage students in the learning process. Motivation is the impetus or force that drives human behavior. different theories and models of motivation describes how motivations directly and indirectly influence thoughts and actions. Many psychologists and behavior analyst use a three \u2013 part model, which closely examines motivation in terms of direction, intensity and persistence<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Intrinsic and Extrinsic Factors<\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Intrinsic and extrinsic factors influence motivation. Intrinsic factors are the internal forces that motivate or compel an individual, and extrinsic factors are the external forces. For instance, employers use extrinsic factors, such as bonuses or promotions, to motivate employees to perform well on the job. At the same time, the individual may also be motivated by intrinsic factors, such as an inner drive to succeed. Intrinsic factors include physical, mental, emotional and spiritual needs and desires.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Direction<\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Direction is simply the goal that spurs the individual to action. A goal is actively chosen among a set of alternatives, whether the individual realizes it or not. The goal is determined by different influences, including extrinsic and intrinsic factors, which may contradict each other. For instance, an individual may have a natural inclination for introspection, but be motivated towards a highly social lifestyle for career advancement or social status.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Intensity<\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Intensity is the strength of the response in the chosen direction. Typically, there\u2019s a close relationship between intensity and the expectation of a desired outcome. Intensity, or motivational force, depends on the individual's perception of the likelihood that effort will yield a certain result. This is true whether or not perception is realistic. For instance, if an individual believes a raise is imminent it can be a motivator to pursue the goal with vigor, perhaps by staying late at work and increasing output.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Persistence<\/strong><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Persistence is the duration with which a person expends energy and effort towards the direction or goal. The sustenance of behavior is influenced by extrinsic and intrinsic factors. The factors that initially energized or initiated behavior may not necessarily be the same factors that sustain behavior and provide for persistence. For example, a student may be initially motivated to earn good grades in school to receive an allowance at home. Over time, extrinsic motivation\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 1em;text-align: initial\">may be supplemented or replaced by intrinsic motivation if the student discovers that learning is fun and personally satisfying<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>IMPORTANCE OF ORGANISATION<\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">1.\u00a0<strong>Facilitates Administration<\/strong>: An efficient and sound organization make easy for the management to relate the flow of resource continually to the overall objectives. A sound organization helps in providing appropriate platform where management can performs the functions of\u00a0 \u00a0planning,\u00a0 direction,\u00a0 \u00a0coordination,\u00a0 motivation\u00a0 \u00a0 and\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0control.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">2.<strong>Facilitates Growth and Diversification<\/strong>: A sound organization helps in the growth and diversification of activities. The growth is facilitated by clear division of work, proper delegation of authority etc. In short, it helps in the organizational elaboration. In case of reasonable expansion of organization, the functional types get replaced by a more flexible decentralized organization.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">3.<strong>Permits optimum use of Resources<\/strong>: The optimum use of technical and human resources gets facilitated in sound and efficient organization. The organization can have the facilities of latest technological developments and improvements. It also facilitates optimum use of human resources through specialization. The people in the organization get appropriately trained and get promotion opportunities. A sound organization provides all the desired potential and strength to the\u00a0 company\u00a0 to meet the\u00a0 \u00a0future\u00a0 challenges.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">4<strong>.Stimulate Creativity<\/strong>: The specialization in the organization helps individuals in getting well defined duties, clear lines of authority and responsibility. It encourages the creativity of the people. The sound organisational structure enables mangers to concentrate on important issues where\u00a0 \u00a0their\u00a0 talent can\u00a0 be\u00a0 exploited to the\u00a0 \u00a0maximum.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">5.<strong>Encourages\u00a0 Humanistic\u00a0 Approach<\/strong>:\u00a0 A\u00a0 sound\u00a0 organisation\u00a0 helps\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 in\u00a0 adopting\u00a0 efficient\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 1em;text-align: initial\">methods of selection, training, remuneration and promotion for employees. It makes people work in a team and not like machines or robots. Organisation helps in providing factors like job rotation, job enlargement and enrichment to its employees. A sound organisation provides higher job satisfaction to its employees through proper delegation and decentralization, favorable working environment and democratic and participative leadership. It enhances the mode of communication and interaction among different levels of the management.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>THEORIES OF ORGANISATION<\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Classical Organization Theory:<\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The classical writers viewed organisation as a machine and human beings as components of that machine. They were of the view that efficiency of the organisation can be increased by making human beings efficient. Their emphasis was on specialisation and co-ordination of activities. Most of the writers gave emphasis on efficiency at the top level and few at lower levels of organisation. That is why this theory has given streams; scientific management and administrative management. The scientific management group was mainly concerned with the tasks to be performed at operative levels.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Henry Fayol studied for the first time the principles and functions of management. Some authors like Gullick, Oliver Sheldon, Urwick viewed the problem where identification of activities is necessary for achieving organisation goals. Grouping or departmentation was also considered essential for making the functions effective. Since this theory revolves around structure it is also called \u2018structural theory of organisation.\u201d<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Pillars of Organisation Theory:<\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">According to classical writers, the organisation theory is built around four key pillars division of work, scalar and functional processes, structure and span of control.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>(i) Division of Labour:<\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Division of labour implies that work must be divided to obtain specialisation with a view to improve the performance of workers. The classical theory rests on the assumption that more a particular job is broken into its simplest component parts, the more specialised a worker can become in carrying out his part of the job.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>(ii) Scalar and Functional Process:<\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The scalar process refers to the growth of chain of command, delegation of authority, unity of command and obligation to report. It is called scalar process because it provides a scale or grading of duties according to the degree of authority and responsibility.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>(iii) Structure:<\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">It is the framework of formal relationships among various tasks, activities and people in the organization. The basic structural element in the classical theory is position.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>(iv) Span of Control:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The span of control means the number of subordinates a manager can control. Classical thinkers specified numbers at different levels which can be effectively supervised by a superior.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>2. Neo-Classical Organisation Theory:<\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The classical theory of organisation focused main attention on physiological and mechanical variables of organisational functioning. The testing of these variables did not show positive results..<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>New-classical approach is contained in two points:<\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">(i)\u00a0\u00a0 Organisational situation should be viewed in social, economic and technical terms, and<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">(ii)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The\u00a0 social\u00a0 process\u00a0 of\u00a0 group\u00a0 behaviour\u00a0 can\u00a0 be\u00a0 understood\u00a0 in\u00a0 terms\u00a0 of \u00a0clinical\u00a0 method analogous to the doctor\u2019s diagnosis of human organism.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">This theory views formal and informal forms of organisation as important. The behavioural approach followed in this theory is the other contribution of new-classical thinkers. The pillars of classical theory viz. division of work, departmentation, co-ordination and human behaviour were taken as given but these postulates were regarded as modified by people acting independently or within the context of the informal organisation.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>3. Modern Organisation Theory:<\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Modern organisation theory is of recent origin, having developed in early 1960\u2019s. This theory has tried to overcome the drawbacks of earlier theories. In the words of W.G. Scott, \u2018The distinctive qualities of modern organisation theory are its conceptual analytical base, its reliance on empirical research data and, above all, its integrating nature. These qualities are framed in a philosophy which accepts the premise that the only meaningful way to study organisation is to study it as a system.\u201d This theory may be understood in two approaches: systems approach and contingency approach.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong><em>Systems Approach:<\/em><\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">This approach studies the organisation in its totality. The mutually dependent variables are properly analysed. Both internal and external variables are studied in analysing the nature of organisation.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong><em>Contingency Approach:<\/em><\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Contingency approach suggests an organisational design which suits a particular unit. A structure will be suitable only if it is tailor made for an enterprise.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The influence of both internal and external factors should be considered while framing a suitable organisational structure. This approach suggests that needs, requirements, situations of a particular concern should be considered while designing an organisational structure.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\nAdministration theory\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The 14 principles that capture the essence of the administrative theory could be summarized as follows:<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Division of work<\/strong>: Division of work or specialization gives higher productivity because one can work at activities in which one is comparatively highly skilled.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Authority and responsibility<\/strong>: Authority is the right to give orders. An organisational member has responsibility to accomplish the organizational objectives of his position. Appropriate sanctions are required to encourage good and\u00a0 \u00a0to\u00a0 discourage\u00a0 poor\u00a0 performance.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Discipline: There <\/strong>must be respect for and obedience to the rules and objectives of the organisation.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Unity of command<\/strong>: To reduce confusion and conflicts each member should receive orders from and be responsible to only one superior.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Unity of direction<\/strong>: An organistion is effective when members work together toward the\u00a0 \u00a0same\u00a0 \u00a0objectives.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Subordination of individual interest to general interest: <\/strong>The interests of one employee or group of employees should not prevail over that of the organisation.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Remuneration\u00a0 of\u00a0 personnel\u00a0 <\/strong>:Pay\u00a0 should\u00a0 be\u00a0 fair\u00a0 and\u00a0 should\u00a0 reward\u00a0 good\u00a0<span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">performance,<\/span><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">decentralization.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Centralisation:\u00a0<\/strong>A\u00a0 good\u00a0 balance\u00a0 should\u00a0 be\u00a0 found\u00a0 between\u00a0 centralisation\u00a0 and\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 1em;text-align: initial\">decentralization.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Scalar chain<\/strong>: There is scalar chain or hierarchy dictated by the principle of unity of command linking all members of the organisation from the top to the bottom.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Order :<\/strong>There is a place for everything and everyone which ought to be so occupied.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Equity<\/strong>:Justice, largely based on predetermined conventions, should prevail in the organisation.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Stability of tenure of personnel<\/strong>: Time is required for an employee to get used to new work and succeed\u00a0 \u00a0in\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0doing\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0it\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0well.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Initiative<\/strong>: The freedom to think out and execute plans at all levels.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>ELEMENTS OF ORGANISATION<\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Six<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<strong>Key<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<strong>Elements<\/strong>\u00a0 <strong>in<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0<strong>Organizational<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Design<\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>O<\/strong>rganizational design is engaged when managers develop or change an organization's structure.

While these three models take different approaches to supervision, skilled and experienced managers can combine elements of each and to apply different models to varying workplace situations.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>The Hierarchy of Needs<\/strong><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The hierarchy of needs was proposed by Abraham Maslow to describe the personal and professional needs all humans innately strive toward. There are five levels of needs: physical, safety, social, self-esteem and self-actualization. The hierarchy helps business owners understand that employees progress through many levels of need fulfillment in the carrying out of their job roles. For some, having a job is a means of security; for others, it's about realizing a lifelong dream.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>APPROACHES TO SUPERVISION<\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">One-to-one supervision One-to-one supervision is widely used and the supervisor is usually the supervisee\u2019s line manager. Sessions are formally pre-arranged and take place in a confidential setting and protected place. Shared supervision Shared supervision allows teams to share responsibility for supervising individuals. Shared supervision is still conducted one-to-one but the supervisor in this case will not be the supervisee\u2019s line manager, instead he or she will be a practitioner who has skills and experience relevant to the supervisee\u2019s current projects or caseload and so is able to provide specifically relevant support and\/or mentoring. Group supervision Group supervision is usually facilitator led via a formal, pre-arranged process that is\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 1em;text-align: initial\">agreed by the supervisor and supervisees. The make-up of the group depends on the goals of the supervision.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Group supervision complements, rather than substitutes, individual supervision, though it may reduce how often you need one to-one supervision. Professional supervision Professional supervision is for professionally qualified workers in social services. Professional supervision supports supervisees to maintain professional identity, knowledge and meet their post registration training and learning requirements. This is just one way of considering different kinds of supervision. For example, many people might view supervision of all staff, qualified and unqualified, as a professional activity. And one-to-one supervision is the most common form of supervision for professionally qualified workers. In some settings, such as residential care, shift working creates challenges for staff supervision and a model of shared supervision may be used where two or more managers share the supervision of individual staff. In that situation workers will receive one-to-one supervision but not always with the same supervisor.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Some organizations may offer peer supervision or there may be opportunities to consult with an external supervisor as well as the supervision provided by a line manager. There are a variety of ways of structuring group supervision as well as the model described above. In particular, group supervision may benefit workers who are themselves engaged in group work and can use the supervision space to explore some of the dynamics and challenges they encounter in their practice. Depending on your role and your specific work setting you may have experience of different forms of supervision or you may only be familiar with one approach. If you want to learn more about other models you can read more about these in the section on supervision on the Step into Leadership website or the resources listed at the end of this resource.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Importance of Communication in an Organization: <\/strong>Effective<strong> Communication <\/strong>is significant for managers in the organizations so as to perform the basic functions of management, i.e., Planning, Organizing, Leading and Controlling. ... Organizing also requires effective <strong>communication<\/strong> with others about their job task.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>The importance of communication in an organization can be summarized as follows:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">1. Communication <strong>promotes <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.managementstudyguide.com\/importance_of_motivation.htm\"><strong>motivation <\/strong><\/a><strong>by informing and clarifying the employees about the task to be done, the manner they are performing the task, and how to improve their performance if it is not up to the mark.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">2.\u00a0 Communication is a <strong>source of information<\/strong> to the organizational members for decision-making process as it helps identifying and assessing alternative course of actions.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">3.Communication also plays a crucial role in <strong>altering individual\u2019s attitudes<\/strong>, i.e., a well informed individual will have better attitude than a less-informed individual. Organizational magazines, journals, meetings and various other forms of oral and written communication help in moulding employee\u2019s attitudes.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">4.Communication also <strong>helps in socializing<\/strong>. In today\u2019s life the only presence of another individual fosters communication. It is also said that one cannot survive without communication.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">5. As discussed earlier, communication also assists in <strong>controlling process<\/strong>. It helps controlling organizational member\u2019s behaviour in various ways. There are various levels of hierarchy and certain principles and guidelines that employees must follow in an organization. They must comply with organizational policies, perform their job role efficiently and communicate any work problem and grievance to their superiors. Thus, communication helps in controlling function of management.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">An effective and efficient communication system requires managerial proficiency in delivering and receiving messages. A manager must discover various <a href=\"http:\/\/www.managementstudyguide.com\/communication_barriers.htm\">barriers to<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.managementstudyguide.com\/communication_barriers.htm\">communication, <\/a>analyze the reasons for their occurrence and take preventive steps to avoid those barriers. Thus, the primary responsibility of a manager is to develop and maintain an effective communication system in the organization.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Good communication is an essential tool in achieving productivity and maintaining strong working relationships at all levels of an organisation.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u00a0 \u00a0 Employers who invest time and energy into delivering clear lines of communication will rapidly build trust amongst employees, leading to increases in productivity, output and morale in general.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Poor communication in the workplace will inevitably lead to unmotivated staff that may begin to question their own confidence in their abilities and inevitably in the organisation.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Take steps to build on communication<\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">With 40 years of recruitment experience we understand the value of good communication. Below, we\u2019ve outlined some of the key areas where organisations can improve and enhance their communications.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Define goals and expectations <\/strong>\u2013 Managers need to deliver clear, achievable goals to both teams and individuals, outlining exactly what is required on any given project, and ensuring that all staff are aware of the objectives of the project, the department and the organisation as a whole.<\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Clearly deliver your message <\/strong>\u2013 Ensure your message is clear and accessible to your intended audience. To do this it is essential that you speak plainly and politely \u2013 getting your message across clearly without causing confusion or offence.<\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Choose your medium carefully <\/strong>\u2013 Once you\u2019ve created your message you need to ensure it\u2019s delivered in the best possible format. While face to face communication is by far the best way to build trust with employees, it is not always an option. Take time to decide whether information delivered in a printed copy would work better than an email or if a general memo will suffice.<\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Keep everyone involved <\/strong>\u2013 Ensure that lines of communication are kept open at all times. Actively seek and encourage progress reports and project updates. This is particularly important when dealing with remote staff.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nElements of communication\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>(1) Sender:<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The person who intends to convey the message with the intention of passing information and ideas to others is known as sender or communicator.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong><em>(2) Ideas:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">This is the subject matter of the communication. This may be an opinion, attitude, feelings, views, orders, or suggestions.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong><em>(3) Encoding:<\/em><\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Since the subject matter of communication is theoretical and intangible, its further passing requires use of certain symbols such as words, actions or pictures etc. Conversion of subject matter into these symbols is the process of encoding.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong><em>(4) Communication Channel:<\/em><\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The person who is interested in communicating has to choose the channel for sending the required information, ideas etc. This information is transmitted to the receiver through certain channels which may be either formal or informal.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong><em>(5) Receiver:<\/em><\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Receiver is the person who receives the message or for whom the message is meant for. It is the receiver who tries to understand the message in the best possible manner in achieving the desired objectives.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong><em>(6) Decoding:<\/em><\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The person who receives the message or symbol from the communicator tries to convert the same in such a way so that he may extract its meaning to his complete understanding.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong><em>(7) Feedback:<\/em><\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Feedback is the process of ensuring that the receiver has received the message and understood in the same sense as sender meant it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Communication Theory<\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Communication theory was proposed by S. F. Scudder in the year 1980. It states that <strong>all<\/strong> <strong>living beings existing on the planet communicate <\/strong>although the way of communication is different.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Plants communicate their need to be taken care of and watered immediately through visible changes in the colour of the leaves, and the falling of leaves and flowers.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Animals communicate by sounds, several movements to indicate that they are hungry or unwell or need medical attention.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">A mother would never understand that her child is hungry unless and until the child cries. Crying is again a form through which the child communicates that he is hungry and needs food. The same applies when he is injured, where he uses crying again as a tool to communicate his pain and need of urgent medical attention.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Thus the universal law of communication theory says that all living beings whether they are plants, animals, human beings communicate through sound, speech, visible changes, body movements, gestures or in the best possible way to make the others aware of their thoughts, feelings, problems, happiness or any other information.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">If a child scores less marks in examinations, parents would not speak to the child for sometime-again an effort to communicate that the parents are angry over the child\u2019s performance and he needs to buck up for his further examinations. Try to irritate a stray dog, he will surely bark on you - again an animal\u2019s way to communicate that he is angry and should not be irritated further.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Like human beings, animals also communicate among themselves through gestures and body movements. Monkeys always carry their babies with them wherever they go, again a way through which the mother tries to communicate that their babies are safe and the mother is there to take good care of them. During the mating season of animals, communication through gestures\u00a0<span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">plays a very important role in bringing them close, the same way a peacock dances to attract its partner.<\/span><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">Another model of communication says that communication is simply the process of transferring information from the sender to the recipient where the recipient decodes the information and acts accordingly. Large number of people also support this model of communication.<\/span><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"font-size: 1em\">Communication <\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">can be categorized into three basic<\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 1em\"> types<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">: (1) verbal<\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 1em\">communication<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">, in which you listen to a person to understand their meaning; (2) written <\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 1em\">communication<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">, in which you read their meaning; and (3) nonverbal<\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 1em\">communication<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">, in which you observe a person and infer meaning.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Communication Theory Framework: <\/strong>Let us examine communication and communication theory through the following viewpoints:<\/p>\r\n\r\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\r\n \t<li><strong>Mechanistic - <\/strong>The mechanistic view point says that communication is simply the transmission of information from the first party to the second party. The first party being the sender and the second party being the receiver.<\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Psychological - <\/strong>According to the psychological view point, communication is simply not the flow of information from the sender to the receiver but actually the thoughts, feelings of the sender which he tries to share with the recepients. It also includes the reactions, feelings of the receiver after he decodes the information.<\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Social - <\/strong>The social view point considers communication as a result of interaction between the sender and the receiver. It simply says that communication is directly dependent on the content of the speech. \u201cHow one communicates\u201d is the basis of the social view point.<\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Systemic - <\/strong>The systemic view point says that communication is actually a new and a different message which is created when various individuals interpret it in their own way and then reinterpret it and draw their own conclusion.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Critical - <\/strong>The critical view point says that communication<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<table>\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>you can view video on IMPORTANCE, THEORIES, APPROACHES, ELEMENTS OF MOTIVATION, ORGANISATION, SUPERVISION AND COMMUNICATION<\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;<\/td>\r\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/P5bh2t9OmPI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-120\" src=\"http:\/\/epgpbooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/download.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"36\" height=\"36\" \/><\/a><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>References<\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Abbott, A.R., &amp; Sebastian, R.J. 1981 Physical attractiveness and expectations of success.

These factors are the reasons one has for behaving a certain way<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Definition of motivation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The term \u2018motivation\u2019 has been derived from the word \u2018motive\u2019. Motive may be defined as an inner state of our mind that activates and directs our behaviour. It makes us move to act. It is always internal to us and is externalized via our behaviour. Motivation is one\u2019s willingness to exert efforts towards the accomplishment of his\/her goal. According to Fred Luthans motivation is a \u201cprocess that starts with a physiological or psychological deficiency or need that activates\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 1em;text-align: initial\">behaviour or a drive that is aimed at a goal or incentive\u201d. Stephen P. Robbins states \u201cmotivation is the willingness to exert high levels of efforts toward organizational goals, conditioned by the effort ability to satisfy some individual need\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Importance of motivation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">1.The motivated employees are more productive and quality- conscious than apathetic ones.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">2.

With the realization that organizations will run in more complex milieu in future, an increasing attention has been given to develop employees as future resources. Motivation makes the managers to draw upon them as and when organizations grow and develop.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Theories of Motivation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Maslow&#8217;s Hierarcy of Needs Theory<\/strong>: The Maslow&#8217;s Hierarchy of Needs Theory proposed that people have five different sets of needs: physiological needs, safety needs, love and belonging needs, esteem needs, and needs for self-actualization (Ormrod, 2008). Abraham Maslow&#8217;s theory has a central feature of humanism and the basic need of Maslow\u2019s Theory is the basis for motivation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Maslow\u2019s theory found obvious applications in business settings. Understanding what people need gives us clues to understanding them. The hierarchy is a systematic way of thinking about the different needs employees may have at any given point and explains different reactions they may have to similar treatment. An employee who is trying to satisfy esteem needs may feel gratified when her supervisor praises an accomplishment. However, another employee who is trying to satisfy social needs may resent being praised by upper management in front of peers if the praise sets the individual apart from the rest of the group. Finally, self-actualization needs may be satisfied by the provision of development and growth opportunities on or off the job, as well as by work that is interesting and challenging. By making the effort to satisfy the different needs of each employee, organizations may ensure a highly motivated workforce.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Achievement-Motivation Theory<\/strong>: Achievement-Motivation Theory was developed by Atkinson, McClelland, and Veroff and focuses on aspects of personality characteristics and proposes three forms of motivation or needs in work situations (McEwen, 2007). The three forms of motivation of the Achievement-Motivation Theory are achievement, power, and affiliation. The Achievement-Motivation Theory&#8217;s central idea deals with the managerial success and motivation of a person.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Herzberg&#8217;s Theory of Motivation and Hygiene Factor<\/strong>: According to Frederick Herzberg&#8217;s two-factor theory, some factors can lead to learning and satisfaction, while others do not in spite of resulting in dissatisfaction if they are absent altogether (What is Motivation, n.d.). Herzberg was primarily concerned with the people&#8217;s well-being at work. Underpinning his theories and academic teachings, he was basically attempting to bring more humanity and caring into the workplace (BusinessBalls.com, 2010). According to BusinessBalls.com (2010), examples of Herzberg&#8217;s &#8216;hygiene&#8217; needs (or maintenance factors) in the workplace are: Policy, relationship with supervisor, work\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 1em;text-align: initial\">conditions,salary, company car, status, security relationship with subordinates, personal life.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Herzberg&#8217;s research identified that true motivators were other completely different factors, notably: achievement, recognition, work itself, responsibility and advancement (BusinessBalls.com, 2010). Herzberg&#8217;s underlying concept was to increase motivation at work.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Approaches to motivation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Motivation is the label we give to processes that energize (active) and direct behavior toward particular goals. Motivation affects the strength of behaviours, persistence of behavior and direction of behavior (direction = choosing which behavior to make)Motivation changes over time as conditions inside the body and in the external environment change, With these changes, behavior changes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Motivation is very closely linked to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.indiana.edu\/~p1013447\/dictionary\/reinf.htm\"><strong>reinforcement<\/strong>. <\/a>A high level of motivation for something (food, social power, cigarettes, etc.) will make it easy to use it as a reinforcer. For example, a hungry pigeon will work very hard to get a bite of food, and smokers will expend a lot of effort to get cigarettes). This feature of motivation is the basis of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.indiana.edu\/~p1013447\/dictionary\/ReinfThe.htm\">Premack&#8217;s (1959, 1965)<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.indiana.edu\/~p1013447\/dictionary\/ReinfThe.htm\">and Allison and Timberlake&#8217;s (1974) models of reinforcement.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Motivation determines what will work as reinforcement. The more attractive something appears (motivation), the more likely someone will do something to get some (reinforcement). In fact, some psychologists claim that the only thing motivation does is to establish the conditions for reinforcement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Different Approaches to Motivation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Traditional Approach<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Frederick W. Taylor&#8217;s work was best represented by the traditional approach. His ideas were centered around the thought that everyone was primarily motivated by economic gain. He also believed that managers knew more about the jobs being performed than the who performed these jobs did.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Human Relations Approach<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Unlike the traditional approach the human relations approach is focused on the social environment of a company. It focuses on the role of the social processes and relationships. The human relations approach understands that employees have strong social needs and that economic gain can&#8217;t always fill that gap. This approach is more concerned with the employees well being at work than the financial compensation the employees get for working.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Human Resource Approach<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The human relations approach tells us that employees want to contribute and make real contributions to something. Human religionists will tell you that the illusion of contribution and participation is enough to motivate employees. However, some employees need more than just an illusion of contribution and participation, but instead need to be actively involved in decision making and feel like they truly are contributing to the group. Managers need to figure out how to use all their human resources and encourage employees to participate. A way that managers can also make employees feel more involved is to create work teams that collaborate and make decisions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Elements of motivation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Educators can apply motivational theory to actively engage students in the learning process. Motivation is the impetus or force that drives human behavior. different theories and models of motivation describes how motivations directly and indirectly influence thoughts and actions. Many psychologists and behavior analyst use a three \u2013 part model, which closely examines motivation in terms of direction, intensity and persistence<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Intrinsic and Extrinsic Factors<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Intrinsic and extrinsic factors influence motivation. Intrinsic factors are the internal forces that motivate or compel an individual, and extrinsic factors are the external forces. For instance, employers use extrinsic factors, such as bonuses or promotions, to motivate employees to perform well on the job. At the same time, the individual may also be motivated by intrinsic factors, such as an inner drive to succeed. Intrinsic factors include physical, mental, emotional and spiritual needs and desires.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Direction<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Direction is simply the goal that spurs the individual to action. A goal is actively chosen among a set of alternatives, whether the individual realizes it or not. The goal is determined by different influences, including extrinsic and intrinsic factors, which may contradict each other. For instance, an individual may have a natural inclination for introspection, but be motivated towards a highly social lifestyle for career advancement or social status.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Intensity<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Intensity is the strength of the response in the chosen direction. Typically, there\u2019s a close relationship between intensity and the expectation of a desired outcome. Intensity, or motivational force, depends on the individual&#8217;s perception of the likelihood that effort will yield a certain result. This is true whether or not perception is realistic. For instance, if an individual believes a raise is imminent it can be a motivator to pursue the goal with vigor, perhaps by staying late at work and increasing output.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Persistence<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Persistence is the duration with which a person expends energy and effort towards the direction or goal. The sustenance of behavior is influenced by extrinsic and intrinsic factors. The factors that initially energized or initiated behavior may not necessarily be the same factors that sustain behavior and provide for persistence. For example, a student may be initially motivated to earn good grades in school to receive an allowance at home. Over time, extrinsic motivation\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 1em;text-align: initial\">may be supplemented or replaced by intrinsic motivation if the student discovers that learning is fun and personally satisfying<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>IMPORTANCE OF ORGANISATION<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">1.\u00a0<strong>Facilitates Administration<\/strong>: An efficient and sound organization make easy for the management to relate the flow of resource continually to the overall objectives.

The growth is facilitated by clear division of work, proper delegation of authority etc. In short, it helps in the organizational elaboration. In case of reasonable expansion of organization, the functional types get replaced by a more flexible decentralized organization.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">3.<strong>Permits optimum use of Resources<\/strong>: The optimum use of technical and human resources gets facilitated in sound and efficient organization. The organization can have the facilities of latest technological developments and improvements. It also facilitates optimum use of human resources through specialization. The people in the organization get appropriately trained and get promotion opportunities. A sound organization provides all the desired potential and strength to the\u00a0 company\u00a0 to meet the\u00a0 \u00a0future\u00a0 challenges.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">4<strong>.Stimulate Creativity<\/strong>: The specialization in the organization helps individuals in getting well defined duties, clear lines of authority and responsibility.

A sound organisation provides higher job satisfaction to its employees through proper delegation and decentralization, favorable working environment and democratic and participative leadership. It enhances the mode of communication and interaction among different levels of the management.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>THEORIES OF ORGANISATION<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Classical Organization Theory:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The classical writers viewed organisation as a machine and human beings as components of that machine. They were of the view that efficiency of the organisation can be increased by making human beings efficient. Their emphasis was on specialisation and co-ordination of activities. Most of the writers gave emphasis on efficiency at the top level and few at lower levels of organisation. That is why this theory has given streams; scientific management and administrative management. The scientific management group was mainly concerned with the tasks to be performed at operative levels.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Henry Fayol studied for the first time the principles and functions of management. Some authors like Gullick, Oliver Sheldon, Urwick viewed the problem where identification of activities is necessary for achieving organisation goals. Grouping or departmentation was also considered essential for making the functions effective. Since this theory revolves around structure it is also called \u2018structural theory of organisation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pillars of Organisation Theory:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">According to classical writers, the organisation theory is built around four key pillars division of work, scalar and functional processes, structure and span of control.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>(i) Division of Labour:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Division of labour implies that work must be divided to obtain specialisation with a view to improve the performance of workers. The classical theory rests on the assumption that more a particular job is broken into its simplest component parts, the more specialised a worker can become in carrying out his part of the job.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>(ii) Scalar and Functional Process:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The scalar process refers to the growth of chain of command, delegation of authority, unity of command and obligation to report. It is called scalar process because it provides a scale or grading of duties according to the degree of authority and responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>(iii) Structure:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">It is the framework of formal relationships among various tasks, activities and people in the organization. The basic structural element in the classical theory is position.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>(iv) Span of Control:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The span of control means the number of subordinates a manager can control. Classical thinkers specified numbers at different levels which can be effectively supervised by a superior.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Neo-Classical Organisation Theory:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The classical theory of organisation focused main attention on physiological and mechanical variables of organisational functioning. The testing of these variables did not show positive results..<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>New-classical approach is contained in two points:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">(i)\u00a0\u00a0 Organisational situation should be viewed in social, economic and technical terms, and<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">(ii)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The\u00a0 social\u00a0 process\u00a0 of\u00a0 group\u00a0 behaviour\u00a0 can\u00a0 be\u00a0 understood\u00a0 in\u00a0 terms\u00a0 of \u00a0clinical\u00a0 method analogous to the doctor\u2019s diagnosis of human organism.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">This theory views formal and informal forms of organisation as important. The behavioural approach followed in this theory is the other contribution of new-classical thinkers. The pillars of classical theory viz. division of work, departmentation, co-ordination and human behaviour were taken as given but these postulates were regarded as modified by people acting independently or within the context of the informal organisation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Modern Organisation Theory:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Modern organisation theory is of recent origin, having developed in early 1960\u2019s. This theory has tried to overcome the drawbacks of earlier theories. In the words of W.G. Scott, \u2018The distinctive qualities of modern organisation theory are its conceptual analytical base, its reliance on empirical research data and, above all, its integrating nature. These qualities are framed in a philosophy which accepts the premise that the only meaningful way to study organisation is to study it as a system.\u201d This theory may be understood in two approaches: systems approach and contingency approach.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Systems Approach:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">This approach studies the organisation in its totality. The mutually dependent variables are properly analysed. Both internal and external variables are studied in analysing the nature of organisation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Contingency Approach:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Contingency approach suggests an organisational design which suits a particular unit. A structure will be suitable only if it is tailor made for an enterprise.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The influence of both internal and external factors should be considered while framing a suitable organisational structure. This approach suggests that needs, requirements, situations of a particular concern should be considered while designing an organisational structure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Administration theory<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The 14 principles that capture the essence of the administrative theory could be summarized as follows:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Division of work<\/strong>: Division of work or specialization gives higher productivity because one can work at activities in which one is comparatively highly skilled.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Authority and responsibility<\/strong>: Authority is the right to give orders.

While these three models take different approaches to supervision, skilled and experienced managers can combine elements of each and to apply different models to varying workplace situations.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>The Hierarchy of Needs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The hierarchy of needs was proposed by Abraham Maslow to describe the personal and professional needs all humans innately strive toward. There are five levels of needs: physical, safety, social, self-esteem and self-actualization. The hierarchy helps business owners understand that employees progress through many levels of need fulfillment in the carrying out of their job roles. For some, having a job is a means of security; for others, it&#8217;s about realizing a lifelong dream.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>APPROACHES TO SUPERVISION<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">One-to-one supervision One-to-one supervision is widely used and the supervisor is usually the supervisee\u2019s line manager. Sessions are formally pre-arranged and take place in a confidential setting and protected place. Shared supervision Shared supervision allows teams to share responsibility for supervising individuals. Shared supervision is still conducted one-to-one but the supervisor in this case will not be the supervisee\u2019s line manager, instead he or she will be a practitioner who has skills and experience relevant to the supervisee\u2019s current projects or caseload and so is able to provide specifically relevant support and\/or mentoring. Group supervision Group supervision is usually facilitator led via a formal, pre-arranged process that is\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 1em;text-align: initial\">agreed by the supervisor and supervisees. The make-up of the group depends on the goals of the supervision.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Group supervision complements, rather than substitutes, individual supervision, though it may reduce how often you need one to-one supervision. Professional supervision Professional supervision is for professionally qualified workers in social services. Professional supervision supports supervisees to maintain professional identity, knowledge and meet their post registration training and learning requirements. This is just one way of considering different kinds of supervision. For example, many people might view supervision of all staff, qualified and unqualified, as a professional activity. And one-to-one supervision is the most common form of supervision for professionally qualified workers. In some settings, such as residential care, shift working creates challenges for staff supervision and a model of shared supervision may be used where two or more managers share the supervision of individual staff. In that situation workers will receive one-to-one supervision but not always with the same supervisor.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Some organizations may offer peer supervision or there may be opportunities to consult with an external supervisor as well as the supervision provided by a line manager. There are a variety of ways of structuring group supervision as well as the model described above. In particular, group supervision may benefit workers who are themselves engaged in group work and can use the supervision space to explore some of the dynamics and challenges they encounter in their practice. Depending on your role and your specific work setting you may have experience of different forms of supervision or you may only be familiar with one approach. If you want to learn more about other models you can read more about these in the section on supervision on the Step into Leadership website or the resources listed at the end of this resource.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Importance of Communication in an Organization: <\/strong>Effective<strong> Communication <\/strong>is significant for managers in the organizations so as to perform the basic functions of management, i.e., Planning, Organizing, Leading and Controlling. &#8230; Organizing also requires effective <strong>communication<\/strong> with others about their job task.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>The importance of communication in an organization can be summarized as follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">1. Communication <strong>promotes <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.managementstudyguide.com\/importance_of_motivation.htm\"><strong>motivation <\/strong><\/a><strong>by informing and clarifying the employees about the task to be done, the manner they are performing the task, and how to improve their performance if it is not up to the mark.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">2.\u00a0 Communication is a <strong>source of information<\/strong> to the organizational members for decision-making process as it helps identifying and assessing alternative course of actions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">3.Communication also plays a crucial role in <strong>altering individual\u2019s attitudes<\/strong>, i.e., a well informed individual will have better attitude than a less-informed individual. Organizational magazines, journals, meetings and various other forms of oral and written communication help in moulding employee\u2019s attitudes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">4.Communication also <strong>helps in socializing<\/strong>. In today\u2019s life the only presence of another individual fosters communication. It is also said that one cannot survive without communication.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">5. As discussed earlier, communication also assists in <strong>controlling process<\/strong>. It helps controlling organizational member\u2019s behaviour in various ways. There are various levels of hierarchy and certain principles and guidelines that employees must follow in an organization. They must comply with organizational policies, perform their job role efficiently and communicate any work problem and grievance to their superiors. Thus, communication helps in controlling function of management.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">An effective and efficient communication system requires managerial proficiency in delivering and receiving messages. A manager must discover various <a href=\"http:\/\/www.managementstudyguide.com\/communication_barriers.htm\">barriers to<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.managementstudyguide.com\/communication_barriers.htm\">communication, <\/a>analyze the reasons for their occurrence and take preventive steps to avoid those barriers. Thus, the primary responsibility of a manager is to develop and maintain an effective communication system in the organization.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Good communication is an essential tool in achieving productivity and maintaining strong working relationships at all levels of an organisation.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u00a0 \u00a0 Employers who invest time and energy into delivering clear lines of communication will rapidly build trust amongst employees, leading to increases in productivity, output and morale in general.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Poor communication in the workplace will inevitably lead to unmotivated staff that may begin to question their own confidence in their abilities and inevitably in the organisation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Take steps to build on communication<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">With 40 years of recruitment experience we understand the value of good communication. Below, we\u2019ve outlined some of the key areas where organisations can improve and enhance their communications.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Define goals and expectations <\/strong>\u2013 Managers need to deliver clear, achievable goals to both teams and individuals, outlining exactly what is required on any given project, and ensuring that all staff are aware of the objectives of the project, the department and the organisation as a whole.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Clearly deliver your message <\/strong>\u2013 Ensure your message is clear and accessible to your intended audience. To do this it is essential that you speak plainly and politely \u2013 getting your message across clearly without causing confusion or offence.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Choose your medium carefully <\/strong>\u2013 Once you\u2019ve created your message you need to ensure it\u2019s delivered in the best possible format. While face to face communication is by far the best way to build trust with employees, it is not always an option. Take time to decide whether information delivered in a printed copy would work better than an email or if a general memo will suffice.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Keep everyone involved <\/strong>\u2013 Ensure that lines of communication are kept open at all times. Actively seek and encourage progress reports and project updates. This is particularly important when dealing with remote staff.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Elements of communication<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>(1) Sender:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The person who intends to convey the message with the intention of passing information and ideas to others is known as sender or communicator.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong><em>(2) Ideas:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">This is the subject matter of the communication. This may be an opinion, attitude, feelings, views, orders, or suggestions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>(3) Encoding:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Since the subject matter of communication is theoretical and intangible, its further passing requires use of certain symbols such as words, actions or pictures etc. Conversion of subject matter into these symbols is the process of encoding.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>(4) Communication Channel:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The person who is interested in communicating has to choose the channel for sending the required information, ideas etc. This information is transmitted to the receiver through certain channels which may be either formal or informal.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>(5) Receiver:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Receiver is the person who receives the message or for whom the message is meant for. It is the receiver who tries to understand the message in the best possible manner in achieving the desired objectives.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>(6) Decoding:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The person who receives the message or symbol from the communicator tries to convert the same in such a way so that he may extract its meaning to his complete understanding.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>(7) Feedback:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Feedback is the process of ensuring that the receiver has received the message and understood in the same sense as sender meant it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Communication Theory<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Communication theory was proposed by S. F. Scudder in the year 1980. It states that <strong>all<\/strong> <strong>living beings existing on the planet communicate <\/strong>although the way of communication is different.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Plants communicate their need to be taken care of and watered immediately through visible changes in the colour of the leaves, and the falling of leaves and flowers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Animals communicate by sounds, several movements to indicate that they are hungry or unwell or need medical attention.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">A mother would never understand that her child is hungry unless and until the child cries. Crying is again a form through which the child communicates that he is hungry and needs food. The same applies when he is injured, where he uses crying again as a tool to communicate his pain and need of urgent medical attention.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Thus the universal law of communication theory says that all living beings whether they are plants, animals, human beings communicate through sound, speech, visible changes, body movements, gestures or in the best possible way to make the others aware of their thoughts, feelings, problems, happiness or any other information.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">If a child scores less marks in examinations, parents would not speak to the child for sometime-again an effort to communicate that the parents are angry over the child\u2019s performance and he needs to buck up for his further examinations. Try to irritate a stray dog, he will surely bark on you &#8211; again an animal\u2019s way to communicate that he is angry and should not be irritated further.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Like human beings, animals also communicate among themselves through gestures and body movements. Monkeys always carry their babies with them wherever they go, again a way through which the mother tries to communicate that their babies are safe and the mother is there to take good care of them. During the mating season of animals, communication through gestures\u00a0<span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">plays a very important role in bringing them close, the same way a peacock dances to attract its partner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">Another model of communication says that communication is simply the process of transferring information from the sender to the recipient where the recipient decodes the information and acts accordingly. Large number of people also support this model of communication.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"font-size: 1em\">Communication <\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">can be categorized into three basic<\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 1em\"> types<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">: (1) verbal<\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 1em\">communication<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">, in which you listen to a person to understand their meaning; (2) written <\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 1em\">communication<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">, in which you read their meaning; and (3) nonverbal<\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 1em\">communication<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">, in which you observe a person and infer meaning.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Communication Theory Framework: <\/strong>Let us examine communication and communication theory through the following viewpoints:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li><strong>Mechanistic &#8211; <\/strong>The mechanistic view point says that communication is simply the transmission of information from the first party to the second party. The first party being the sender and the second party being the receiver.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Psychological &#8211; <\/strong>According to the psychological view point, communication is simply not the flow of information from the sender to the receiver but actually the thoughts, feelings of the sender which he tries to share with the recepients. It also includes the reactions, feelings of the receiver after he decodes the information.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Social &#8211; <\/strong>The social view point considers communication as a result of interaction between the sender and the receiver. It simply says that communication is directly dependent on the content of the speech. \u201cHow one communicates\u201d is the basis of the social view point.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Systemic &#8211; <\/strong>The systemic view point says that communication is actually a new and a different message which is created when various individuals interpret it in their own way and then reinterpret it and draw their own conclusion.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Critical &#8211; <\/strong>The critical view point says that communication<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>you can view video on IMPORTANCE, THEORIES, APPROACHES, ELEMENTS OF MOTIVATION, ORGANISATION, SUPERVISION AND COMMUNICATION<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/P5bh2t9OmPI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-120\" src=\"http:\/\/epgpbooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/download.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"36\" height=\"36\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Abbott, A.R., &amp; Sebastian, R.J. 1981 Physical attractiveness and expectations of success.
