INTRODUCTION
Adapted from the course module notes, there are two categories of theories and techniques in job design to motivate employees:
1. Content theories by Maslow, McClelland, Herzberg and Alderfer.
2. Process theories such as Job Rotation, Job Enlargement and Enrichment; Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory, The Hackman and Oldham Model and Empowerment.
Part 1 of this assignment is to theoretically analyse and review of five selected journals and articles that relevant to Job Design and Motivational Techniques under the category of Process Theories.
Part 2 of the assignment is to practically explore, analyse and review the employee’s management practice and processes of a selected organisation in the local market, relating to the theories

The study first addressed and cited that the job rotation theories and its empirical implications. From the employee learning perspective, both inter-functional and intra-functional job rotation are effective ways to develop employee’s abilities and efficiency, then further enhance them to be promoted to higher levels. Further implied is job rotation provides the employer learning of the employee’s abilities during the process and the outcomes can be used to assist and improve promotion decisions. The employee motivation aspect in job rotation makes work more interesting and reduce boredom; but creates limited helps in promotion …show more content…
Tan & Waheed (2011) stated that the survey was done by way of convenient sampling to select sales personnel from women’s clothing stores at Bandar Sunway shopping mall located at Selangor, Malaysia. One hundred and eighty selected sales personnel of heterogeneity were surveyed by a questionnaire written in English. The questionnaire included a series of statements and questions pertaining to determinants of job satisfaction. The survey candidates were requested to indicate their degree of agreement to each. According to the researchers, linear regression analysis was performed to test the relationship between Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory and job satisfaction and further analysis was done evaluating the relationship between money and job satisfaction.
The results obtained are found to be contradicting with Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory. The study revealed that the strongest motivation factor with the highest significance level on job satisfaction is the working conditions, which is a hygiene factor. The subsequent factors that motivate the sales personnel reported are recognition, company policies and money. Out of these four factors mentioned, recognition is the only motivator as explained in the Herzberg’s Two-Factor
That includes consultations, participation, information dissemination, and training. Therefore, one of the most suitable options is to choose the concept of management through motivation. This model relies on the study of the needs, interests, moods, personal goals of employees, as well as the possibility of integrating motivation with the production requirements and objectives of the enterprise. It is important in this approach to hiring the leaders
Nelson was determined to define occupation clearly so that progression could be made in the field of occupational therapy (Nelson, 1988: 633). In the following essay I will outline the model that Nelson designed to clearly illustrate occupation. I will then describe an occupation that I take part in and apply Nelson’s ideas to my occupation to prove that it is an occupation. Nelson describes occupation as “the relationship between two things: occupational form and occupational performance” (Nelson, 1988: 633). Occupational form is the external environment or situation in which the occupation is performed in.
The place I decided to carry out my job shadowing experience is at Select Physical Therapy. During my time there, I decided to shadow an Occupational therapist who specialized in hand therapy. I wanted to shadow an Occupational Therapist because at the time, I was interested in becoming an Occupational Therapist and I wanted to see if this is really the career path I wanted to take. At first when I started my job shadowing experience, I was a little nervous since I was not quite sure what I was supposed to be doing since I have not shadowed a place before.

This is linked to lead the long term benefits for the company because development and innovation must be done in every moment. It also can rise the employees motivation and gradually eliminate the poor-performed employees to focus on the potentials (Zhao, 2005; Xin and Pucik, 2006). Moreover, by doing promotion based on performance, every employee could develop their personal potential and if the potential has developed, they can realize their own value. For the more details, this implied the ‘race-track’ model for the employees’ career development.
1.2 BACKGROUND OF THE RESEARCH Workplace are potentially become a rich source of learning as well as educational institutions and workplace is a rich environment for learning (Collin 2002; Beckett & Hager 2002; Boud & Middleton, 2003; Ryan, 2008). Moreover, informal learning now are take priority over of formal learning as the main way to keep up-to-date with the current and future work roles (Conner,2005; Ellinger & Grip, 2007; Livingstone and StCseh, 2007; Borghans, Golsteyn, & de owe,2007;Lohman, 2009). Eraut (1994) views on learning in the workplace is an efficiency way compared as formal training especially when employee learning specific job-related skill and obtaining knowledge. Enos, Thamm Kehrhahn & Bell (2003) concluded that most
Once they success doing it , it motivated them to try something that more bigger and more challenging because it give a high value of self-satisfaction and self-potential that they can be whatever they wanted to be and do. Moreover, by doing that, they would generate their own confident level and they can determine their ability and their own performance potentials (Hartzell, Study.com, 2015).To conclude, the theories of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs can motivate the employee in the company from the beginner employee to reach the top and upper level in the company because he or she have meet and achieve and motivated by all the needs of theories of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. Other motivational theories that can motivate the company employee is Hertzberg’s Two-Factor Theory. This type of motivational theories is used to identify the positive which refer as attraction and satisfaction and the negative which refers as dissatisfaction of the feeling of their work and conditions (Contractzilla, 2014).
Although motivating employees can be a challenge, a number of theories about motivation at work can be used as a basis for creating practices, procedures and processes to affect employee
In this Jeannine Savaria case, we can observe a company that is focusing on computerized special effects. The vice president of Magic Eye, Paul Reed hired new employees who are young and have expertise in similar backgrounds as him; nevertheless, Magic Eye, Inc contains essentially computer programmers, who, if they don’t work with their skills and motivation precisely, the company’s performance will never improve. However, Reed still wasn’t satisfied with his new colleagues, so he finally made a decision to hire a new employee, Jeannie Savaria. Even though she had recently graduated from her collage, she was still a programmer, which can show exceptional techniques and abilities by holding adequate knowledge in order to conceptualizing her
How are the principles of goal setting applied in this case? In 1990, Locke and Dr. Gary Latham published “A Theory of Goal Setting and Task Performance” in which they identified five principles that were important in setting goals that will motivate others. These principles are: clarity, challenge, commitment, feedback, and task complexity. In HIS Departments, work changes over time.
CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Background of the study Job satisfaction has been said to lead to qualitative and quantitative improvement in job performance (Ganguly, 2010). Therefore, it is important for organization to find factor that can lead to job satisfaction. In addition, according to Hasan Ali Al-Zu’bi, (2010), one of the key variables that impact the performance of organization is the employee’s job performance and satisfaction. Job satisfaction can be defined as the feelings of employees whether they like or dislike the different aspect of their job experiences in connection to previous experiences (Mohammad, Mumtazah, Jariah & Aminah, 2013). Meanwhile, Ganguly (2010) stated that job satisfaction involves a collection of numerous attitudes and feelings that refer to psychological disposition of people towards their jobs and how they feel about their work and also influence motivation and interest in work.
Now-a-days employee or worker are increasingly interested involves in jobs with flexible work schedule. A flexible work schedule may be implemented for a various of reasons to benefits the employee, the employee units, or both. There are many benefit that may be implemented through flexible work schedule example include can adjusting for a long commute to and from work by starting or ending the work day earlier or call later, avoiding peak traffic to reduce an employee time on the road, matching work schedule to time schedule for mass transit or other commuting alternatives, reducing the number of work days and therefore the number of commutes to and from work each day, can get also matching employee work hours to peak productivity time periods,
The main objective of the paper is to evaluate the theories of motivation that is relevant to my workplace. Moreover, the paper will also assess the principal factors that may affect the performance and motivation at my workplace. Currently I’m working in a nursing home called as “The British Home.” Hence, the paper will be on the performance and motivation at the British Home.
Introduction Along the course we have had the opportunity to evaluate many business problems under the perspective of the managerial practice. A problem in particular attracted my attention so much that I decided to use it as a main topic for this work. This problem is indeed that of the externalities in the Capitalist society. My aim is to discuss this issue using the material discussed in class and emphasizing on the consequences of the daily consumer choice.
