Luthans' Behavioral Model

Luthans' Behavioral Model emphasizes that employee behavior in organizations is influenced by three key factors: their traits (personal characteristics), the work environment, and their current motivation levels. It suggests that no single factor determines behavior alone; instead, behavior results from the interaction between an individual’s personality, the organizational setting, and how motivated they feel at the moment. Managers can influence performance by shaping these factors—enhancing motivation, creating a positive environment, and understanding individual traits—to encourage desired behaviors and improve organizational effectiveness.
