How To Write A Summary Of Chapter 1.2.0

Motivation 1.0 involved a primal need to just survive while Motivation 2.0 involves a reward and punishment system that we are all familiar with (p.17). Pink refers to it as “carrots and sticks”. The carrots and sticks motivational approach works for algorithmic tasks. These tasks involve following a set of established instructions that follow a specific sequence and lead to a goal. Cashiering is an example of an algorithmic task. This type of work involves doing the same thing over and over, following a certain process in order to help the next customer (p.27). Technology can easily replace some of these algorithmic jobs, a cashier, for example, can easily be replaced by the self-check out lanes at a grocery store. Contrary to algorithmic tasks, heuristic ones

Motivation is a main point in which I am interested and in order to understand more about the topic I have based my review in 2 different sources: Forbes article “Motivation Mystery: How to Keep Employees Productive” and Daniel Pink Ted Talk “The Puzzle of Motivation”.

1. Chapter 1, is about introducing the Tres Camarones, the state of Sinaloa, Mexico. Also, since the people in that town didn’t like change much there are already danger roaming around like the bandidos who will be evading the town.

Currently in my book "How We Decide" Lehrer still explains the concept of the Frontal Cortex. He goes and talks about how the frontal part of the brain affects the brain in lifesaving scenarios. Lehrer tells in the book that the more knowledge someone has on something the better. He calls forth upon a firefighter that goes on a helicopter and drops down onto the land that's on fire and puts it out. This veteran firefighter names Wage Dodge was caught in a mix up. The fire was getting worse and his young crew of kids and himself was trapped with no place to go. Dodge knew he wasn't going to make it so he used his skills. As the crew of young kids were running he had to think of a plan. Dodge made another fire and laid in the burnt grass. The original fire went around

Chapter 1- In this chapter I get an insight of the working environment in the eyes of Matthew Garcia an employee that experienced working at the factory. His named used in the text is not his real name, but made up in order to not reveal him. I can’t believe how some of these workers were in their cutting meat, while bleeding and having other accidents. Some of these people would cut their fingers off, it crazy thinking of how dangerous this job was to all these people during this time. Reading through the chapter its surprising finding out how fast paced the job was for little pay. The production increased tremendously from just processing 3 animals in one day to 4,000 in one day is mind blowing. I am shocked on how this system worked under the hands of George Hormel in the late eighteen hundreds. Many of these workers at QPP were getting ill doctors couldn’t find what they were diagnosed with until stating it was the speed of the lines. The increase in slaughtering was causing workers to catch diseases more frequent than before. These jobs were so

process of enlisting and training, the medical procedures and vaccinations he went through, traveling overseas and the excitement that brings, being injured in the war, and then finally the process of being discharged from the Army in February of 1919 at the end of the war and being reunited with “Marty”.

Thomas is held prisoner in WICKED headquarters, but is then eventually released by Janson, who tells the Gladers and Group B that there’s a cure for the Flare. The Gladers were forced to retrieve their memories and remove the tracking devices from their heads. “I’m afraid we don’t have much of a choice, the time for lies are over. Nothing’s going to work with you three still in the dark. I’m sorry. We need to do this, [...]” (Dashner 46). Thomas, Minho, and Newt were the only ones who chose not to undergo the procedure because they didn’t trust WICKED. Without the devices, the WICKED headquarters wouldn’t be able to track where the Gladers are. All three of them escaped before having their tracking devices removed, with the help of the Right Arm.

In chapter 1, M. Scott Peck is the author I found the most compelling in terms of his argument. I found Peck’s view the most compelling because thinking of reality like a map is something I never thought could make so much sense. Now thinking of reality as a map I can see I need to continuously revise how I value things in life based on new expectations, findings, and social values. For example, on the topic of gays and lesbians back in my Parents’ Day people thought that being gay or lesbian is a choice of life but with new scientific data, it could be something someone is born with. Therefore, there is a need to revise one’s map. In chapter 2, George E. Saint-Laurent is most in line with my current worldview because I also believe that religion

The special edition of Academy of Management Review in 2004 on future of motivation theories was a significant milestone in the field, which noticed stagnation in work motivation research since 1990s and helped

What Drives Us? “Are you the type of person that is motivated by money and fame, or are you someone that is motivated by having a larger purpose in life?” There are an infinite number of factors that may push a person to excel in life. For some it may be monetary values and for others emotional satisfaction.

Oliver’s reunion with Mr. Brownlow and his household is bittersweet at first, but it becomes better when Oliver tells his story.

Chapter 11-- William begins to construct out of random things he can find around his farm. William builds a temporary tower to see if his contraption will actually work. Geoffrey helps him lift the windmill onto the pole and releases the bent bicycle spoke then, like magic the blades begin to turn. But before the dream comes true fully it spins out of control and the chain snaps. After the first test was complete Geoffrey, Gilbert, and William start to rebuild. The boys cut down trees from the blue gum grove and began building a 16 foot tower. The next morning they return again to help William hoist the windmill with a pulley system made of clothesline to the top and secure it with bolts. People soon become curious when they see William at

Throughout Chapter 1 of Ways of Seeing, there are many different aspects that are discussed thoroughly. First off, the way we perceive things and the way things are perceive differently are mostly affected by what we know or what we believe in. For instance, the way we look at images and paintings can be something different from what a person next to me is seeing. The way we are known to perceive images and paintings are based off prior knowledge, even the lack of knowledge we dont have when it comes to a certain topic especially in images and art. The relationship between words and what we see is what recognition.

Motivation according to Kelley (2014) is the ‘process through which managers build the desire to be productive and effective in their employees’. If an employee is motivated, they are more likely to be productive and generally staff turnover is low. The problem of worker motivation is that workers are not seen as humans, they have a lack of freedom at the workplace and lack of job fulfilment. Taylor and McGregor Theory X argue that there is not a problem with worker motivation, workers will be obedient because of fear of losing their job motivates them to do well. Whereas Maslow and McGregor’s Theory Y argues that there is a problem with worker motivation because of class conflict between the worker and the manager. The

The pink theory did surprise me; I thought being rewarded would make a person work harder. That is not the case. It blocks creativity and narrows your focus. Also, how he descried motivation as attaching a candle to the wall so the wax doesn’t dip for a reward. It is true though now after reading this, you got to make the person want to do the job it needs to excite them. Right now at work we have a football game going on, if we make certain benchmarks and depends on how many we make we get a field goal or a touch down. It is going on for three months, it started a month ago. The list of the people who make field goals and touch downs is getting shorter and shorter each week. I think people are getting bored with it and are over it. I know
