HSE Performance - Understanding Barriers

Principles of Hearts and Minds
Highly motivated people feel in control or feel powerful, competent and high
on self-efficacy. These people are intrinsically motivated to do their job.
Less motivated people don't feel in control or feel powerless, less
competent and low on self-efficacy. These people show less initiative.
Extrinsic rewards can move the locus of control from internal to external,
praise and reward for quality of performance may increase the internal
locus of control.
Under certain circumstances rewards and incentives may change
behaviour, but it is also true that intrinsic motivation may be hampered..
Although behaviour may be changed, underlying beliefs may remain
unchanged. This suggests that reversion to old behaviour patterns is very
likely.
Belief is a crucial factor in determining how and why people will behave.
Values may be acceptable but expectations will be driven by beliefs.
