The most important goal for my future is to obtain a satisfying career. Growing up I saw how unhappy my mother was working at a job that she hated just to make enough to provide for our family. I further understood how important a satisfying career was to me when I started working the graveyard shift as a dockworker during community college. I strongly disliked almost everything about the job including the exposure to extreme temperatures, the job’s filthy nature, the long and irregular hours, and most of all because it was unfulfilling. I was miserable with my occupation but I was dependent on it because it was lucrative and provided me with a way to support myself through college. I worked fulltime at this job for two years while also being a fulltime student until I transferred to SIU. The dread that I felt toward my job made me work harder academically because I knew that someday my hard work would amount to a career that I thoroughly…

Sigmund Freud, a Jewish Austrian neurologist that developed a wonderful theory in 1915 that stated all behavior is motivated and that the primary purpose of someone’s behavior was to serve the satisfaction of needs. This serves to be true in two or more situations in the common workplace. For instance, if company morale is low, there is a very slim chance that the company as a whole will be doing well. People are driven by their need to feel satisfied and wanted at the same time. Therefore, when others exhibit behavior that is non-favorable, it is most likely due to their lack of being satisfied. Behavior can either be motivated in a positive and negative direction.…

Initially I looked into starting college because of my younger sister. She has been a student at SNHU for almost a year. Right after she started she began do have doubts about whether or not she could finish a degree or not. I encouraged her in every way I could think of but nothing really helped until I enrolled in SNHU. She was so proud that she was able to help out her big brother with things that she had been through and this made her confidence soar. The second reason was my bucket list. I have been fortunate to be in the right place at the right time to have a great career. I have made plenty of money and achieved almost all my goals but a college degree so I figured that now would…

Choosing to attend college means that you are choosing to make a commitment, being a college student is a full time job. Between assignment deadlines, posting on discussion boards, listening/taking part in live chats, or reading your weekly chapters you can imagine the stress loads start piling up; but especially if you already have a busy schedule. I am a full time single mother. I have an amazing three year old, that I live for and I will die for. He is my inspiration and motivation all wrapped up in one. While he will help me through my journey (because I want to be a better person for him, and having an education leads to being a better person), he will also always come first to a higher learning. Having a strong motivation is of utmost importance to finding a reason to succeed in college. My motivation is simple, I stare at him every minute I can.…
Motivation is a multi-faceted process, and it is important to understand that all of these facets need to be running smoothly in order for workers to be motivated to perform at high levels. If just one component is low, motivation to perform well will also be low (Pritchard & Ashwood, 2008). When a manager finds motivation within their team to be low, it is important to take immediate and complete action. A four-step process that includes planning, evaluation of current motivation levels and diagnosis of the problem(s), identifying possible solutions, and finally going forward with the appropriate solutions and measuring results. In the case study: “Diagnosing and Improving Motivation (Pritchard & Ashwood, 2008)”, Jessica is doubtful at first that her team has motivation issues, but after some analysis, finds that it is indeed the problem. This paper explores the processes and motivational issues that Jessica must contemplate and improve in order to meet sales quotas for the year.…

Motivation is what causes us to act, whether it is in a positive way or a negative way. Completing my degree going to takes determination and commitment to complete external as well as internal. Completing my degree in Elementary Education is something I always wanted to do, but I wasn’t ready to drive to a four year college. Everyone was telling me to go to this college go to that college, but no one was helping me get started. Mr. William Roberts my advisor walk me through the whole thing. It took a lot of dedication and motivation going through the four steps of enrolling in this college.

We’re all going to have ups and downs, but it is how we handle them.…

Imagining organizations are where people continually extend their capacity to produce the results they truly desire, where new and wide range of thinking are cultivated. Then motivation would be the force behind to lead people within the organizations to act in a certain way. While now the trends in business are changing rapidly, competitions are more aggressive than ever. Probably only those organizations that are flexible, adaptive and productive would excel. Recognizing that, organizations need to tap the right people and get the best from them.…
