WEEK 4 DISCUSSION
Part 1:

Motivation
is the psychological process that arouses and directs behavior. There are three
theories that will help us understand the motivation of employees in the
workplace.
Goal-setting
theory – Suggests behavior can be motivated with specific, challenging goals
that are obtainable. The key to goal-setting theory is ensuring employees
understand what is expected and accept the goals.
Self-efficacy
– Is the belief “I Can/Can’t Do this Task.” Self-efficacy is the belief in
one’s personal ability to do a task. There is a lot to be said to scoring high
in this trait. People who are confident about their ability tend to succeed,
whereas those who doubt their ability tend to fail.
Reinforcement
theory – Explains how behavior can be altered by administering positive or
negative consequences to actions of employees. Behavior with positive
consequences tends to be repeated, and behavior with negative consequences
tends not to be repeated.
For this
week’s discussion, I want you to take a moment to think about what it would
take to motivate you to achieve your goals at work, and what it would take to
motivate people that you’ve worked with, or your family or friends, to achieve
their goals.
Of the four
areas of study listed above, which would you focus on first?
Make
sure to explain why you chose this area, and why it would take precedence over
the other areas.
