Analysis Of Peter Gibbons 's Work

Maslow’s hierarchy is used within organisations by employers as their employees have basic human needs and a right to strive for self-actualisation. Successful organisations will be ones who care, understand, encourage and enable personal growth towards their employees.

Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs was introduced in the mid-1940’s by Abraham Maslow; it is one of the most popular theories of work motivation to this day. the theory was originally used specifically in a psychological setting, but was made more popular by Douglas McGregor in the late 1960’s and began to be used by not only psychologists but managers as well (Steers & Porter, 1983). The hierarchy is based on the fact that human beings have needs, Maslow took these needs and separated them into five categories: physiological needs, safety, belongingness or social needs,

Through the use of this paper the agreement between Maslow and Rogers when it comes to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs will be shown. It will also focus on the humanistic and biological approaches to personality. According to Orana (2009), Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is a theory that is considered to still be valid today in the areas of management training, personal development, and the understanding of the motivation of humans. This theory was first introduced in the book Personality and Motivation which was

“After the War of 1812, the U.S. government needed to borrow money to pay off war debts. At this time in history, each state had its own bank. This meant that the U.S. government had to work with multiple state banks to borrow money. To solve this problem, in 1816 Congress decided to set up the Second Bank of the United States with branches in multiple states. Many of the states opposed the national bank because it meant that their state banks had to compete with the national bank for business.” Gibbons v. Ogden (1824) Many states in the early 1800s passed laws to protect businesses within their borders. New York gave two men the exclusive right of steamboat navigation on the state’s waters. One of the men was Robert Fulton, who invented the

The dormant commerce clause means that the national government has the exclusive authority to regulate commerce that substantially affects trade and commerce among the states. This also means that the states do not have the authority to regulate interstate commerce.

According to leading psychologist Abraham Maslow and his Hierarchy Of Needs model, human beings have a variety of needs that must be met before they progress. The need to be included and belong to a group is second only to the need for safety and food and water. If this need is not satisfied, the chronic anxiousness developed from wanting to be included could cripple success in correctly choosing between the decisions and judgements of daily life. This anxiousness is prevalent in literature and is expressed as fear of not belonging and become a social outcast. This fear of not being accepted into a population causes conformity, behavior that adheres only to accepted standards, which ultimately inhibits social progress.

Federalism is a system of government where the national government shares power with equally sovereign regional governments. The commerce clause allows the National government to regulate commerce international and interstate. This allows the government to keep control and manipulate laws into their favor. In the other hand, the sovereign states gain power and remain sovereign through the tenth amendment. This amendment gave the states all powers not delegated to the federal government. States have powers to make laws about schools, marriage, safety y, and health. In 1824, the case of Gibbons V. Ogden came to the Supreme Court. The court case pertained to fact that Robert Fulton was granted a monopoly for steamboats on the Hudson River.

Throughout the novel Freak the Mighty, author Rodman Philbrick creates conflicts which teaches the characters how lying is never beneficial. When Kevin, better known as Freak, receives the news that he will have a shortened life because of his birth defects, he lies to himself as well as one of the other main characters, Max. Kenny Kane, or “Killer Kane”, does not accept the fact that he murdered Max’s mother, so he tells himself that he had not. Additionally, Max’s grandfather, “Grim”, only wants Max to be a perfect child, so he portrays his childhood self as the ideal child, even though his childhood was far from perfect. In the story, the main characters learn that lying to themselves and others hurts more than the truth.

George Sherston, the main character of Sherston’s Progress, is a curious mentality for the reader to decipher. As a victim of Shell Shock, (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) he is persistently grappling with understanding his own mind and this becomes the task of the reader as well. Due to this omnipresent task, one becomes a psychoanalyst of George. The only difference between Rivers and the reader is that Rivers actually interacts with George while the reader can only sit back and watch. I will be investigating the first section of the book to better understand the character Rivers.

In the film Office space Peter Gibbons hates his job. Peter is not alone his best friend’s feel the same way. They hate the commute too and their boss. Initech hires consultants to down size the company. While at work Peter makes a tiny mistake and every boss comes by his cubical to tell him about his mistake and talk down about his minor mistake. Peter is invited by his cheating girlfriend to a hypnotherapist. During Peter’s session Peter tries to explain his day” So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life” (Judge). This a small glimpse into how Peter is feeling. The therapist dies leaving Peter in a hypnotic trance. Peter abandons his responsibility to his job by not showing up for work all weekend. Peter and his co-workers appear to lack motivation on the job. Peters boss Bill Lumberg is a prime example of how by not providing his employees with the proper motivational skills needed for the job. In reality motivation is one key element in the world of work to a successful business.

Jon Foreman’s haunting melodies are sung throughout the world as the lead singer and songwriter of Switchfoot, but the San Diego native knows how to do more than just deliver an exceptional rock tune. Sunlight is the first EP in his series of four to be released this year, under the title The Wonderlands. Detailing the transition between 24 hours in a day, the first in the series painting the colors of the dawn breaking, birds chirping, and drops of dew on the grass.

The thing about Peter was that de defied the system, he was truthful and intelligent, and that was why Beane hired him. His personality could be defined as very conscious, not so agreeable but too introvert to say it, very confident and stable and open to experience according to the big five traits (Robbins & Judge, 2014). His lack of leadership is due to his introverted character, but he is more helpful, cooperative and affectionate than Beane would ever be. He is motivated just like Billy by his engagement to the work and his desire to accomplish a specific goal. His weaknesses are being too shy and usually that makes others not take him into consideration but his strengths are that he is very smart and know well what he is

Social needs acquired by such employees include love, acceptance and belonging. They must feel accepted and a sense of worthiness before they can work up to fulfilling other, more difficult needs. The esteem level on Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is the need for appreciation and respect. After the other levels of needs have been fulfilled, the esteem needs begin to play a prominent role in motivating behaviour. Theory Y employees will be motivated to gain respect in their organisation by achieving company objectives and by showing management their skills and abilities. The top need desired by such employees is self-actualisation. Maslow himself said;

Lapiere's (1934) study shows a weak link at best between attitudes and behaviour. This would suggest that people who are satisfied with their work are not necessarily more productive than those workers who are unsatisfied with their work. A reason for this may be an employee’s limited ability. No matter how much an employee enjoys his job and wants to work hard, he may be limited to how much he can improve his performance as his ability restricts him. If this is the case, then this employee’s performance will not

helpful individual, and others viewed his work as being inconsistence and spotty at times. Rios is required to submit a formal performance evaluation on all of her workers, and Barlow’s performance appraisal was the most challenging yet she had to face. Lack of Motivation Barlow’s behavior at the TA can be simply defined as lack of motivation, and this can be further explained in depth by the use of expectancy theory. The expectancy model states, “People are motivated to work when they expect to achieve things they want from their jobs. A basic premise of the expectancy model is that employees are rational people. They think about what they have to do to be rewarded and how much the rewards mean to them before they perform their jobs.”
