Introduction
Much has been written about worker motivation
this century; particularly from the 1930s
onwards. An important contribution is provided
by motivational models which have
“need-satisfaction” (for example see, Maslow
(1954) and Herzberg (1966)) as their theoretical
basis. Thus, if work satisfies a need to
“learn” and offers the incumbent
“challenge”, positive outcomes are normally
forthcoming. There is little doubt that these
ideas have provided researchers and managers
with a better understanding of work
motivation
