Motivating individuals can often be one of the most difficult tasks of a manager/HR

    Motivating individuals can often be one of the most difficult tasks of a manager/HR. Everyone is unique and we are all motivated by different factors (i.e. money, autonomy, time-off, recognition). Within organizations, often resources can be constrained, which may hamper efforts to motivate individuals. Motivating employees comes from establishing an organizational structure, culture, and environment that provides opportunities to satisfy the employees intrinsic and extrinsic needs. There are several theories of motivation - in this paper, you need to pick a theory and fully explore how and why it would be appropriate to motivate employees. Feel free to write about a specific process, content, or attribution theory. Make sure that you identify the pros and cons of the specific theory. There are some theories of motivation that the organization may not be able to satisfy, so be able to substantiate your position with studies and peer-reviewed literature. If there are barriers to a specific theory, make sure that you identify these and using the literature, explore opportunities to reduce or mitigate these factors. For some theories, there may be multiple steps or processes, if you want to focus on a particular element for an in-depth exploration that is acceptable. Possible deliverables - you do not have to address these, but these are just ideas in case you are stuck. Why is motivation in healthcare organizations important? What are some of the issues that arise from demotivation? Explore your theory of motivation and state why it is the most effective or comprehensive approach as compared to other motivational strategies? What is the most common model of motivation and is it effect or not (base your position on the literature and not personal opinion).
