大连东软信息学院毕业设计(论文)外文资料及译文系所:信息技术与商务管理系专业:人力资源管理班级:人力09002班姓名:李慧洁学号:0912*******大连东软信息学院Dalian Neusoft University of InformationHow to Motivate Every EmployeeIncentive is the core of human resource management.Production and management in the enterprise management, human resources is economic resources with a variety of thoughts, feelings, the most dynamic summation also love that economic resources, but also the soul of enterprise in this organism, therefore, human resources production and management resources than other more important resources, and decisions not only affect the production and operation of enterprises of other economic resources, the value and use, and the province is the enterprise strength of several important components of quality of human resources as a result of production and management in the enterprise economic resources of the status and role, so the effectiveness of corporate governance or the ultimate ideal to achieve the objective should be: every enterprise employees will be able to give top priority to the overall interests of enterprises and business goals , the interests of all willing to contribute their own. Employees of such a mental state of thinking and Normal under oath in order to reflect the difficult, but it is entrepreneurs, managers should be pursued and the ultimate challenge, it is necessary to approach such a state, only through an effective internal incentives. Therefore, the most important task of enterprise management is the human resources management.Traditional personnel management and labor is different from a modern human resources management performance of the main features of the "strategic" level: (one) at the strategic guiding ideology of modern human resource management is "people-oriented" management; (two) the strategic objectives modern human resources management in order to "obtain a competitive advantage," the objectives of management; (three) the scope of the strategy, the modern human resources management is the "full participation in" democratic management; (four) measures in the strategy of modern human resources management is the use of "systematic scientific methods and human art" contingency management. And non-human resources management, compared to human resources management through the "incentives" to achieve, it is the core of human resources management. The so-called "incentive" to meet people from the multi-level and diversified needs of different employees and reward performance standards set value, a maximum staff to stimulate enthusiasm and creativity to achieve the objectives of the Organization. An enterprise of how the use of human resources is determined by many complex factors in the result of the coupling, but the role of management incentives is one of the most important factors.Unlike other non-human resources of the fundamental characteristics of human resources is that it attached to the staff and the existence of the human body, personal moment with thestaff can not be separated, such other person or organization to use human resources, both by its natural all the people of "positive take the initiative "can be achieved with. Therefore, human resources management can "people-oriented" and effectively to stimulate the enthusiasm of employees, to maximize the staff's initiative and creativity, has become the decision of the merits of enterprise production and management of key performance factors and human resources management business success core of the problem.Incentive management system for the management of incentive and motivation of the two systems.Mainly refers to the so-called management incentives in the enterprise human resources management process, managers are faced with a reality of the individual, so human resources and incentive to maintain the day-to-day use of it must vary from person to person, be treated differently. This requires the management of the main there is the climax of the "movement" of skills and techniques, to make comprehensive use of political science, sociology, psychology ergonomics or even all the "human science" of knowledge and technology, effectively "disposable people to the Director-General" that is, to stimulate the enthusiasm of each employee to maximize the use of its human resources, in order to contribute to production and operation. It is a non-symmetric relationships, managers stressed that "leaders of authority"zhi ren shan ren, "understand the public's sentiments," "people decisions" and so on. In short, is a scientific, administrative in nature, not the procedures and methods, such as to reflect, in turn inspired by the meaning of the realization of the democratic nature of the requirements of the people. But on the other hand, the economic behavior of the system that is established under the environmental constraints to maximize their own interests to pursue, it is the most basic human behavior, the most common, and therefore the most dominant type is the most important provisions and manifestations. Therefore, the primary human resources management task is to comply with their natural owners of such properties of economic behavior, in accordance with the "equal treatment" principle of fairness, design and establish a unified, standardized, with the incentive system operability. And in the implementation of enterprise-wide, and in all arrangements of the enterprise system, the most fundamental is the core system of property rights. This requires from the enterprise ownership structure of corporate governance arrangements and a high degree of property rights to establish the status of human capital to ensure their physical power and the realization of the rights and interests, that is, the design and implementation of full ownership and democratic control of the equity incentive plans and measures, as well as corporate culture, teamwork informal institutional arrangements, regardless of the specific system of property rights or the rules and regulations,formal or informal systems, and implementation period are flying day, but after long-term, interactive game and exert an imperceptible influence on the cumulative can be achieved gradually. So, relatively speaking, the system of incentives is a need to establish long-term stability of the fundamental incentive mechanism, which is the basis of management incentive or premise.In today's world, human resources management model inspired East-West cultural background and differences in the adaptability of the Western cultural emphasis on "contract system", the focus on Eastern culture, "gang cang human relations." Against the background of oriental culture of human resources management in the typical form of incentive is the Japanese model. Its basic features. Is to focus on "management incentives," stressed the sovereignty of staff practitioners, who take full advantage of the "social" or "teamwork" of the motives, the adoption of lifetime employment, the annual wage order, internal promotion and development of training, human resources management incentives. Western culture against the backdrop of human resources management of the typical form of incentive is the American model, with the economics of the system close to motivation theory. The basic features can be summed up as: focus on "incentive system", focus on the use of the mechanism of market competition, the enterprise division of labor based on specialization, primarily by the pressure of external competition in the market for employees to carry out contract management of the system. Need to be clear is that at the enterprise level strategic and operational practice, incentive and management incentive system must be unified into the human resources management system, to combine and integrate the business incentives for the complete system and operation mechanism.Management of domestic enterprises in the incentive problems.At present, some enterprises that exist in its internal staff and the work of a lack of positive initiative, people slack, lack of market competitiveness of products, the low level of operating cost-effective and so on, The reason is fundamentally an important reason for this is that business organizations poor work incentives. On the one hand, because some of the reasons for business leaders and managers understand the error, just as a human resources to enable staff to play a positive inhibited. They believe that China's surplus labor force in the state, is a free call, disposition of resources. In this sense, under the guidance of business leaders to employees only as an "inexhaustible" in the choice and use of resources is not loyal to employees and retraining employees loyalty to the establishment of enterprises, but only to strengthen the supervision and control of the so-called. To do so resulted in a lack of staff-to-business identity, that they only employed in business, how much money to stem thenumber of living, the degree of mutual trust is very low, it is difficult to give full play to the potential of staff to mobilize the enthusiasm and creativity of employees, business lack of incentives. On the other hand is part of the way enterprises motivate the existence of the errors in the main embodiment of love you two-fold: (1) too focused on the operator's incentives, the incentive for the operators, though important, but are far below the enterprises can not solve all the problems, Lei ben stein, such as X-efficiency theory put forward the view that the efficiency of the organization depends on the efforts of all staff levels, only different types of employees in accordance with the needs of different incentives in different institutional arrangements in order to achieve the effectiveness of different incentives, and ultimately "Organization and personal interests." If we ignore the X-efficiency of the staff and lead to the existence of efficient non-X, which is a direct result of the lack of sustainable development and move forward. (2) the incentives for staff to ignore the incentive groups and different levels, the simple equivalent award will inspire. Lack of targeted incentives to employees with knowledge of the general staff motivation confuse its a direct consequence of the incentive effect of decreasing the number of employees to be in the side of the ticket in order to complain about not enough or not as good as others, when the business no more "sugar "to meet their demand, the incentive to work will be reduced to much lower than the last time it was the state incentives. Therefore, the proper use of incentive mechanisms to stimulate more effective, is placed in front of business leaders must pay attention to the problem.Employee incentive measures.Incentives for the management of human resources management in particular, the importance of self-evident. Incentives can be adopted by all of, the enterprises need to attract them; also can make the most of the employees to perform their talents and wisdom; work so as to maintain the effectiveness and efficiency. Incentive not only to make employees feel at ease, and actively work to play it so staff recognition and acceptance of the enterprise goals and values, the enterprise have a strong sense of belonging. According to the United States, Professor William James of Harvard University study, in the absence of incentive environment, the potential for staff to play out only a small part of that is 20% -30%, first-served basis just to keep their rice bowls; and in a good incentive mechanism for the environment, the same staff can play a potential 80% -90%, it can be seen, so that each employee is always a good incentive environment is the management of human resources development and the pursuit of the ideal state. So how do we inspire employees to effectively correct the times?First,Adhere to people-centered, respect for human nature, and establish and implement the "employee-centric" management concept."People-oriented, respect for humanity" as a modern management philosophy, emphasizing the ultimate goal of management - to improve the economic efficiency of enterprises on the people behind the management of behavior is no longer a cold cold command type, the compulsory type. But carrying out an incentive, trust, caring, emotional, manager of human nature embodies a high degree of understanding and attach importance to managers as employees can not be purely "economic man" in order to meet their survival needs and material interests of the management an opportunity to but to pay attention to the employees respect the spirit of self-actualization needs at higher level in order to provide creative work and encouraging personality to play to mobilize the enthusiasm of employees, in the equal exchange of lead and establish the concept of corporate management; the external control into self-control, so that each employee to form their own sense of corporate loyalty and a sense of responsibility, so that the value of employees to achieve personal and business survival and development into a passer-by, if the enterprises do not know how to be people-oriented, and lack of basic understanding of human nature and respect for , to the neglect of the personal value of human resources to enable employees to achieve long-term needs of the individual values can not be met or even depression, will not be able to retain the best talent, companies will lose competitiveness. Therefore, we must do the following: Staff carry out regular surveys to understand the extent possible, a matter of concern to employees, especially those relevant to their work, and to win the support and loyalty of staff, and staff to guide the spirit of innovation, attract and retain employees, companies should strive to collect the following the desired information staff: the fairness of work; organizational learning; communication; degree of flexibility and concern; Customer Center; trust and delegation of authority; the effectiveness of management; job satisfaction, the adequacy of support, was placed in a suitable role , and whether or not to feel valuable.Focus on staff remuneration, benefits, working conditions, as well as flexible, to facilitate the preferential arrangements. Enterprises should change with the times, in addition to the traditional emphasis on staff remuneration, welfare and the improvement of working conditions but also the possibility of other incentives, such as the provision of day care; serving University; tuition grants; shorter working hours in summer; the implementation of employee stock option plan; set up a remote post office and so on.Second, the implementation of a comprehensive compensation strategy to motivate employees to fully.The so-called "comprehensive compensation strategy", which means the company will pay the salaries of employees classified as "external" and "inherent" in two categories, a combination of the two is the "full pay", "external pay "referring primarily to provide their employees with quantifiable monetary value, for example, the basic wage bonuses, stock options, pension, medical insurance and so on," internal pay "refers to those provided to employees can not be quantified the performance of monetary value of various currencies. For example, work satisfaction, for the completion of its work to facilitate the provision of personal tools, training opportunities, attractive corporate culture, good interpersonal relations, coordination of the work environment, as well as individual recognition, appreciation and so on, external salaries and pay their own internal incentives have different functions. Their contact with each other, complement each other, constitute a complete system of remuneration, practice has proved that as a result of staff-to-business expectations and needs to be comprehensive, which includes not only material needs, but also spiritual needs, and thus the implementation of "full pay" strategy, is an effective model of staff motivation.Third,incentives should be fair, just and eliminate incentives for "big".Fair and impartial is a fundamental principle of motivation. If you do not fair, improper Prize Award, improper punishment and punishment, not only can not receive the desired results, but will result in many negative consequences, it is necessary to impartial and incorruptible, regardless of affinity, regardless of distance, will be treated equally in order to promote the enthusiasm of the staff along the right direction virtuous circle, as proposed by the United States manage the academic award as the criteria. Only by doing so can enhance the cohesion and centripetal force. At the same time, incentives are clearly ancient times people believed in the basic management principles. In fact if the additional money as wages, as it is unrelated to individual performance and reward, employees feel they deserve it, rather than the result of the efforts, so that people can not be stimulated and motivated. Therefore, the smart managers should do everything possible to reward and recognize performance combine it with the cause of loyalty, dedication to the cause of the close combination of fact, the staff inside the imbalance is that they do good , there are dedicated, but work with people who do not receive the same treatment. This is often not satisfied with the staff and leadership reasons, incentives to companies linked to behavior and employee benefits, the higher the protection of personal value, the greater their income, and through incentives to create a fair competitive environment to increase the comparability of results, and promote up groups.To sum up, the management of enterprises in the use of incentives should bepeople-oriented, pay attention to and strengthen the strong spirit of enterprise and development of mining resources to improve the workers compensation which the degree of non-material rewards, in the determination and implementation of policies and work rules and regulations in, and strive to embody the principle of fair and equitable. Employees should not blindly encourage unrealistic earnings expectations increase, otherwise you will enable enterprises to individual workers or groups of incentives and constraints arising from the difficulties, the effectiveness of decline, more difficult.。

外文文献原文+译文原文The research of enterprise core staff incentiveMarkus HAbstractEconomic globalization gradually, the modern enterprise is facing more and more fierce market competition, the competition is the core of enterprise talent competition. As the employees of the enterprise, the core employees because of their master professional skills, in the management, controlling and utilizing the dominant position of other resources, become the key to gain a competitive edge. And how to effectively motivate the core staff, to cope with the increasingly fierce external competition has become a modern enterprise is facing a big problem.Key words: Enterprise core staff; Incentives; The psychological contract1 IntroductionIn the global competition of the knowledge economy era, the enterprise's survival and the sustainable growth depends fundamentally on enterprise's competitive advantage, and the modern enterprise's human resources is its unique value, scarcity and difficult to imitation characteristics become an important part of enterprise core competitiveness. The core employees as the owner of the key knowledge and skills, is a major creator of enterprise value, is also the source of enterprise gain competitive advantage. The effect of the core staff can be fully play to a large extent determines the rise and fall success or failure of the enterprise, and how to effective incentive is the core staff is the enterprise human resources management must be part of the work. In the increasingly fierce war for talent in the new economic era, the world within the scope of the enterprise are facing an important and headaches, namely core staffs loss problem. How to establish and perfect the policy system of favorable to arousing the initiative of enterprise core staff, retain and use good enterprise core staff, fully tap the potential construction enterprise own core competitiveness, is a need to actively explore and strive to solve the problem.2 Literature reviewScholars have the general research of enterprise employees incentive is more, and the study of enterprise core staff incentive is relatively small, they in this aspect research focus mainly on how to retain core employees, scholars to business success in keeping key employees are studied on the basis of the fact, puts forward some practical methods and countermeasures. Management guru Peter ducker put knowledge staff is defined as: "those who master and use symbols and concepts, use knowledge or information to the people who work". He describes the characteristics of knowledge workers in two ways: first, they may be due to bad mood productivity. Second, they are not employees but volunteers, although they also get the corresponding reward. He pointed out that the main cause of knowledge worker productivity is low is failed to define knowledge worker's own work. Education is the responsibility of knowledge workers, and others in the enterprise into a Learning organization, Learning organization) first before going to be a type of Teaching organization (would organization).Knowledge workers have to clear the information he needed. Therefore, must be the same as volunteers rather than employees to manage them. Although the core staff and knowledge workers are not the same concept, but there are many commonalities between the two. David Park and Scott a. spell from the perspective of enterprise development strategy, a combination of transaction cost economics theory, human capital theory and strategic management theory, human capital in the enterprise employment model on the basis of core employees has been studied. They think: human capital is the key of enterprise competitive advantage resources, and the core of the enterprise staff in the organization's unique technology, is to organize the source of competitive advantage. Lose loss of core staff will lead to organization capital, and increase the inside of the core staff employed to enhance the value of organizational creativity. Therefore, the organization should pay attention to cultivating the core staff loyalty, by increasing the investment in this part of the employees, allowing them to participate in decision-making and motivation to contribute to the organization.And scholars mainly from the core staff loss such as Bevan losses to the enterprise, the reasons of the loss of core staff, and retain the core staff and theenterprise strategy and so on were studied. They put forward the core employee retention strategy mainly includes: provide training and development opportunities for the core staff improve the manager's management style, flexibility, let the core employees in company profits, etc. Cloth lanham that retain the core staff strategy focused on four key points: first, as people are willing to work for the company. Second, we should choose good talent. Third, let employees have a good start. Fourth, use methods such as guidance and rewards to keep staff loyalty. He also provides many excels in human resources management of the company's actual case studies, such as HP, Cisco and star bucks, lists many of these companies specific incentives, for many managers in keeping enterprise core talents provides certain help and reference. Beverly kay and Sharon Jordan stressed that retain the core staff refers to not only stop the outflow, at the same time to make them more "into" and "work". He pointed out that in addition to a reasonable remuneration, in reality the core employees also expect a challenging and meaningful work, learning and development opportunities, friendly colleagues, hope to get recognition and respect, still hope to have a good manager can affect these aspects. In addition, he also for managers and human resource workers put forward the strategy of the 26 effective to retain core employees. Knowledge management expert Dr Han tan's core staff incentive factors is proposed. Motivate the core staff, he thought, the first four factors are: personal growth 43%, 13% work independent, business achievement of 5%, 7% money wealth. So on the core staff incentive, not with money is given priority to, and should be given priority to with development and growth. Axe, a world famous management consulting co., LTD cooperate with Australian institute of management research after three years of research, for Australia, the United States, Japan's industries, 858 employees (including 160 knowledge workers) listed after analyzing the knowledge staff incentive factors.3 Related theories3.1 Enterprise core staffAt the university of Maryland and David Scott from the perspective of enterprise development strategy, the theory of transaction cost economics theory, human capitaland strategic management theory, put forward to build organizational strategic mixed employment model of human capital theory of human capital. The human capital in the organization can accord the value of "human capital" and "the uniqueness of human capital" dual dimension is divided into four types. Among them, the human capital has the high value and is unique staff can be called the core staff.The core employees of enterprises can be roughly divided into three categories: the first category, the core staff with professional skills, this kind of core employees mainly owns a business or professional skills in the field of talent on one hand, its working relationship with the normal operation of the enterprise. The second category, the core staff with a broad range of external relations, this type of employees needed to have the business relationship with extensive external resources, is the enterprise bridge of communication with outside organizations, such as sales of key personnel and business personnel, enterprises need through their access to the required resources and product output. Third class, has the core staff management skills, this kind of staff is mainly to help enterprises to resist risk management, save administrative costs, its performance is closely related to the development of the enterprise quality. Of course, the enterprise managers in determining the enterprise core staff, the company should pay attention to combining with the specific development status and trend of the enterprise external environment and attention should be paid to the determination of core employees should be along with the development of the enterprise and the market changes constantly, dynamic adjustment and optimization.3.2 Incentive theoryMotivation is a general term, is widely used for driving force, wishes, needs, wishes and similar forces of the whole class. In management, incentives is by some means or methods for organization members in a state of excitement and tension, positive action, and pay more time and energy, to achieve the organization's desired goal. Since the beginning of the 20th century, many management scientists, psychologists and sociologists have been studied from different angles on people implement effective incentive problems, and put forward many good incentive theory. According to the core of the incentive problem research, can reduce incentive theoryand divided into content motivation theory, process motivation theory, strengthening the incentive theory and comprehensive incentive theory etc.3.3 The psychological contract theoryPsychological Contract (The Psychological Contract) and been translated into The Psychological Contract, The current in The field of psychology research there are a lot of different understanding and explanation, has not yet formed a very authoritative and unified concept. Levinson regarded the concept of "psychological contract" as a kind of no written contract. According to Levinson's point of view, "psychological contract" relations between the employers and employees in the organization and the employee agree beforehand good implicit didn't say it to each other with their respective various expectations. Some expectations in consciousness clear (such as wages), and some expectation on the consciousness is vague, such as long-term expectations of promotion, etc.Famous American management psychologist cover (e. h. Stein) professor, psychological contract is "between the individual will be dedicated and desires to obtain, and the organization for personal expectations and provide a kind of coordination with the". It is not a tangible contract, but it does play a tangible contract again. Robinson (Robinson), and other people will be psychological contract is defined as between individuals and organizations, a certain period of time, certain circumstances a personal belief within the scope of the mutual expectations. That is to say, in the research of psychological contract is an expect of each other between people and organizations, as well as in different periods and different situations exist specifically belongs to the expectations of the faith, emphasizes the psychological contract is a kind of two levels of the each other between individuals and organizations. Above all, "psychological contract" to each other in the employment of the parties shall employ what should be a kind of subjective psychological agreement at the same time, the key components of convention is to employ the implicit unwritten mutual responsibility. This article USES the concept of "psychological contract", emphasizes the psychological contract of employees, namely from the perspective of employees unilateral responsibility and the responsibility of theemployees of the organization.文献出处:Markus H.

员工激励英文作文Incentivizing employees is crucial for boosting productivity and morale in the workplace. One effective way to motivate staff is through performance-based bonuses or rewards.Recognition is also a powerful motivator for employees. Acknowledging their hard work and achievements in front of their peers can go a long way in boosting their confidence and motivation.Another way to inspire employees is by providing them with opportunities for professional development and growth. This could include offering training programs, mentorship opportunities, or the chance to take on new responsibilities.Creating a positive work environment is essential for keeping employees motivated. This can be achieved through open communication, a supportive management team, and astrong sense of teamwork and collaboration.Offering flexible work options, such as remote work or flexible hours, can also be a great way to motivate employees. This shows that you trust and respect your employees, and it can lead to increased job satisfactionand productivity.Finally, offering meaningful incentives, such as extra vacation days, company-sponsored outings, or other perks, can help keep employees engaged and motivated in their work. These incentives show that you value and appreciate your employees' hard work and dedication.。

员工激励理论外文文献及翻译员工激励理论外文文献及翻译One-to-one-management companiesare run -- in a timely inversion of John Adams's ideal -- as organizations of men (and women), not of laws. Nonetheless, a few laws, or at least cultural traits, appear to govern many such organizations. Together those traits create an environment where employees' needs are known, sometimes anticipated, and served, justas customers' needs are known, sometimes anticipated, and served in CRM-focused organizations. What follows is a look at the rules by which one-to-one-management companies operate[2].3.2 It's All in the DetailHow do you build morale and a sense of corporate responsibility? In surprisingly small ways. Standing in the kitchen at Eze Castle Software, CEO Sean McLaughlin watches as one of his programmers sets milk and cookies on a table. It's 2:30 on a Wednesday afternoon. "Hang on, Parvathy," McLaughlin says to the employee as he opens the refrigerator door and pulls out an apple pie. "Put this out, too." When Parvathy is done in the kitchen, she flips some switches, andthe lights flicker all over the fifth floor. Almost instantly, programmers leave their cubicles and make a beeline for thekitchen.Then Parvathy jogs up a staircase and flashes the lights on the sixth floor. Account managers, salespeople, and assorted techies come downstairs and join their colleagues in the kitchen. When they arrive, McLaughlin is at the center of the steadily building crowd, dishing out the pie. Around him conversations spring up between colleagues who work in different departments. The topics range from work to social life to politics. Ten minutes later the lights flash again and it's back to work for the 90 employees in the Boston office of Eze.What's so remarkable about the staff of a developer of securities-trading software with $13 million in revenues taking daily milk-and-cookies breaks? Not much -- until you consider that the practice is part of a cultural shift engineered by the CEO, a shift that has profoundly changed the way he and his employees relate toone another. Perhaps more significant, the changes have affected how employees deal with the myriad little details that keep the six-year-old company grounded.原文请找腾讯3249114六-维^论,文.网Eze's transformation began last year, when McLaughlin realized to his chagrin that his once small and collegial company had -- because of accelerated growth -- begun acting like a large corporation. His employees no longer knew one another, and he himself was increasingly vague about who some of the new faces were. "In the early days I could get to know everyone," saysMcLaughlin.However, the CEO was most annoyed by the fact that his employees -- both old and new -- were beginning to behave with large-company sloppiness rather than with start-up frugality. "Back when we were small, if someone sent a FedEx, we all knew how much that was costing the company," McLaughlin says. He recalls noticing that things were changing when one employee approved paying a contractor $100 a month to water the company's five plants. Then there were rising charges from the company's Internet service provider because of excessive traffic on the corporate T1 line. The cause? Employees were downloading MP3 files to listen to music during the workday. It frustrated McLaughlin that employees weren't taking responsibilityfor their actions and for the ways in which those actions affected the company's bottom line[2].But last summer two things happened that spurred McLaughlin to make some changes.First, the Boston office lost both of its administrative assistants. One assistant quit and the other left a few weeks later. The two had stocked the supply room, sorted the mail, and welcomed visitors. The dual departures wreaked havoc. "The kitchen was out of milk, we didn't have any pens in the supply cabinet, the reception area looked like crap," McLaughlin says.Then came the World Trade Center attacks. Though McLaughlin had long been brooding on how to reverse Eze's fat-cat habits, he had yet to act. He says that 9-11, and the "what are my priorities" thinking it engendered, "created an environment where it was easy for me to initiate a change."The change he had in mind was inspired by a visit to his daughter's kindergarten class. There he saw how the teacher divided the cleanup tasks among the children by posting a rotating "chore wheel." McLaughlin thought the wheel was just the thing to clean up the mess and teach his employees a little corporate responsibility. But he also wanted to institute something that would help improve camaraderie. That's where another kindergarten institution, the milk-and-cookies breaks, came in. "I wanted to build relationships among the employees, to make them feel more company morale," he says.上一页[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] 下一页。

本科毕业论文(设计)外文翻译原文:Employee MotivationThe problem of motivating other people is probably as old as the history of man himself, or at least as old as that point in time when man found he could only accomplish certain tasks by combining his efforts or abilities with those of other individuals. With the onset of this realization of the value and need for cooperative effort, the problem was further compounded when larger numbers of people were needed to accomplish a task. The situation then arose of providing direction to such a multiple effort; and with direction, i.e., someone telling others what to do or overseeing the effort, there came the matter of how to motivate these people. The old saying, one can lead a horse to water but one cannot make him drink, was and remains the crux of the motivation problem.The whip, the lash, cajolery, persuasion, bribery, promises, pleadings, and numerous other techniques have been and are still being used in an attempt to motivate others. Yet, despite our long confrontation with this problem, we are still far from understanding or knowing how to motivate others. Motivation is a matter further complicated by the particular period of time, the particular circumstances and the par- ticular economic conditions surrounding an act. Under conditions of prosperity and full employment, such as the U.S.A. has experienced, the problem of motivating others may become a far more difficult task, particularly in a free society. It is not uncommon today to hear employers ask: How does one get his employees to be genuinely concerned about their work, to take real interest in what they are doing, to accept challenges, to take pride in what they are doing, to want to accomplish at a high level, to want to assume responsibility?Let us begin by examining the problem of motivation in an organizational setting, for it is here that our particular interests are most concerned. Analytically and forsimplicity's sake, one can discern five key elements which play a major role in motivation. These are the employer, the employee, the work environment, the goals of the employer and the goals of the other members of the organization (the workers, supervisors, and managers). It is the interplay of these factors that influences the problem of motivation and determines the outcome.Let us then make some quick observations of this organizational setting for it is here, within these bounds, that the drama is played. If one observes the work place, one can see people engaged in a variety of activities. Some of these activities may seem to be related to the activities of others, while others may seem to be quite independent. One catches a glimpse of a particular individual who appears to be telling others what to do, or of other people near each other engaged in conversation, while carrying on some activity. The total effect is one of much activity about the scene. This activity-whether similar or different; whether it is writing, talking or making machines function; or whether it is unobservable activity of thought-all has purpose. The purpose or purposes may be different for different organizations, but one basic fact emerges regardless of the kind of organization it may be-all organizations have purpose, and all of the activities that take place within the organization are deemed essential by someone to accomplish the organization's purpose.Lest one gain from this description a picture of uncertainty and unpredictability of output, it is important to add that management cannot function or accept such a condition and, therefore, imposes standards of productivity or output. In the factory these are most readily known in terms of piece rates or units of production. Despite these requirements by management, it is well known that workers withhold produc- tion; that is, workers may well have the ability to produce more than that required of them. This problem of level of production is far more amorphous in the work situation where the professional person is engaged. How does one measure output in these situations and by what standards? One looks in vain for answers. Attempts have been made and will continue to be made to find solutions, but most of the attempts so far have crumbled or floundered because of the subjectivity involved in establishing such criteria. To date no precise mathematical formulae for determining such standardshave been found, and even if they were, it is highly questionable whether they would be equally acceptable to managers and workers. At best, in the business and in- dustrial situation, the worker is considered as a cost factor in the grand total of production costs. Successful companies approximate or determine some level of productivity needed from the worker to consider this element a profitable aspect of the overall operation. In state, national or urban governmental work where services are rendered to the public, even the cost concept of the worker as he relates to pro- ductivity or profitability becomes lost.What then are some of the factors that lead to this situation and what can be done to motivate people? Earlier five factors were mentioned as playing a key role in the motivation area. At this point, I mention two of the vital ones-the supervisor and the employee.First, let us repeat quickly some points already made. All organizations have purpose. A library is an organization having the purpose or purposes of providing a professional service to the public or to special publics. All of its employees are then the means by which this service will be provided. How well this service will be rendered will depend upon how well the various activities are carried out by the employees of the library. How adequately these employees will perform will depend upon their own self-motivation or how well they have been motivated by their supervisors.Even if there is satisfaction with the work being done today, it is only momentary for the accomplishments of today merely become the base for the improvements of tomorrow. The overwhelming characteristic of work in our time is change, and the only instruments capable of making these changes are the managers, the supervisors and the workers. There is only one effective way to get these changes made and that is to influence employees to want to make them.How do we do this? What are some of the factors involved? First, it is important that we never forget that it is the individual, the worker, who is being asked to make this change and that it is the employee who is in control of the situation. It is the worker who must make the final decision to make this change and he will determinehow much or how little he will do. The supervisor, in the extreme position, can fire the worker, but the question then arises as to what this will accomplish.A second point that must be made is the point so well stated by Drucker: "In hiring a worker one cannot hire a hand; its owner always comes with it . . .one can hire only a whole man rather than any part thereof." And when one hires this whole man or woman, one has hired a personality, attitudes, motives, levels of aspiration, goals, am- bitions, needs, egos, roles, abilities, interests, values and many other factors.Now let us briefly consider the other half of this duality of the supervisor motivating the employee. This worker has a personality which is defined in Menninger's words as "all that a man has been- is-and hopes to be." This is the total person-the way he thinks and feels, his likes and hates, his abilities and interests, his values, and his hopes and desires. It is here in this work place where his hopes and ambitions may be fulfilled or smashed. It is here where his aspirations may be achieved and challenged or where he may develop frustration, aggression, hostility, and apathy. It is this work place which consumes so large a part of his life and either provides fulfillment of his needs or miserably fails to meet them.Searching deeper to understand this worker, one can see him as a "needs system" seeking to satisfy his wants. Maslow sees the individual in our society and culture as one having a hierarchy of needs. These move from a base of meeting physiological requirements for survival to the apex of self-accomplishments in one's own right. Between these bounds he traces the need for safety and protection from bodily harms and the next level of dependence, the need to feel secure and to be able to depend upon others. This is followed by the need for independence, to be able to stand on one's own two feet, to be respected, to have self-esteem. And lastly this need hierarchy is capped by the need for self-realization, the need to achieve and accomplish. Gratification of our basic needs frees us to move on to the next higher level. In this concept one moves from the area of physiological requirements to the psychological needs. McGregor points this up clearly when he states, "Man lives by bread alone, when there is no bread." He points to this area of higher needs as theplace where managers and supervisors fail to motivate their works. He points out that today most employees can generally fulfill their basic physiological needs, whereupon they attempt to seek fulfillment of their needs in the areas of self- expression, recognition, having some voice in job affairs, doing something worthwhile, and demanding a chance to grow. Often these needs are largely overlooked by the supervisor and the result is frustration for the worker.Fundamentally, the problem can be raised in question form as follows: How can we apply the knowledge we have gained to the problem of motivating people? In posing this question, certain conditions must be recognized: 1) One cannot blanket all workers by a general formula. Motivation is an individual matter, and one needs to know and understand as best one can the individual who is to be motivated. 2) One will not be able to motivate others for any length of time if such motivation is used for personal or selfish reasons, i.e., if people are being used for one's own gain. 3) A most important condition, one that cannot be overlooked, is that individuals have their own goals, objectives and aspirations. Unfortunately and all too frequently, only the organization's goals are considered. True, these are important, but equally important is the need to help the individual seek to achieve his goals within the context of the organization's goals. It is a concept of integration, of the realization of individual goals within the larger framework of the organization. It is possible, and it becomes an essential element in motivating others.Along with the above concept flows the process of giving greater freedom and responsibility to the individual to direct his own activities for the accomplishment of organizational objectives. At the same time, this will provide the individual with the opportunity to meet his own egoistic needs. Along with this one can allow the individual to enlarge his job responsibilities and more fully to utilize his abilities. Here one is providing the opportunity of challenge, and the environment for accomplishment, and again one sees conditions being provided for the meeting of higher level needs.Finally there is the matter of appraisal. Ratings and evaluations of workers have long been in use. In general, they have not been very successful, and much of thecause is related to the fact that they have been used critically, destructively, and with little sound data to support the evaluation. Within this process of appraisal, however, there lies good potential for motivation of the worker. But first, it becomes necessary that we reverse the attitude that the appraisal process is destructive. It must be used to allow the employee to set objectives or goals for himself and his work. It can be used to allow the individual to evaluate himself, or, as in the case of General Electric, IBM, General Mills, and others, it can be used as a process of self-evaluation by the employee as well as his supervisor. Regardless of specific technique, the fundamental factor is that evaluations become a constructive developmental approach which can be vitally effective in the motivational process.In conclusion, one can see the supervisor as one of the prime forces in the motivational process. His prime role is one of developing people who want to participate spontaneously and cooperatively in reaching both organizational and personal goals.Source: Charles H. Goodman.

The scope is limited in that it excludes any consideration as to whether these plans are actually implemented. Our interest focuses only on the extent to which supervisors endeavor to assist employees in correcting orovercoming weaknesses and in enhancing or developing perceived strengths. The findings reported here are based on a 1981 monitoring of the performance appraisal system used by the State of Iowa.As civil service reform has been instituted in one jurisdiction after another in order to further assure objective, performance based personnel practices, performance appraisal has emerged as one of the key issues in the personnel management of the 1980s. This heightened sense of importance and seriousness has, in turn, led to a renewed interest in the study of the actual workings of performance appraisal systems.The uses to which performance appraisal can be put are myriad. The recent Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 serves as a model in this respect. Here we find enunciated what may be taken as the typical orientation toward the uses of performance appraisal, recommending that personnel managers and supervisors "use the results of performance appraisal as. a basis for training, rewarding, reassigning, promoting, reducing in grade, retaining, and removing employees." Performance appraisal systems can also serve to validate personnel testing and selection procedures, although such systems are themselves also subject to affirmative action validation requirements.The economic recessions of the 1970s and 1980s have placed significant restraints on these uses, however. The imposition of hiring freezes, the diminishment of promotional opportunities, the advent of reductions-in-force, and the near abandonment of merit pay provisions by financially strapped governmental entities have contributed to the loss of enthusiasm for performance appraisal in many quarters. Under such circumstances, performance appraisal一limited in its use to the more negative functions of employee evaluation-takes on the dreaded image ascribed to them by Douglas McGregor (1957).In their search to salvage something positive from amidst thesecircumstances personnel specialists have alighted upon the use of performance appraisal as a guide for employee training and development. This offers them the opportunity of providing public employees with a service that employees view as beneficial. Although public employees have shown little confidence in specific performance appraisal systems or in the managerial abilities of those responsible for their implementation (McGregor, 1957; Levinson, 1976; Nalbandian,1981), they have tended to demonstrate a more favorable attitude when the purpose of performance appraisal has been perceived to be employee development (Decotiis and Petit, 1978;Cascio, 1982).This, of course, still poses a significant problem to a multipurpose system such as that found in the State of Iowa. Disenchantment or distrust with one aspect of the performance appraisal system may significantly contribute to the weakening of the entire evaluation system.THE IOWA PERFORMANCE EVALUATION SYSTEMIn all public service systems employees are evaluated periodically; most often this is done informally. The introduction of formal systems of performance appraisal, usually in addition to continued informal assessment, is a relatively recent event. Formal systems of performance appraisal are designed to provide a systematic and objective measure of individual job performance and/or potential for development.Although the use of formal performance appraisal in Iowa can be traced back at least to the early 1950s (limited, for the most part, to such rudimentary methods as the essay or graphic rating scale), these occurred within a fragmented setting. Individual departments and agencies retained descretion over the choice of such personnel practices until well into the 1960s.Under Governor Harold Hughes (1963一1969) a number of efforts were undertaken tostrengthen the executive. Among these reforms was the creation of the State Merit System of Personnel Administration, administered by the Iowa Merit Employment Department, in 1967. Even so, there were numerous exemptions limiting the extent of its coverage, both in terms of separate merit systems outside its jurisdiction and of patronage appointments. The executive reform movement was continued throughout the lengthy service of Governor Robert Ray (1969-1983). Strong executive support was placed behind the development of the personnel system. Governor Ray unsuccessfully advocated expanding the IMED jurisdiction through the elimination of the existing coverage exemptions and by integrating the separate merit systems into an executive personnel department. Notwithstanding the somewhat 1imited success of recent Iowa governors, the basis for a professionalized public service was established during those years.One reflection of this basis is the fact that the use of a statewide appraisal-by-objectives system was inaugurated in 1977. The implementation of this system followed the introduction of the management-by-objectives concept among a number of the larger state agencies.Since appraisal-by-objectives is a specific application or extension of the MBO approach, it was felt that by this means executive support for performance appraisal could be more readily obtained. It is known, of course, that the lack of managerial support is a significant contributing factor in the failure of many performance appraisal systems. The Iowa performance evaluation system is an ideal-typical descriptive example of the appraisal-by-objectives technique. The introduction of this approach in 1977 was accompained by a series of training sessions (Burke, 1977) and supported with supervisory and employee handbooks.However, training for new supervisors and periodic "refresher courses" appear to have been given a low priority in Iowa, as is generally the case in public sector personnel systems. Iowa's use of appraisal-by-objectives is designed as a participatory system. Employee participation is a hallmark found among most modern management approaches and has been linked to successful public sector performance appraisal systems (Lovrich, et al,1981).The Iowa performance evaluation process is initiated with joint completion of "Section A:Responsibilities and Standards/Results Expected" (also referred to as the "job description")by the supervisor and employee. This is the first of three sections included in the performante appraisal form/process. Section A is completed at the beginning of the annual appraisal period while sections B and C are written up at its conclusion. The employee is to be given prior notice of the conference and supplied copies of previous evaluation for use as guides. Eight to ten major responsibilities (four to five is the norm) are to be selected and, written down in a results-oriented format with specific standards by which the achievement of these results are to be measured. These individual responsibilities are weighted through the use of an additive formula which factors in the time spent on each task and the evaluation of its importance or the consequence of error (a five point Likert-type scale is used for both). The overall employee rating is the weighted average of these individual responsibility ratings(also based on a five point scale).In the event that these responsibilities need to be subject to modification due to changing circumstances, a new Section A would be prepared by the supervisor and employee. During the course of the evaluation period the supervisor is also encouraged to use a "critical incident" approach. Both formal (with written copy inserted into theemployee's file) and informal communications between employees and supervisors are encouraged. For negative incidents it is important that a record of corrective action be documented; employees must be notified if they are doing something wrong and the supervision must indicate how they can correct their behavior.At the end of the evaluation period, again following advanced notice, the employee and supervisor meet to discuss the employee's job performance in light of the responsibilities outlined in the employee's Section A. Worksheets are used at this meeting with a formal evaluation prepared only afterward. At this appraisal interview the supervisor discusses "SectionB: Performance Review/Rating" with the employee. Employees are also given the opportunity to formally comment on the final evaluation form. Historically only five percent do so,of which under two percent can be classified as negative comments."Section C: Summary of Total Job Performance and Future Performance Plans" is also completed at this time. Basically, this is an essay evaluation. The supervisor is provided the opportunity to list the employee's "areas of strength- and those "areas needing improvement." In the latter instances "training and developmental plans" for correcting these are supposed to be filed.DATA COLLECTIONIn conjunction with its implementation efforts the Iowa Merit Employment Department engaged in a two-year monitoring of its appraisal-by-objectives evaluation system. The results of this monitoring project, involving the sampling of performance appraisals submitted in between July 1978 and December 1979, were reported to state officials in January 1980.The first monitoring project led to a number of minor changes in the performance evaluation system. For most part thesemodifications represented "word changes;" e.g., instead of listing"employee weaknesses," "areas needing improvement" were prescribed.This study is based on the results of a second monitoring project conducted by the IMED.The questions addressed in this study were, in part, raised by the first monitoring project.While the first monitoring focused primarily on the basic or general implementation of the performance evaluation system (i.e., was there compliance with the mandated requirements?), the second is more concerned with how well it is working. The format used here is that of "action research" or "troubleshooting" (Starling, 1979, pp. 495一514; Rossi and Freeman, 1982). IMED staff served as judges who assessed the qualitative aspects of performance appraisals. A stratified approach to sampling was employed in order to assure that sufficient supervisory, professional and managerial appraisals were included. The resultant data base consisted of 535 performance appraisals submitted between July and December of 1981.DATA ANALYSISThe primary results assessing how well Iowa's performance appraisal system is working are reported elsewhere (Daley, 1983). This paper focuses only on those aspects related to the specification of training and development plans.Because Iowa employs a multipurpose approach in the use of performance appraisals it is hardly surprising that there are many instances, 43 percent of those monitored, in which no training and development are specified. This, however, poses the task of somehow separating the cases in which training plans should most definitely be present.A supervisor may choose to list training and development plans for three reasons. First,unrelated to any individual strengths or weaknesses, he may choose to use this performance appraisal section as a memo or reminderof a training activity which all employees are routinely given. The inclusion of such activities in an "official" performance appraisal may serve to provide added political weight in order to insure their being performed; it is all to easy amidst the pressing, day-to-day concerns of administrative firefighting to let training and development activities slide off the edge.Second, supervisors may choose to promote employee development. They may either pickup on some strength an individual already possesses or for which he may have an aptitude and attempt to polish, refine, or enhance those skills. While this is not an automatic relationship, not all "strengths" would require additional or follow-up training, it is important for both organizational and individual well-being. Obviously, such activities benefit the organization by increasing its administrative or technical capacity. One can also expect that the individual employee benefits through material rewards and/or enhanced self-esteem. As such, this represents one of the positive uses to which performance appraisal can be put.Hence, it has an added importance.Finally, training plans should be specified in those instances in which a supervisor notes that an employee "needs improvement." As such remarks may become the basis for an adverse personnel action (reassignment, reduction in grade, removal, etc.) it is legally incumbent that the state demonstrate that it has made a good faith effort to correct such deficienties. Due process demands that public employees not be dealt with a "star chamber" fashion.An employee cannot be expected to correct inadequate work behaviors if he is neither told that they are inadequate nor, it told, not instructed or assisted in how to correct them.In monitoring Iowa's performance appraisals room was allowed to record up to three "strengths" and "areas needing improvement" for each employee. Supervisors tended to list employee strengths twice as often as theydetailed areas needing improvement (1223 to 506),and as one would expect there is a pronounced tendency to note both strengths and areas needing improvement vis-a-vis individual employees (58 percent of the monitored appraisals combine both strengths and areas needing improvement).A count of the number of listed strengths and areas needing improvement was made use of (zero to three for each variable) in analyzing this data. While this fails to measure the importance or significance of each strength or area needing improvement, it was felt that in some way the number of such instances would be related to or a rough indicator of the overall seriousness underlying the specification or training plans (i.e., as the number of instances increased so would the need for a training plan to be specified).Furthermore, training plans were judged not only as to their existence but also as to whether they were deemed to represent a "poor" or "good" relationship between the plan and the listed strengths and areas needing improvement. The nature of this relationship may also be interpreted in terms of partial or full compliance. "Good" plans would be seen as following-up on the listed strengths and/or areas needing improvement and, hence, as complying with the personnel system's intention to use performance appraisals as a guide for training and development.In addition to the above analysis the count of strengths and areas needing improvement were also compared to the rounded performance ratings given to each individual. It was felt that there should be evidence here, too, albeit tangential in nature, of a relationship; those employees garnering more mentions of strengths and/or of fewer areas needing improvement should possess higher ratings.译文:激励是人力资源管理的核心。

附录ATitle: Meeting employeee requirements: Maslow's hierarchy of needs is still areliable guide to motivating staff.Material Source: Industrial Engineer Oct2011 Author:SADRI,GOLNAZ BOWEN, R. CLARKE.Motivation relates to a range of psychological processes that guide an individual toward a goal and cause that person to keep pursuing that goal. Motivation often is described in terms of direction (the choice of one activity over another), intensity (how hard an employee tries) and persistence (how long an employee continues with a behavior, even in the face of obstacles or adverse circumstances). Motivated employees work harder, produce higher quality and greater quantities of work, are more likely to engage in organizational citizenship behaviors, and are less likely to leave the organization in search of more fulfilling opportunities.Competition by companies to attract the most talented individuals has given employees the power to demand more than just a reasonable wage or salary, and there is evidence that companies are starting to listen. A recent survey showed that salary had only a 20 percent impact on job satisfaction. Employees need a range of motivators in order to remain engaged in their work. In response to this demand, employers are looking at how to satisfy their employees on both an extrinsic, financial level as well as an intrinsic, psychological level.Research conducted by the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI) found that in 2004, 92 percent of employer spending for total compensation was on wages and salaries; however, the following year spending on wages fell to 81 percent. In balancing monetary (extrinsic) and nonmonetary (intrinsic) incentives, companies use diverse motivators ranging from competitive monetary compensation and health insurance packages to concierge services and nap times. The continuous endeavor is to be creative in designing a benefits package that attracts and retains quality employees.The theory of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs can be used as a framework to identify the various benefits organizations can offer to satisfy their employees’needs and, in turn, increase revenues and reduce expenses. Psychology professor Abraham Maslow’s theory, proposed in 1943, identifies the five basic human needs that underlie all human activity.Fundamental behaviorMaslow’s hierarchy of needs is one of the fundamental theories of personal motivation. The theory can help organizations design programs to motivate their employees, retain employee loyalty, reduce turnover, recruit quality individuals and ultimately increase productivity and net income. A. Kinicki and R. Kreitner, in their book Organizational Behavior, identify and define the five basic human needs that comprise Maslow’s hierarchy. The five human needs, presented in hierarchical order from the most basic to the most advanced, are physiological, safety, love/belonging, esteem and self-actualization.According to Maslow, each need has to be satisfied substantially in order for an individual to progress to the next level. Managers are able to motivate their employees by providing rewards that help satisfy the need that is operational and prevalent at any point in time. Once a need has been satisfied substantially, it ceases to be a motivator. Then, employees move to the next level in the need hierarchy and work on satisfying those needs.1. Physiological needsMaslow defined the physiological need as the most basic. It includes the need for food, air, water and shelter as well as the need to be active, to rest and to sleep. The most obvious motivational item in this category is monetary compensation, which includes wages and salaries, bonuses, stock options and retirement plans. Wages and salaries make up about 80 percent of what companies spend to compensate their employees. Many individuals would list salary as one of the most important factors when considering a job. Money is a vital part of employees’reward packages and helps fulfill the bulk of their physiological needs. Food, clothing and a place to live can be obtained with the wage or salary a person earns.Providing a comfortable work environment also helps satisfy physiological needs. Clean and fresh air to breathe and an ergonomic workspace, keyboard and mouse can help employees perform without distraction and keep them motivated. Other benefits offered to satisfy employees’physiological needs are free or subsidized cafeterias, regular break times and break rooms stocked with drinks and food.Many companies provide free food for their employees so that they are satisfied on this level and able to engage more fully in their workplace activities. For example, A. Lashinsky in Fortune describes Google’s 11 gourmet cafeterias at its Mountain View, Calif., headquarters where employees can eat for free. Other free (and subsidized) perks that companies provide include car washes, laundry and drycleaning facilities, onsite gyms, exercise classes, massages and discounts on company products. Providing perks for free or at a subsidy helps reduce employees’expenses, which indirectly gives them more discretionary income to purchase other necessary items that help satisfy basic physiological needs and beyond.Another employee benefit that is becoming more important for companies to provide is a healthy work-life balance. Work-life balance is considered a physiological need since one needs to engage in enough nonwork activity and rest to have a healthy lifestyle. Increasingly, employees are considering work-life balance as an important goal and factor the potential for this into their decision of whether to work for a company. It is not uncommon for a job candidate to reject a job offer because it did not include a good work-life balance. Most recruiters say work-life balance considerations are more important now than they were five or 10 years ago.In order to accommodate the work-life balance needs of potential employees and attract the best possible applicants, companies have developed greater levels of flexibility, offering programs like telecommuting, on-site fitness centers, on-site laundry facilities, flexible workweeks and hours, and the ability to work from home a few days a week. In addition, employees seek greater balance through vacation time and extra days off during the holidays to help them enjoy life outside of work, have more balance in their lives and be more productive once they are back at the workplace.2. Safety needThe safety need, as defined by Maslow, consists of the need to be safe from physical and psychological harm. As with physiological needs, wages and salaries help to provide a safe place to live, a basic need. Another factor that is as important as a safe place to live is a sense of security regarding an employee’s health (both physical and mental). According to a study by J. MacDonald from EBRI, corporate America spent $596.5 billion on health benefits in 2005. In prior decades, perhaps only the employee received health insurance. Today, it is expected that companies extend health coverage to family members. In addition, companies are providing disability and life insurance, which adds to the feeling of long-term safety and security and helps build employee trust and loyalty.Another major component used to satisfy safety needs is the provision of retirement plans. Employees derive an overall sense of long-term security with the knowledge that they are able to provide for themselves during their retirement years.The most popular and widely used employer-sponsored plan is the 401(k), in which the employer matches a portion of the employee’s contribution. Companies that do not provide a matching contribution find themselves at a disadvantage in attracting, hiring and retaining the most qualified individuals.Finally, as a way to help with emotional and mental wellbeing, companies are providing employee assistance programs and counseling services. These programs provide psychological security through the use of qualified professionals who can be accessed through a confidential helpline (where employees call in to speak with trained counselors to help them with problems ranging from conflict and stress at the workplace to personality disorders and recovery from addiction) or face-to-face meetings with trained counselors who can help employees cope with their emotional difficulties.3. love/belonging needsThe desire to love and to be loved is the third tier in Maslow’s hierarchy and includes the need for affection and belonging. Individuals who are looking to satisfy their love/belonging needs are likely to join or continue working at a company based on the relationships and social support mechanisms they have established or potentially expect to establish there. Two important sources of social support for employees include co-workers and bosses.Cohesive teams benefit employers as well as employees. Teams are able to produce synergy (output that is greater than the sum of all the individual parts). Thus, a company can become more efficient and develop new and creative ideas by allowing employees to collaborate and work in teams. This is a win-win situation for the company since it also will help satisfy the belonging needs of its employees. Other programs that companies have implemented to meet the belonging need of employees are company luncheons, banquets, retreats, company-sponsored sports teams, clubs, mentoring and programs that allow employees to bring children and pets to work. In addition, open plan offices and break rooms where employees have opportunities to meet and interact with one another help satisfy belonging needs.4. esteem needMaslow’s esteem need includes the needs for responsibility, reputation, prestige, recognition and respect from others. These, in turn, lead to self-confidence and strengthen an employee’s motivation and productivity. Research has shown that lack of recognition from their direct supervisor is one of the main reasons employeesleave their jobs. Receiving recognition and praise are fundamental motivators across all levels of employees. Recognition and praise help an individual know that people appreciate what that person has accomplished. Again, self-confidence is strengthened and motivation is created for continued hard work. A study conducted by G. Graham at the Barton School of Business at Wichita State University found that 63 percent of American workers ranked recognition as a meaningful incentive.Research also shows that many individuals will join or stay with a company to satisfy their esteem needs through a sense of accomplishment in their work. Employees like to feel that their work contributes to establishing a good reputation for them. To help foster these feelings, companies can implement many simple and cost-effective programs. Providing business cards with the employee’s name and title produces an emotional appeal, a sense of connection and pride in the organization. Many companies have started creating societies or prestigious groups that include the best technical professionals in order to keep their employees motivated.Ambitious employees want to feel challenged and have opportunities to advance. They want a defined work role with distinct career possibilities. For these employees, titles and promotions are important. In small companies, if there is no vertical ladder to climb, then companies need to delegate responsibilities to help their employees with career development and keep them engaged.5. Self-actualization needThe fifth and final tier of Maslow’s hierarchy is the need for self-actualization, which is the need for self-fulfillment and to become the best one is capable of becoming. Employees who significantly have satisfied the four lower needs now are looking to better themselves, those around them and the world as a whole. There is a sense that once these needs are engaged, they likely will become stronger as they are fed and satisfied. Therefore, this layer within the hierarchy is used to inspire employees and to help them perform at their highest levels.One of the basic ways in which companies can help their employees begin to satisfy this need is to offer tuition-reimbursement programs and encourage enrollment in classes and courses related to their job responsibilities. Education assistance plans help employees keep pace with the ever-changing work environment as well as provide valuable opportunities for personal and professional growth and development. Further-more, employees will bring new skills back into the workplace that will add value to the company.Another benefit is allowing a paid sabbatical, typically ranging from a few weeks to a few months, in which the employee can participate in a humanitarian cause or work toward a lifelong goal. R. Levering and M. Moskowitz in Fortune detail REI’s practice of allowing a four-week sabbatical after 15 years of service. Employees use the time to tackle an outdoor goal, such as climbing Mount Everest. Sabbaticals also are offered by most educational institutions to support faculty in developing research agendas while taking a break from teaching classes. The result of a sabbatical is mental and physical renewal, which brings with it a renewed energy for the employee’s work, resulting in greater productivity upon a return to the workplace.This is a great opportunity to get out of the office and partner with co-workers to do charity work, which also helps meet employee needs for love and belonging. Another way to help satisfy the need for self-actualization and motivate employees is to match dollar for dollar (or a percentage) of employees’contributions to a charitable organization. This also helps build company loyalty.附录B标题:会议员工要求:马斯洛需求层次仍然是一个可靠的指导鼓励员工的理论。

STUDY CASE(企业员工激励.案例研究)国外作者:Cristian Valentin HAPENCIUC,Andrei-Alexandru MOROŞAN 文献出处:《The Annals of The "Ştefan cel Mare" University of Suceava》, 2010字数统计:英文2105单词,11151字符;中文3612汉字外文文献:EMPLOYEE MOTIV ATION IN THE COMPANY.STUDY CASEAbstractA firm’s performance is in a direct link with the resources it involves, namely material, financial and human resources. If in the case of the material and financial resources the diagnosis and improvement processes are relatively simple, the human resources imply more complex issues. The first condition for a firm to obtain performance (in terms of human resources) is recruiting staff with appropriate qualifications. But conforming to this criterion does not lead automatically to the elimination of human resources issues. Currently, the vast majority of firms employ qualified personnel with experience in the field, yet many of them record an inadequate performance in human resources. This is due to staff motivation. In addition to employing qualified personnel with experience it is necessary that it be motivated adequately. But motivation can be achieved through a variety of forms, salary bonuses and benefits such as cell phones, cars, products at promotional prices, program flexibility and more, all having a different impact.This article explores the effectiveness of various manifestations of motivation,trying to determine its optimum structure. For this purpose an analysis was made of a firm that obtained a significant improvement in performance, while maintaining material and financial resources constant. The company applies many ways to motivate staff, so it was possible to analyze the impact of each one. Following this analysis an indicative hierarchy of motivational methods was created. The results of this study can be used and adapted in any companies that want to improve the quality of their human resources.Keywords: human resources, motivational methods, personnel, motivation, motivation structureINTRODUCTIONMotivation is defined as the action of orienting ones behavior to a specific goal. There are a lot of theories that try to explain, how and why motivation function as is does. The simplest explication of how motivation functions is “the need to minimize physical pain and maximize pleasure”, there are a lot of needs that may act as a motivator (e.g. eating, resting, or a desired object, hobby, goal, state of being, ideal). Other theories attribute motivation to less- apparent reasons such as altruism, selfishness, morality, or avoiding mortality. (Seligman M, 1995)INCENTIVE THEORYThis theory is one of the oldest, and it states that presenting a reward (tangible or intangible) after the occurrence of a certain action will cause the behavior to occur again. The theory is based on the fact that the subjects mind will associate a positive meaning to the behavior. (Maslow A., 1970).The time passed since the occurrence of the action and the moment when the subject is presented with the reward is also very important, it has been shown that for shot periods the impact is greater than for longer ones. If this cycle of action–reward is repeated it is possible to convert that action into a habit. (Goldthorpe, J.H. and others, 1968)This theory depicts motivation as a very simple process, but in reality there are alot of factors that influence it. There are a lot of motivational techniques and it is hard to decide which one is the optimum for a given situation. (Kerr S., 1995)EMPLOYEE MOTIV ATIONOne of the most important uses of motivation is in a company. Organizations employ workers to perform certain tasks; these workers need to be motivated in order to perform their tasks with maximum productivity. The traditional motivator for a worker is his salary, but in many cases that isn`t enough. Companies use a lot innovating tactics to keep their productivity at a maximum level. Some of them imply material rewards, others imply psychological motivators. ( Weightman, J., 2008) Analyzing from the perspective of the motivational factor we can speak of two types of motivation:• Intrinsic motivation is generated by a factor that comes from within the subject (beliefs, feeling that what he does is important, modality, the perspective of learning something new).• Extrinsic motivation is generated by a factor that comes from the exterior (e.g. salary, material rewards, good reviews). (Lepper, M.R. and others, 1973)A very important theory in the field of motivation is Maslow`s pyramid. In his work Maslow has created a hierarchy of needs felt by an individual (Maslow A., 1970) . At the base of his pyramid Maslow put physiological needs; for an individual found under their constraint money is a perfect motivator. But after these need are satisfied the individual will advance on Maslow`s hierarchy and his needs will change, this implies the fact that the motivator will change as well ( Goldthorpe, J.H. and others 1968). At higher levels of Maslow`s pyramid, are placed needs that are satisfied with praise, respect, recognition and empowerment, money having a small impact. ( Steinmetz, L., 1983).EXPERIMENTSGiven the extremely important functions played by motivation and its complexity, over time there have been a lot of researches and experiments. One of theseexperiments was made by Sam Gluxberg. Gruxberg determined from this experiment that extrinsic motivations (such as material rewards), put pressure on individuals, having negative effects on creativity. For tasks whose solution is obvious extrinsic motivations are working as they should increasing performance, but for tasks whose solution is more complex, extrinsic motivation backfires, having negative effects on performance.Given Gluxberg conclusions in 2005 a team of researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, led by D. Arily conducted a similar experiment. The MIT researchers conclusions were similar. Some researchers suggested moving the experiment to another country, where the standard of living would be lower, this suggestion being made on the basis that the U.S. standard of living is quite high and extrinsic motivations (such as material rewards) have lost some of their effect. As a result a set of research was conducted in India, a country with a low living standard and a sum of money which is irrelevant to an American, is significant for an Indian. In India the results of the experiment were identical to those in the U.S.. Therefore it is not a question of living standards. The conclusion of the two experiments is that if the task is complex the motivation uses must be intrinsic (within the employee) and if the task is simple the motivation uses must be extrinsic. But this conclusion is lacking applicability. It is hard to believe that an employee operating only on intrinsic motivation will perform tasks in the interest o a company for a period of time. In order to prove this point of view we take a look at Malov`s theory.According to Maslow's pyramid individuals will be motivated in the first phase of basic needs (needs such as food, clothing, security), those on the first two levels of his pyramid. Only after these two needs will be satisfied they can advance. In an attempt to meet these two basic needs, individuals will be attracted to extrinsic motivations. Later, after satisfying the first two levels, they will advance. Only in this second phase they will present a greater openness to intrinsic motivation. It is worth mentioning that in this second phase they will have to maintain the first two needs at an optimum level of satisfaction, therefore they will maintain a certain sensibility to extrinsic motivation (Maslow A., 1970). Gluxberg used in the experiment subjects,who most likely had past the first three levels of the pyramid, therefore they were not affected by strong constraints such as lack of food or security.If we were to superpose the two theories, that of Maslow and Gluxberg we get a more complex scenario, which would be more realistic. Individuals in the first phase will be very sensitive to extrinsic motivations, once these needs on the first level of Maslow's pyramid are met, their sensitivity will change to intrinsic motivation (this sensitivity will vary in direct proportion to the level attained in the hierarchical pyramid). But after this shift, the sensitivity for intrinsic motivation will vary depending on the complexity of tasks individuals have to perform. A graphical representation is depicted in graph 1 and graph 2.Also, an employee can carry out activities with a medium or high level of creativity only when his needs are located at least at the third level (or higher) on Maslow's pyramid. In the motivation process it is very important to take into account the specific work undertaken. Employees are extrinsically motivated (rewards) and for those carrying out a complex task which requires cognitive and creative functionsit is recommended the use of intrinsic motivation, extrinsic showing multiple limitations. Gluxberg's conclusion is a bit naive and inappropriate application (for cognitive and creative activities to relate to intrinsic motivation, extrinsic ones having a negative effect), but combined with Maslow's theory, it takes on a new dimension that can have great practical utility.STUDY CASETo demonstrate the functionality of the above principles, we conducted a study on a company with 60 employees. We chose a company that has two divisions: automotive service (35 staff) and an auto sales (25 employees), the choice was based on the consideration that the service division performs tasks does not require much cognitive and creative functions (vehicle diagnoses being provided by a computer, other operations being described by the vehicle service manual), and the sales unit witch perform opposite task, they must be very creative in direct marketing, addressing customers so as to persuade them to opt for products distributed by the company. Another consideration on which this company was chosen is the forms of motivation applied. In table 1 these forms of motivation are enumerated.It is worth mentioning that the company allocates similar resources for the two forms of motivation (graph 3).Within this company a survey was conducted among all employees, trying to determine the effectiveness of various forms of motivation. Employees were applied a questionnaire which contained several questions, one section include a list of all forms of motivation applies, they were asked to tick a degree of effectiveness for etch one, from their point of view. The results of this query support Gluxberg theory, the employees from the sales department have agreed intrinsic motivation is more effective than extrinsic motivation, while those in the service department had a reverse reaction.If we were to relate only to Gluxberg`s theory the general motivation of employees from this company should be low, due to the fact that this company applies the two forms of motivation equally. But the same survey also had a section to quantify the overall motivation of employees (graph 4).As shown, Gluxberg`s theory is not valid in practice. The experiment studiedmotivation isolated from other factors. If we were to relate the conclusions derived from overlapping Gluxberg with Maslow's theory, the results are validated. The company applies the two forms of motivation (approximately equal) and obtains a relatively good motivation (approximately 75% of employees).As a possibility of improving employee motivation in this company, it is recommended to easily apply the two forms of motivation distinct among the two divisions (graph 5). It's hard to say which would be optimal; it must be found by repeated tests.CONCLUSIONSThe results of a series of experiments conducted under controlled conditions are not always appropriate to be applied in practice, these experiments provide very important contributions, but they should be correlated with both existing theory and the issues identified in the companies. Gluxberg's experiments have made very important contributions on forms of motivation that should be applied in modern society. But, the solutions given by his experiments, can`t be applied in practice, they are not taking into account all the factors that act on an employee. If his conclusions are related to existing theory they become feasible, consequently, suited to the situation found in companies. Managers must take into account the situation of employees, the needs that they show (placing them on a certain level of Maslow's pyramid), but also the specific work performed by them (involving cognitive and creative activities or not). Following these findings, managers are able to identify thepredominant form of motivation recommended for their company. And then through successive adjustments to identify the optimal point (these adjustments are necessary, because economic theory provides an indicative distribution, every company and every employee has certain features that are hard to take into account).中文译文:企业员工激励.案例研究摘要企业的绩效与其涉及的资源,即物质、财务和人力资源直接相关。

In recent years, the neural science, biology and evolution of interdisciplinary research areas such as psychology, humans have told us four basic emotional needs, and the force driving or what we all the basis of their behavior. The empirical research shows that, but the employee can create better performance. Therefore, to motivate employees, managers should understand the driving force and can take what measures to meet the driving force.Acquirement: Get people always try to get some things, to increase the scarcity of his happiness. When the force satisfied, we will feel happy. Conversely, it will feel dissatisfied. This force is often the relative (we always compare themselves with others), and it was difficult to satisfy (we always want more).Combination: Many animals are combined with their parents and relatives or close relationship between population, but establish the relationship between human expanded into larger groups, such as organization, community and nation. "Driving", people will generate loving, caring, strong positive emotions, etc. Conversely, it will appear as negative emotional loneliness cynical. In the work environment, when the staff for oneself is a member of the organization are proud of their motivation and will greatly improve, And when they had rebelled against their will and morale.Understand: We are eager to understand about the world around them, and then put forward various theories to explain all things, and put forward the reasonable action and countermeasures. When things seem pointless, we will feel frustrated, While looking for answers to questions, the challenge will let us full of passion. In the working environment, workers work done if challenging, and allows them to grow and learn, they will be incentive, And when they do look no value or no future, will be demoralized.Defense: In the face of threats defense, to protect themselves, to protect our property and achievements, family and friends, thoughts and beliefs, it is natural to us. This force is rooted in the "fight but fled" basic response, this is common, but most animals to humans, it not only the offensive or defensive behavior, but also to build a system to promote seek justice, clear goals and intention, and allow people to speak freely. These forces have been fulfilled, people think and self-confidence otherwise will fear and hate strong negative affection.These four driving are independent of each other, no secondary, also cannot substitute mutually. To fully motivate employees, managers must satisfy all four driving force. In fact, every emotional force can use different organizations leverage to satisfy the most effectively.Reward System: "gain" the most easily through the organization of driving system of rewards. Of course, it also depends on the organization's reward system can effectively define employee performance, will reward with different performance, and give the best chance of promotion of personnel.Culture: If it meet the "combination" force among employees, cultivating strong friendship, the most effective way is to establish a promote teamwork, cooperation, open and friendly culture.Post designing: It is satisfied with “understanding” force that it is the optimal way to design a meaningful and have fun and challenging positions.Performance management and resource allocation process fairness, credible, transparent, performance management and resource allocation process, help satisfy people's "defensive driving".In addition, the direct supervisor for employees and motivational degrees plays an important role as organizational policy. Although do not expect to staff the whole company boss incentive system, culture, post design or management system exerting significant effect, but they clearly superior in their influence within the scope of a certain power. For example, in recognition, managers can select and tasks, the rewards and employee performance.In the organization of managers only under the condition of the utmost efforts to satisfy all four driving force, the employee can most effectively improve the incentive effect on employees, improve the organizational performance.Copyright © 2008 Harvard Business School Publishing Corporation.

Once the excellent employees leave, the enterprise will hit. If hope to help enterprises package and career development plan, training programs, like tinkering with the free flow of his talent market today, affirmation in isolation. Now, we have a choice: that is attractive to market-oriented strategy. This strategy, long-term, defies generalizations for employee loyalty is neither possible nor necessary, the enterprise can definitely need to keep employees and leave them what how attractive scheme, will focus on the talent to keep up.Today, many enterprises in staff loyalty are dependent on salary, but many attractive salary is a kind of mechanism. Other personnel loss can be used to reduce the method is: the post to design - the United States through the heavy UPS tedious work load from the driver package for other employee, stripping there was more to keep the driver, To cultivate employees work or specific project team loyalty, Hire skills in talent market demand is not high on the staff, The staff in the work place much temptation job-hopping, And other companies to provide staff into pairs across the company's career path. If there is no way to prevent loss of personnel, the enterprise can also use outsourcing, strengthen job, workwill hire employees and standardization, cross training around theshort-term organizational work, etc.If the past management methods of retaining staff to maintain a fixed water dam, so the new management methods are more like a flowing rivers, dredge its goal is to prevent water flow, but the flow direction and speed control.Copyright © 2003 Harvard Business School Publishing Corporation.

In the human resources management of numerous content, incentive question is one important content of. Incentive scientific or not, relates directly to the stand or fall of human resource use. Many enterprises have a brain drain phenomenon, cannot keep talents restricts enterprise development has become one of the important factors. Effective incentive is the key to this question. Any enterprise is by the people to manage, and be in enterprise middleman's enthusiasm height, is crucial to the success of the enterprise decision factors. So, for companies to, its vigorous vitality from the employee's infinite vigor, how to motivate employees of energy? Must on employees effective incentive. Therefore, the enterprise human resources management core is to incentive mechanism as lever, arousing the enthusiasm of the employees, initiative.Managers deal with employees at issue, must have a fair mind, should not have any prejudices and preferences. Although some staff may allow you to enjoy, some you do not enjoy, but at work, must be treated equally and should not have any of the words and acts of injustice.1 Stimulate the transfer of staff from the results of equal to equal opportunities and strive to create a level playing field.For example, Wu Shihong at IBM from a clean start with the people, step by step to the sales clerk to the district person in charge, General Manager of China, what are the reasons for this? In addition to individual efforts, but also said that IBM should be a good corporate culture to a stage of development, that is, everyone has unlimited opportunities for development, as long as there is capacity there will be space for the development of self-implementation, which is to do a lot of companies are not, this system will undoubtedly inspire a great role of the staff.2 Inspire the best time to grasp.- Takes aim at pre-order incentive the mission to advance incentives.- Have Difficulties employees, desire to have strong demand, to give the care and timely encouragement.3 Want a fair and accurate incentive, reward- Sound, perfect performance appraisal system to ensure appropriate assessment scale, fair and reasonable.- Have to overcome there is thinning of the human pro-wind.- In reference salary, promotions, awards, etc.involve the vital interests of employees on hot issues in order to be fair.Workers and employees in order to double the capacity of investors, more concerned about the outcome of business operations and improve the initiative.Modern human resources management experience and research shows that employees are involved in modern management requirements and aspirations, and create and provide opportunities for all employees is to mobilize them to participate in the management of an effective way to enthusiasm.

The scope is limited in that it excludes any consideration as to whether these plans are actually implemented. Our interest focuses only on the extent to which supervisors endeavor to assist employees in correcting orovercoming weaknesses and in enhancing or developing perceived strengths. The findings reported here are based on a 1981 monitoring of the performance appraisal system used by the State of Iowa.As civil service reform has been instituted in one jurisdiction after another in order to further assure objective, performance based personnel practices, performance appraisal has emerged as one of the key issues in the personnel management of the 1980s. This heightened sense of importance and seriousness has, in turn, led to a renewed interest in the study of the actual workings of performance appraisal systems.The uses to which performance appraisal can be put are myriad. The recent Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 serves as a model in this respect. Here we find enunciated what may be taken as the typical orientation toward the uses of performance appraisal, recommending that personnel managers and supervisors "use the results of performance appraisal as. a basis for training, rewarding, reassigning, promoting, reducing in grade, retaining, and removing employees." Performance appraisal systems can also serve to validate personnel testing and selection procedures, although such systems are themselves also subject to affirmative action validation requirements.The economic recessions of the 1970s and 1980s have placed significant restraints on these uses, however. The imposition of hiring freezes, the diminishment of promotional opportunities, the advent of reductions-in-force, and the near abandonment of merit pay provisions by financially strapped governmental entities have contributed to the loss of enthusiasm for performance appraisal in many quarters. Under such circumstances, performance appraisal一limited in its use to the more negative functions of employee evaluation-takes on the dreaded image ascribed to them by Douglas McGregor (1957).In their search to salvage something positive from amidst thesecircumstances personnel specialists have alighted upon the use of performance appraisal as a guide for employee training and development. This offers them the opportunity of providing public employees with a service that employees view as beneficial. Although public employees have shown little confidence in specific performance appraisal systems or in the managerial abilities of those responsible for their implementation (McGregor, 1957; Levinson, 1976; Nalbandian,1981), they have tended to demonstrate a more favorable attitude when the purpose of performance appraisal has been perceived to be employee development (Decotiis and Petit, 1978;Cascio, 1982).This, of course, still poses a significant problem to a multipurpose system such as that found in the State of Iowa. Disenchantment or distrust with one aspect of the performance appraisal system may significantly contribute to the weakening of the entire evaluation system.THE IOWA PERFORMANCE EVALUATION SYSTEMIn all public service systems employees are evaluated periodically; most often this is done informally. The introduction of formal systems of performance appraisal, usually in addition to continued informal assessment, is a relatively recent event. Formal systems of performance appraisal are designed to provide a systematic and objective measure of individual job performance and/or potential for development.Although the use of formal performance appraisal in Iowa can be traced back at least to the early 1950s (limited, for the most part, to such rudimentary methods as the essay or graphic rating scale), these occurred within a fragmented setting. Individual departments and agencies retained descretion over the choice of such personnel practices until well into the 1960s.Under Governor Harold Hughes (1963一1969) a number of efforts were undertaken tostrengthen the executive. Among these reforms was the creation of the State Merit System of Personnel Administration, administered by the Iowa Merit Employment Department, in 1967. Even so, there were numerous exemptions limiting the extent of its coverage, both in terms of separate merit systems outside its jurisdiction and of patronage appointments. The executive reform movement was continued throughout the lengthy service of Governor Robert Ray (1969-1983). Strong executive support was placed behind the development of the personnel system. Governor Ray unsuccessfully advocated expanding the IMED jurisdiction through the elimination of the existing coverage exemptions and by integrating the separate merit systems into an executive personnel department. Notwithstanding the somewhat 1imited success of recent Iowa governors, the basis for a professionalized public service was established during those years.One reflection of this basis is the fact that the use of a statewide appraisal-by-objectives system was inaugurated in 1977. The implementation of this system followed the introduction of the management-by-objectives concept among a number of the larger state agencies.Since appraisal-by-objectives is a specific application or extension of the MBO approach, it was felt that by this means executive support for performance appraisal could be more readily obtained. It is known, of course, that the lack of managerial support is a significant contributing factor in the failure of many performance appraisal systems. The Iowa performance evaluation system is an ideal-typical descriptive example of the appraisal-by-objectives technique. The introduction of this approach in 1977 was accompained by a series of training sessions (Burke, 1977) and supported with supervisory and employee handbooks.However, training for new supervisors and periodic "refresher courses" appear to have been given a low priority in Iowa, as is generally the case in public sector personnel systems. Iowa's use of appraisal-by-objectives is designed as a participatory system. Employee participation is a hallmark found among most modern management approaches and has been linked to successful public sector performance appraisal systems (Lovrich, et al,1981).The Iowa performance evaluation process is initiated with joint completion of "Section A:Responsibilities and Standards/Results Expected" (also referred to as the "job description")by the supervisor and employee. This is the first of three sections included in the performante appraisal form/process. Section A is completed at the beginning of the annual appraisal period while sections B and C are written up at its conclusion. The employee is to be given prior notice of the conference and supplied copies of previous evaluation for use as guides. Eight to ten major responsibilities (four to five is the norm) are to be selected and, written down in a results-oriented format with specific standards by which the achievement of these results are to be measured. These individual responsibilities are weighted through the use of an additive formula which factors in the time spent on each task and the evaluation of its importance or the consequence of error (a five point Likert-type scale is used for both). The overall employee rating is the weighted average of these individual responsibility ratings(also based on a five point scale).In the event that these responsibilities need to be subject to modification due to changing circumstances, a new Section A would be prepared by the supervisor and employee. During the course of the evaluation period the supervisor is also encouraged to use a "critical incident" approach. Both formal (with written copy inserted into theemployee's file) and informal communications between employees and supervisors are encouraged. For negative incidents it is important that a record of corrective action be documented; employees must be notified if they are doing something wrong and the supervision must indicate how they can correct their behavior.At the end of the evaluation period, again following advanced notice, the employee and supervisor meet to discuss the employee's job performance in light of the responsibilities outlined in the employee's Section A. Worksheets are used at this meeting with a formal evaluation prepared only afterward. At this appraisal interview the supervisor discusses "SectionB: Performance Review/Rating" with the employee. Employees are also given the opportunity to formally comment on the final evaluation form. Historically only five percent do so,of which under two percent can be classified as negative comments."Section C: Summary of Total Job Performance and Future Performance Plans" is also completed at this time. Basically, this is an essay evaluation. The supervisor is provided the opportunity to list the employee's "areas of strength- and those "areas needing improvement." In the latter instances "training and developmental plans" for correcting these are supposed to be filed.DATA COLLECTIONIn conjunction with its implementation efforts the Iowa Merit Employment Department engaged in a two-year monitoring of its appraisal-by-objectives evaluation system. The results of this monitoring project, involving the sampling of performance appraisals submitted in between July 1978 and December 1979, were reported to state officials in January 1980.The first monitoring project led to a number of minor changes in the performance evaluation system. For most part thesemodifications represented "word changes;" e.g., instead of listing"employee weaknesses," "areas needing improvement" were prescribed.This study is based on the results of a second monitoring project conducted by the IMED.The questions addressed in this study were, in part, raised by the first monitoring project.While the first monitoring focused primarily on the basic or general implementation of the performance evaluation system (i.e., was there compliance with the mandated requirements?), the second is more concerned with how well it is working. The format used here is that of "action research" or "troubleshooting" (Starling, 1979, pp. 495一514; Rossi and Freeman, 1982). IMED staff served as judges who assessed the qualitative aspects of performance appraisals. A stratified approach to sampling was employed in order to assure that sufficient supervisory, professional and managerial appraisals were included. The resultant data base consisted of 535 performance appraisals submitted between July and December of 1981.DATA ANALYSISThe primary results assessing how well Iowa's performance appraisal system is working are reported elsewhere (Daley, 1983). This paper focuses only on those aspects related to the specification of training and development plans.Because Iowa employs a multipurpose approach in the use of performance appraisals it is hardly surprising that there are many instances, 43 percent of those monitored, in which no training and development are specified. This, however, poses the task of somehow separating the cases in which training plans should most definitely be present.A supervisor may choose to list training and development plans for three reasons. First,unrelated to any individual strengths or weaknesses, he may choose to use this performance appraisal section as a memo or reminderof a training activity which all employees are routinely given. The inclusion of such activities in an "official" performance appraisal may serve to provide added political weight in order to insure their being performed; it is all to easy amidst the pressing, day-to-day concerns of administrative firefighting to let training and development activities slide off the edge.Second, supervisors may choose to promote employee development. They may either pickup on some strength an individual already possesses or for which he may have an aptitude and attempt to polish, refine, or enhance those skills. While this is not an automatic relationship, not all "strengths" would require additional or follow-up training, it is important for both organizational and individual well-being. Obviously, such activities benefit the organization by increasing its administrative or technical capacity. One can also expect that the individual employee benefits through material rewards and/or enhanced self-esteem. As such, this represents one of the positive uses to which performance appraisal can be put.Hence, it has an added importance.Finally, training plans should be specified in those instances in which a supervisor notes that an employee "needs improvement." As such remarks may become the basis for an adverse personnel action (reassignment, reduction in grade, removal, etc.) it is legally incumbent that the state demonstrate that it has made a good faith effort to correct such deficienties. Due process demands that public employees not be dealt with a "star chamber" fashion.An employee cannot be expected to correct inadequate work behaviors if he is neither told that they are inadequate nor, it told, not instructed or assisted in how to correct them.In monitoring Iowa's performance appraisals room was allowed to record up to three "strengths" and "areas needing improvement" for each employee. Supervisors tended to list employee strengths twice as often as theydetailed areas needing improvement (1223 to 506),and as one would expect there is a pronounced tendency to note both strengths and areas needing improvement vis-a-vis individual employees (58 percent of the monitored appraisals combine both strengths and areas needing improvement).A count of the number of listed strengths and areas needing improvement was made use of (zero to three for each variable) in analyzing this data. While this fails to measure the importance or significance of each strength or area needing improvement, it was felt that in some way the number of such instances would be related to or a rough indicator of the overall seriousness underlying the specification or training plans (i.e., as the number of instances increased so would the need for a training plan to be specified).Furthermore, training plans were judged not only as to their existence but also as to whether they were deemed to represent a "poor" or "good" relationship between the plan and the listed strengths and areas needing improvement. The nature of this relationship may also be interpreted in terms of partial or full compliance. "Good" plans would be seen as following-up on the listed strengths and/or areas needing improvement and, hence, as complying with the personnel system's intention to use performance appraisals as a guide for training and development.In addition to the above analysis the count of strengths and areas needing improvement were also compared to the rounded performance ratings given to each individual. It was felt that there should be evidence here, too, albeit tangential in nature, of a relationship; those employees garnering more mentions of strengths and/or of fewer areas needing improvement should possess higher ratings.译文:激励是人力资源管理的核心。

附录ATitle: Meeting employeee requirements: Maslow's hierarchy of needs is still areliable guide to motivating staff.Material Source: Industrial Engineer Oct2011 Author:SADRI,GOLNAZ BOWEN, R. CLARKE.Motivation relates to a range of psychological processes that guide an individual toward a goal and cause that person to keep pursuing that goal. Motivation often is described in terms of direction (the choice of one activity over another), intensity (how hard an employee tries) and persistence (how long an employee continues with a behavior, even in the face of obstacles or adverse circumstances). Motivated employees work harder, produce higher quality and greater quantities of work, are more likely to engage in organizational citizenship behaviors, and are less likely to leave the organization in search of more fulfilling opportunities.Competition by companies to attract the most talented individuals has given employees the power to demand more than just a reasonable wage or salary, and there is evidence that companies are starting to listen. A recent survey showed that salary had only a 20 percent impact on job satisfaction. Employees need a range of motivators in order to remain engaged in their work. In response to this demand, employers are looking at how to satisfy their employees on both an extrinsic, financial level as well as an intrinsic, psychological level.Research conducted by the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI) found that in 2004, 92 percent of employer spending for total compensation was on wages and salaries; however, the following year spending on wages fell to 81 percent. In balancing monetary (extrinsic) and nonmonetary (intrinsic) incentives, companies use diverse motivators ranging from competitive monetary compensation and health insurance packages to concierge services and nap times. The continuous endeavor is to be creative in designing a benefits package that attracts and retains quality employees.The theory of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs can be used as a framework to identify the various benefits organizations can offer to satisfy their employees’needs and, in turn, increase revenues and reduce expenses. Psychology professor Abraham Maslow’s theory, proposed in 1943, identifies the five basic human needs that underlie all human activity.Fundamental behaviorMaslow’s hierarchy of needs is one of the fundamental theories of personal motivation. The theory can help organizations design programs to motivate their employees, retain employee loyalty, reduce turnover, recruit quality individuals and ultimately increase productivity and net income. A. Kinicki and R. Kreitner, in their book Organizational Behavior, identify and define the five basic human needs that comprise Maslow’s hierarchy. The five human needs, presented in hierarchical order from the most basic to the most advanced, are physiological, safety, love/belonging, esteem and self-actualization.According to Maslow, each need has to be satisfied substantially in order for an individual to progress to the next level. Managers are able to motivate their employees by providing rewards that help satisfy the need that is operational and prevalent at any point in time. Once a need has been satisfied substantially, it ceases to be a motivator. Then, employees move to the next level in the need hierarchy and work on satisfying those needs.1. Physiological needsMaslow defined the physiological need as the most basic. It includes the need for food, air, water and shelter as well as the need to be active, to rest and to sleep. The most obvious motivational item in this category is monetary compensation, which includes wages and salaries, bonuses, stock options and retirement plans. Wages and salaries make up about 80 percent of what companies spend to compensate their employees. Many individuals would list salary as one of the most important factors when considering a job. Money is a vital part of employees’reward packages and helps fulfill the bulk of their physiological needs. Food, clothing and a place to live can be obtained with the wage or salary a person earns.Providing a comfortable work environment also helps satisfy physiological needs. Clean and fresh air to breathe and an ergonomic workspace, keyboard and mouse can help employees perform without distraction and keep them motivated. Other benefits offered to satisfy employees’physiological needs are free or subsidized cafeterias, regular break times and break rooms stocked with drinks and food.Many companies provide free food for their employees so that they are satisfied on this level and able to engage more fully in their workplace activities. For example, A. Lashinsky in Fortune describes Google’s 11 gourmet cafeterias at its Mountain View, Calif., headquarters where employees can eat for free. Other free (and subsidized) perks that companies provide include car washes, laundry and drycleaning facilities, onsite gyms, exercise classes, massages and discounts on company products. Providing perks for free or at a subsidy helps reduce employees’expenses, which indirectly gives them more discretionary income to purchase other necessary items that help satisfy basic physiological needs and beyond.Another employee benefit that is becoming more important for companies to provide is a healthy work-life balance. Work-life balance is considered a physiological need since one needs to engage in enough nonwork activity and rest to have a healthy lifestyle. Increasingly, employees are considering work-life balance as an important goal and factor the potential for this into their decision of whether to work for a company. It is not uncommon for a job candidate to reject a job offer because it did not include a good work-life balance. Most recruiters say work-life balance considerations are more important now than they were five or 10 years ago.In order to accommodate the work-life balance needs of potential employees and attract the best possible applicants, companies have developed greater levels of flexibility, offering programs like telecommuting, on-site fitness centers, on-site laundry facilities, flexible workweeks and hours, and the ability to work from home a few days a week. In addition, employees seek greater balance through vacation time and extra days off during the holidays to help them enjoy life outside of work, have more balance in their lives and be more productive once they are back at the workplace.2. Safety needThe safety need, as defined by Maslow, consists of the need to be safe from physical and psychological harm. As with physiological needs, wages and salaries help to provide a safe place to live, a basic need. Another factor that is as important as a safe place to live is a sense of security regarding an employee’s health (both physical and mental). According to a study by J. MacDonald from EBRI, corporate America spent $596.5 billion on health benefits in 2005. In prior decades, perhaps only the employee received health insurance. Today, it is expected that companies extend health coverage to family members. In addition, companies are providing disability and life insurance, which adds to the feeling of long-term safety and security and helps build employee trust and loyalty.Another major component used to satisfy safety needs is the provision of retirement plans. Employees derive an overall sense of long-term security with the knowledge that they are able to provide for themselves during their retirement years.The most popular and widely used employer-sponsored plan is the 401(k), in which the employer matches a portion of the employee’s contribution. Companies that do not provide a matching contribution find themselves at a disadvantage in attracting, hiring and retaining the most qualified individuals.Finally, as a way to help with emotional and mental wellbeing, companies are providing employee assistance programs and counseling services. These programs provide psychological security through the use of qualified professionals who can be accessed through a confidential helpline (where employees call in to speak with trained counselors to help them with problems ranging from conflict and stress at the workplace to personality disorders and recovery from addiction) or face-to-face meetings with trained counselors who can help employees cope with their emotional difficulties.3. love/belonging needsThe desire to love and to be loved is the third tier in Maslow’s hierarchy and includes the need for affection and belonging. Individuals who are looking to satisfy their love/belonging needs are likely to join or continue working at a company based on the relationships and social support mechanisms they have established or potentially expect to establish there. Two important sources of social support for employees include co-workers and bosses.Cohesive teams benefit employers as well as employees. Teams are able to produce synergy (output that is greater than the sum of all the individual parts). Thus, a company can become more efficient and develop new and creative ideas by allowing employees to collaborate and work in teams. This is a win-win situation for the company since it also will help satisfy the belonging needs of its employees. Other programs that companies have implemented to meet the belonging need of employees are company luncheons, banquets, retreats, company-sponsored sports teams, clubs, mentoring and programs that allow employees to bring children and pets to work. In addition, open plan offices and break rooms where employees have opportunities to meet and interact with one another help satisfy belonging needs.4. esteem needMaslow’s esteem need includes the needs for responsibility, reputation, prestige, recognition and respect from others. These, in turn, lead to self-confidence and strengthen an employee’s motivation and productivity. Research has shown that lack of recognition from their direct supervisor is one of the main reasons employeesleave their jobs. Receiving recognition and praise are fundamental motivators across all levels of employees. Recognition and praise help an individual know that people appreciate what that person has accomplished. Again, self-confidence is strengthened and motivation is created for continued hard work. A study conducted by G. Graham at the Barton School of Business at Wichita State University found that 63 percent of American workers ranked recognition as a meaningful incentive.Research also shows that many individuals will join or stay with a company to satisfy their esteem needs through a sense of accomplishment in their work. Employees like to feel that their work contributes to establishing a good reputation for them. To help foster these feelings, companies can implement many simple and cost-effective programs. Providing business cards with the employee’s name and title produces an emotional appeal, a sense of connection and pride in the organization. Many companies have started creating societies or prestigious groups that include the best technical professionals in order to keep their employees motivated.Ambitious employees want to feel challenged and have opportunities to advance. They want a defined work role with distinct career possibilities. For these employees, titles and promotions are important. In small companies, if there is no vertical ladder to climb, then companies need to delegate responsibilities to help their employees with career development and keep them engaged.5. Self-actualization needThe fifth and final tier of Maslow’s hierarchy is the need for self-actualization, which is the need for self-fulfillment and to become the best one is capable of becoming. Employees who significantly have satisfied the four lower needs now are looking to better themselves, those around them and the world as a whole. There is a sense that once these needs are engaged, they likely will become stronger as they are fed and satisfied. Therefore, this layer within the hierarchy is used to inspire employees and to help them perform at their highest levels.One of the basic ways in which companies can help their employees begin to satisfy this need is to offer tuition-reimbursement programs and encourage enrollment in classes and courses related to their job responsibilities. Education assistance plans help employees keep pace with the ever-changing work environment as well as provide valuable opportunities for personal and professional growth and development. Further-more, employees will bring new skills back into the workplace that will add value to the company.Another benefit is allowing a paid sabbatical, typically ranging from a few weeks to a few months, in which the employee can participate in a humanitarian cause or work toward a lifelong goal. R. Levering and M. Moskowitz in Fortune detail REI’s practice of allowing a four-week sabbatical after 15 years of service. Employees use the time to tackle an outdoor goal, such as climbing Mount Everest. Sabbaticals also are offered by most educational institutions to support faculty in developing research agendas while taking a break from teaching classes. The result of a sabbatical is mental and physical renewal, which brings with it a renewed energy for the employee’s work, resulting in greater productivity upon a return to the workplace.This is a great opportunity to get out of the office and partner with co-workers to do charity work, which also helps meet employee needs for love and belonging. Another way to help satisfy the need for self-actualization and motivate employees is to match dollar for dollar (or a percentage) of employees’contributions to a charitable organization. This also helps build company loyalty.附录B标题:会议员工要求:马斯洛需求层次仍然是一个可靠的指导鼓励员工的理论。
