An Attempt on New Systematization of Work Motivation Theories

Abstract: The paper deals with a semiotic analysis of work motivation theories developed in the second half of the twentieth century. These theories stem from different theoretical backgrounds, varying in ideas as well as in their impact to work motivation reality. For a student approaching this field it might seem to provide an overwhelming situation in an area of study filled with contradictory theories. The method used in this study is similar to one historians use when analysing development in a human society-semiot… Show more

“…When the students do not experience e. g. the development of thinking during his/her education, he/she cannot assess this teaching method as important for his/her motivation in the questionnaire despite the need to develop the thinking strategies in the education is evident (Krejčová, 2013). Kolman, Chýlová and Selby (2012) suppose that structure of motivation is culture-specific. The preference of teachers' expertise in our study can be related to the ideology of motivation that Kolman, Chýlová and Selby (2012: 95) called the protestant ethic, in that the value is attached to hard work that is necessarily connected with acquisition of knowledges and expertise.…”

“…Some issues of motivation in education process can be related to the issues of work motivation, because children observe and learn the interests, values and attitudes towards responsibilities of their parents. Kolman, Chýlová and Selby (2012) try to systematize current theories of work motivation. According to their research in the Czech Republic, the older, less educated respondents from the country margins understand job performance differently in comparison with younger, more educated inhabitants who live in the central part of the country.…”

“…The Expectancy-Value Theory (Wigfield and Eccles, 2000) proposes that motivation is influenced by the perceived likelihood of success and the value assigned to the task. Kolman et al (2012) categorize work motivation theories into content, process, and situational types, showcasing the diverse perspectives in this domain. Heckhausen (2018) highlights the evolution of motivation research over time, with a current emphasis on identifying and understanding the factors that shape human behaviour.…”
