ACT SSC Business — Unit 4
Motivation Theories — Flashcards & Quiz
Motivation theories explain what drives employees to perform at work and how managers can influence effort, retention and productivity. ACT SSC Business Unit 4 expects you to describe Maslow, Herzberg, McGregor and Vroom, compare their assumptions, and apply them to real management scenarios. Strong answers evaluate the theories against context — a Herzberg fix works for a white-collar team but may miss the point for minimum-wage frontline staff.
