Answer 1: Managerial
implications of need-based motivational theories with addition to
that which need-based theory pose a challenge to manager overall is
explained below :
- Understanding each one of the needs
to motivate as prescribed by the motivational theories for a
manager is key to address the motivational issues at the workplace,
As one person's motivation drive will not be the same as another
which impacts the manager to take decision on motivating.
- Looking into both the motivational
theory as Maslow's hierarchy of needs & ERG thoery of
motivation managers implication on it as per organization/workplace
is key in managing motivation whereby it starts to provide a safe
workplace with job security addition to make the employee motivated
to manage the overall job effectively. Both need
theories to pose a challenge for managers in motivating as it goes
with the strict hierarchical structure that requires managing the
person's ambiguity & stress at all levels added to the
job.
- Both the need thoery of motivation
can be implied by the manager as an individual, but they are
distinct with each other which one focus on the hierarchy of need
that goes from basic to esteem & other speaks about the three
categories of needs as Existence, relatedness & growth which
thereby affect the managerial decision of motivation. Assessing the
needs with these theories, in addition, it challenges a person has
with border interaction throughout the firm, with professional
growth may take a manager longer to work on it. Defining a
team-based structure that addresses all the needs with more
challenges at border perspective is required to address on
motivational aspects addition to job insecurity if a persons role
is not clear.

not single thoery can benefit the managers one a single pace.
Managing the challenges overall need-based theories within
implications of it by understanding the core aspects of motivation
is the key. So the managers are liable to look into implication of
these theories not on single thoery but try to integrate all the
theories to make the motivation on going to manage the workplace
better.
