Briefly explain the difference between content theories of motivation and process theories of motivation,and provide examples of each.

Content (or needs)theories of motivation focus on identifying and understanding the types of needs that drive behaviour and that could be used to motivate individuals.Examples of content theories used to identify the various employees' needs (which if unsatisfied will result in motivation)include Maslow's Needs Hierarchy,Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory,and Hackman Oldham's Job Characteristics Theory.Although many people have the same need,different individuals may choose different paths or behaviours to satisfy this need.Process theories,therefore,attempt to explain the process or actual ways in which individuals can be motivated.Examples of process theories of motivation include Reinforcement Theory of Motivation,Expectancy Theory,Attribution Theory,and Economic Theory.
