Towards a unified model of employee motivation

Abstract

The essentially social–cognitive job characteristics model and the largely cognitive expectancy model seem at first sight to be quite different, but just changing the terms used to describe the variables actually reveals substantial similarities. Such manipulation has enabled the authors to integrate the two models into one. Drawing upon their own current and research experiences into management practices in a wide range of organizations in the UK, internationally and their recent management audit of 3000 SMEs in the UK, the authors identify and evaluate a vital aspect of management theory and practice. It is hoped that the paper provides some signposts for future research. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
