motivaatiomallien

Motivaatiomallit are a concept in personnel management and organizational behavior developed in Finland. The model describes four different motivation patterns or styles that employees exhibit in their work. These patterns are based on individual differences in personality, attitude, and behavior and can be used to understand and manage employee motivation.

The four motivation patterns are: Change-maker, Performer, Controller, and Guardian. Each pattern is characterized by distinct personality traits, values, and work behavior. Change-makers are characterized by their desire to change and improve things, performers are focus on achieving goals and results, controllers are motivated by power and control, and guardians are focused on maintaining stability and security.

Understanding these motivation patterns is essential in fostering a motivated and productive workforce. By recognizing an individual's motivation pattern, employers can tailor their management approach to meet the employee's needs and preferences. For example, Change-makers respond well to opportunities for growth and development, while performers require clear goals and feedback.

The motivation models were developed by Finnish researchers and have been widely used in business and organizational settings. They provide a useful framework for understanding individual differences in motivation and can be used to improve employee engagement, job satisfaction, and overall organizational performance. Motivaatiomallit can also be seen as a cultural model, as it reflects Finnish values and work culture.
