Motivational style for the project team

Abstract

One of the greatest challenges facing projects in the world is the manpower management. In all the projects whether small or large, man is considered one of the important factors in the advancement of the project goal. Making most of them interested in and satisfied with their duties to meet the goals of the project enjoys special importance, since when man is satisfied with his job, he unconsciously performs his duty with greater care and consequently will be happy. In order to achieve more and better efficiency, the motivational factors are identified and then we embark on the enhancement of the efficiency to satisfy these needs. By studying the content theories of motivation and the specifications of the project in this paper, the motivational factors are determined for the project staff. The most important presupposition of the existing motivational theories formed in the bed of organizations and communities, is the presence of a rather stable group like an organization. Therefore, for a project whose most important specification is being temporal, the above-mentioned theories are not applicable and the project fails to have a fixed group of personnel. Therefore, the personnel is not permanently present over the whole period of the project. Therefore, with regard to this fact, the content theories of motivational factors are specially studied for the personnel of a project and at the end, the motivational factors for the personnel of a project are introduced and an appropriate processing theory which is more suitable for the employed managers is presented.
