® Study.com Business 307 - Assighnment 2: Motivational Theory Leadership is a major component of an organization's culture and the organizational behavior of its employees. Learn more by completing this assignment on motivational theory. Review the types of sources to research, the grading rubric, steps to complete before submitting the assignment, and how to submit papers. About this Assignment Keeping employees motivated is an important element of leadership and organizational behavior. In this course, you've learned about how employee morale is vital to a business's success. In a 2500 to 3000-word essay, research a case study of a company attempting to increase or maintain employee morale. Dissect these examples through the lens of an appropriate motivational theory from the course. Evaluate whether or not the initiative was successful in your opinion, and propose what you might have done differently and why. For example, at one point LinkedIn gave each of its employees an iPad mini as a gesture of gratitude for employee contributions to the company. Questions someone could ask about this gesture include the following. What motivational theories apply to this example? What was LinkedIn trying to accomplish through this gesture? Do you believe it was successful? Why or why not? What, if anything, would you have done differently and why? Remember to research your own example and create your own evaluation (please do not use the LinkedIn example above). Related Lessons Chapter 9 - Motivation Theory - from the course can help you with this assignment, including the following lessons: * The Needs Theory: Motivating Employees with Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs * Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory: Hygiene Factors & Motivation * Acquired Needs Theory: Need for Achievement, Fowei & Aftili e Equity Theory of Motivation in Management: Def¥higlofPR ER§HAyRY with today?
