Leadership methods, organizational role systems, and employee attitudes have a significant impact on organizational culture. Employee motivation and team performance are directly related to organizational success, making it essential for organizational leaders to balance employee satisfaction and profitable production. However, organizations may sometimes need to change existing role systems in order to meet organizational goals. This change may create stress on employee relationships and team dynamics and erode employee motivation and performance.

In this Discussion, you will compare content and process theories of motivation and examine their impact on work behavior and performance. You will also identify motivational factors that are important to consider when implementing organizational change.

To prepare for this Discussion:

• Read Chapter 5 in the course text, Organizational Behavior and Chapters 4 and 5 of The Sage Handbook (Vol. 2). Focus on the similarities and differences between content and process theories of motivation.
• Read Chapters 6 and 15 in the course text, Organizational Behavior, and the articles in this week’s Learning Resources. Reflect on the steps of the organizational change models and causes of resistance to change. Then think about which motivational factors may be important to consider when addressing resistance to change.
• Select one content theory and one process theory to compare for this discussion. Consider how each explains work behavior and performance.
• Identify three motivational factors that would be important to consider when implementing organizational change.

By Day 3

Post a response to the following:

Compare one content theory of motivation and one process theory of motivation. Then explain how each theory explains work behavior and performance. Finally, list three motivational factors that are important to consider when implementing organizational change and explain why. Be specific.

Write a page answering the following questions.

Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format. 

How are the S-curve and the product lifecycle different? Are they the same concept applied in different ways, or are there distinct insights that can be obtained from both models? 

Based on your experience, what do you think the greatest challenge is for a leader that is attempting to lead innovation within an organization? Why? 

The project is aimed at the process of management and its functions in real organizations and the legal, moral, and ethical dilemmas we face as individuals and in our roles as part of the managerial process.  Further, each situation will be fraught with ethical considerations and ramifications. you will search, discuss, analyze, and report information. you will play both roles() . The point is that as managers, clarity of thought influences not only the quality of their life but all those who work for them.  As decision-makers, managers often need to be willing to take a position and try to influence others to make a decision that they try to promote.  To be effective, they should be willing and able to describe their rationale for the choice they made.  

After a topic is assigned, you will develop PowerPoint slides to support their position (20 slides max, not including references slides listing your sources). each person may clarify/defend their position.  Furthermore, the instructor may also question if they feel a position lacks merit. Additionally, instructors will look at the quality of your questions and answers to other students and at the end, a student’s rationale for choosing one side of an argument over the other.

The point of this exercise is to help each of you develop clarity of thought. Be advised that instructors may ask pointed questions from each student to determine whether the basis of a position is an opinion or rationally based ideas on these topics.  Just as with other assignments, facts, figures, and expertise, carry a lot more weight when arguing a position that does opinion alone.

Give the instructor and other students facts when arguing positions.  Facts, data, and analysis in addition to insight are all potent tools in any manager’s arsenal.  Finally, please note that some positions will be easier to argue than others when grading, instructors will take that into consideration as well.  So even if it seems the other side has an easier position to defend, instructors will compensate for that issue.
