In chapter 9, you learned about many different theories for why employees are motivated to perform well. Even though none of the theories has been completely supported, each has something to offer. For this weeks assignment in an APA formatted Word
Document, address the following:
- Based on your research, what are three (3) of the strongest motivational theories/techniques to increase employee motivation? How do they increase motivation? And why are they the strongest?
- Based on your research, what are three (3) of the weakest employee motivational theories/techniques that actually decreases motivation? How do they decrease motivation? And why are they the weakest?
- Now based of the various theories you have read, design your own theory of job motivation and satisfaction. Feel free to borrow as much as you want from each of the theories discussed in your textbook and your research (be sure you cite any of those theories that are not your own).
Your paper should be a minimum of 400 words and may be as long as you need it to be.
