McClelland’s Theory of Needs (three needs theory)

This theory concentrates on three needs: achievement, power, and affiliation. They are :

• Need for Achievement-Excel, to achieve the standards set with regard to the push effort to By giving them challenges.
• Need for power - The need to behave in a way others do not behave. By empowerment.
• Need for the affiliation -The desire for friendly relations and close interaction.- by performing the best in the cooperative.

Equity theory

Employees perceive what they get from a job situation(outcomes) in relation to what they put into it (inputs) and then compare their input-output ratio with the input-output ratio of relevant others

 So, there won’t be any argument with regrades to that and everyone will look in to earn more. 

Motivation is a method to encourage people to work towards the goals. There are many theories to motivate people. Some of the motives involve money, and some aren't.
