This document discusses different theories of motivation. It describes Maslow's hierarchy of needs, which posits that people are motivated to fulfill basic physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, esteem needs, and self-actualization needs. Herzberg's two-factor theory distinguishes between hygiene factors like salary that prevent dissatisfaction and motivator factors like achievement that increase satisfaction. Expectancy theory proposes that motivation depends on the perceived value of rewards, the effort required to attain them, and the likelihood of receiving rewards for one's performance. Goal-setting theory suggests that specific, difficult goals that provide feedback can direct and sustain effort over time to improve performance.
Reach Peak Performance Through Employee EngagementSurveyTelligence
This document discusses how organizations can achieve peak performance through employee engagement.

Jesus often instructed those he healed not to tell others about the miracles. The document discusses several reasons for this "don't tell" policy. First, too much attention could have aroused Jewish leaders to oppose Jesus more vigorously before he completed his ministry. Second, Jesus wanted people to believe based on the works themselves, not just the publicity. As faith matured, believers were called to publicly proclaim Jesus as the Messiah. So the policy ensured miracles pointed to Jesus' identity while allowing faith to develop before widespread preaching began.

Relates to the question ‘why are you here?’ are you here to get good marks or to learn something new to help you achieve your goals?
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)?.

What assumptions are made in this talk?
What are the underlying assumptions?
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).
Self-Determination Theory
SDT
Doing an activity for its own sake because one finds the activity inherently interesting and satisfying.
Think about your core values and how they relate to the things you love doing.
What sorts of activities are intrinsicly motivating for you?
Intrinsic motivation
SDT
Doing an activity for an instrumental reason.
Some extrinsic motivation can be relatively controlled by external factors.
Some extrinsic motivation can be relatively autonomous - i.e. self-regulated through an individual’s acquired goals and values.

The document outlines learning topics on motivation from several chapters including:
- Defining motivation and discussing early theories like Maslow's hierarchy of needs, McGregor's Theory X and Y, and Herzberg's motivation-hygiene theory
- Contemporary theories like McClelland's three needs, goal-setting theory, reinforcement theory, and the job characteristics model
- Issues of motivation including expectancy theory, equity theory, and challenges of motivating diverse groups
This document summarizes several theories of motivation and how they can be applied in workplace settings. It discusses Maslow's hierarchy of needs, Herzberg's two-factor theory, expectancy theory, goal-setting theory, and various techniques for motivating employees including job enrichment, participation programs, quality of worklife programs, and reward systems. The key takeaways are that job satisfaction and performance are influenced by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors, and managers can enhance motivation by understanding employee needs and designing enriched jobs and goals.
Motivation is important for employee and organizational success. There are intrinsic and extrinsic factors that motivate employees. Intrinsic motivation comes from within and includes pride in work and sense of meaning. Extrinsic motivation involves organizational rewards like bonuses. Theories like Maslow's hierarchy of needs and Herzberg's two-factor theory describe factors that motivate employees. Principals can use strategies like recognition, feedback, and participation to motivate teachers. Developing a strategic plan using identified motivational factors can help induce motivation in staff members.
The document outlines a motivational plan developed by a team leader for her discouraged team working on a long-term project lasting a year. The plan applies several motivational theories to increase the team's motivation and performance. It breaks the large project into smaller phases to make it feel less overwhelming. The leader sets goals and provides feedback to track progress. Recognizing accomplishments and soliciting input increases ownership. The plan aims to satisfy intrinsic needs and encourage self-motivation to complete tasks on schedule and maximize contributions.

It lists the names and email addresses of the 7 presenters, and includes sections on defining motivation, the importance of motivation, early theories of motivation from Maslow, McGregor, Herzberg and McClelland, contemporary motivation theories, and integrating and applying motivation concepts to job design, employee involvement, and rewards.
Teams are becoming more popular in organizations as they allow better use of employee talents and are more flexible than individuals. A work team is defined as a group whose efforts are greater than the sum of individual inputs. Effective teams have adequate resources, clear leadership and structure, trust among members, and a performance evaluation system that rewards team efforts. Creating successful teams requires the right composition of members, roles, diversity, and size, as well as work design that gives autonomy and meaningful tasks. While teams often outperform individuals, they are not always the best approach and their success depends on factors like interdependent work and a common purpose.

Current challenges faced by Confidential Secretaries include implementation of new software to increase productivity and be in compliance with government regulations. Lack of motivation to continually learn new software and increase productivity. Lack of feedback from supervisors to support goals. Lack of communication between coworkers to share and meet goals.
With quickly changing technology and expectations to learn new software and increase production, we must understand what motivates employees to want to learn. Intrinsic motivation provides the motivation to engage the environment, pursue personal interests, and exert the effort necessary to exercise and develop skills and capabilities (Reeve, 2001). It is the motivation to WANT to learn.
According to the Cognitive Evaluation Theory, factors that influence people's feelings of self-determination and competence also influence their intrinsic motivation. Supervisory style, in particular positive feedback has been found to be one such factor (Deci & Ryan, 1985). Feelings of competence lead to job satisfaction, which in turn, leads to increased productivity (Spreitzer, 1995).
Develop learning teams to be trained on new software together and promote communication. Set clear goals throughout each new implementation. Meet with supervisor throughout implementation to receive feedback regarding goal process. Research shows that goal setting is most effective when there is feedback showing progress toward the goal (Latham & Locke, 1991; Locke, 1996).
Through the effective use of teams, each member’s skills can compliment the performance of the team as a whole. The team’s focus on performance motivates, challenges, rewards, and supports the individuals. The performance of the team is greater than the sum of its parts (Katzenbach, 1992).
With synergy the result is greater than simple team work. Potential for increased production is obvious.
By developing teams communication will be improved. Positive feedback from supervisors will promote intrinsic motivation leading to job satisfaction and increased production.
