(c)

J.S.Adam’s equity theory points out that people are motivated to maintain fair relationship between their performance and reward in comparison to others. (a) Maslow’s need hierarchy classifies human needs into five categories : physiological, safety, belongingness, esteem, and self-actualization needs and states that they follow an order. A satisfied need no longer motivates. (b) Herzberg’s two-factor model distinguishes between motivators and hygiene factors. The presence of the former (motivators) causes satisfaction but their absence doesn’t cause dissatisfaction. The absence of the latter (hygiene factors) causes dissatisfaction but their presence doesn’t guarantee satisfaction. (d) Victor Vroom’s expectancy theory holds that people will be motivated to do things to achieve some goals to the extent that they expect that certain actions on their part will help them to achieve the goal. (e) Alderfer’s ERG theory categorizes human needs into three : existence, relatedness, and growth needs.
