Motivation

As defined in our text, (Schermerhorn et al 147) “motivation refers to the individual forces that account for the direction, level, and persistence of a person’s effort expended at work.” Motivation is a vital tool in any organization. Motivation is used as a means to stir up employees to cause them to excel in their position or performance. The many different theories of motivation can be divided into three expansive categories to include Reinforcement, Content, and Process theory. Our paper will focus on four aspects of the Content theory as each team member analyzes their own organization. Content theory suggests that different needs motivate diverse individuals to behave in a certain manner. Motivation results as defined in the Content theory as an employees attempt to satisfy their needs in the workplace.
