Select a motivational model/theory

HRM460 Colorado State University Week 3 Motivational Model Discussion

Organizations, especially when unemployment rates are low, need to implement organizational policies, practices, and changes that can assist in recruiting and retaining quality employees. When an organization has a limited budget, it is not always possible to increase compensation and benefit offerings. For the purpose of this discussion forum, do the following:

Select a motivational model/theory: Equity Theory, Expectancy Theory, Hackman and Oldman, Job Characteristic Model, McClelland’s Need Theory, Motivation-Hygiene Theory, Porter and Lawler’s Extension, or Vroom.

Explain this motivation model/theory in your own words.

Then, explain how this model/theory can be used to motivate employees of a small organization that is operating under the constraints of a limited budget.
