Employees are uniquely individual. This uniqueness makes them valuable because in that individual approach to work, each employee brings personality, history, culture, values, creativity, innovation, and other personal characteristics to the team. It also makes managing and leading employees challenging.

• Explain the impact of an individual’s personality on work performance, morale, and motivation.
• Describe the impact of organizational variables that impact work performance, morale, and motivation.
• Discuss how employee empowerment and decision-making autonomy impact work performance, morale, and motivation.
