Abstract
Work motivation is an important determinant of the success of individuals, teams, and organizations. Researchers and professionals are therefore interested in motivation as a key variable that can explain performance, commitment, and work satisfaction. This chapter provides an introduction to classic theories of employee motivation and current applied research. Finally, the chapter will introduce the 3C-model of motivation as a framework for the comprehensive classification of the determinants of employee motivation.

Notes
- 1.
The name “two-factor theory” might confuse some readers because it seems to suggest that there are only two factors. Motivators and hygiene factors are used in their respective plural forms to indicate that there are in fact more than just two factors in each case. The name of the theory therefore indicates “two independent groups of factors.”

The 3C-model was initially published as the “compensation model of work motivation and volition” (Kehr, 2004b). The original title referred to one of the central assumptions of the model, namely, that volition can cover for insufficient motivation. Because of the potential confusion with “worker compensation,” however, the name was changed to the “3C-model.”
