¶ … Motivation Model interconnects both causal concepts and the intrinsic relationship between them. Every employee within the company will have a well-defined set of internal needs, motives and objectives. These were probably in place by the time he applied for the position within the company, but it is also likely that he will have acquired several more within the company, as soon as he realized how things worked.
The internal needs and objectives of the employee give way to a certain type of behavior or a set of actions that characterize the respective individual within the company, may it be related to his performances or to his social actions and his relationship with fellow colleagues.
The actions he performs allows the employee to fulfill goals which bring him the satisfaction related to the workplace. This means that his actions need to be stimulated in such a way that he will be provided with satisfactory incentives bringing him close to the original objectives he had at the time he entered the company.
It is at this point that the employee may discover new needs and objectives within the company, as soon as some of the others have been fulfilled (promotion is a good example in this sense: as soon as he is promoted to a new position, the employee will begin to make plans about achieving the subsequent position within the company's pyramid).
A leader within the company will need to adapt his cultural perception and inner values in order to best approach the individual needs of the employee. In many ways, it is the duty of the leader to find both the right incentives...
This seems obvious, given the fact that quantitative measurement refer to the evaluation of hard facts and data, generally of benchmarks that everybody within the company has to reach.

According to Darley, it is often the case that the persons cheat when performing the evaluation or they somehow manipulate the system accordingly.
If we take the Enron example, everybody, including the CEO had reasons to go to any length in order to achieve their benchmarks, because they had a duty towards the persons situated in the upper levels of their managerial pyramid. For the CEO and the board of directors, one can account for pressures from the shareholders, aiming for the company to have higher performances.
On the other hand, we should mention that the economic principle according to which the main goal of a company is to maximize its profits gives way to a very obvious question: are we to assume that all companies have unethical behaviors in order to meet their goals? In my opinion, this is not the case and the fact that Enron went consistently over the line and…

Organizational Change The Burke-Litwin Model contains twelve organizational variables. Each of these variables is interconnected, so that changes in one variable will affect the others. Also built into the model is the idea that change can occur as the result of a concerted effort to change multiple variables. Ideally, an organizational change program will be strongest when all of the different variables are aligned in the direction of the desired change.
