MOTIVATION WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF INDUSTRIAL/ORGANIZATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY
Two areas of I/O psychology invovle a tremendous amount of theorizing: motivation and leadership (the topic of leadership will be discussed in Chapter 12). Because both motivation and leadership are extremely complex and important topics in the work world, they are given a a great deal of attentnion by I/O pschologists. This chapter introduces a variety of theories of motivation. Rather than viewing these as isolated models, consider the ways in which they are similar. Some of these similarities are reflected in the grouping of theories into categories, such as need tehories and job design theories, as shown in the chapter outline. Other similarities can also help draw related concepts together.
