09 Nov Motivating employees

1. Research employee motivation and contemporary companies by choosing a company known to be a great place to work as the focus of your written assignment. If you are not certain which companies meet this criteria, you can start at one of these websites: or . Forbes Magazine and Indeed.com also gather data on employee satisfaction.
2. Once you have selected the company, summarize the key components or characteristics of your selected companys employee motivation strategy or practice.
3. Compare the strategy or practice used by the company to one of the theories presented in the module readings (i.e. Maslows hierarchy of needs, ERG, Herzbergs Two-Factor, Theory X and Theory Y Theory, Theory Z, Equity Theory, etc.). Be specific when you make this comparison, and be aware of the fact that you may see elements of more than one theory being put into practice.
4. After you have studied how your chosen company keeps its employees motivated and creates a great place to work, summarize which theory would most motivate you and why.
