This week’s discussion post will involve analyzing your own level of motivation in a current or past work situation.
- Describe the situation.
- Present the key components and assumptions of Expectancy Theory and at least two other relevant theories (drawn from Chapter 7 and the Porter et al article).
- Apply these theories to the motivational system that is/was in place during the situation you identified. How did you observe each of these theories in practice (effectively or ineffectively)? How did it impact your level of motivation? Is this consistent with what the theories would predict?
