Module 2 – SLP-WORKPLACE MOTIVATION

MGT302 Organization Behavior and Teamwork 

In this SLP assignment, the focus is motivation. During this module, your journal entries should focus on how the management where you works motivates workers. You could, for example, notice management applying Theory X or Theory Y in their motivation strategies. Or, you might consider whether management focuses on Maslow’s lower order or higher order needs. See if there are instances of effective and ineffective motivation for which you can make a brief journal entry.

As in the Module 1 SLP assignment, each of your journal entries should be a paragraph or so in length, and you should make 4 or 5 journal entries over the course of the module.

Before you submit your journal entries, review what you have written and add in-text citations from the background material as appropriate. Also include a reference page at the end of your paper that gives the references that correspond to the in-text citations that you have used. For completeness, don’t forget to add a title page.

Upload your assignment to the SLP 2 Dropbox. Be sure to review your TurnItIn Originality report. If the score is over 20%, you may not be writing in your own words and you will need to contact your professor and arrange to revise and resubmit your assignment.
