Radiological Control Training for Supervisors
DOE-HDBK-1143-2001
Student's Guide
For employees to be motivated, there must
be a clearly defined relationship between
performance and rewards (compensation
system). There also has to be a link between
effort and performance. The supervisor must
be aware of an individual's effort and
consequent performance.
The supervisor must provide feedback to the
employee that will enable the link between
effort and performance to be more direct.
C. Reinforcement theories
The basic tenet underlying reinforcement
theories is that people are motivated by rewards
for their behavior. People work because they
are rewarded. A reward is considered
something of value to the employee. The most
basic is compensation (pay, benefits, leave
time). Other rewards include recognition and job
prerequisites. Following this theory, supervisors
should assess the rewards and recognition given
to their employees.
IV. Tools of motivation
A. Goal setting
Goal setting is one of the most researched areas
of motivation, the basic conclusion is that goals
motivate people. A goal is something that a
person tries to attain, achieve, or accomplish.
Once a goal is set, behavior is based on the
attainment of that goal. Specific goal-setting
techniques will be presented later.
