The
relationship between the organization and its members can be greatly influenced
by what motivates individuals to work. The style of leadership, job design,
resources on the job, and environment can all have a significant effect on the
satisfaction of employees and their performance. Performance is also influenced
by individual motivations (e.g., social, recognition, financial reward,
personal growth and development, and/or intrinsic satisfaction) and can equally
impact the organization. There are many theories that attempt to explain the
nature of motivation. Write a four- to five-page paper (excluding the title and
reference pages) evaluating the relationship between motivation, job
satisfaction, and work performance. Be sure to address the following:
a.
Describe a performance issue which resulted from a
motivational problem (what, why, who).
b.
Use a content theory of motivation (e.g., Maslow,
Alderfer, Herzberg, or McClelland) or a process theory (i.e., Adams, Locke, or
Heider and Kelley) to explain how the issue creates a performance problem for
the organization.
c.
Use the theory of motivation you selected to describe
an intervention/action to change the motivation/behavior and correct the
performance problem.
Your
paper must use a minimum of three scholarly sources, in addition to the
textbook. Your paper must be formatted according to APA style as outlined in
the Ashford Writing Center..
