This eBook is aimed at leaders, managers, business owners, entrepreneurs, HR people and employees who want a simple overview of motivation theories and how they work in practice. Different concepts provide different models and perspectives and underpin our knowledge about employee motivation. The more theories managers are familiar with, the better equipped they are to understand diverse employee motivational needs, and the more knowledgeable they will be about designing, developing, and implementing appropriate motivational programmes.
