1) Discuss how managers can effectively motivate employees, individually and in teams, to meet goals.
Employee motivation is an essential step that every manager must perform in order to create a favorable working environment that meets the demands of the employees. Organizations must inspire their personnel if they want a productive workforce. Motivating employees will increase their performance leading the organization to increase their productivity.
2) Provide practical examples from research and explain how and why they would be motivational.
Companies should motivate their employees because, a company’s success depends on its ability to motivate its employees. It’s the degree of dedication, zeal, and vigor that employees of a firm bring to their jobs every day. Without it, business experience reduced productivity, lower levels of production and it’s likely that the company will fall short of reaching important goals too.
Every time someone hears “motivate employees” what comes to their minds is money but, there are multiple ways managers can motive them without money. For example: Make sure everyone is in the right position, give them the necessary tools to fulfill their duties, tell them what you expect of them, treat them with respect, give them autonomy, offer them growth opportunities. Not everything is work!
3) Include factors that you feel are relevant, for example, perhaps the abilities and personalities of co-workers, and, using outside sources, justify your rationale for why they matter.
From my point of view, one of the most important factors that manager can perform in order to motivate employees is by knowing their interests and, according to this, give them a right position, feedback and give them a treatment in which they feel appreciated

Hi classmates
Some of the main factors that facilitate motivation in employees are rewards and reward systems. Reward systems work regardless of age and are implemented throughout many hierarchical organizations, especially in schools and places of employment. Certain incentives, such as bonuses, travel opportunities, personal time off, and other benefits are used to motivate employees to increase their performance; this is the utilization of extrinsic rewards (Kinicki & Williams, 2020). Extrinsic rewards can push an employee to create their own intrinsic rewards to meet a goal, whether it be a goal for a team or a personal goal.
Employees seem to perform better when motivated by intrinsic values. Intrinsic rewards are more psychologically rooted since completing a self-given goal produces a more significant dopamine response than extrinsic rewards would produce. Intrinsic motivation is a major part of Maslows Hierarchy of Needs, the set of stepping blocks meant to guide a person to self-actualization by meeting their essential needs. Intrinsic motivation is best fostered by allowing employees to be autonomous and self-directed feeling overwhelmed and pressured (O2 Employment Services, 2020).
Another major influence on employee motivation is the work environment. Like in any environment, without being given the proper tools and being placed in a facilitating, thriving environment, employees will lose motivation and it will be hard for them to create intrinsic rewards to stay motivated. A cooperative workspace with coworkers and superiors who make work easier help to keep motivation and morale in the workplace up.
