Mclleland's Achievement Motivation

Adam's Equity Theory
- key concepts are comparison and perception. Comparison can be inside the organizations, as the salaries of the coworkers, or external, as the wage rates of the other laboratories.
Skinner's Reinforcement Theory
- We repeat performances for which we are positively rewarded, or we avoid actions that bring about undesirable consequences.

Examples of the application of this theory to the workplace are goal-related management models such as management by objectives (MBO) and total-quality management (TQM).
