Mayo’s Motivation Theory

Description

This Mayo’s Motivation Theory Diagram slide for PowerPoint & Google Slides presents Elton Mayo’s concepts in a clear, four-quadrant format mapping Group Cohesiveness on the horizontal axis and Norms on the vertical axis. Each quadrant is rendered as a large gradient square—navy blue (Some Positive Impact), magenta (High Positive Impact), orange (No Impact), and gold (Negative Impact)—allowing audiences to quickly distinguish areas of influence. Bold arrows and axis labels reinforce directional flow, while “Team Name”-style text placeholders can be repurposed to describe specific behavioral outcomes or illustrative case studies.

Who is it for

This diagram is ideal for organizational development consultants, HR professionals, and business school educators explaining Mayo’s human relations theory. Corporate trainers can leverage the quadrant layout to facilitate workshops on team dynamics, while change management teams can use it to pinpoint how group norms and cohesion affect productivity and morale.

Other Uses

Beyond Mayo’s framework, adapt this slide to plot any two-factor analysis such as risk vs. reward, complexity vs. impact, or cost vs. benefit. Replace axis labels and quadrant titles to visualize SWOT elements, customer satisfaction drivers, or performance metrics. The editable gradients and vector shapes make it simple to rebrand the chart for strategic planning, stakeholder mapping, or executive briefings.
