This paper is third WI designated assignment and builds on the previous paper. Based on the feedback from the OB Project – Part 1 you will now produce
another essay, that is a 2-3 page written report (excluding title page, references and any figures, tables or appendices). Each paper will include an APA
formatted title page and a separate References page. Do not include an abstract, table of contents, or appendixes. The primary topics included in this paper
are as follows: Providing a brief overview of the problem (3-4 sentences), the following:
Theoretical Lens – The topic: Content Theories of Motivation, apply that topic to the your chosen organization and the problem developed in OB Project- Part
1. Describe very specifically how the concepts, principles, and findings represented in the topic matter to the problem, and how they can be leveraged to articulate a solution. [about 1 page]
Recommendation – Provide a list (at least three) of very specific recommendations/action steps that flow out of the discussion of the topic and that can
help solve the problem. In thinking about how to craft the topic into those recommendations, strike a balance between being practical and being bold. Every
organization has key constraints (culture, organizational stakeholders, and competitive environment) that need to be taken into account when designing
interventions. Although those should be considered, resist the urge to “play it safe”, as that tendency often leads to modest interventions that are ultimately
ineffective. [about 1 page]
