For this assignment, you will need to read and analyze the Case Study from the textbook (Denhardt, Denhardt, & Aristigueta, 2013, pp. 347-348), "The Case of Guard Uniforms." Then, respond to the four questions at the end of the Case Study.
Summarize the answers for the Case Study in essay format with a minimum of 500 words. Format your response using APA style. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations.
Question 1
Refer to content in Chapter 7, as well as research from your own external sources, and write a summary of the theories of motivation from the perspective of which theory is best for motivating employees in a public organization (your choice). This measurement should demonstrate your ability to illustrate a realistic link between leadership theories and motivational approaches. Please do not simply cite what is in the textbook, but go beyond the textbook content and do an expanded research into content that justifies and highlights the elements discussed.
There should be three major categories within this essay:
Introduction (brief description of the organization)
Summary of the chapters leadership theories and motivational approaches
The application through rationale that defends the link between leadership and motivation within your particular organization
Your response should be at least 800 words in length. You are required to use at least your textbook as source material for your response. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations.
