    The document analyzes different motivation theories and applies them to case studies of 6 recent MBAs. The author uses a table to mark which theories can explain each individual's motivations. They choose the ERG theory and 2-Factor theory as best explaining most cases. For ERG theory, they show how each person aligns with aspects of growth, relatedness, or existence needs. For 2-Factor theory, they demonstrate how each person found motivation from meaningful, satisfying job aspects rather than just job security.
