...Group A5- Psycho Engineers a.)Topic of the project: Measuring whether perceived career stagnation in early career may have impact on factors such as employee motivation, job satisfaction and turnover intention. b.)Scope of the project: In this project we plan to analyse whether professionals in the early stages of the career (work-experience less than 5 years) feel early career stagnation and how it impacts factors like their job motivation, turnover intention, etc. The group also identified following parameters which were possibly affected due to career stagnation: a. Motivation b. Job satisfaction c. Turnover Intention Some mediator factors identified by us which can affect the relationship between career stagnation and identified parameters are: 1. Gender 2. Educational Background 3. Age In the common pyramid-shaped organisations majority of the individuals face a point where hierarchical advancements seem unlikely. In such a situation we say that the employee has hit a career plateau or that his career has stagnated. In some situations although the employee has hit a plateau he/she still continues to do his/her job efficiently with no decrease in output. However , for some employees the career plateau may adversely impact job satisfaction, motivation, willingness to stay in the organisation ,etc. It is the latter case also known as the “deadwoods” who need extra attention from the management and our study focuses on analysing the effects of career stagnation...

...Motivation Factors It has always been the focus of researchers “what motivates employees and how they can be motivated”. Acording to Maslow employees have five levels of needs, physiological, safety, social, ego and self-actualisation, each level of need had to be satsfied before the next level to become a motivating factor for the employees. Herzberg split the motivation into two factors i.e intrinsic factors like achievement, recognition contribute to job satisfaction and on the other hand extrinsic factors like pay, job security contribute to job dissatisfaction. Vroom stressed that employee efforts lead to performance which in turn leads them to rewards. Rewards if positive will motivate the employees and negative rewards will demotivate them. Skinner is of the opinion that the “Behavior” of employees which leads to positive outcomes will be repeated and the “Behavior” which leads to negative outcomes will not be repeated. Motivation and the factors on wihcih it depends have been described by present day authors in a new dimension. Higgins says It is the internal drive to satisfy an un satisfied need, where as kreitner defines it as the psychological process that gives behaviour purpose and direction. Survey Intro We have conducted this study for indepth analysis and evaluation of employee motivating / demotivating factors and the strength and weaknesses of Bank Alfalah’s employee related policies. It also helped us ascertain the current level of employee satisfaction of...

This survey was conducted in the Waikato region on different people from different organisations. In our research we found that most of our research was taken from a professional accountancy firm, restaurants and others such as customer service and assistance. We developed a questionnaire based on the organisational behaviour areas and literature reviews and conducted these surveys and have decided to have hypothesis about what we think that the outcome of these will be. These have been used as the focus of this report. The reason that we chose these candidates are they are different and diverse industries and we can compare the information given easily.

...Staff Motivation at Sharp HealthCare Mahzad Farahani California State University of East Bay Professor Jay Umeh 10/22/2014 Abstract The main goal of Sharp Healthcare is to increase employees, physicians, and patient satisfaction as well as providing quality care. They believe that in order for the facility to be successful, it has to have motivated staff who provide quality care. At Sharp Health Care, they believe in open communication among the staff, which can be argued to be a weak approach. It can also be argued that Sharp Healthcare can be rewarding their staff so that they can improve their performance further. Overall, Sharp approach to motivate its staff is a great innovation and it will be great if it is replicated in other health care organizations as well. KEY FACTORS IN SHARP’S SUCCESSFUL APPROACH TO MOTIVATION The key factors in Sharp’s successful approach to motivation involve the focus on purpose, worthwhile work, and making a difference; quality, service and people as some of its pillars of excellence; model behaviors and scripts; re-recruitment policy. We will discuss each factor and analyze their role in the overall approach to motivation. FOCUS ON PURPOSE, WORTHWHILE WORK AND MAKING A DIFFERENCE The focus on purpose, worthwhile work, and making a difference has led to increased employee, physician, and patient satisfaction, enhanced loyalty, and improved outcomes. This is evidenced by the fact that in 2007 Sharp HealthCare won the prestigious...

...Motivation, Performance, & Satisfaction Alisha Joseph LDR/531 October 31, 2011 David Grier Motivation, Performance, & Satisfaction Introduction Performance, motivation, and satisfaction on the job are factors that are determined by employees and their employers. The employees bring in personal beliefs, morals, education, experience, and values. The employers regulate the information supplied to employees and the employees bring values, education, experience, morals, and personal beliefs. Boosting subordinates’ motivation can enhance performance and satisfaction on the job. “Motivation refers to forces within an individual that account for the level, direction, and persistence of effort expended at work (Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia, 2007).” Developing Employees Developing employees in a manner that upholds and enhances performance, motivation, and satisfaction on the job is the responsibility of the organization.

...Manufacturing Employee motivation is an issue that does not discriminate (UoP, 2008). “Motivation is the willingness to exert effort in a particular way” (Dreher & Dougherty, 2001, p.28). Two theories can be reviewed when examining motivation. The first is expectancy theory. Expectancy theory holds that people are motivated to behave in ways that produce desired combinations of expected outcomes (Kreitner & Kinicki, 2004). Vroom’s expectancy theory is a mathematical model that looks at motivation. Employee motivation is influenced by expectation. If I get a raise at the end of the year for all my hard work I will work harder next year. If I work hard and don’t get a raise then my effort level will decrease. Porter & Lawler’s extension expectancy model identified people’s valences and expectancies and how effort connected to performance. “Valence refers to the positive or negative value people place on outcomes’ (Kreitner & Kinicki, 2004, p. 300). This theory showed that job satisfaction was directly linked with how employees perceived their reward. Employees will alter their mind-sets only if they see the point of the change and agree with it – at least enough to give it a try (Lawson & Price, 2003). The second theory is equity theory. “Equity theory is a model that explains how people strive for fairness and justice in social exchanges or give-and-take relationships” (Kreitner & Kinicki, 2004, p. 290). Adam’s equity theory of motivation looks at inputs and outcomes of employee-employer...

...Job Satisfaction Overview: Job Satisfaction is how content an Individual is with his or her Job. It is a positive feeling about a job resulting from an evaluation of its characteristics. Researchers have divided Job satisfaction into 2 sub Categories: Affective Job Satisfaction and Cognitive Job Satisfaction Affective Job Satisfaction: The extent of pleasurable feelings one has about his or her job. Cognitive Job Satisfaction: The extent to which Individuals are satisfied with different facets of the Job like pay, promotion opportunities, working hours, pension, The quality of relationships with co-workers etc. It is always not easy to measure Job Satisfaction as different people have different definitions and perceptions. An individual’s performance can be impacted if he or she is satisfied with the job or not but some studies have shown that some high performing employees are not satisfied with their job. If management is concerned about Job satisfaction of their Employees, Then it should conduct various surveys to find out the satisfaction level of their Employees and would consider seeking advise from their Employees on how to increase their overall level of Job Satisfaction. According to an Article published in Economic Times, 60 % of the people think that less job satisfaction is their primary reason of Unethical behavior at work second only to the lack of personal integrity. 91% said workers who enjoy a good work-life balance are more likely to behave ethically...
