Intrinsic and extrinsic motivation factors and job satisfaction

Intrinsic and extrinsic motivation factors and job satisfaction

After working through the Theoretical Foundations Powerpoint, select only one of the theories and discuss its usefulness in the context of managing organizations. Use online peer-reviewed journal research (case study research is best) to inform your writing and to advance the theoretical discussion beyond what you encountered in the PowerPoint. You may select a theory you will eventually use elsewhere in the course.

Identify the consequences of having dissatisfied employees and describe ways of applying the four theories of job satisfaction and how you would use them to boost job satisfaction. Discuss how intrinsic and extrinsic motivation factors affect job satisfaction.

When answering, consider how goals may help with job satisfaction and how to design jobs to enhance motivation.
