ESSAY

 

1. Discuss the six theories of motivating personnel.

 

ANS:

• The most recognized theory of motivation derives from the work of Abraham Maslow, who developed Need theory, based upon human’s physical and psychological needs. Maslow argued that these needs affect human behavior patterns. His list of needs include, physical, safety and security, social or belonging, self-esteem, and self-actualization.
• The second theory of motivation is called Theory X and Theory Y. This theory was developed by Douglas McCregor in the late 1970s. Theory X maintains that management must direct the efforts of personnel and must motivate and control their actions. The belief is that people would ignore organizational needs if left to their own devices. Theory Y posits that people have only become ignorant or resistant to organizational needs due to prior bad experiences. As a result, it is management’s job to arrange organizational conditions so that people can achieve their own goals by working towards organizational objectives.
• The third theory of motivation is Achievement-Power-Affiliation Theory, originally developed by David McClelland. This theory argues that workers seek to achieve success through their own efforts, not necessarily based on other factors. The theory also posits that people like to work on projects that are challenging, but not impossible. Finally, proponents of this theory would argue that people like to receive identifiable and recurring feedback about their work.
• Fourth is Expectancy theory, which posits that if a certain amount of work or effort is put forth, a calculated outcome will result. That is to say, there is a certain expectation that hard work will produce a predictable result.
• The fifth theory is called Equity theory. This theory holds that an individual’s motivation level is affected by her or his perception of fairness in the workplace. Individual motivation must be understood in relation to how other employees are treated by management and/or the organization.
• Theory Z is the final theory of motivation. Theory Z is actually an extension of Theory Y and posits that management must come to grips with the fact that organizations, both private and public, can no longer exist in a social vacuum. Management must learn to deal with employee motivational problems in unique and diverse ways.

2. Explain need theory and relate it to a criminal justice personnel scenario.

 

• Abraham Maslow, who developed Need theory, based motivational factors upon human’s physical and psychological needs. Maslow argued that these needs affect human behavior patterns. His list of needs include, physical, safety and security, social or belonging, self-esteem, and self-actualization.
• Research in criminal justice has supported some tenets of Maslow’s theory. It has been demonstrated that older police officers and those with higher levels of education perceive control of their environments and some autonomy as critical to their job satisfaction.
• It has also been demonstrated that corrections officers report leaving their positions due to the inability of management to improve their working conditions, which may also include their safety and security.
• Bennet has argued that the structuring of police work makes it difficult for some officer’s needs to be met. For example, some departments have shifts that run twelve hours and involve a lot of waiting or idle time. Bennet has also found that some police departments had difficulty dealing with self-esteem needs of their officers.

3. Define and discuss quality circle programs.

 

ANS:

• Quality circle programs are defined as small groups of employees, usually non-management personnel from the same work unit, who meet regularly to identify and recommend solutions to workplace problems.
• Quality circle programs are based upon two assumptions. First, interactions among employees should provide for the maximum growth of the individual. Second, by providing conditions for the growth of employees, the organization will become more effective. In other words, it is in the best interest of the organization to promote the well being of the employee.
• Some probation and police departments have implemented quality circle programs with great success. Researchers have discovered that these types of programs serve those completing “people work”, well.
• While the research literature has been positive in regards to the implementation of quality circles into criminal justice settings, it would be naïve to suggest that they can be applied to all areas of the criminal justice system.

 

REF: pp. 150-152                               OBJ: L03

 

4. Explain management by objectives.

 

ANS:

• It is likely that no other innovation within management circles since the 1950s has had as much influence on organizations as management by objectives (MBO). It can be defined as a process whereby individual managers and employees identify goals and work toward their completion and evaluation within a specified time period.
• Among criminal justice organizations, Angell was the first researcher to suggest that MBO could have a positive influence on police agencies. Angell saw the democratization of police organizations as a step towards improving the delivery of services.
• Some researchers, however, have posited that MBO could be detrimental to police agencies. Sherman argued that this democratic model would be deleterious to police organizations because it grants decision-making authority to teams of police, thereby ignoring the traditional police hierarchy.

Archambeult and Archambeault believed that in order for MBO to work in any correctional setting, certain conditions must exist. First, administrative personnel must truly be committed to MBO. Second, administrative staff must be able to receive criticism and suggestions from employees. Third, any MBO program must take into consideration the organization’s power structure.

5. Explain equity theory and relate it to criminal justice agencies.

 

ANS:

• Equity theory posits that an individual’s motivation level is affected by her or his perception of fairness in the workplace. Individual motivation must be understood in relation to how other employees are treated by management and/or the organization. The theory rests on two fundamental assumptions: individuals evaluate their own interpersonal relationships as they would any other commodity; and second, individuals develop expectations about their evaluation in the organization equivalent to the amount of individual contribution they make.
• For criminal justice organizations, the perception of inequity is fostered by a number of factors beyond the control of administrators. For example, the rigid structure of public contracts limits the ability of criminal justice administrators to deal with inequities. As such, employees may perceive a disjuncture between their work performance and the pay of other similarly situated employees.
• Within criminal justice organizations, employees perform a number of duties that go beyond typical pay considerations. Pay incentives, such as those seen in private industries with performance bonuses, simply do not exist within a criminal justice position.
• Equity theory can be applied, however, when one considers that being treated fairly and with respect goes a long way in positions where the primary motivation to perform is limited and appeals to more intrinsic rewards.
