  2. Employee recognition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Employee_recognition

    The track of scientific research around employee recognition and motivation was constructed on the foundation of early theories of behavioral science and psychology. [3] The earliest scientific papers on employee recognition have tended to draw upon a combination of needs-based motivation (for example, Hertzberg 1966; Maslow 1943) theories and reinforcement theory (Mainly Pavlov 1902; B.F ...

  3. Dual systems model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_systems_model

    The dual systems model, also known as the maturational imbalance model, [1] is a theory arising from developmental cognitive neuroscience which posits that increased risk-taking during adolescence is a result of a combination of heightened reward sensitivity and immature impulse control.

  4. Delayed gratification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_gratification

    Engaging in work or an assigned task can generate an effective distraction from a reward and enable a person to wait for a longer delay, as long as the reward is not being flaunted. Having the reward present during work (and easily accessible) creates a negative frustration—akin to teasing—rather than providing motivation.

  5. Stanford marshmallow experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_marshmallow...

    Additionally, when the children thought about the absent rewards, it was just as difficult to delay gratification as when the reward items were directly in front of them. Conversely, when the children in the experiment waited for the reward and it was not visibly present, they were able to wait longer and attain the preferred reward.

  6. Future orientation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Future_orientation

    The task that is used to measure delay discounting is a behavioral decision-making task in which people are asked to choose between an immediate reward of less value (e.g., $400 today) and a variety of delayed rewards of more value (e.g., $700 1 month from now or $800 six months from now). [1]

  7. Organizational citizenship behavior - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organizational_citizenship...

    An illustrative example of this theory in action is when an organization provides a conducive work environment (hygiene factor) along with regular employee recognition programs (motivator). This combination can significantly contribute to a motivated workforce, more inclined towards engaging in OCB.

  8. Work motivation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_motivation

    Work motivation is a person's internal disposition toward work. To further this, an incentive is the anticipated reward or aversive event available in the environment. [ 1 ] While motivation can often be used as a tool to help predict behavior, it varies greatly among individuals and must often be combined with ability and environmental factors ...

  9. Motivational salience - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motivational_salience

    Incentive salience is a cognitive process that grants a "desire" or "want" attribute, which includes a motivational component to a rewarding stimulus. [1] [2] [3] [9] Reward is the attractive and motivational property of a stimulus that induces appetitive behavior – also known as approach behavior – and consummatory behavior. [3]
