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 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.

Step 2 – Post a Response

Respond to the following.

• Take a moment to think about what it would take to motivate you to achieve your goals at work, which theory would you use and why?
• In reflecting on either an experience at work or with a family or friend, how can you motive them to achieve the goals in their lives? Which motivational theory would you use and why?

Managers spend 1/3 of their time communicating up and down the  organizational hierarchy. Communication is the transfer and  understanding of information from one person to another. The  communication model comprises of several parts.

We want to examine the Communication Pathway or medium in which  communication is delivered. The Communication Pathway is the pathway  messages are sent, including:

• face-to-face meetings,
• electronic mail and online discussions,
• written letters or memorandums, and
• telephone or voice-mail, among others.

While some people may be better at using  certain mediums over others, certain mediums can be better suited for  the specific message being conveyed.

For this week’s discussion, suppose you are a manager who needs to communicate several messages to employees of the company.

  Messages   1. The CEO abruptly resigns after the news media reported, the CEO embezzles millions of dollars
2. A plan to relocate the company
3. The death of an employee
4. The reassignment of one division to a new location    

• For each of the messages above:
  • List the medium (telephone, email, text, face-to-face meeting, etc.) you would use to communicate the message.
  • Explain why you choose that medium over the other possible mediums.
• Then, look at the messages from a general sense and explain how your choices affect trust and credibility among the employees.
