1) Review the motivation theories discussed in this chapter. How would each one describe and explain the problems with Simon Lucas’s motivation?
The theories that would be relevant to the problems with Simon Lucas’ motivation would be the McClelland’s Need Theory and Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory. For McClelland’s Need Theory, it is divided into three segments which is the need for achievement, the need for power, and the need for affiliation.

All these three concepts explained why Simon is not motivated. For instance, the lack of job enlargement. Simon’s task was easy and boring, which he did not seem to do well because of repetitions. His job scope was too tight or too little which resulted in boredom. In terms of job rotation, Simon wasn’t trained in different sections of a building inspector. This is because of his lack of qualifications. On the other hand of job enrichment, what made Simon not feeling motivated is because the fact that the job wasn’t the job that he really wanted in the first place and the job wasn’t really his passion.

In the case study, Fastsave is a retail chain store company that was doing quite well, and had more than enough financial resources to make investments. In other words, they are able and they have the capacity to take risks with no significant danger of losses. The real risk here was whether it would be worth it for them in terms of time and effort. The attitude to risk is also based on individuals who personalities vary. In the case study, individuals who are more reserve tend to be more cautious as they are realistic while the others who are more risky or outgoing tend to be more straightforward as they maintained an optimist
I returned Ms Dunlap call. She said wants to place a formal complaint against the CPS worker Miranda Larson because she illegally removed her children based on false accusations. She stated that Miranda, like the entire CW are doing criminal activities. She then asked me if I had talked to her attorney? What was my conversation about, What did I disclose to them?

She said that we should not be talking to her attorney because she just fired her.

Assistant Superintendent Denise Bartlett presented the first reading of proposed revisions that combine the policy and regulations into one document. She reported that with the guidance from legal counsel, the language in the policy is very explicit as to the requirements of administrators, as well as law enforcement when involved in student interviews and arrests. Dr. Bartlett reviewed the revised policy that has been reworked with headings and subheadings to assist administrators in determining which section of the policy may pertain to a specific incident and the revisions of the exhibits.
There has been a matter at my school that I would like to make you aware of. This matter has several components that may need further attention from our litigation department. Smart Sue has complained about possible drugs intended for distribution both in her classmate’s, Risky Ralph, locker and in his car. This is the culmination of issues between Smart Sue and an afterhours religious group that Risky Ralph leads. After some investigation and applying the ruling from Donovan v Punxsutawney, I have determined that the religious group has not violated the separation of church and state laws which Smart Sue alleges they did. Their club is held after school and any religious materials they hand out occurs during lunch, which is a
This case is about Paul Reed, a vice president and supervisor at Magic Eye, who is trying to understand the reason his programmers in his firm, are not reaching their potential. For that matter, Paul sought Muriel Tremblay, who is responsible for the personal to discover the issue. Muriel then interviewed an employee named Jeannie Savaria who has worked for the company for over a year and discovered that there had been some lack of motivation from Paul. According to Robbins, S. P. & Judge, (184). Motivation is the process that accounts for an individual’s intensity, direction, and persistence of effort towards attaining a goal. In this paper, I will use the Vroom Expectancy Motivation Theory to explain Jeannine Savaria’s motivation and what can her supervisor do to improve her motivation.
Motivation is a key part in achieving success. People who wish to be successful have something to motivate them to reach their goals. These motivators are always present in life. A motivating factor is something that enables one to keep reaching for their success. The motivating factors taming chaos, social interaction and finding meaning can be traced throughout literature in order to display the reasoning behind a character’s actions.

It is essential to note that not all employees are motivated by the same set of needs. Different individuals may be driven by different needs at same point of time. And it is as always the most powerful unsatisfied need that motivates an individual. Additionally, the theory is not applicable in case of starving artist or a monk as even if the artist’s or the monks basic needs are not satisfied, he will still strive for recognition and
A theory that supports motivation is the self determination theory. In the self determination theory people need to grow and gain fulfillment by a drive in them. Self Determination is the process of deciding how to act on ones environment. When one is trying to overcome a challenge or encountering a new experience a person wants to gain the knowledge to succeed over the new challenge. When self determination theory is in focus internal factors are at play; a person is primarily focused on the need to gain knowledge or independence. There are three factors that contribute to a student’s self determination and the needs are linked to the student’s
Maslow’s hierarchy of needs suggests that one of the needs for survival is belongingness and when this is not fulfilled, the individual will be motivated to satisfy this need before being motivated and progressing onto others (Maslow, 1943). This can explain Susan’s lack of motivation, as she is currently focussed on satisfying her belongingness need. However, this theory does not touch upon how fulfilling this can improve motivation at work; As once the belongingness need is accomplished, then the individual will strive to fulfil the next level and still not be motivated for strong work behaviours (Pardee, 1990).
