  2. There is no significant difference in employee engagement by pay level.

  3. For every standard deviation increase in reward, intrinsic motivation for interesting tasks decreases by about 25%.

  4. Employees who are intrinsically motivated are 3x more engaged than those who are extrinsically motivated.

New cards
14

Equity Theory

Views motivation as being based on a judgment of how fair the work situation is by comparing inputs to outputs

New cards
15

Goal Setting Theory

Views goals as the primary drivers of the intensity and persistence of effort. 2 Key Findings: There is a positive correlation between specific/difficult goals and performance. The more difficult the goal is, the more effort the individual will put in and thus more likely they will perform
