外文文献原文+译文原文The research of enterprise core staff incentiveMarkus HAbstractEconomic globalization gradually, the modern enterprise is facing more and more fierce market competition, the competition is the core of enterprise talent competition. As the employees of the enterprise, the core employees because of their master professional skills, in the management, controlling and utilizing the dominant position of other resources, become the key to gain a competitive edge. And how to effectively motivate the core staff, to cope with the increasingly fierce external competition has become a modern enterprise is facing a big problem.Key words: Enterprise core staff; Incentives; The psychological contract1 IntroductionIn the global competition of the knowledge economy era, the enterprise's survival and the sustainable growth depends fundamentally on enterprise's competitive advantage, and the modern enterprise's human resources is its unique value, scarcity and difficult to imitation characteristics become an important part of enterprise core competitiveness. The core employees as the owner of the key knowledge and skills, is a major creator of enterprise value, is also the source of enterprise gain competitive advantage. The effect of the core staff can be fully play to a large extent determines the rise and fall success or failure of the enterprise, and how to effective incentive is the core staff is the enterprise human resources management must be part of the work. In the increasingly fierce war for talent in the new economic era, the world within the scope of the enterprise are facing an important and headaches, namely core staffs loss problem. How to establish and perfect the policy system of favorable to arousing the initiative of enterprise core staff, retain and use good enterprise core staff, fully tap the potential construction enterprise own core competitiveness, is a need to actively explore and strive to solve the problem.2 Literature reviewScholars have the general research of enterprise employees incentive is more, and the study of enterprise core staff incentive is relatively small, they in this aspect research focus mainly on how to retain core employees, scholars to business success in keeping key employees are studied on the basis of the fact, puts forward some practical methods and countermeasures. Management guru Peter ducker put knowledge staff is defined as: "those who master and use symbols and concepts, use knowledge or information to the people who work". He describes the characteristics of knowledge workers in two ways: first, they may be due to bad mood productivity. Second, they are not employees but volunteers, although they also get the corresponding reward. He pointed out that the main cause of knowledge worker productivity is low is failed to define knowledge worker's own work. Education is the responsibility of knowledge workers, and others in the enterprise into a Learning organization, Learning organization) first before going to be a type of Teaching organization (would organization).Knowledge workers have to clear the information he needed. Therefore, must be the same as volunteers rather than employees to manage them. Although the core staff and knowledge workers are not the same concept, but there are many commonalities between the two. David Park and Scott a. spell from the perspective of enterprise development strategy, a combination of transaction cost economics theory, human capital theory and strategic management theory, human capital in the enterprise employment model on the basis of core employees has been studied. They think: human capital is the key of enterprise competitive advantage resources, and the core of the enterprise staff in the organization's unique technology, is to organize the source of competitive advantage. Lose loss of core staff will lead to organization capital, and increase the inside of the core staff employed to enhance the value of organizational creativity. Therefore, the organization should pay attention to cultivating the core staff loyalty, by increasing the investment in this part of the employees, allowing them to participate in decision-making and motivation to contribute to the organization.And scholars mainly from the core staff loss such as Bevan losses to the enterprise, the reasons of the loss of core staff, and retain the core staff and theenterprise strategy and so on were studied. They put forward the core employee retention strategy mainly includes: provide training and development opportunities for the core staff improve the manager's management style, flexibility, let the core employees in company profits, etc. Cloth lanham that retain the core staff strategy focused on four key points: first, as people are willing to work for the company. Second, we should choose good talent. Third, let employees have a good start. Fourth, use methods such as guidance and rewards to keep staff loyalty. He also provides many excels in human resources management of the company's actual case studies, such as HP, Cisco and star bucks, lists many of these companies specific incentives, for many managers in keeping enterprise core talents provides certain help and reference. Beverly kay and Sharon Jordan stressed that retain the core staff refers to not only stop the outflow, at the same time to make them more "into" and "work". He pointed out that in addition to a reasonable remuneration, in reality the core employees also expect a challenging and meaningful work, learning and development opportunities, friendly colleagues, hope to get recognition and respect, still hope to have a good manager can affect these aspects. In addition, he also for managers and human resource workers put forward the strategy of the 26 effective to retain core employees. Knowledge management expert Dr Han tan's core staff incentive factors is proposed. Motivate the core staff, he thought, the first four factors are: personal growth 43%, 13% work independent, business achievement of 5%, 7% money wealth. So on the core staff incentive, not with money is given priority to, and should be given priority to with development and growth. Axe, a world famous management consulting co., LTD cooperate with Australian institute of management research after three years of research, for Australia, the United States, Japan's industries, 858 employees (including 160 knowledge workers) listed after analyzing the knowledge staff incentive factors.3 Related theories3.1 Enterprise core staffAt the university of Maryland and David Scott from the perspective of enterprise development strategy, the theory of transaction cost economics theory, human capitaland strategic management theory, put forward to build organizational strategic mixed employment model of human capital theory of human capital. The human capital in the organization can accord the value of "human capital" and "the uniqueness of human capital" dual dimension is divided into four types. Among them, the human capital has the high value and is unique staff can be called the core staff.The core employees of enterprises can be roughly divided into three categories: the first category, the core staff with professional skills, this kind of core employees mainly owns a business or professional skills in the field of talent on one hand, its working relationship with the normal operation of the enterprise. The second category, the core staff with a broad range of external relations, this type of employees needed to have the business relationship with extensive external resources, is the enterprise bridge of communication with outside organizations, such as sales of key personnel and business personnel, enterprises need through their access to the required resources and product output. Third class, has the core staff management skills, this kind of staff is mainly to help enterprises to resist risk management, save administrative costs, its performance is closely related to the development of the enterprise quality. Of course, the enterprise managers in determining the enterprise core staff, the company should pay attention to combining with the specific development status and trend of the enterprise external environment and attention should be paid to the determination of core employees should be along with the development of the enterprise and the market changes constantly, dynamic adjustment and optimization.3.2 Incentive theoryMotivation is a general term, is widely used for driving force, wishes, needs, wishes and similar forces of the whole class. In management, incentives is by some means or methods for organization members in a state of excitement and tension, positive action, and pay more time and energy, to achieve the organization's desired goal. Since the beginning of the 20th century, many management scientists, psychologists and sociologists have been studied from different angles on people implement effective incentive problems, and put forward many good incentive theory. According to the core of the incentive problem research, can reduce incentive theoryand divided into content motivation theory, process motivation theory, strengthening the incentive theory and comprehensive incentive theory etc.3.3 The psychological contract theoryPsychological Contract (The Psychological Contract) and been translated into The Psychological Contract, The current in The field of psychology research there are a lot of different understanding and explanation, has not yet formed a very authoritative and unified concept. Levinson regarded the concept of "psychological contract" as a kind of no written contract. According to Levinson's point of view, "psychological contract" relations between the employers and employees in the organization and the employee agree beforehand good implicit didn't say it to each other with their respective various expectations. Some expectations in consciousness clear (such as wages), and some expectation on the consciousness is vague, such as long-term expectations of promotion, etc.Famous American management psychologist cover (e. h. Stein) professor, psychological contract is "between the individual will be dedicated and desires to obtain, and the organization for personal expectations and provide a kind of coordination with the". It is not a tangible contract, but it does play a tangible contract again. Robinson (Robinson), and other people will be psychological contract is defined as between individuals and organizations, a certain period of time, certain circumstances a personal belief within the scope of the mutual expectations. That is to say, in the research of psychological contract is an expect of each other between people and organizations, as well as in different periods and different situations exist specifically belongs to the expectations of the faith, emphasizes the psychological contract is a kind of two levels of the each other between individuals and organizations. Above all, "psychological contract" to each other in the employment of the parties shall employ what should be a kind of subjective psychological agreement at the same time, the key components of convention is to employ the implicit unwritten mutual responsibility. This article USES the concept of "psychological contract", emphasizes the psychological contract of employees, namely from the perspective of employees unilateral responsibility and the responsibility of theemployees of the organization.文献出处:Markus H.

员工激励的著作文献英文回答:The Significance of Employee Motivation in the Workplace.Employee motivation plays a crucial role in shaping the success of an organization. It directly impacts employee productivity, engagement, and retention, which in turn influences the overall organizational performance. Various theories and models have been developed over the years to understand and enhance employee motivation. Here are some notable works that have significantly contributed to this field of study:1. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs: Proposed by psychologist Abraham Maslow, this theory suggests that human needs follow a hierarchical order, from basic physiological needs to self-actualization. As individuals fulfill their lower-level needs, they become motivated topursue higher-level ones.2. Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory: Psychologist Frederick Herzberg distinguished between hygiene factors (related to job dissatisfaction) and motivators (related to job satisfaction). Hygiene factors include salary, working conditions, and company policies, while motivators encompass achievement, recognition, and personal growth.3. Vroom's Expectancy Theory: Developed by Victor Vroom, this theory posits that motivation is influenced by an individual's beliefs about the relationship between effort, performance, and rewards. When employees perceive a clear link between their efforts and desired outcomes, they are more likely to be motivated.4. Equity Theory: Proposed by J. Stacey Adams, this theory suggests that employees are motivated to maintain a fair balance between their inputs (effort, skills, experience) and outcomes (rewards, recognition). Employees who perceive inequity may experience dissatisfaction and reduced motivation.5. Goal-Setting Theory: This theory emphasizes the importance of setting specific, challenging, and achievable goals. When employees have clear goals and feedback ontheir progress, they are more likely to be motivated and engaged in their work.6. Reinforcement Theory: Based on principles of operant conditioning, this theory states that positive reinforcement (rewards) and negative reinforcement (avoiding punishments) can shape behavior. Managers can use reinforcement techniques to encourage desired behaviors and increase employee motivation.7. Self-Determination Theory: Developed by Edward Deci and Richard Ryan, this theory focuses on the intrinsic motivation that arises from satisfying the needs for competence, autonomy, and relatedness. When these needs are fulfilled, employees experience greater motivation andwell-being.中文回答:员工激励著作文献。

Academy of Management Review, 2016, 31(7): 464-476.原文The employee’s incentive s mechanism in small and medium-sized enterpriseBarney J BAbstract"Incentive" is a psychological term, psychologists point out that all behavior is caused by the motivation of associated with it, as one of the person's state of mind, this motive for human behavior has the effect of reinforcement, vertebral move and inspire, known as a motivation. Incentive is mainly to inspire people to inner potential, cause people intelligence, mobilize people's enthusiasm and creativity. In this paper, the construction of small and medium-sized enterprise employees incentive mechanism problem. From the use of different ideas, different angles, for enterprise employees incentive. Staff incentive mechanism is through the system, rational system to reflect the interaction between incentive subjects with incentive object, is the enterprise connect the ideal into reality. Small business managers should learn effective research method for reference, targeted to solve their practical problems, and strive for a breakthrough in terms of theory. In the research and construction of small and medium-sized enterprise incentive mechanism on the road to constantly innovation, divergent thinking, from surface to inside, and realize the goal of research. And summarizes a set of suitable for small and medium-sizedenterprises for effective incentive mechanism, to promote the vigorous development of small and medium-sized enterprises.Keywords: small and medium-sized enterprises, incentive mechanism, staff requirementsIntroductionIn the increasingly fierce competition, more and more small and medium-sized enterprises begin to realize enterprise's competition is talented person's competition,actually only attach importance to talents, pay attention to the development of human resources management, to constantly improve their own core competitiveness, make the enterprise in the incentive competition advantage. However, the construction of the incentive mechanism is the core of the construction of enterprise human resources management, and enterprise operation of each link, and employees are closely linked. Use reasonable effective employee incentive mechanism to attract talent, formed a set of scientific, perfect enterprise candidates, choose and employ persons, cultivate people's human resources management system, is to motivate employees continuously enterprising, the key to motivate staff morale; Is in motivating talents plays an important role in promoting the competition to attract talent, retain talent; Is to guide employees to establish scientific, and the basis of the strategic target of enterprise organization goal is consistent. But most of the small and medium-sized enterprise development history is short, the lack of management experience, management system is not mature, the understanding of human resource management is not deep, incentive mechanism is not sound, for enterprise employees cannot give a sufficient motivation, to arouse the enthusiasm of employees, lead to the market competition ofenterprises is relatively weak. Therefore, how to strengthen the management of human resources, to establish scientific and effective employee incentive mechanism, and reasonable use of scientific and effective incentive mechanism, attract talent, talent of education development, to prevent the brain drain becomes the key to enterprise core competitiveness.In the face of increasingly fierce market competition, establish a scientific and reasonable employee incentive mechanism for the production and business operation and sustainable development of enterprises play a vital role. Only retain talent, and fully mobilize the enthusiasm and initiative of employees, play employees' creativity, to constantly strengthen the enterprise core competitive power, to give priority to occupy talent highland, finally to make small and medium-sized enterprises in the fierce competition of modern society.Summary of incentive and incentive mechanismThe meaning of incentiveAs a social people are engaged in all behaviors are caused by some kind of motivation, desire, motivation, desire is a kind of mental state, through the role of the mental state can inspire people to dig their own potential, fight, fight for the realization of self-worth. Incentive mechanism as one of the important content of enterprise human resources management has an irreplaceable role. In the enterprise staff work enthusiasm, motivation and ability to work effectively and use is one of the important factors of enterprise sustainable development, enterprise managers through scientific and effective means and ways of reasonable use of limited resources, to understand employees at the level of the rationalization of demand and, in turn, meet the demand of employees of rationalization, tomotivate, inspire and guide the enterprise staff's work enthusiasm, goal setting and enhanced to enterprise's loyalty, to achieve the strategic goals of the enterprise management process. Motivation mainly includes the trigger a desire, guide the target, etc.The meaning of employee incentive mechanismEmployee motivation is to use some kind of external cause, use all kinds of effective measures to meet the diverse needs of employees or restrict, and through certain rules and regulations to regulate and constraint, penalties, employees, motivate employees, to constraint employee morale and employee motivation, arouse the enthusiasm of work, desire, etc., make the person has an inner motivated employees can form a certain goal, and keep a high mood and actively state to the desired goal of psychological process. This process relies on a system we defined as incentive mechanism can also be called incentive system. Incentive system concrete application in the process of the employee's incentive, in the process of the interaction, constraints, and incentive results closely linked to a kind of comprehensive function. In terms of enterprise employees incentive mechanism its essence lies in through scientific, perfect system construction, promote employees in the direction of the organization to make persistent efforts. Staff incentive mechanism in the enterprise application is urge employees strive to achieve the strategic goals of the enterprise incentive system.The type of staff incentive mechanismIn the era of global competition and knowledge-based economy, more and moresmall and medium-sized enterprises gradually realized that the competition between the enterprises is the result of the talentcompetition, talent as a resource is the first of all resources. The sustainable development of small and medium-sized enterprises, fundamentally, mainly depends on the enterprise the competitive advantage of human resources. Employee’s incentive mechanism as one of the main content of human resource management, contains a lot of ways, it not only through the every link of the enterprise, but also closely connected with the employee's personal interests. Employee incentive way is not the same, one of the main forms are:Material aspects of the stimulusPhysiological needs is a kind of demand at the lowest level of all the requirements, it is mainly refers to people in their daily lives for clothing, housing, food, travel tools, air, water and other basic living needs and physiological needs. Physiological demand is people in social activities, maintain the basic survival motivation, the basis of the material aspects of the incentive is to be able to make people physiological demand and life needs are met. The implementation of the material incentive is can make employees work power source. Material things incentives also include wages, salary, promotion, bonuses, welfare, insurance, reward housing, echo managers in the use of employee wages, bonuses and other incentives in terms of money, should be aware of the value of money between employees have different value, cannot treat as the same, and each employee to earn the satisfaction is not the same, therefore, when using monetary rewards not should adopt the principle of distribution of average, should be targeted.Goal setting incentiveGoal setting incentive, namely through the guide staff according to their own actual situation to set realistic goals,causing employee morale, motivate and inspire employees to complete the goal setting and constantly struggle, make employees the purpose of energy. Staff has constantly encouraged by power and passion, striving to make progress constantly asked him to pursue higher goals. Managers in the process of human resource management, be good at discover employees inner expectations and goals, and moderate guide employees to achieve their goals and formulatedetailed implementation steps, the corresponding work objectives for each employee, the task assigned to each employee, can give employees the invisible pressure, in turn, into power, strengthening the staff's sense of responsibility. When employees own goal is to realize the satisfaction of, will strengthen their awareness of the enterprise goal, to strengthen the enterprise's loyalty, thus make the enterprise organizational goals be implemented step by step.The respection of incentiveThe respection of incentive is one of the most basic of incentives, is to speed up the staff passion of the catalyst. Respect for every employee, to win the respect of each employee and loyalty. As a manager to respect employees at all levels of the independent personality and value orientation, in particular, pay attention to the demands of grass-roots staff, timely grasp and meet the needs of staff rationalization, is the embodiment of the enterprises fully respect for employees, at the same time, the staff work hard, obey organization arrangement, is the employee feedback and enterprise managers' respect and obedience. Respect include mutual respect between employees, mutual respect between leadership and staff, between enterprises and enterprises such as mutual respect, the main performance formutual respect between superiors and subordinates, friendly atmosphere of mutual respect and promote the affection between staff, staff and leadership, strong force mouth among employees, between employees and leadership, make the enterprise team to better cooperation, strengthen team cohesion.The employee involvement of incentiveStaff participation motivation mainly refers to the enterprise should pay attention to the cultivation of enterprise employee ownership. Now the employees have to participate in the management of the appeal. As managers, establish reasonable mechanism of employee involvement, advice for mechanism and system of employee ownership, create and provide opportunity for employees to provide reasonable Suggestions for the development of enterprises, and the proportion of adopting staff have put forward opinions and Suggestions, and to adopt the opinions and Suggestions of certain rewards to employees, make employees really participate in themanagement of the enterprise, enhance the staff of the enterprise belonging, at the same time make the employees get the realization of self-worth, make employees in respect of expectations, the realization of self-worth, got fully meet the desire. At the same time, also can create more effective value for the enterprise. Can also set up the system of mutual selection between staff and departments, which respect the wishes of employees, allows employees to have jobs initiative, options, and conducive to business to choose jobs suitable for working people.译文中小企业员工激励机制研究Barney J B摘要“激励”是一个心理学词汇,心理学家指出人的所有行为是由与其相关联的动机所引起的,这种动机作为人的精神状态之一,对人类的行为有强化、椎动和激发的作用,人们称之为激励。

本科毕业论文(设计)外文翻译原文:Employee MotivationThe problem of motivating other people is probably as old as the history of man himself, or at least as old as that point in time when man found he could only accomplish certain tasks by combining his efforts or abilities with those of other individuals. With the onset of this realization of the value and need for cooperative effort, the problem was further compounded when larger numbers of people were needed to accomplish a task. The situation then arose of providing direction to such a multiple effort; and with direction, i.e., someone telling others what to do or overseeing the effort, there came the matter of how to motivate these people. The old saying, one can lead a horse to water but one cannot make him drink, was and remains the crux of the motivation problem.The whip, the lash, cajolery, persuasion, bribery, promises, pleadings, and numerous other techniques have been and are still being used in an attempt to motivate others. Yet, despite our long confrontation with this problem, we are still far from understanding or knowing how to motivate others. Motivation is a matter further complicated by the particular period of time, the particular circumstances and the par- ticular economic conditions surrounding an act. Under conditions of prosperity and full employment, such as the U.S.A. has experienced, the problem of motivating others may become a far more difficult task, particularly in a free society. It is not uncommon today to hear employers ask: How does one get his employees to be genuinely concerned about their work, to take real interest in what they are doing, to accept challenges, to take pride in what they are doing, to want to accomplish at a high level, to want to assume responsibility?Let us begin by examining the problem of motivation in an organizational setting, for it is here that our particular interests are most concerned. Analytically and forsimplicity's sake, one can discern five key elements which play a major role in motivation. These are the employer, the employee, the work environment, the goals of the employer and the goals of the other members of the organization (the workers, supervisors, and managers). It is the interplay of these factors that influences the problem of motivation and determines the outcome.Let us then make some quick observations of this organizational setting for it is here, within these bounds, that the drama is played. If one observes the work place, one can see people engaged in a variety of activities. Some of these activities may seem to be related to the activities of others, while others may seem to be quite independent. One catches a glimpse of a particular individual who appears to be telling others what to do, or of other people near each other engaged in conversation, while carrying on some activity. The total effect is one of much activity about the scene. This activity-whether similar or different; whether it is writing, talking or making machines function; or whether it is unobservable activity of thought-all has purpose. The purpose or purposes may be different for different organizations, but one basic fact emerges regardless of the kind of organization it may be-all organizations have purpose, and all of the activities that take place within the organization are deemed essential by someone to accomplish the organization's purpose.Lest one gain from this description a picture of uncertainty and unpredictability of output, it is important to add that management cannot function or accept such a condition and, therefore, imposes standards of productivity or output. In the factory these are most readily known in terms of piece rates or units of production. Despite these requirements by management, it is well known that workers withhold produc- tion; that is, workers may well have the ability to produce more than that required of them. This problem of level of production is far more amorphous in the work situation where the professional person is engaged. How does one measure output in these situations and by what standards? One looks in vain for answers. Attempts have been made and will continue to be made to find solutions, but most of the attempts so far have crumbled or floundered because of the subjectivity involved in establishing such criteria. To date no precise mathematical formulae for determining such standardshave been found, and even if they were, it is highly questionable whether they would be equally acceptable to managers and workers. At best, in the business and in- dustrial situation, the worker is considered as a cost factor in the grand total of production costs. Successful companies approximate or determine some level of productivity needed from the worker to consider this element a profitable aspect of the overall operation. In state, national or urban governmental work where services are rendered to the public, even the cost concept of the worker as he relates to pro- ductivity or profitability becomes lost.What then are some of the factors that lead to this situation and what can be done to motivate people? Earlier five factors were mentioned as playing a key role in the motivation area. At this point, I mention two of the vital ones-the supervisor and the employee.First, let us repeat quickly some points already made. All organizations have purpose. A library is an organization having the purpose or purposes of providing a professional service to the public or to special publics. All of its employees are then the means by which this service will be provided. How well this service will be rendered will depend upon how well the various activities are carried out by the employees of the library. How adequately these employees will perform will depend upon their own self-motivation or how well they have been motivated by their supervisors.Even if there is satisfaction with the work being done today, it is only momentary for the accomplishments of today merely become the base for the improvements of tomorrow. The overwhelming characteristic of work in our time is change, and the only instruments capable of making these changes are the managers, the supervisors and the workers. There is only one effective way to get these changes made and that is to influence employees to want to make them.How do we do this? What are some of the factors involved? First, it is important that we never forget that it is the individual, the worker, who is being asked to make this change and that it is the employee who is in control of the situation. It is the worker who must make the final decision to make this change and he will determinehow much or how little he will do. The supervisor, in the extreme position, can fire the worker, but the question then arises as to what this will accomplish.A second point that must be made is the point so well stated by Drucker: "In hiring a worker one cannot hire a hand; its owner always comes with it . . .one can hire only a whole man rather than any part thereof." And when one hires this whole man or woman, one has hired a personality, attitudes, motives, levels of aspiration, goals, am- bitions, needs, egos, roles, abilities, interests, values and many other factors.Now let us briefly consider the other half of this duality of the supervisor motivating the employee. This worker has a personality which is defined in Menninger's words as "all that a man has been- is-and hopes to be." This is the total person-the way he thinks and feels, his likes and hates, his abilities and interests, his values, and his hopes and desires. It is here in this work place where his hopes and ambitions may be fulfilled or smashed. It is here where his aspirations may be achieved and challenged or where he may develop frustration, aggression, hostility, and apathy. It is this work place which consumes so large a part of his life and either provides fulfillment of his needs or miserably fails to meet them.Searching deeper to understand this worker, one can see him as a "needs system" seeking to satisfy his wants. Maslow sees the individual in our society and culture as one having a hierarchy of needs. These move from a base of meeting physiological requirements for survival to the apex of self-accomplishments in one's own right. Between these bounds he traces the need for safety and protection from bodily harms and the next level of dependence, the need to feel secure and to be able to depend upon others. This is followed by the need for independence, to be able to stand on one's own two feet, to be respected, to have self-esteem. And lastly this need hierarchy is capped by the need for self-realization, the need to achieve and accomplish. Gratification of our basic needs frees us to move on to the next higher level. In this concept one moves from the area of physiological requirements to the psychological needs. McGregor points this up clearly when he states, "Man lives by bread alone, when there is no bread." He points to this area of higher needs as theplace where managers and supervisors fail to motivate their works. He points out that today most employees can generally fulfill their basic physiological needs, whereupon they attempt to seek fulfillment of their needs in the areas of self- expression, recognition, having some voice in job affairs, doing something worthwhile, and demanding a chance to grow. Often these needs are largely overlooked by the supervisor and the result is frustration for the worker.Fundamentally, the problem can be raised in question form as follows: How can we apply the knowledge we have gained to the problem of motivating people? In posing this question, certain conditions must be recognized: 1) One cannot blanket all workers by a general formula. Motivation is an individual matter, and one needs to know and understand as best one can the individual who is to be motivated. 2) One will not be able to motivate others for any length of time if such motivation is used for personal or selfish reasons, i.e., if people are being used for one's own gain. 3) A most important condition, one that cannot be overlooked, is that individuals have their own goals, objectives and aspirations. Unfortunately and all too frequently, only the organization's goals are considered. True, these are important, but equally important is the need to help the individual seek to achieve his goals within the context of the organization's goals. It is a concept of integration, of the realization of individual goals within the larger framework of the organization. It is possible, and it becomes an essential element in motivating others.Along with the above concept flows the process of giving greater freedom and responsibility to the individual to direct his own activities for the accomplishment of organizational objectives. At the same time, this will provide the individual with the opportunity to meet his own egoistic needs. Along with this one can allow the individual to enlarge his job responsibilities and more fully to utilize his abilities. Here one is providing the opportunity of challenge, and the environment for accomplishment, and again one sees conditions being provided for the meeting of higher level needs.Finally there is the matter of appraisal. Ratings and evaluations of workers have long been in use. In general, they have not been very successful, and much of thecause is related to the fact that they have been used critically, destructively, and with little sound data to support the evaluation. Within this process of appraisal, however, there lies good potential for motivation of the worker. But first, it becomes necessary that we reverse the attitude that the appraisal process is destructive. It must be used to allow the employee to set objectives or goals for himself and his work. It can be used to allow the individual to evaluate himself, or, as in the case of General Electric, IBM, General Mills, and others, it can be used as a process of self-evaluation by the employee as well as his supervisor. Regardless of specific technique, the fundamental factor is that evaluations become a constructive developmental approach which can be vitally effective in the motivational process.In conclusion, one can see the supervisor as one of the prime forces in the motivational process. His prime role is one of developing people who want to participate spontaneously and cooperatively in reaching both organizational and personal goals.Source: Charles H. Goodman.

员工激励机制外文翻译文献(文档含中英文对照即英文原文和中文翻译)原文:Performance Appraisal as a Guide for Training and Development: A Research Note on the Iowa Performance Evaluation SystemBy Dennis Daley owa State UniversityThis paper examines one facet of performance appraisal-its use as a guide for the drafting of employee training and development plans. The scope is limited in that it excludes any consideration as to whether these plans are actually implemented. Our interest focuses only on the extent to which supervisors endeavor to assist employees in correcting orovercoming weaknesses and in enhancing or developing perceived strengths. The findings reported here are based on a 1981 monitoring of the performance appraisal system used by the State of Iowa.As civil service reform has been instituted in one jurisdiction after another in order to further assure objective, performance based personnel practices, performance appraisal has emerged as one of the key issues in the personnel management of the 1980s. This heightened sense of importance and seriousness has, in turn, led to a renewed interest in the study of the actual workings of performance appraisal systems.The uses to which performance appraisal can be put are myriad. The recent Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 serves as a model in this respect. Here we find enunciated what may be taken as the typical orientation toward the uses of performance appraisal, recommending that personnel managers and supervisors "use the results of performance appraisal as. a basis for training, rewarding, reassigning, promoting, reducing in grade, retaining, and removing employees." Performance appraisal systems can also serve to validate personnel testing and selection procedures, although such systems are themselves also subject to affirmative action validation requirements.The economic recessions of the 1970s and 1980s have placed significant restraints on these uses, however. The imposition of hiring freezes, the diminishment of promotional opportunities, the advent of reductions-in-force, and the near abandonment of merit pay provisions by financially strapped governmental entities have contributed to the loss of enthusiasm for performance appraisal in many quarters. Under such circumstances, performance appraisal一limited in its use to the more negative functions of employee evaluation-takes on the dreaded image ascribed to them by Douglas McGregor (1957).In their search to salvage something positive from amidst thesecircumstances personnel specialists have alighted upon the use of performance appraisal as a guide for employee training and development. This offers them the opportunity of providing public employees with a service that employees view as beneficial. Although public employees have shown little confidence in specific performance appraisal systems or in the managerial abilities of those responsible for their implementation (McGregor, 1957; Levinson, 1976; Nalbandian,1981), they have tended to demonstrate a more favorable attitude when the purpose of performance appraisal has been perceived to be employee development (Decotiis and Petit, 1978;Cascio, 1982).This, of course, still poses a significant problem to a multipurpose system such as that found in the State of Iowa. Disenchantment or distrust with one aspect of the performance appraisal system may significantly contribute to the weakening of the entire evaluation system.THE IOWA PERFORMANCE EVALUATION SYSTEMIn all public service systems employees are evaluated periodically; most often this is done informally. The introduction of formal systems of performance appraisal, usually in addition to continued informal assessment, is a relatively recent event. Formal systems of performance appraisal are designed to provide a systematic and objective measure of individual job performance and/or potential for development.Although the use of formal performance appraisal in Iowa can be traced back at least to the early 1950s (limited, for the most part, to such rudimentary methods as the essay or graphic rating scale), these occurred within a fragmented setting. Individual departments and agencies retained descretion over the choice of such personnel practices until well into the 1960s.Under Governor Harold Hughes (1963一1969) a number of efforts were undertaken tostrengthen the executive. Among these reforms was the creation of the State Merit System of Personnel Administration, administered by the Iowa Merit Employment Department, in 1967. Even so, there were numerous exemptions limiting the extent of its coverage, both in terms of separate merit systems outside its jurisdiction and of patronage appointments. The executive reform movement was continued throughout the lengthy service of Governor Robert Ray (1969-1983). Strong executive support was placed behind the development of the personnel system. Governor Ray unsuccessfully advocated expanding the IMED jurisdiction through the elimination of the existing coverage exemptions and by integrating the separate merit systems into an executive personnel department. Notwithstanding the somewhat 1imited success of recent Iowa governors, the basis for a professionalized public service was established during those years.One reflection of this basis is the fact that the use of a statewide appraisal-by-objectives system was inaugurated in 1977. The implementation of this system followed the introduction of the management-by-objectives concept among a number of the larger state agencies.Since appraisal-by-objectives is a specific application or extension of the MBO approach, it was felt that by this means executive support for performance appraisal could be more readily obtained. It is known, of course, that the lack of managerial support is a significant contributing factor in the failure of many performance appraisal systems. The Iowa performance evaluation system is an ideal-typical descriptive example of the appraisal-by-objectives technique. The introduction of this approach in 1977 was accompained by a series of training sessions (Burke, 1977) and supported with supervisory and employee handbooks.However, training for new supervisors and periodic "refresher courses" appear to have been given a low priority in Iowa, as is generally the case in public sector personnel systems. Iowa's use of appraisal-by-objectives is designed as a participatory system. Employee participation is a hallmark found among most modern management approaches and has been linked to successful public sector performance appraisal systems (Lovrich, et al,1981).The Iowa performance evaluation process is initiated with joint completion of "Section A:Responsibilities and Standards/Results Expected" (also referred to as the "job description")by the supervisor and employee. This is the first of three sections included in the performante appraisal form/process. Section A is completed at the beginning of the annual appraisal period while sections B and C are written up at its conclusion. The employee is to be given prior notice of the conference and supplied copies of previous evaluation for use as guides. Eight to ten major responsibilities (four to five is the norm) are to be selected and, written down in a results-oriented format with specific standards by which the achievement of these results are to be measured. These individual responsibilities are weighted through the use of an additive formula which factors in the time spent on each task and the evaluation of its importance or the consequence of error (a five point Likert-type scale is used for both). The overall employee rating is the weighted average of these individual responsibility ratings(also based on a five point scale).In the event that these responsibilities need to be subject to modification due to changing circumstances, a new Section A would be prepared by the supervisor and employee. During the course of the evaluation period the supervisor is also encouraged to use a "critical incident" approach. Both formal (with written copy inserted into theemployee's file) and informal communications between employees and supervisors are encouraged. For negative incidents it is important that a record of corrective action be documented; employees must be notified if they are doing something wrong and the supervision must indicate how they can correct their behavior.At the end of the evaluation period, again following advanced notice, the employee and supervisor meet to discuss the employee's job performance in light of the responsibilities outlined in the employee's Section A. Worksheets are used at this meeting with a formal evaluation prepared only afterward. At this appraisal interview the supervisor discusses "SectionB: Performance Review/Rating" with the employee. Employees are also given the opportunity to formally comment on the final evaluation form. Historically only five percent do so,of which under two percent can be classified as negative comments."Section C: Summary of Total Job Performance and Future Performance Plans" is also completed at this time. Basically, this is an essay evaluation. The supervisor is provided the opportunity to list the employee's "areas of strength- and those "areas needing improvement." In the latter instances "training and developmental plans" for correcting these are supposed to be filed.DATA COLLECTIONIn conjunction with its implementation efforts the Iowa Merit Employment Department engaged in a two-year monitoring of its appraisal-by-objectives evaluation system. The results of this monitoring project, involving the sampling of performance appraisals submitted in between July 1978 and December 1979, were reported to state officials in January 1980.The first monitoring project led to a number of minor changes in the performance evaluation system. For most part thesemodifications represented "word changes;" e.g., instead of listing"employee weaknesses," "areas needing improvement" were prescribed.This study is based on the results of a second monitoring project conducted by the IMED.The questions addressed in this study were, in part, raised by the first monitoring project.While the first monitoring focused primarily on the basic or general implementation of the performance evaluation system (i.e., was there compliance with the mandated requirements?), the second is more concerned with how well it is working. The format used here is that of "action research" or "troubleshooting" (Starling, 1979, pp. 495一514; Rossi and Freeman, 1982). IMED staff served as judges who assessed the qualitative aspects of performance appraisals. A stratified approach to sampling was employed in order to assure that sufficient supervisory, professional and managerial appraisals were included. The resultant data base consisted of 535 performance appraisals submitted between July and December of 1981.DATA ANALYSISThe primary results assessing how well Iowa's performance appraisal system is working are reported elsewhere (Daley, 1983). This paper focuses only on those aspects related to the specification of training and development plans.Because Iowa employs a multipurpose approach in the use of performance appraisals it is hardly surprising that there are many instances, 43 percent of those monitored, in which no training and development are specified. This, however, poses the task of somehow separating the cases in which training plans should most definitely be present.A supervisor may choose to list training and development plans for three reasons. First,unrelated to any individual strengths or weaknesses, he may choose to use this performance appraisal section as a memo or reminderof a training activity which all employees are routinely given. The inclusion of such activities in an "official" performance appraisal may serve to provide added political weight in order to insure their being performed; it is all to easy amidst the pressing, day-to-day concerns of administrative firefighting to let training and development activities slide off the edge.Second, supervisors may choose to promote employee development. They may either pickup on some strength an individual already possesses or for which he may have an aptitude and attempt to polish, refine, or enhance those skills. While this is not an automatic relationship, not all "strengths" would require additional or follow-up training, it is important for both organizational and individual well-being. Obviously, such activities benefit the organization by increasing its administrative or technical capacity. One can also expect that the individual employee benefits through material rewards and/or enhanced self-esteem. As such, this represents one of the positive uses to which performance appraisal can be put.Hence, it has an added importance.Finally, training plans should be specified in those instances in which a supervisor notes that an employee "needs improvement." As such remarks may become the basis for an adverse personnel action (reassignment, reduction in grade, removal, etc.) it is legally incumbent that the state demonstrate that it has made a good faith effort to correct such deficienties. Due process demands that public employees not be dealt with a "star chamber" fashion.An employee cannot be expected to correct inadequate work behaviors if he is neither told that they are inadequate nor, it told, not instructed or assisted in how to correct them.In monitoring Iowa's performance appraisals room was allowed to record up to three "strengths" and "areas needing improvement" for each employee. Supervisors tended to list employee strengths twice as often as theydetailed areas needing improvement (1223 to 506),and as one would expect there is a pronounced tendency to note both strengths and areas needing improvement vis-a-vis individual employees (58 percent of the monitored appraisals combine both strengths and areas needing improvement).A count of the number of listed strengths and areas needing improvement was made use of (zero to three for each variable) in analyzing this data. While this fails to measure the importance or significance of each strength or area needing improvement, it was felt that in some way the number of such instances would be related to or a rough indicator of the overall seriousness underlying the specification or training plans (i.e., as the number of instances increased so would the need for a training plan to be specified).Furthermore, training plans were judged not only as to their existence but also as to whether they were deemed to represent a "poor" or "good" relationship between the plan and the listed strengths and areas needing improvement. The nature of this relationship may also be interpreted in terms of partial or full compliance. "Good" plans would be seen as following-up on the listed strengths and/or areas needing improvement and, hence, as complying with the personnel system's intention to use performance appraisals as a guide for training and development.In addition to the above analysis the count of strengths and areas needing improvement were also compared to the rounded performance ratings given to each individual. It was felt that there should be evidence here, too, albeit tangential in nature, of a relationship; those employees garnering more mentions of strengths and/or of fewer areas needing improvement should possess higher ratings.译文:激励是人力资源管理的核心。

毕业论文(设计)外文翻译一、外文原文:原文:Employee MotivationNohria Nitin; Groysberg Boris; Lee Linda-ElingGetting people to do their best work,even in trying circumstances, is one of managers' most enduring and slippery challenges. Indeed, deciphering what motivates us as human beings is a centuries-old puzzle. Some of history's most influential thinkers about human behavior -- among them Aristotle, Adam Smith, Sigmund Freud, and Abraham Maslow -- have struggled to understand its nuances and have taught us a tremendous amount about why people do the things they do.Such luminaries, however, didn't have the advantage of knowledge gleaned from modern brain science. Their theories were based on careful and educated investigation, to be sure, but also exclusively on direct observation. Imagine trying to infer how a car works by examining its movements (starting, stopping, accelerating, turning) without being able to take apart the engine.Fortunately, new cross-disciplinary research in fields like neuroscience, biology, and evolutionary psychology has allowed us to peek under the hood, so to speak -- to learn more about the human brain. Our synthesis of the research suggests that people are guided by four basic emotional needs, or drives, that are the product of our common evolutionary heritage. As set out by Paul R. Lawrence and Nitin Nohria in their 2002 book Driven: How Human Nature Shapes Our Choices, they are the drives to acquire (obtain scarce goods, including intangibles such as social status); bond (form connections with individuals and groups); comprehend (satisfy our curiosity and master the world around us); and defend (protect against external threats and promote justice). These drives underlie everything we do.Managers attempting to boost motivation should take note. It's hard to argue with the accepted wisdom -- backed by empirical evidence -- that a motivated workforcemeans better corporate performance. But what actions, precisely, can managers take to satisfy the four drives and, thereby, increase their employees' overall motivation?We recently completed two major studies aimed at answering that question. In one, we surveyed 385 employees of two global businesses -- a financial services giant and a leading IT services firm. In the other, we surveyed employees from 300 Fortune 500 companies. To define overall motivation, we focused on four commonly measured workplace indicators of it: engagement, satisfaction, commitment, and intention to quit. Engagement represents the energy, effort, and initiative employees bring to their jobs. Satisfaction reflects the extent to which they feel that the company meets their expectations at work and satisfies its implicit and explicit contracts with them. Commitment captures the extent to which employees engage in corporate citizenship. Intention to quit is the best proxy for employee turnover.Both studies showed, strikingly, that an organization's ability to meet the four fundamental drives explains, on average, about 60% of employees' variance on motivational indicators (previous models have explained about 30%). We also found that certain drives influence some motivational indicators more than others. Fulfilling the drive to bond has the greatest effect on employee commitment, for example, whereas meeting the drive to comprehend is most closely linked with employee engagement. But a company can best improve overall motivational scores by satisfying all four drives in concert. The whole is more than the sum of its parts; a poor showing on one drive substantially diminishes the impact of high scores on the other three.When it comes to practical implications for managers, the consequences of neglecting any particular drive are clear. Bob Nardelli's lackluster performance at Home Depot, for instance, can be explained in part by his relentless focus on the drive to acquire at the expense of other drives. By emphasizing individual and store performance, he squelched the spirit of camaraderie among employees (their drive to bond) and their dedication to technical expertise (a manifestation of the need to comprehend and do meaningful work). He also created, as widely reported, a hostile environment that interfered with the drive to defend: Employees no longer felt theywere being treated justly. When Nardelli left the company, Home Depot's stock price was essentially no better than when he had arrived six years earlier. Meanwhile Lowe's, a direct competitor, gained ground by taking a holistic approach to satisfying employees' emotional needs through its reward system, culture, management systems, and design of jobs.An organization as a whole clearly has to attend to the four fundamental emotional drives, but so must individual managers. They may be restricted by organizational norms, but employees are clever enough to know that their immediate superiors have some wiggle room. In fact, our research shows that individual managers influence overall motivation as much as any organizational policy does. In this article we'll look more closely at the drivers of employee motivation, the levers managers can pull to address them, and the "local" strategies that can boost motivation despite organizational constraints.The Organizational Levers of MotivationAlthough fulfilling all four of employees' basic emotional drives is essential for any company, our research suggests that each drive is best met by a distinct organizational lever.The reward system. The drive to acquire is most easily satisfied by an organization's reward system -- how effectively it discriminates between good and poor performers, ties rewards to performance, and gives the best people opportunities for advancement. When the Royal Bank of Scotland acquired NatWest, it inherited a company in which the reward system was dominated by politics, status, and employee tenure. RBS introduced a new system that held managers responsible for specific goals and rewarded good performance over average performance. Former NatWest employees embraced their new company -- to an unusual extent in the aftermath of an acquisition -- in part because the reward system was tough but recognized individual achievement.Sonoco, a manufacturer of packaging for industrial and consumer goods, transformed itself in part by making a concerted effort to better meet the drive to acquire -- that is, by establishing very clear links between performance and rewards.Historically, the company had set high business-performance targets, but incentives had done little to reward the achievement of them. In 1995, under Cynthia Hartley, then the new vice president of human resources, Sonoco instituted a pay-for-performance system, based on individual and group metrics. Employee satisfaction and engagement improved, according to results from a regularly administered internal survey. In 2005, Hewitt Associates named Sonoco one of the top 20 talent-management organizations in the United States. It was one of the few mid-cap companies on the list, which also included big players like 3M, GE, Johnson & Johnson, Dell, and IBM.Culture. The most effective way to fulfill the drive to bond -- to engender a strong sense of camaraderie -- is to create a culture that promotes teamwork, collaboration, openness, and friendship. RBS broke through NatWest's silo mentality by bringing together people from the two firms to work on well-defined cost-savings and revenue-growth projects. A departure for both companies, the new structure encouraged people to break old attachments and form new bonds. To set a good example, the executive committee (comprising both RBS and ex-NatWest executives) meets every Monday morning to discuss and resolve any outstanding issues -- cutting through the bureaucratic and political processes that can slow decision making at the top.Another business with an exemplary culture is the Wegmans supermarket chain, which has appeared for a decade on Fortune's list of "100 Best Companies to Work For." The family that owns the business makes a point of setting a familial tone for the companywide culture. Employees routinely report that management cares about them and that they care about one another, evidence of a sense of teamwork and belonging.Job design. The drive to comprehend is best addressed by designing jobs that are meaningful, interesting, and challenging.Cirque du Soleil, is committed to making jobs challenging and fulfilling. Despite grueling rehearsal and performance schedules, it attracts and retains performers by accommodating their creativity and pushing them to perfect their craft. Its employeesalso get to say a lot about how performances are staged, and they are allowed to move from show to show to learn new skills. In addition, they get constant collegial exposure to the world's top artists in the field.Performance-management and resource-allocation processes. Fair, trustworthy, and transparent processes for performance management and resource allocation help to meet people's drive to defend. RBS, for instance, has worked hard to make its decision processes very clear. Employees may disagree with a particular outcome, such as the nixing of a pet project, but they are able to understand the rationale behind the decision. New technology endeavors at RBS are reviewed by cross-business unit teams that make decisions using clear criteria, such as the impact on company financial performance. In surveys, employees report that the process is fair and that funding criteria are transparent. Although RBS is a demanding organization, employees also see it as a just one.The Role of the Direct ManagerOur research also revealed that organizations don't have an absolute monopoly on employee motivation or on fulfilling people's emotional drives. Employees' perceptions of their immediate managers matter just as much. People recognize that a multitude of organizational factors, some outside their supervisor's control, influence their motivation, but they are discriminating when it comes to evaluating that supervisor's ability to keep them motivated. Employees in our study attributed as much importance to their boss's meeting their four drives as to the organization's policies. In other words, they recognized that a manager has some control over how company processes and policies are implemented.Employees don't expect their supervisors to be able to substantially affect the company's overall reward systems, culture, job design, or management systems. Yet managers do have some discretion within their spheres of influence; some hide behind ineffective systems, whereas others make the most of an imperfect model. Managers can, for example, link rewards and performance in areas such as praise, recognition, and choice assignments. They can also allocate a bonus pool in ways that distinguishbetween top and bottom performers. Similarly, even in a cutthroat culture that doesn't promote camaraderie, a manager can take actions that encourage teamwork and make jobs more meaningful and interesting. Many supervisors are regarded well by their employees precisely because they foster a highly motivating local environment, even if the organization as a whole falls short. On the other hand, some managers create a toxic local climate within a highly motivated organization.Although employees look to different elements of their organization to satisfy different drives, they expect their managers to do their best to address all four within the constraints that the institution imposes. Our surveys showed that if employees detected that a manager was substantially worse than her peers in fulfilling even just one drive, they rated that manager poorly, even if the organization as a whole had significant limitations. Employees are indeed very fair about taking a big-picture view and seeing a manager in the context of a larger institution, but they do some pretty fine-grained evaluation beyond those organizational caveats. In short, they are realistic about what managers cannot do, but also about what managers should be able to do in meeting all the basic needs of their subordinates.At the financial services firm we studied, for example, one manager outperformed his peers on fulfilling subordinates' drives to acquire, bond, and comprehend. However, his subordinates indicated that his ability to meet their drive to defend was below the average of other managers in the company. Consequently, levels of work engagement and organizational commitment were lower in his group than in the company as a whole. Despite this manager's superior ability to fulfill three of the four drives, his relative weakness on the one dimension damaged the overall motivational profile of his group.Our model posits that employee motivation is influenced by a complex system of managerial and organizational factors. If we take as a given that a motivated workforce can boost company performance, then the insights into human behavior that our article has laid out will help companies and executives get the best out of employees by fulfilling their most fundamental needs.How to Make Big Strides in Employee MotivationThe secret to catapulting your company into a leading position in terms of employee motivation is to improve its effectiveness in fulfilling all four basic emotional drives, not just one. Take a firm that, relative to other firms, ranks in the 50th percentile on employee motivation. An improvement in job design alone (the lever that most influences the drive to comprehend) would move that company only up to the 56th percentile -- but an improvement on all four drives would blast it up to the 88th percentile.Direct Managers Matter, TooAt the companies we surveyed whose employee motivation scores were in the top fifth, workers rated their managers' ability to motivate them as highly, on average, as they rated the organization's ability to fulfill their four drives. The same pattern was evident within the bottom fifth of companies, even though their average ratings on all five dimensions were, of course, much lower than those of companies in the top fifth.Harvard Business Review,Jul-Aug2008,Vol. 86 Issue 7/8, p78-84二、外文译文:译文:员工激励Nohria Nitin; Groysberg Boris; Lee Linda-Eling让员工将工作做到最好,即使是在令人讨厌的工作环境下,是管理者最持久的挑战。

STUDY CASE(企业员工激励.案例研究)国外作者:Cristian Valentin HAPENCIUC,Andrei-Alexandru MOROŞAN 文献出处:《The Annals of The "Ştefan cel Mare" University of Suceava》, 2010字数统计:英文2105单词,11151字符;中文3612汉字外文文献:EMPLOYEE MOTIV ATION IN THE COMPANY.STUDY CASEAbstractA firm’s performance is in a direct link with the resources it involves, namely material, financial and human resources. If in the case of the material and financial resources the diagnosis and improvement processes are relatively simple, the human resources imply more complex issues. The first condition for a firm to obtain performance (in terms of human resources) is recruiting staff with appropriate qualifications. But conforming to this criterion does not lead automatically to the elimination of human resources issues. Currently, the vast majority of firms employ qualified personnel with experience in the field, yet many of them record an inadequate performance in human resources. This is due to staff motivation. In addition to employing qualified personnel with experience it is necessary that it be motivated adequately. But motivation can be achieved through a variety of forms, salary bonuses and benefits such as cell phones, cars, products at promotional prices, program flexibility and more, all having a different impact.This article explores the effectiveness of various manifestations of motivation,trying to determine its optimum structure. For this purpose an analysis was made of a firm that obtained a significant improvement in performance, while maintaining material and financial resources constant. The company applies many ways to motivate staff, so it was possible to analyze the impact of each one. Following this analysis an indicative hierarchy of motivational methods was created. The results of this study can be used and adapted in any companies that want to improve the quality of their human resources.Keywords: human resources, motivational methods, personnel, motivation, motivation structureINTRODUCTIONMotivation is defined as the action of orienting ones behavior to a specific goal. There are a lot of theories that try to explain, how and why motivation function as is does. The simplest explication of how motivation functions is “the need to minimize physical pain and maximize pleasure”, there are a lot of needs that may act as a motivator (e.g. eating, resting, or a desired object, hobby, goal, state of being, ideal). Other theories attribute motivation to less- apparent reasons such as altruism, selfishness, morality, or avoiding mortality. (Seligman M, 1995)INCENTIVE THEORYThis theory is one of the oldest, and it states that presenting a reward (tangible or intangible) after the occurrence of a certain action will cause the behavior to occur again. The theory is based on the fact that the subjects mind will associate a positive meaning to the behavior. (Maslow A., 1970).The time passed since the occurrence of the action and the moment when the subject is presented with the reward is also very important, it has been shown that for shot periods the impact is greater than for longer ones. If this cycle of action–reward is repeated it is possible to convert that action into a habit. (Goldthorpe, J.H. and others, 1968)This theory depicts motivation as a very simple process, but in reality there are alot of factors that influence it. There are a lot of motivational techniques and it is hard to decide which one is the optimum for a given situation. (Kerr S., 1995)EMPLOYEE MOTIV ATIONOne of the most important uses of motivation is in a company. Organizations employ workers to perform certain tasks; these workers need to be motivated in order to perform their tasks with maximum productivity. The traditional motivator for a worker is his salary, but in many cases that isn`t enough. Companies use a lot innovating tactics to keep their productivity at a maximum level. Some of them imply material rewards, others imply psychological motivators. ( Weightman, J., 2008) Analyzing from the perspective of the motivational factor we can speak of two types of motivation:• Intrinsic motivation is generated by a factor that comes from within the subject (beliefs, feeling that what he does is important, modality, the perspective of learning something new).• Extrinsic motivation is generated by a factor that comes from the exterior (e.g. salary, material rewards, good reviews). (Lepper, M.R. and others, 1973)A very important theory in the field of motivation is Maslow`s pyramid. In his work Maslow has created a hierarchy of needs felt by an individual (Maslow A., 1970) . At the base of his pyramid Maslow put physiological needs; for an individual found under their constraint money is a perfect motivator. But after these need are satisfied the individual will advance on Maslow`s hierarchy and his needs will change, this implies the fact that the motivator will change as well ( Goldthorpe, J.H. and others 1968). At higher levels of Maslow`s pyramid, are placed needs that are satisfied with praise, respect, recognition and empowerment, money having a small impact. ( Steinmetz, L., 1983).EXPERIMENTSGiven the extremely important functions played by motivation and its complexity, over time there have been a lot of researches and experiments. One of theseexperiments was made by Sam Gluxberg. Gruxberg determined from this experiment that extrinsic motivations (such as material rewards), put pressure on individuals, having negative effects on creativity. For tasks whose solution is obvious extrinsic motivations are working as they should increasing performance, but for tasks whose solution is more complex, extrinsic motivation backfires, having negative effects on performance.Given Gluxberg conclusions in 2005 a team of researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, led by D. Arily conducted a similar experiment. The MIT researchers conclusions were similar. Some researchers suggested moving the experiment to another country, where the standard of living would be lower, this suggestion being made on the basis that the U.S. standard of living is quite high and extrinsic motivations (such as material rewards) have lost some of their effect. As a result a set of research was conducted in India, a country with a low living standard and a sum of money which is irrelevant to an American, is significant for an Indian. In India the results of the experiment were identical to those in the U.S.. Therefore it is not a question of living standards. The conclusion of the two experiments is that if the task is complex the motivation uses must be intrinsic (within the employee) and if the task is simple the motivation uses must be extrinsic. But this conclusion is lacking applicability. It is hard to believe that an employee operating only on intrinsic motivation will perform tasks in the interest o a company for a period of time. In order to prove this point of view we take a look at Malov`s theory.According to Maslow's pyramid individuals will be motivated in the first phase of basic needs (needs such as food, clothing, security), those on the first two levels of his pyramid. Only after these two needs will be satisfied they can advance. In an attempt to meet these two basic needs, individuals will be attracted to extrinsic motivations. Later, after satisfying the first two levels, they will advance. Only in this second phase they will present a greater openness to intrinsic motivation. It is worth mentioning that in this second phase they will have to maintain the first two needs at an optimum level of satisfaction, therefore they will maintain a certain sensibility to extrinsic motivation (Maslow A., 1970). Gluxberg used in the experiment subjects,who most likely had past the first three levels of the pyramid, therefore they were not affected by strong constraints such as lack of food or security.If we were to superpose the two theories, that of Maslow and Gluxberg we get a more complex scenario, which would be more realistic. Individuals in the first phase will be very sensitive to extrinsic motivations, once these needs on the first level of Maslow's pyramid are met, their sensitivity will change to intrinsic motivation (this sensitivity will vary in direct proportion to the level attained in the hierarchical pyramid). But after this shift, the sensitivity for intrinsic motivation will vary depending on the complexity of tasks individuals have to perform. A graphical representation is depicted in graph 1 and graph 2.Also, an employee can carry out activities with a medium or high level of creativity only when his needs are located at least at the third level (or higher) on Maslow's pyramid. In the motivation process it is very important to take into account the specific work undertaken. Employees are extrinsically motivated (rewards) and for those carrying out a complex task which requires cognitive and creative functionsit is recommended the use of intrinsic motivation, extrinsic showing multiple limitations. Gluxberg's conclusion is a bit naive and inappropriate application (for cognitive and creative activities to relate to intrinsic motivation, extrinsic ones having a negative effect), but combined with Maslow's theory, it takes on a new dimension that can have great practical utility.STUDY CASETo demonstrate the functionality of the above principles, we conducted a study on a company with 60 employees. We chose a company that has two divisions: automotive service (35 staff) and an auto sales (25 employees), the choice was based on the consideration that the service division performs tasks does not require much cognitive and creative functions (vehicle diagnoses being provided by a computer, other operations being described by the vehicle service manual), and the sales unit witch perform opposite task, they must be very creative in direct marketing, addressing customers so as to persuade them to opt for products distributed by the company. Another consideration on which this company was chosen is the forms of motivation applied. In table 1 these forms of motivation are enumerated.It is worth mentioning that the company allocates similar resources for the two forms of motivation (graph 3).Within this company a survey was conducted among all employees, trying to determine the effectiveness of various forms of motivation. Employees were applied a questionnaire which contained several questions, one section include a list of all forms of motivation applies, they were asked to tick a degree of effectiveness for etch one, from their point of view. The results of this query support Gluxberg theory, the employees from the sales department have agreed intrinsic motivation is more effective than extrinsic motivation, while those in the service department had a reverse reaction.If we were to relate only to Gluxberg`s theory the general motivation of employees from this company should be low, due to the fact that this company applies the two forms of motivation equally. But the same survey also had a section to quantify the overall motivation of employees (graph 4).As shown, Gluxberg`s theory is not valid in practice. The experiment studiedmotivation isolated from other factors. If we were to relate the conclusions derived from overlapping Gluxberg with Maslow's theory, the results are validated. The company applies the two forms of motivation (approximately equal) and obtains a relatively good motivation (approximately 75% of employees).As a possibility of improving employee motivation in this company, it is recommended to easily apply the two forms of motivation distinct among the two divisions (graph 5). It's hard to say which would be optimal; it must be found by repeated tests.CONCLUSIONSThe results of a series of experiments conducted under controlled conditions are not always appropriate to be applied in practice, these experiments provide very important contributions, but they should be correlated with both existing theory and the issues identified in the companies. Gluxberg's experiments have made very important contributions on forms of motivation that should be applied in modern society. But, the solutions given by his experiments, can`t be applied in practice, they are not taking into account all the factors that act on an employee. If his conclusions are related to existing theory they become feasible, consequently, suited to the situation found in companies. Managers must take into account the situation of employees, the needs that they show (placing them on a certain level of Maslow's pyramid), but also the specific work performed by them (involving cognitive and creative activities or not). Following these findings, managers are able to identify thepredominant form of motivation recommended for their company. And then through successive adjustments to identify the optimal point (these adjustments are necessary, because economic theory provides an indicative distribution, every company and every employee has certain features that are hard to take into account).中文译文:企业员工激励.案例研究摘要企业的绩效与其涉及的资源,即物质、财务和人力资源直接相关。

员工激励外文翻译文献(文档含中英文对照即英文原文和中文翻译)原文:Employee Motivation: A Powerful New ModelBy Nitin Nohria, Boris Groysberg & Linda-Eling LeeHow to create the best employee performance is manager for a long time of challenge. In recent years, the neural science, biology and evolution of interdisciplinary research areas such as psychology, humans have told us four basic emotional needs, and the force driving or what we all the basis of their behavior. The empirical research shows that, but the employee can create better performance. Therefore, to motivate employees, managers should understand the driving force and can take what measures to meet the driving force.Acquirement: Get people always try to get some things, to increase the scarcity of his happiness. When the force satisfied, we will feel happy. Conversely, it will feel dissatisfied. This force is often the relative (we always compare themselves with others), and it was difficult to satisfy (we always want more).Combination: Many animals are combined with their parents and relatives or close relationship between population, but establish the relationship between human expanded into larger groups, such as organization, community and nation. "Driving", people will generate loving, caring, strong positive emotions, etc. Conversely, it will appear as negative emotional loneliness cynical. In the work environment, when the staff for oneself is a member of the organization are proud of their motivation and will greatly improve, And when they had rebelled against their will and morale.Understand: We are eager to understand about the world around them, and then put forward various theories to explain all things, and put forward the reasonable action and countermeasures. When things seem pointless, we will feel frustrated, While looking for answers to questions, the challenge will let us full of passion. In the working environment, workers work done if challenging, and allows them to grow and learn, they will be incentive, And when they do look no value or no future, will be demoralized.Defense: In the face of threats defense, to protect themselves, to protect our property and achievements, family and friends, thoughts and beliefs, it is natural to us. This force is rooted in the "fight but fled" basic response, this is common, but most animals to humans, it not only the offensive or defensive behavior, but also to build a system to promote seek justice, clear goals and intention, and allow people to speak freely. These forces have been fulfilled, people think and self-confidence otherwise will fear and hate strong negative affection.These four driving are independent of each other, no secondary, also cannot substitute mutually. To fully motivate employees, managers must satisfy all four driving force. In fact, every emotional force can use different organizations leverage to satisfy the most effectively.Reward System: "gain" the most easily through the organization of driving system of rewards. Of course, it also depends on the organization's reward system can effectively define employee performance, will reward with different performance, and give the best chance of promotion of personnel.Culture: If it meet the "combination" force among employees, cultivating strong friendship, the most effective way is to establish a promote teamwork, cooperation, open and friendly culture.Post designing: It is satisfied with “understanding” force that it is the optimal way to design a meaningful and have fun and challenging positions.Performance management and resource allocation process fairness, credible, transparent, performance management and resource allocation process, help satisfy people's "defensive driving".In addition, the direct supervisor for employees and motivational degrees plays an important role as organizational policy. Although do not expect to staff the whole company boss incentive system, culture, post design or management system exerting significant effect, but they clearly superior in their influence within the scope of a certain power. For example, in recognition, managers can select and tasks, the rewards and employee performance.In the organization of managers only under the condition of the utmost efforts to satisfy all four driving force, the employee can most effectively improve the incentive effect on employees, improve the organizational performance.Copyright © 2008 Harvard Business School Publishing Corporation.

The rapidly changing demands of the market rapidly changing constantly updated the organization. However, no one is willing to see his talent was away. Once the excellent employees leave, the enterprise will hit. If hope to help enterprises package and career development plan, training programs, like tinkering with the free flow of his talent market today, affirmation in isolation. Now, we have a choice: that is attractive to market-oriented strategy. This strategy, long-term, defies generalizations for employee loyalty is neither possible nor necessary, the enterprise can definitely need to keep employees and leave them what how attractive scheme, will focus on the talent to keep up.Today, many enterprises in staff loyalty are dependent on salary, but many attractive salary is a kind of mechanism. Other personnel loss can be used to reduce the method is: the post to design - the United States through the heavy UPS tedious work load from the driver package for other employee, stripping there was more to keep the driver, To cultivate employees work or specific project team loyalty, Hire skills in talent market demand is not high on the staff, The staff in the work place much temptation job-hopping, And other companies to provide staff into pairs across the company's career path. If there is no way to prevent loss of personnel, the enterprise can also use outsourcing, strengthen job, workwill hire employees and standardization, cross training around theshort-term organizational work, etc.If the past management methods of retaining staff to maintain a fixed water dam, so the new management methods are more like a flowing rivers, dredge its goal is to prevent water flow, but the flow direction and speed control.Copyright © 2003 Harvard Business School Publishing Corporation.

Reichheld & Paul Rogers 2005-11-01In the era of wooden, transport and the crew that recruits the appropriate command them to the same direction with traces the OARS will not be easy. In the past, the captain of the common approach is waving the whip crew. Now, in this business, enterprise how to motivate employees when?Recently, in order to solve the problem of all kinds of organization is a constant headache, some companies began to staff’s compensation and team performance hook, let the customer and employee's supervisor to assess performance instead. These examples:In the enterprise, the branch managers, employees want to get promotion, they belong to the service quality team to achieve or exceedthe average company, or any single people could not get a promotion. This company USES the performance index called "enterprise rental company service quality index", its meaning for customer service in asking whether satisfaction, what percentage of people playing a full five points.Applebee restaurants have difference to finding the best performance, 20% of the staff is divided into general 60%, performance and 20% of the worst performance, and separately calculated the loss. If managers can successfully hold the top 80% of the employee performance, it can obtain the reward. If the 20% of employees for worst performance, the managers will not be punished accordingly.Copyright © 2005 Harvard Business School Publishing Corporation.
