Clayton P. Alderfer's ERG theory from 1969 condenses Maslow's five human needs into three categories: Existence, Relatedness and Growth.
1. Existence Needs
Include all material and physiological desires (e.g., food, water, air, clothing, safety, physical love and affection). Maslow's first two levels.
2. Relatedness Needs
Encompass social and external esteem; relationships with significant others like family, friends, co-workers and employers . This also means to be recognized and feel secure as part of a group or family. Maslow's third and fourth levels.
3. Growth Needs
Internal esteem and self actualization; these impel a person to make creative or productive effects on himself and the environment (e.g., to progress toward one's ideal self). Maslow's fourth and fifth levels. This includes desires to be creative and productive, and to complete meaningful tasks.

Motivation is like an accelerator in a vehicle. A vehicle keeps moving at the pace decided by its accelerator. The moment accelerator is reduced, vehicle’s speed reduces and it may come to a standstill if there is no further acceleration. Alternatively, if brakes are applied, there will be an abrupt reduction in the speed of the vehicle and it may come to a standstill.
This is true to human beings as well. As long as they are motivated they keep working and producing extraordinary results. The moment there is a drop in their acceleration (motivation), results start diminishing. Of course, applying brakes (dissatisfaction/demotivation) certainly bring them to a halt. The only difference is that unlike a vehicle, human beings have different types of accelerator and brake.
Therefore, the book, Why My Horse Doesn't Drink' will help readers to identify the ways that may accelerate or slow down the speed of their team members. Chapter ‘How to motivate’ talks about the points that accelerate and chapter ‘How not to demotivate’ explains the factors that may work as brakes to performance. Thereby readers will be able to make best use of their vehicle (Team Members).

Question 2:

Motivation and Job Performance in Public Safety
Problem:
The local police department in Somewhere USA has been losing officers at an alarming rate. This medium sized city offers a competitive salary and funds recruits to train at the local community college. The total cost of recruiting and training a new hire was estimated to be $12,000. The leadership was alarmed and conducted exit interviews to determine the reasons for such high turnover. The major issues cited were lack of support for personal issues, no recognition for good performance, no punishment for those violating rules, poor communication, favoritism, lack of opportunity for advancement, and inflexible scheduling. The leadership desperately wanted to turn this around.
Motivation and Job Satisfaction related to Job Performance
Job performance has been portrayed as a combination of ability and motivation. Because motivation is a personal force, the level of motivation of others cannot be readily measured. Scholars recognize that employees’ attitudes and perceptions toward their jobs strongly affect their job performance. However, motivation may be difficult to measure and may not be directly linked to an increase in performance. One fact research has uncovered is that the organizational environment in which people work has a significant influence on their attitudes. Without a positive, supporting environment dissatisfaction will occur. Performance has been linked to motivation, ability, and working conditions. Satisfaction has been positively related to job performance. The Hawthorne studies at Western Electric was a major contribution to the field because it discovered evidence that productive worker are satisfied worker, not that happy workers were productive workers. Thus, organizational attitudes and cultures were seen as a more important aspect than individual workers.
Many motivational and job satisfaction theories have emerged in organizational research. Work motivation has internal and external forces that affect behaviors at work to determine intensity and duration. It deals merely with events associated with attitudes while at work. There are numerous definitions for job satisfaction including an individual’s positive or negative attitude toward their job, positive feelings about one’s job based on their evaluation of the job characteristics, or the collection of feelings and beliefs that individuals have about their jobs. Job satisfaction is defined from the employee’s standpoint as a positive emotional state that results from appraising one’s job.
There are different approaches to study motivation. Because motivation is a phenomenon that cannot be directly measured, researchers must measure attitudes ...

Why are you here?
Small group discussion
Motivation
Equity theory – people will be motivated when they perceive that they are being treated fairly (transactional) – theory of motivation or observation of some people?
Expectancy theory – effort = good performance = reward > attractive reward (the perceived/learned relationship between effort and performance and the value of the outcome) – extrapolation of reinforcement/behaviourism. Learning by association.
Alternative theories
Motivation
Reinforcement theory – behaviours with positive consequences will occur more frequently than behaviours with negative consequences - behaviourism – positive and negative reinforcement, punishment and extinction; e.g. ‘incentivizing’ and bonuses.
Goal setting theory – people will be motivated to the extent to which they accept a goal and receive feedback toward achievement. It is based on the premise that conscious goals affect action.
More alternative theories
Motivation
Goal Orientation Theory – early conceptualizations from the 1970s. Most current research is based on Dweck’s (1989) theory of goal orientation (designed to understand children’s acquisition of new skills) – performance (perform well relative to others) v learning (improve skills) goals (situational characteristics or individual trait)?.

Motivation
SDT focuses on the ‘nature’ of motivation, that is, the ‘why of behaviour.’
The underlying assumption is that “human beings are active, growth-oriented organisms who are naturally inclined toward integration of their psychic elements into a unified sense of self and integration of themselves into larger social structures” (Deci & Ryan, 2000, p. 229).

Coaching Week 1 Forum PostIt was learned this week through t.docxvernettacrofts
Coaching Week 1 Forum Post
It was learned this week through the BUSI755 week one presentation that coaching got its start in the early 2000’s. Being that this field is relatively young it seems to still be forming. Underhill, McAnally, and Koriath, (2007) state that even the act of looking for a definition will yield many results. They go on to define the art of coaching as “The one-to-one development of an organizational leader” (Underhill et al., 2007, p. 15) Authors Bergquist and Mura, (2011) state that leaders find themselves in need of coaches due to solitude and confidentiality leaving which leave them with little to no outlets for sharing.
Concepts of Focus
The first concept covered is that of career coaching. Career coaching is guiding an individual along the path of where they currently are in their career to the next steps (Underhill et al., 2007) This process can be a challenge for many. In a study by Yera, A Ra, and Mihye, (2018) on Korean medical school students presented two opportunities: students enter schooling without a clear plan for their career then often form plan well after enrollment. In many fields people enter a career and find themselves with a desire to grow towards or transition to a new challenge in which a career coach can be of assistance. An interesting article by Smorczewska, (2018) presents the opportunity even form or construct your own leadership identity through development. Outside of the individual initiating the desire for a coach an organization may also desire to hire a coach for development of their top leadership as a way of performance development or retainment of top talent (Underhill et al., 2007).
The second concept covered is that of life coaching. For this aspect of coaching the focus is on personal goals such as financial or relationships (Underhill et al., 2007). A recent literature review defined life coaching as “A long-term efficient relationship that allows clients to maximize their potential” (Jarosz, 2016). The focus on the individual’s overall wellness in all aspects of their life help them to become the best version of themselves.
The third concept covered is content-specific coaching. This approach is used to enhance training programs already in place (Underhill et al., 2007). In an article by Crawford, Zucker, Van Horne, and Landry (2017) they provide three key dimensions and strategies that can be used with this coaching approach. The three dimensions are structural (Parameters of frequency, duration, etc.), process (Behaviors used to support change), and content (Topic of focus). The three strategies are reflective questioning (Used to determine how participants are responding), feedback (Used to identify strengths and weaknesses) and demonstration (Used to show how it looks). Overall it seems as though this is the most structured approach to coaching.
The fourth concept covered is appreciative coaching. Gatling and Harrah (2014) discuss how authentic leadership, a gen ...

Following on Burn’s[footnoteRef:1] (1978) articulation of the two approaches to leadership: transactional and transformational, Bass sets out to expand the latter longer-term approach, whilst highlighting the importance and relevance of their interdependencies and complementariness, as confirmed by meta-analytical studies (Podsakoff., et al., 2010)[footnoteRef:2]. Transactional leadership reflecting the relationship between managers and employees, whilst mediocratic, is seen as relevant where stable technology, workforce and the environment are stable, and rules and regulations may be sufficient to achieve pre-set goals through routine management, or transactional management.

However uncertain and unstable markets, short-term product life-cycles and fast changing technologies, may require transformational leadership. When leaders inspire through generating awareness and understanding of organizational missions, employees can be expected to prioritize organizational, to maintain the required flexibility to foresee and adapt appropriately.
Understanding changing market, environmental and technological conditions to effectively adapt leadership styles remains an ongoing challenge, to academics and practitioners to harmonize theory and practice. Many and frequent leadership changes occur ex-ante, reflecting fluid and challenging conditions often devoid of early warning signs and hence appropriate decisions and actions. Fostering transformational cultures can therefore be expected to better prepare organizations to face and effectively deal with the future demands through appropriate recruitment, selection, promotion, training and development.
The study was conducted on a small (300) and largely homogenous sample and would need to be broadened and enlarged, whilst the use of wider variety of instruments and methods is suggested, to gain relevance. The application of this study and its findings to a larger sector of industry or industries, may provide much needed relevance not only for the practitioners involved, but equally for academics searching for the support for the transformational leadership

Solution
WHAT IS LEADERSHIP
The first thing that we must do is to differentiate between the role of leadership and the functions
of leadership. The role of leadership refers to a position of authority in some organizational
hierarchy, while the function of leadership refers to the activities and processes that move a
group or organization towards the accomplishment of its goals. Many people think of leadership
has something that the formal leader does. However, leadership can be viewed is any act by any
group member that advances the effectiveness of the group. For groups to be effective, it is
generally believed that four functions must be performed, that is, four things must happen:
In some cases, the former leader performs all these functions. However, in most organizations
these functions are performed by a variety of people, structural mechanisms, and cultural
mechanisms. The role of leadership becomes more important in determining the effectiveness of
the group when other mechanisms fail to fulfill these functional imperatives.
LEADERSHIP EFFECTIVENESS AND HOW IS IT ASSESSED
Returning to the above discussion of leadership as the acts of the formal authority figure or
leadership as the mechanism to perform certain functions, we must distinguish between the
effectiveness of \"leadership\" and the effectiveness of an individual would referred to as the
leader. There is the conceptual question of what is leadership effectiveness and the practical
question of how do we evaluate individuals in leadership roles. The application question is: Is
Joe Torres an effective coach? Is Jack Welch an effective CEO? From the practical perspective,
the issues get very blurred depending upon who is doing the evaluation and the purpose of the
evaluation.
Ways In Which Leader Effectiveness Is Evaluated
Leaders are constantly been evaluated by organizational members, superiors, and the public.
There are four basic ways in which these groups evaluate the effectiveness of a leader.
Sometimes a particular group will use different approaches at different times. There is no one
best way or most appropriate way to evaluate a leader. The appropriate approach depends upon
the purpose to which the evaluation is to be used. Among the many reasons to evaluate a leader
are to determine whether leader should remain in the position, to help the leader develop his or
her leadership skills, and to improve the performance of a group. Listed below are the four
fundamental approaches used to evaluate leaders
Three variants of the normative process or mental model approach uses characteristics of the
leader as a metric of leader effectiveness. These characteristics can be viewed as predictors of
leadership success. The stronger the mental model supporting the relationship between these
characteristics a.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
Artificial intelligence (AI) offers new opportunities to radically reinvent the way we do business. This study explores how CEOs and top decision makers around the world are responding to the transformative potential of AI.

Know your employees: As Bolles mentioned, all cannot be motivated
based on one assumption. Given, the organization has over 25 Admin
facilitators (AFs) from 10 different countries, age groups from early 20s
to late 50s, different educational qualifications and prior experience, the
motivational factors will be of wide range. Knowing an employee
personally and discussing what motivates them before planning in
general is important. This also makes employees feel heard.(Friedman,
S. D., & Lobel, S, 2003).
Recognize staff: “Employees in an organization form global belief
concerning the extent to which the organization values their
contribution and cares their well being”(Eisenberger, R., Fasolo, P., &
Davis-LaMastro, V, 1990. pg.500)

5. Motivation Program contd…
Professional and Personal development: “Becker suggests that the
more one has at stake in an organization or, similarly, the more one
has accrued and thus could lose by leaving the employee system, the
greater the personal commitment to the organizations” (Hrebiniak, L.
G., & Alutto, J. A,1972)
Growth opportunities: “... a workforce has emerged that is more
educated, mobile, diverse, and discerning in work and life choices
than ever before.” (Stum, D.L, 2001,Pg.4)
Evaluation and Feedback: It directs the employee behaviour and
contributes to higher performance than absence. It is a means of
gaining reputation, making clarifications and regulating goal
difficulties. It helps employees to work with more involvement and
leads to greater job satisfaction. (Gliddon, G , 2004).

13. Goal Setting Theory
1960’s, Edwin Locke put forward the Goal-setting theory of
motivation. This theory states that goal setting is essentially linked to
task performance. The important features of goal-setting theory are as
follows:
(Locke, E. A., & Latham, G. P. 1994, Pg.14)
The willingness to work towards attainment of goal is main source
of job motivation.
Specific and clear goals lead to greater output and better
performance.
Goals should be realistic and challenging.
Better and appropriate feedback of results

14. Reinforcement Theory
It was expressed by Hull and his associates. It states that individual’s
behaviour is a function of its consequences. It is based on “law of
effect”, i.e, individual’s behaviour with positive consequences tends
to be repeated, but individual’s behaviour with negative
consequences tends not to be repeated (Hull, 1943).
This theory is a strong tool for analyzing controlling mechanism for
individual’s behaviour. However, it does not focus on the causes of
individual’s behaviour.
Positive Reinforcement- This implies giving a positive response
when an individual shows positive and required behaviour.
Negative Reinforcement- This implies rewarding an employee by
removing negative / undesirable consequences.
Punishment- It implies removing positive consequences so as to
lower the probability of repeating undesirable behaviour in future.
Extinction- It implies absence of reinforcements. In other words,
extinction implies lowering the probability of undesired behaviour
by removing reward for that kind of behaviour.

Editor's Notes
Clear, particular and difficult goals are greater motivating factors than easy, general and vague goals.
Realistic goals: Unambiguous, measurable and clear goals accompanied by a deadline for completion avoids misunderstanding. This gives an individual a feeling of pride and triumph when he attains them, and sets him up for attainment of next goal.
Challenging: The more challenging the goal, the greater is the reward generally and the more is the passion for achieving it.
Positive Reinforcement For example - Immediately praising an employee for coming early for job. This will increase probability of outstanding behaviour occurring again. Reward is a positive reinforce, but not necessarily. If and only if the employees’ behaviour improves, reward can said to be a positive reinforcer. Positive reinforcement stimulates occurrence of a behaviour. It must be noted that more spontaneous is the giving of reward, the greater reinforcement value it has.
Negative Reinforcement-Both positive and negative reinforcement can be used for increasing desirable / required behaviour.
Punishment-In other words, punishment means applying undesirable consequence for showing undesirable behaviour. For instance - Suspending an employee for breaking the organizational rules. Punishment can be equalized by positive reinforcement from alternative source.
Extinction-For instance - if an employee no longer receives praise and admiration for his good work, he may feel that his behaviour is generating no fruitful consequence. Extinction may unintentionally lower desirable behaviour.
