ABSTRACT
Understanding Outcome-to-Need Satisfaction Connections Outcome-to-need satisfaction connections are the relationships between the level of the outcome and the amount of anticipated need satisfaction. They describe how much we expect outcomes to satisfy our needs. The more satisfaction we expect, the stronger our motivation to achieve the outcome. When you assess the strength of the outcome-to-need satisfaction connection, you are trying to find out how well the outcomes available in the work setting satisfy people’s needs. In other words, are the rewards in the reward system powerful enough?
