Problem:
In an internet retailer, you will find a wide range of job functions. Leaders frequently need to adjust their own expectations to meet the reality of the situation. There are times when you might want an outcome much sooner than those whose job it is to perform the work. Research motivational theories and picking two theories address the following:
Q1. Describe each theory and discuss the strengths and weakness of each theory.
Q2. How would you apply each theory to working with a highly creative and complex technology workforce such as those designing websites?
Q3. Would you adjust your approach to motivation for those employees who are responsible for marketing the merchandise? If so, how and if not, why not?
Q4. Discuss a few motivational tools and techniques that would apply to all employees in any organization.
Q5. Discuss your personal experience with motivational tools - either as a supervisor or as an employee.
