This article aimed at students of directors, managers and individuals dedicated to personnel management, intended to together's go through the different theories expounded on "Motivation" in order to locate, anyone who is interested in what is the best theory in its application, so that different scenarios and examples with names and no real time for better understanding are presented.



This is not to introduce or impose a theory as a basis, but on the contrary, only to publicize each end for which each is best applied to the situation that exists.

Exposition

When you start studying the theories of "Motivation" only issue I entail to imagine endless scenarios that daily living in each of the companies I know, the first thing you have to master is the concept of motivation word, not only in its literary meaning, but in its intrinsic meaning, and monumental personally think the motivation is the internal engine that drives an individual to perform any act or activity factor.

But if we talk about that is an engine, it needs fuel to run, also needs a "Being" to start its operation, that is why we will take this as a reference to discuss the motivation and theories that generate it.

By culture in my country El Salvador, when you ask a worker who needs to feel motivated to continue working for the company you work, your answer is "Money" and retribution are asked for all that would, in some cases and in some companies might work, however this requires strict control, because otherwise it becomes a double-edged sword, remember Selvin seller of sports equipment when at work was told he had to meet a goal to get commissions, I agree, and tried to meet that goal and on many occasions exceeded by a wide margin, but once you can not cancel it actually corresponded, at the time their motivation collapsed and decayed high way, so if you plan to use this theory you should plan ahead control means of retribution.

Another theory says that what motivates an individual is to tell your weaknesses or mistakes you make, this theory is not applied to anyone, you must know very well the person who will use. Angela was in charge of a convenience store average consumer oriented fashion, at some point your store declined in sales and be visited by the supervisor, was called in private to exhort the appearance had dropped Store , he chided such a way that employees realized and some of them felt bad, but Angela went annoying but challenged and eager to prove he could improve the regañada the reason to improve eye this theory does not work with any , employees Angela felt very bad and one of them did not come to work the next day, but she improved the appearance of the store in less than three days and raised its sales.

There is a theory that says that employees are motivated by their needs, and could one day go to work at a company with a young man named Jaime who had been working for nearly eight years in micro companies which you did not provide additional benefits to its salary, a day to meet the respective time I was given the ballot to request your membership number to Social Security, that day that guy's eyes filled with tears and told his immediate boss who never had Social Security, he was immediately apply for meat Social Security and was very happy to the extent of reaching as far as the general manager to thank him and committed to the company to work hard, in many cases, usually in people like Jaime, this theory works, when offered Health Insurance, Life Insurance, Family Pantry, Private Clinic, School Scholarships for children, and others who fill their primary needs that salary does not pay, but like other theories, this does not work at all because if a person already has eliminate with all these needs it will not be motivated by one.

The last case I want to mention is that of George a technical degree in electronics that apply for a job in a well-known company engaged in the repair of photocopiers, just the fact of saying work for company X, was pride among his friends, I apply to be interviewed very well, but when asked if he had any questions about the work I wonder football team have in the company?

This guy was motivated by the association, it seems that the association or social life not share in labor but is not, because the social is complemented with working life and motivation can be generated by aspects of association and the if George.

I have presented several real cases, people and situations that occur daily in many companies, which one fits the company headed ?, that motivation theory would you apply or apply where you live? Remember you are an administrator and it is your duty to present alternatives and solutions to optimize human resources and qualities...

conclusion

In conclusion we can say that "Motivation" does not have a standardized theory of effective implementation will depend on the different scenarios presented in different companies, so it will be the task of the administrator to apply the correct and effective for each of them, here the importance of knowing each of the theories presented by the various managers.
