Explanation

Motivation theories are classified into content theories (what motivates people) and process theories (how motivation occurs). McClelland's Achievement motivation theory is a CONTENT theory - it focuses on needs for achievement, power, and affiliation. Vroom's Expectancy theory, Adams' Equity theory, and Locke's Goal-setting theory are all PROCESS theories - they explain the cognitive process of motivation.
