...Technology and Motivation: are we able to measure its interaction? Tecnología y Motivación: ¿somos capaces de medir su interacción? Vicente Antonio López Rodríguez & Antonio Hidalgo Nuchera Departamento de Ingeniería de Organización, Administración de Empresas y Estadística Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros Industriales Universidad Politécnica de Madrid vlopezr@etsii.upm.es; ahidalgo@etsii.upm.es Abstract Taking into consideration that work motivation can be enhanced not only by increasing the levels of responsibility, meaningfulness and feedback that are built into job (intrinsic motivation), but also by improving the workers relationships, the working conditions, and the incentives (extrinsic motivation), four groups of concrete motivators have been introduced in our motivational model. For these groups of concrete motivators, a number of core dimensions have been derived, measured and evaluated given us the opportunity to establish the relationship, in terms of indicators, between the installed technology and the motivation it inspires. There have been carried out two applications of the proposed model: one in the conditions of a university in Cuba and the other in several Mexican institutions. The results obtained show the validity of the model for determining the motivational quality of working environments. Resumen Tomando en consideración que la motivación en el trabajo puede mejorarse no solamente por el incremento de los niveles de responsabilidad...

...satisfaction level will be particularly measured regarding organizations commitment and employees evaluations. 1. OVERVIEW OF THE STUDY Job satisfaction is workers’ sense of achievement and success on the job. It also could be defined as the extend of how workers contented with the rewards, particularly for their intrinsic motivation ( Statt; 2004). Job satisfaction importantly to express favorable attitudes and feeling toward jobs, it could be negative and unfavorable attitudes or positive and favorable attitudes. Hence, complicated to measure satisfaction because different people have different meaning of it, especially related with organizations commitment. Every organizations should conduct job satisfaction survey because it may serve as indicators of organizational performance. Through job satisfaction evaluation different levels of satisfaction in different organizational units can be defined, but in turn can serve as a good indication regarding in which organizational unit changes that would boost performance should be made(Aziri;2011). The survey is specifically conducted at MSET Engineering, intentionally to increase the service quality and organizational performance besides of sustaining employees’ loyalty. The survey will postulate that job satisfaction depends on the balance between work-role inputs such as education, working time, effort and work-role outputs wages, fringe...

...university levels and estimates the change in perception of students about contribution of family, teachers, and self- efforts in academic achievements. Primary data was collected through a structured questionnaire from final year students of engineering departments of universities of Lahore. The statistics are computed by comparing grades and perceptions of contributing factors of sampled students. The study finds significant difference between university and school levels regarding performance of students. Drastic change in the perception of students about the share of family, teachers, and self- efforts in performance is also observed. Introduction There are two main objectives of this report; first, to estimate the change in the performance of students at two distinct levels; school and university, second, to assess the change in the perception of students about role of contributing factors in their academic achievements. Before the initiation of the survey, a focus group of students of engineering departments of different universities was conducted to assess the most significant factors. In focus group, students identified following factors, which had a significant effect on their academic achievements: 1-Family support (moral and economic) 2-Teachers (teacher’s skill, qualification, guidance etc.) 3-Students’ self profile (self-efficacy, commitment level, self-discipline, life objectives etc Literature provides a number of reports, which have successfully developed...

...Name Institution Instructor Date The first thing to understand in the project is that there was a shortage of man power at the site. Reduction in productivity can be caused by very many factors including lack of motivation or lack of necessary equipments to work with (Maslow, Abraham H,1954). The case of the first foreman who said that he wished they are had abundant man power he could have flushed out the loafers, thus statement by itself is not relevant in this case. For the foreman to comment, he could have first gone to the field and do a deep research for the reasons behind poor productivity of the project. In most cases flushing out of the man power is not always a source of motivation but may sometimes act like one. On the other hand, retrenchment sometimes increase productivity since each and every worker always tries his or her best to improve on his or her productivity in order to prevent him or her from being fired( Bindra, Dalbir, and Jane Stewart, 2001). Therefore the statement by the first foreman can act as a motivation even if it is not the best. The second statement about the goldbricks is not at all a motivation in any way. There is no work that can become successful or productive without the cooperation of each and every party involved in a particular project (Maslow, Abraham H., and Robert Frager, 1987). The foreman says that he could trust some people in the project that is the crew foreman and the journey men but he disrespected the boomers. If...

...BUSINESS ASSIGNMENT on Motivation Introduction The word motivation came from Latin word “movere” which means push to action, (Source). Motivation is giving people the desire and energy to make an effort to reach their goal such as a job. There are a numbers of motivational theories and this assignment will look at how intrinsic and extrinsic motivators can affect employee’s motivation. Business will motivate their staff to achieve objectives in order for the company to reach their aims. However workers are motivated by different things, therefore this assignment will start with explaining and discussing motivational basic psychological triggers and the main initial theorists: F.W. Taylor (1856-1917), Elton Mayo (1880-1949), Maslow (1908-1970), Herzberg (1923-2000). Motivation We learn not only because we want to learn for satisfaction of learning but also because we are rewarded for learning and it enables us to achieve other things that we want, starting with food, a home and to some extent safety as well as status and self-esteem. Psychologists have come to separate between two main categories of motivation, intrinsic and extrinsic: Intrinsic motivation takes place when someone gets satisfaction from an activity itself without threats or rewards from external factors or influences. Intrinsic motivation is only due to the person’s desire or will to participate in a task without any promise of a reward. A good example will be “A student's intrinsic interest in schooling...

Recognition of difference between the perceptual world and the real world is vital to the study of Behaviour at Work. Specific Applications of Perceptions in Organization: * In an interview-selection of the candidate, * Hiring of new employees to the Organization * To note down the realistic job expectations. * Performance Appraisal of the employee * Assessing the employee loyal to the Organization made by the Managers * Creating Favourable impressions about the Organization, employee as well as employer. Self-Fulfilling Prophecy In order to maintain the self filling prophecy managers need to follow the following golden rules: 1. Recognize that every one has the potential to increase his/ her performance. 2. Instill confidence on oneself. 3. Set high performance goals. 4. Positively reinforce employees for a job well done. 5.

...organization, and whole social system. Its purpose is to build better relationships by achieving human objectives, organizational objectives, and social objectives. In this paper we propose to study leadership, motivation and organizational conflict, as among the most pressing issues in organizational behavior. Further, we shall discuss how these issues can be addressed. Critical role of motivation It is critical for managers to understand why and how employees are motivated if they are to make full use of a worker’s capacity to learn and perform. For a manager, motivating employees to learn and perform at their best is a complex and difficult challenge. No two individuals, that is, no two employees including the two who are doing the same job are alike. At any time two different individuals will have two distinct needs and desires. Moreover, what motivates an employee to perform well today may not motivate him the next year, or next week, or even next hour. However, a motivated set of employees represent tremendous promise. When employees are motivated performance, learning, and satisfaction can improve dramatically from which everyone including the organization benefits (Stroh et al, p.62). Douglas McGregor in 1960 saw the merit in the relationship between motivation and behavior. According to him, managers motivate employees by one of the two basic approaches, which he termed Theory X and Theory Y. Theory X is...
