Workplace Motivation
For the Session Long Project, you will be writing about an
organization you currently work for or have worked for in the past and
applying the background materials to your own experience. So the first
step in this assignment is to choose an organization that you have
worked for that you want to write about.
Think about your own experiences at this organization, and how
motivated you were and what factors increased or decreased your
motivation. Then write a two to three page paper covering the following
issues:
- What steps did management at your organization do to motivate workers?
- Did management seem to apply Theory X or Theory Y for their motivation strategies? Or did they use elements of both?
- What needs in Maslow’s hierarchy does management at your organization try to address?
