Reward Satisfaction Model

These are but a few of them single event theory chain of events theory epidemiological models systems theory models multilinear events sequencing human factors models life change unit theory motivation-reward satisfaction models and the management oversight and risk tree model.

Other behavior type models have also become popular. The life-changing units theory surmised that accident potential is situational and that those persons exposed to certain stresses or events, such as the death of a spouse, were more open to accidents. Peterson s motivation and reward satisfaction model theorized that the ability to perform the work and level of motivation impacted accident liability, hi this model, fectors such as happiness, job advancement, and other intrinsic and extrinsic reward impacted motivation. Human factor models also developed. Dr. Russell FerreU from the University of Arizona formulated the Ferrell theory. This model theorized three overall situations that lead to human error that are in a causal chain leading to an accident... 

We may conclude, therefore, that the interaction between emotion and interest cannot be modeled in terms of competing costs and benefits. Concerning the short-lived emotions, the model correctly predicts that there will be a trade-off between emotional rewards and other rewards, but it fails to incorporate the fact that the trade-off itself may be shaped by emotion. Concerning the durable emotions, the model ignores that the pursuit of emotional satisfaction may be so fundamental to a person s life that all other considerations become secondary. In brief summary, the short-lived passions undermine the theory of the rational actor, whereas the durable ones undermine the theory of homo economicus.
