Document Summary
5 foundations of employee motivation. Employee engagement: an individual"s emotional & cognitive motivation. A purposeful goal towards work- related goals. This is important because it"s a strong predictor of employee & work unit performance. Employee engagement is an issue because most canadians aren"t engaged in their work. Needs are motivational forces of emotions channelled towards a goal that corrects the imbalance, the emotions that we become aware of. Individual differences in needs. People have the same drives but our experiences, self concept, social norms affect how: ex. Maslow"s needs hierarchy theory. Maslow"s needs hierarchy theory: theory for human motivation self- actualization esteem belongingness safety:need for security & stability physiological: what our physical body needs. Lowest needs (physiological) has to be satisfied first then, safety can be satisfied etc. (deficiency needs) Self- actualization is growth need b/c people want more even though it has been satisfied.
