Managerial Motivational Practices and Motivational Differences between Blue- and White-Collar Employees: Application of Maslow’s Theory

Dora Najjar and Pascale Fares

Abstract— This study aims at investigating the motivational practices of management and the differences of motivational factors, based on the applicability of Maslow’s theory, between blue- and white- collar employees. Empirical data was collected through semi-structured interviews held in Lebanon. The various motivational factors of blue- and white-collar employees were explored. The interpretation of the findings manifests compliance and inconsistency with the theory. Moreover, the originality of the study stems from the application of Maslow’s theory on the investigation of potential differences in motivational factors regarding the job status.

Index Terms— Blue collar, Maslow, motivation, white collar.
