unreferenced date October 2008 Content theory explains why human needs change with time. Another theory that attempts to explain human behavior is Process theory . Content theory includes the work of David McClelland , Abraham Maslow and other psychologists as they attempted to explain why human needs change, but not how they change. Content theories explain the specific factors that motivate people. In other words, they answer the question What drives behaviour? It is important to remember that the following are theories, none of which have been conclusively shown to be valid. Nonetheless, they are helpful in providing a contextual framework for dealing with individuals. McGregor s Theory X and Theory Y Douglas McGregor proposed two different motivational theories. Managers tend to believe one or the other and treat their employees accordingly. Theory X states that employees dislike and try to avoid work, so they must be coerced into doing it. Most workers do not want responsibilities, lack ambition, and value job security more than anything else. McGregor personally held that the more optimistic theory, Y, was more valid. This theory holds that employees can view work as natural, are creative, can be self motivated, and appreciate responsibility. This type of thinking is popular now, with self empowered work teams becoming the norm. ERG Theory ERG Theory is similar to the famous Maslow s Hierarchy of Needs. Existence, or physiological, needs are at the base. These include the needs for things such as food, drink, shelter, and safety. Next come Relatedness Needs, the need to feel connected to other individuals or a group. These needs are fulfilled by establishing and maintaining relationships. At the top of the hierarchy are Growth Needs, the needs for personal achievement and self actualization. If a person is continually frustrated in trying to satisfy growth needs ....
