Motivation is the psychological process that arouses and directs behavior. There are three theories that will help us understand the motivation of employees in the workplace:

• Goal-setting theory suggests behavior can be motivated with specific, challenging goals that are obtainable. The key to goal-setting theory is ensuring employees understand what is expected and accept the goals.
• Self-efficacy is the belief in one’s personal ability to do a task. There is a lot to be said to scoring high in this trait. People who are confident about their ability tend to succeed, whereas those who doubt their ability tend to fail.
• Reinforcement theory explains how behavior can be altered by administering positive or negative consequences to actions of employees. Behavior with positive consequences tends to be repeated, and behavior with negative consequences tends not to be repeated.

Step 2 – Post a Response

Respond to the following.

• Take a moment to think about what it would take to motivate you to achieve your goals at work, which theory would you use and why?
• In reflecting on either an experience at work or with a family or friend, how can you motive them to achieve the goals in their lives? Which motivational theory would you use and why?

 To attract, motivate, and retain good workers, companies need to define what an employee wants from the employment relationship. One way to define employee needs is to consider “total rewards,” which are everything an employee perceives to be of value resulting from working for the company. Benefits are a core element of total rewards and the ever-growing package of offerings have evolved. You must now work with the company to define precisely where the various programs will be categorized. 

Write a six-page paper in which you: 

• Identify and discuss at least three (3) important variables that almost always should be considered by organizations when providing employee benefits programs. Be sure the response is specific and relevant.  
• Compare and contrast income protection programs and pay for time not worked programs, both of which are usual elements of benefits programs. How are the programs similar? Are they mandatory? 
• Research and discuss at least four to five (4-5) of what may be referred as “Other Benefits” that you could recommend to the management team as necessary elements for the benefits package. HINT: Flextime and product/service discounts are good examples. 
• Develop an employee benefits package for any exempt or non-exempt position level of your choosing, making sure you support the selection of your program elements. NOTE: The preferred method for presenting your benefits package information is using a table or exhibit, but either approach is not mandatory.

Organizational change is an important aspect within the management because it enables the managers to run daily operations in a manner that fits the current competitive environments. As such, the most affected organizational division is the human resource department. The working environment today is faced with a lot of dynamics rising to form the demands of the administration and the human resource. Thus, the management should be more strategic in meeting the demand of employees rather than being administrative and operational, so that there can be a balance in both cases. Human needs rapidly change within and without the workplace due to environmental, technological, and organizational changes (Kapoor n.d). Thus, the human resource management division should be in the front line to assist the members in adjusting to the changes in meeting the objectives of the organization. The presumption that the basic knowledge from education or experience is enough for task performance many not apply throughout. For instance, employees need to be trained so that they can adjust to new technologies and production techniques. Thus, prior knowledge may not apply in such new working environments. Hence, the only way the HRM department can help in dealing with such dynamic and emerging matters is by approaching the situation strategically, rather than operational and administrative. On a different note, this would help in advancing the competitiveness of the organization within the industry. Further, it helps as a motivating factor because of the changes in working environments.

Your company has had embedded HR generalists in business units for  the past several years. Over that time, it has become more costly and  more difficult to maintain standards, and is a frustration for business  units to have that budget “hit.” The leadership has decided to move to a  more centralized model of delivering HR services and has asked you to  evaluate that proposition and begin establishing a project team to  initiate the needed changes. The project team is selected, and you must  now provide general direction.

Instructions

1. Review and define the five steps of strategic planning  depicted in Exhibit 2-1 in the textbook on page 34. Based on the  information, provide a statement of overall importance of these steps to  your project team.
2. Develop a vision and mission statement for the project team  specific to the current project. Hint: It is highly recommended to  follow the guidance offered in the textbook about vision and mission  statements.
3. Explain to the project team what a project charter is and why  it is used. Then, review Exhibit 3.3 in the textbook and select any  three charter elements you feel are more important and explain why.
4. Provide a statement of emphasis to your project team based on  the information you provided in the previous three sections above. The  goal is to ensure your team understands the importance of the  information.
