The name of each theoretical model is listed below. I just need help with a description of the type of change situation in the health field where each theoretical model best applies. I need at least a paragraph or two for each change model for each theory.

Goal Setting Theory- Gary Latham and Edwin Locke (1983).

Should have two main characteristics which are
1. The goals should be specific and measurable.
2. The goal should be challenging yet attainable.

Expectancy Theory-Victor Vroom (1964)
For managers the Expectancy Theory is very useful as it helps to understand a worker`s behavior and why they would lack in motivation.
VIE Theory
Valence- Strength of an individual`s want, need, or dislike, for a particular outcome.
Instrumentality- An individual`s perception that his or her performance is related to other outcomes, which are either negative or positive.
Expectancy- Individual`s perception that their effort will positively influence their performance.
Newsom (1990) summary of Expectancy Theory
The Nine C`s
1. Challenge- How hard the employee has to work for a job well done.
2. Criteria- Making sure to communicate to the employee the difference between good and bad performance.
3. Compensation-Does the outcomes associated with good performance reward the employee?
4. Capability-Employees` ability to perform well.
5. Confidence- Does the employee believe they can perform well enough?
6. Credibility- Does the employee have the confidence in the managers to deliver what is promised?
7. Consistency- Other employees receive similar outcomes for good performance and others receive less for bad performance.
8. Cost- The cost of employee`s time and effort to perform well.
9. Communication- Does management communicate well enough to work with the other C`s?
Maslow`s Hierarchy of Needs-Maslow (1954)
According to Maslow, humans have five needs and are driven to fulfill those needs.
1. Physiological- hunger /thirst.
2. Safety- security
3. Love and Belonging
4. Self-esteem
5. Self actualization
Maslow states how to satisfy these basic needs in employees:
1. Physiological is adequate salary and working conditions.
2. Safety needs would be in job security, security for the future such as retirement, medical plans, and a safe working environment.
3. Love and belonging (affiliation needs)- positive interactions with co-workers and managers.
4. Self-Esteem needs- Recognition, promotions, decision making.
5. Self-Actualization-Self fulfillment from job, autonomy, ability to create and demonstrate innovation in challenging tasks.
