David McCellands’s
Theory
There are three major relevant motives or
needs in workplace situations.This theory is
closely assosciated with the achievement
motive. These motives are:
to evaluate the effects and results of current policies, programmes and practices
§
to provide an objective basis for revision of current policies, programmes and practices
§
§to keep management abreast of its competitors by replacing old products by new products, old
techniques by new techniques & old organisational practices by new old organisational practices and
to discover ways and means of strengthening the abilities and attitudes of employees at a good or a
§
2. Statement of Problem :
The most important step in personnel research is to state the
problem concretly and explicitly. Once the problem is clearly
identified the next step is to develop the hypothesis of the
suggested answers. The final step is defining the concept.
3. Statement of Method and
procedure :
Method and procedure refer to the arrangement of condition for
collecting data in a manner that ensures relevance and economy.
Method and procedure will differ depending upon the nature of
research problems and hypothesis. An important part in this section is
the identification and selection of a sample group.
The researcher also has to mention what is dependant and independent
variables are. Dependant variables are the reactions, responses and
behaviour. An independent variable is one who effect on dependant
variable is to be seen. Next is to consider method of data collection,
questionnaire, rating scale, interview or simple observation of
behaviour.
4. Statement of Results :
Results based on information collected refer to the relationship of
dependant- independent variable. They may support or reject the
hypothesis. A clear statement concerning the acceptance or
rejection of the hypothesis is the key function of results.
Application of statistics quantifies the data, facilitates analysis
and summarises the data to permit generalisation.
5. Statement of Analysis and
Implications :
The personnel researcher must visualize the implications of the
result and utilize them for policy formulation and decision-
making. The result should not be narrowly viewed to find only the
answer to the problem faced. It should also be seen in a larger
perspective which may support a theory or a conceptual
framework. The personnel researcher ought to point out the
limitation of a study because this will open avenues for future
research. The ultimate aim of a personnel research is production
of organisational behaviour and this possible if a large number of
variables are tested and their effect on behaviour is established.
The findings from research studies are of little or no value unless
they are translated into personnel policies and practices.
Summary :
Personnel Research is an important activity of
personnel manager. It helps in reviewing
existing personnel policies and developing
more effective systems. It also helps in
anticipating personnel problems and building
up existing body of knowledge.
