激励理论新解

A New Theory of Motivation

本文重新探讨了激励的本质及其理论基础 ,主张在管理中 ,激励是激发或培养人的工作动机 ,促使人为实现群体或组织的目标增强行为努力的过程。人性假设是激励的理论基础 ,认为人在本质上是一种有意识的、自组织的、寻求意义的观念性动物 ,人生活的意义在于不断地实现心中的目标 ,并不断形成新的目标。从这一激励涵义出发 ,依据作者提出的“目标人”假设 ,文章系统分析了激励的依据、类型、影响因素、以及激励强度的理论模型 ,修正了赫兹伯格的双因素理论 。

The nature and fundament of motivation were investigated.Motivation was defined as a process that inspires and creates individual work motivations to fulfill the objectives of a group or organization.Motivation theory is based on a new humanity hypothesis which holds that man is self-conscious,capable of self-organization,and ideological driven.Humans live to fulfill their psychological goals and to form new goals.Based on these definitions of the humanity hypothesis and motivation,this paper suggested a new motivation theory and offered a modification of the two-factor model of Herzberg.
