Description

One definition of motivation is, "the forces within a person that affect his or her direction, intensity, and persistence of voluntary behavior." Although that does not mention monetary rewards, managers and leaders often believe that the best way to motivate others is by throwing money at them. This is simply untrue and the focus of this research presentation will be how to motivate others when you are not able to use money as a reward, because money is not always able to play a role in motivating employees. There are better ways to motivate employees, and as leaders, we need to know these ways before entering the workplace. This presentation will focus on areas of motivation such as how does technology affect motivation, how management affects workplace motivation, and the role goals play in motivation.
