Introduction
There are available theories about working motivations, each theory remain deep analysis and develop different aspects Managers need to be flexible to apply these theories to develop organization, due to develop the Human Resources and organizational capacities There chosen 2 of total theories that seem more efficient application to our organization, Maslow, the Pyramid of Needs and Herzberg the Motivation and Stability, below:
Part I WORKING MOTIVATION & PHYSIOLOGICAL MANAGEMENT THEORIES
I Maslow, Pyramid of Needs, an Overview
Physiologist Abraham Maslow (1908-1970) regarded as the leading of
humanistic psychology According to Abraham Maslow, human being needs appropriate in accordance with the hierarchy from low demands to high demands Whenever the human being and a group of needs are satisfied, the needs become equally and form no motivations
Maslow arranged the hierarchy of Human being needs with the 5 classified, below:
- Physiological needs
- Safety needs
- Social needs
- Esteem needs
- Self-actualizing needs
1 Physiological needs:
Physiological needs are the basic needs that sustain human being life, such as: food, clothing, drinking water, housing, etc Abraham Maslow reasioned
Trang 2demands have not been satisfied to the extent necessaries to maintain life, the other needs will not push people forwardly The physiological needs are the most basic needs and most powerful needs that man In the pyramid, we see that these needs are classified in the first level: the most vital level Maslow considered that a higher level of needs will not upgrade unless these basic needs are met And these basic needs will urge human to take actions that basically achieve Human-being motivations
2 Safety needs
Safety needs mentioned about the needs to avoid physical dangers; threats of job
loss, security of private property, etc It is said that whenever people are met their demands of physiological needs, when the needs of next upgraded level will be improve and motivate them to go forward Meanwhile, the demand for safety and security will begin to be activated These safety needs referred to both mental and physical aspects Human –being always needs to be safe out of dangers and unsabilities These needs become the engine operation in emergency events, and
dangerous cases of life, such as war, natural disasters, etc For example: as the Children mental reaction of a sense that occurs when they feel lack of safe security such as: agitation, crying for their parent rescures, the desire to be comforted as well These demands are often confirmed by the desire for stability in life, to live in
the safe security environment, safe legal system of social life, safe shelters to have a house to live and grow Therefore, there develop a human behoviors to seek sheltered supports by religious beliefs, philosophy theory is also due to security needs, this is the search for emotional security In addition, social insurance regime and the regime of retiremental policy as well as social welfares, these targets human usually reach in their life as motivations of behaviors
3 Social needs
Each individual is a member of society, and they require to be accepted as an important part of society People always require their interal needs of love and
Trang 3belongingnesses This third upgraded level of human needs clearly show that human needs communications to develop and to belong to any social organization forms that to communicate, express thierself and develop their abilities
This demand is also known as the desired needs of belongingnesses into an organization or the need for emotions (needs of love) These needs express through the communication processes such as: searching partners, making friends, friendships and relationships as well as finding lovers, getting married, joining a community, taking part in work, going to a picnic camp, joining into a club, participate in a social group, working team work and a community
This demand is proven as a trace of the live of herd of our original species since the dawn of humanity Although, Maslow classified this demand as the third after 2 above needs, but he insisted that if this demand is not met for human being needs, it can cause severe emotional, mental as well as physical damages to human
health and spiritual life For example: In many recent studies, scientists also reason that single people often suffer from diseases than couple who live with their families, such as: of the digestive, nervous, respiratory distress We also know that:
the loneliness can easily damage to human being life Many new grown teenages in this society suiside to leave this world as the reason started from behaviors They persuade their reasons that their parents as well as society did not understand their spiritual, attitudes and behavior facing this developing society, likely that: "The people around, no one understands me!"
4 Esteem needs:
According to A.Maslow, when human - being begin to meet to be accepted as members of society, they tend to ask to be self-esteem and want to be respected by society Demands lead to be satisfied these fields, such as: power, prestige, position and confidence
Trang 4These are the human desires that to receive the recognizations, cares and respects from those around environment of soiety In addition, human - being look forward to be recognized as an "indispensable chain" in the social labor force system and society It is clear that being respected means that each individual expected to become a useful part Therefore, people motivate to have high position
in society and organization for respect and development
5 Self-actualizing needs :
A Maslow considers this is the highest demands of hierarchy It is the highest expectations that human – being always tries to reach during their life Releasing human’s potential with maximum targets and certain goals that accomplish strong motivation urging human in general and work force forward in their life
It is the desires and efforts to achieve of each individual life People find out themselves needs to motivate working on their interests on completing their job and satisfied feeling These arrangements of Human needs from low to high level are classified The higher-level needs will be satisfied when the lower-level needs are met Thus according to this theory, leaders must pay attentions to the physical needs,
on the basis factors of survivals firstly And then, when the physical needs are met that makes gradually increased motivation to complete life, organizational behaviors and social developments with the higher demands
II Frederic Herzberg, Dual Structure Theory
This is a motivational theory based on the elements that make the satisfaction and
dissatisfaction of the people in the job According to Frederic Herzberg, the theory is
divided into two groups of factors, following:
Motivational factors: It includes factors that create human working
satisfactions, such as: working recognized achievements; individual recognitions, responsible empowerments; and appointed positions of advancements
Trang 5Hygiene factors: Including the organization's policies, governance, working
conditions, human social relations, financial safety, social welfares and wages
According to Frederic Herzberg, the maintenance factors is not the driving force factors, it is characterized by the conditional factor Therefore, If they exist in
a work environment with a number of high quality and they do not lead to satisfactory but does not have the effect of promoting or bring satisfaction However, without the existence of them will lead to dissatisfaction
According to motivate your employees at work should emphasize the motivating factor Although still limited, Herzberg's theory is also important in motivating employees From this theory helps managers to pay more attention to both factors, a combination of two factors to motivate employees
III The relatioships between two theories.
Based on the supporting ideas above, the relatioships between two theories Maslow‘s theory and Herzberg’s theory (Theory and Motivation Maslow's Needs and two-factor theory of Herzberg) relationship that can be represented by the following diagram:
Maslow pointed out in each individual of human being has needs that divided into five levels from low to high Whereas, Herzberg stressed two factors that
motivation and maintainance
Motivation of needs
Motivative targets
Bahaviors
Trang 6When people have already satisfied this element, they will apgrade higher demands demand than before However, to satisfy the demands, then a question is still to maintain previous demands When the goals that human set out to meet higher demands, their needs and motivations associated with goals that they set will constitute their behaviors So if in any enterprises, policies that ensure good
employees will stimulate workers eager to work Their behaviors will have positive impacts on the operations of enterprises On the other hand, if the regime's policies without discussions, enterprises will meet the demands for workers will not be able
to stimulate their enthusiasm to work
Maslow's theory has been widely recognized, especially in management and administration areas It is accepted because of the logical ideas and the refference which people can use their vision and experience to understand Maslow's hierarchy
of needs system used to be applied by many managers as a guiding tool to motivate employees in organization to motivate employee’s organizational behaviors
However, Maslow's theory, there are still some limitations This theory is only applied for the Western countries, the countries that thier traditional views of the needs always change This requires managers to know what needs to satisfy
As for Frederic Herzberg theory studies showed that besides the physical benefits such as salaries, bonuses are also a variety of other factors motivate employees as a promotion, work itself, achievement, shall all have a direct impact
on the labor force When employees feel good with their job satisfactions, their responsibility for the organization they will be responsible for working with the enthusiastic fervor and more efficient to be more respected

Trang 9- Facing difficulties and limitations exist in the motivation to work in the unit,
in general
- Facing the working volume and management: a large volume of work a lot, a large number of managed objects, manage of more than 30,000 people
- Employee problems: Personnel working in most of the young, the 100% level from college, university or higher But experience is not much work challenges; some professional training from real job is not suitable (eg economics, business management, etc.) to do social work, having a lot of difficulty towel should
be trained and retrained to suit assigned tasks and duties of a unit of work requirements; in a few officials in the quality of the unit is limited, leading to excitement work; the enthusiasm of the staff is not high because of a department of Governmental Office that prevent employees from challenges and motivations Therefore, employee working attitude and behaviors like day by day working For these workers, they need to deal with work and tasks are completed to match; meet the requirements of the assigned tasks and more challenges of working to satisfy other fields of life experience not only a position of working and getting salary in time

Trang 10pressures from family and society So, we have to encourage and advise them how
to resolve and remove the difficulties that they are facing
PART 3 APPLICATION PHYSIOLOGICAL MANAGEMENT THEORIES TO IMPROVE ORGANIZATION BEHAVIORS
To solve these above difficulties of living conditions, challenges of new working expansion, and working motivation as well as organization behaviors, there suggested several solutions In my opinions, there focus on these following targets:
- Build a collective organization to connect in work and management
- Apply individuality in working to motivate each individual power of creation, resposibilities, not only improve working efficiences but also develop social aspect
of social needs of labor force and to be respected as esteem human needs

- Training and improving labor force ability with appling courses to improve experience and up date knowledge, such as politics and language, managemental and admistrative skills
- Need to manage a human resource strategy, to rectuiment, traning, promotion and working motivation and promotion developed
- Recognization individual achievements to award and motivate To manage working efficience by achievement, benefits and individual responsibilties and assigned tasks to control the damages as well as benefits that each individual gain for organization
