In Chapter 11, your text introduced you to the concept of Total Rewards from World at Work – the components that can be used to reward employees. Visit the following website to view the World at Work Total Rewards Model brochure: https://www.worldatwork.org/media/pdf/2020_BRO_TRModel_J16197_FNL.pdf
In Chapter 14, we learned a variety of theories/models relating to motivating employees to perform. One of these is Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.
1. What does Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs say about what motivates employees?
2. How does Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs explain how one reward (such as a pay raise) might motivate one employee, while a different reward (such as the opportunity to lead a committee), might motivate a different employee?
3. After reviewing the concept of Total Rewards and considering Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, compare options available to managers related to improving employee performance.
