Stereotypes and Motivation

1.) Name one stereotype you have heard about government employees.

2.) Offer your personal thought and opinion as to whether or not this stereotype is generally true.

3.) Motivation: Consider your own aspiration to work in government or in a non-profit. Share what motivates you to pursue this path for your life.

Motivation is a key component in employee productivity and overall organizational success. Understanding why people behave as they do is an important step in predicting and managing behavior. There are many theories of motivation. Three important theories are Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, McGregor's Theories X and Y, and Herzberg's two-factor theory.

In your own words:

Describe and evaluate one of these important theories of motivation. First, choose a theory and describe the claims it makes. What does it say about why people act as they do? Then explain why, in your view, the theory you have chosen is or is not effective in predicting individual behavior. Do people actually behave the way the theory claims that they do?

Chapter 3 Discussion

What motivates people? Why are people motivated? What motivates you on the job? Is it the same thing that motivates your peers? Why does a person go through all the scrutiny and open their lives to the public to run for public office? Why did Joe Gibbs return to the NFL after already winning the Super Bowl a couple of times and having a huge success as a NASCAR owner to again coach the Washington Redskins? Why do these people do this? For money? For power? For achievement? For self-satisfaction?

Our authors❝ state in chapter 3 that the study of motivation assists leaders to understand what prompts people to innate action. What influences their choices of action, and why they persist in that action over time? And they do this by presenting three classic content motivation theories, reinforcement and equity theories, and the carrot and stick approach to motivation, the concept of empowerment.

Post your response on the Discussion Board. Your response should be a minimum of 300 words, grammatically sound, and free from spelling errors. Be sure to comment or respond to at least two of you classmates' postings.

Discussion question: What is your motivation theory? What major methods, techniques, and so on, do you plan to use on the job as a manager to increase motivation and performance?
