Effective Organizations 1 Abstract The school reform movement seeks higher educational standards for all students, moving authority into the local school to develop new approaches and apply resources appropriately to meet the needs of all students, and new approaches to teaching and learning to meet the educational needs of modern society. The transition is fundamental, and there are very few incentives in place to energize such change. This paper presents an overview of the expectancy theory of motivation and its key implications for job design, goal-setting, and rewards. It then discusses the high involvement framework for organizational management-a framework explicitly based on motivational theory. Finally, it talks about the special issues encountered in motivating involvement in large-scale change. It makes the argument that many of the conditions to motivate school reform are not now in place; creating them will require fundamental change in schools.
