Why do people work? “Because when people work, behave in a manner different from that displayed when you have fun? One of the most difficult questions facing the entire head is able to discriminate clearly the problems caused by lack of motivation for those others who have a different origin. Do not know or can not? If we could develop the ability to know when a decline in performance is due to a decline in motivation, much of the daily problems of concern to the head would be completely resolved. What I want to clarify this article is that many performance problems that do not have a motivational origin are treated as if they had, thus achieving very poor results. Similarly, other performance issues if they have a clear motivational origin are facing as if they do, we will also very poor results. A model to study To determine when a performance problem has a source in the absence of motivation, Michalak and Yager, have developed a model to discover the simple and fast cause of any problem, as well as the corresponding solution: 1 .- Identification of the discrepancy in behavior 2 .- Cost-benefit Analysis 3 .- skill or knowledge deficiency 4 .- Aid Training Work Practice 6 . Change Transfer work or cease 9 Inconsistency reward-punishment 11 .- Obstacles inadequate feedback in the system 1 .- Identification of the discrepancy in behavior First, as all, is to identify the problem. Not just their symptoms An example: absenteeism and the level of waste are symptoms. Problem is that an employee violates safety rules that are wrong in doing their work, which yield 20% lower than exper, etc. In other words, comparing what should be achieved with what is being achieved.

(Results vs. planned objectives) 2 .- Cost-benefit analysis Here the question is: Is it worth making any effort to change the situation? How we win or perdermos in time, money, security, etc. 3 .- skill or knowledge deficiency problems in general performance are two typical causes: lack of knowledge and lack of motivation. Here one must make a fundamental question: Could do the job as expected?. If “no”, then the person does not have the skill or knowledge to do the work.

If the answer is “YES” means that the person can do the job but for some reason it does not, indicating that this is a problem of motivation. How to solve problems due to lack of skill or knowledge? The following points are mechanisms to solve the problem of skill or knowledge: a. – b. Working Help – c. Training – Practical d. – e. Change work – Transfer or dismiss How to search for motivation problems To seek to solve the problem of motivation is often investigated in the following points: a reward-punishment “Inconsistency” What is expected is not what you get. ” b. – Feedback inadequate There is insufficient information of the work. Did I do well or did wrong? .. total here that does not matter … c. – Obstacles in the system between the typical obstacles: too many tasks for one person, lack of equipment and supplies, lack of standards, etc. Perhaps your organization has some problems of motivation, and for this reason they hire people who “raise staff morale,” but you can do yourself. After reading this short article, I hope I have helped to “solve your problem.” Written by: Mr.
