Discussion 3 - Motivation Compare 3 motivational theories. Please read this week's lectures before beginning this discussion; it discusses some of the motivational theories out there. I am looking for theories - not specific motivational activities like "celebrating birthdays" or "work retreats." Identify the theory and tell me why you feel the theories are applicable to today's work world; why are they motivational? Expound a bit on the "why" - who are they motivating to (ie., what demographic, age group, industry, etc)? Next, briefly discuss the Hawthorne studies - do a bit of research and identify the key thing or observation that resulted from that study. Just a good-sized paragraph will be sufficient here. It's an interesting study - and very true! Use lectures, your text, and/or outside references.
