31 Aug Motivation and Performance in Personal and Professional Life
Write a 35 page paper about yourself and one of your goals. Because it is a paper specifically about you, it is best to write in first person (using pronouns I, me, my, and so on). In your paper, do the following:
- Explain your goal and current level of optimal challenge with the goal.
- Analyze both the intrinsic and extrinsic factors that are part of your motivation toward this goal.
- Analyze personality factors that play a role in your interest and motivation toward the goal.
- Use theories and concepts to explain how you might use these to promote your motivation and success in regards to the goal.
- Analyze how this information can continue to support your personal and professional behaviors in the future.
Use professional or scholarly sources of information to support your discussion of optimal challenge, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and personality factors. One of those sources might be the course textbook. Be sure to look closely at the scoring guide as you write your paper. Work toward the language for the Distinguished level scoring.
