Similarities and differences for motivation theories?

[hdxx]

Does anyone have some good similarities and differences for motivation theories (Maslow, goal setting theory, four drives theory)

Thanks

hope this helps!

4 drive theory and hierachy of needs:
similarities- both theories aim to satisfy things (maslow - satisfy needs   &   four drive theory - satisfy drives)
differences - maslow's hierachy is sequential, where the employee needs to satisfy the lower level needs before moving to a higher one. whereas the drives in the four drive theory act independantly of each other. it is possible to work towards achieving 1+ drives at a time

four drive theory and goal setting theory
similarities - the achievement of fulfilling goal setting in the goal setting theory is similar to achieving the drive to acquire in the four drive theory
in both, the manager must understand the needs of their employees to be able to set appropriate goals and strategies that will motivate them.
differences - the goal setting theory is usually focused on achieving one goal at a time, but the four drive theory requires the employee to eventually satisfy all four drives

hierachy of needs and goal setting theory
similarities - both theories recognise the importance of recognition and feedback
and the achievement of a goal in the goal setting theory is similar to achieving the self esteem and self actualisation need in the hierachy
differences - maslow's hierachy is an ongoing process for the long term, but the goal setting theory is more short term where there's an ending once the goal is achieved
