Discussion: motivation—content versus process theories | IPSY 6480 – Psychology of Organizational Behavior | Walden University

 

Leadership methods, organizational role systems, and employee attitudes have a significant impact on organizational culture. Employee motivation and team performance are directly related to organizational success, making it essential for organizational leaders to balance employee satisfaction and profitable production. However, organizations may sometimes need to change existing role systems in order to meet organizational goals. This change may create stress on employee relationships and team dynamics and erode employee motivation and performance.

In this Discussion, you will compare content and process theories of motivation and examine their impact on work behavior and performance. You will also identify motivational factors that are important to consider when implementing organizational change.
