Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2016/Employee motivation and money

Comments

Hi, your probably well on your way for your book chapter by now, but here is a link to an article http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S0361-3682(01)00031-9 to a study demonstrating the negative effects of performance incentive on intrinsic motivation in the workplace. Good luck. Regards, u3094046 --B Laurie (discuss • contribs) 06:09, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi, your topic looks really interesting and it sounds like there'll be a lot of information out there. I found an interesting article written by a faculty member at Columbia University, that discusses whether money really motivates us to work, and also compares extrinsic and intrinsic motivations. Here it is: https://hbr.org/2013/04/does-money-really-affect-motiv I also thought that it might be interesting to look at what types of employments are considered to be the most motivating and see whether there's any correlation between higher paid work, and greater motivation? You could also include a case study that would illustrate your findings, such as "Frank is a highly paid business man; he is part of a large company that pays him over $300,000 per year to travel between different cities and seek out new financial partners. However, Frank has lately started to feel depressed. He is finding it increasingly difficult to look forward to his business trips, and doesn't enjoy the anticipation of his paycheck every fortnight, anymore. What is wrong with Frank?". That's just an example of what I think you might find - higher money doesn't necessarily = greater motivation in the long term. Anyway, hope that gives you some ideas :) --U3083662 (discuss • contribs) 03:04, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Hey, I found another article for you to potentially use. It focuses on Herzberg's two factor theory in the Australian healthcare industry. http://zh9bf5sp6t.search.serialssolutions.com/?ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&ctx_enc=info%3Aofi%2Fenc%3AUTF-8&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fsummon.serialssolutions.com&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=article&rft.atitle=Motivating+medicine%3A+Why+money+is+not+enough&rft.jtitle=Journal+of+Paediatrics+and+Child+Health&rft.au=Dalton%2C+Sarah&rft.date=2010-04-01&rft.issn=1034-4810&rft.eissn=1440-1754&rft.volume=46&rft.issue=4&rft.spage=142&rft.epage=143&rft_id=info:doi/10.1111%2Fj.1440-1754.2009.01651.x&rft.externalDBID=n%2Fa&rft.externalDocID=10_1111_j_1440_1754_2009_01651_x&paramdict=en-US (DOI:10.1111/j.1440-1754.2009.01651.x)--CeeJay95 (discuss • contribs) 00:01, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

Hey, I have attached two articles that relate to Employee motivation and money. The first looks at the relationship with the Big five personality measurement and the second uses a two factor theory and incorporates self-regulatory processes, hopefully they are of assistance. Best of luck with the rest of your chapter :) https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Paul_Story/publication/274080888_The_Big_Five_and_Achievement_Motivation_Exploring_the_Relationship_between_Personality_and_a_Two-Factor_Model_of_Motivation/links/569d0c8d08ae27633ac97ebc.pdf http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0191886908004042--U3090066 (discuss • contribs) 17:57, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi, the TedTalk by Dan Pink on motivation may be worthwhile linking into your chapter https://www.ted.com/talks/dan_pink_on_motivation#t-4539--U109993 (discuss • contribs) 02:37, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

Heading casing

FYI, the convention on Wikiversity is for lower-cased headings. For example, use: ==Cats and dogs== rather than ==Cats and Dogs== -- Jtneill - Talk - c 12:05, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi there! you have some great starting topic for your chapter, it sounds really interesting!! I have some suggestions for your unfinished sections such as "The role of money in career choice" you could use some classic and present examples, such as Kim Kardashian, or even Donald trump! They are some big money moguls. Also just watch some of your spelling, and that it i'snt American spelling :) Goodluck!!!--U3100166 (discuss • contribs) 13:26, 23 October 2016 (UTC)

Chapter review and feedback

This chapter has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history to check for editing changes made whilst reviewing through the chapter. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Chapter marks will be available later via Moodle, along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

Overall Overall, this is a basic, but sufficient chapter. For more feedback see these copyedits and the comments below. Feel free to make ongoing changes to the chapter if you wish to address any of these comments or make other improvements. Theory Overview Reasonable. Focus questions are helpful. What theories will the chapter consider? Theory coverage was reasonably good, but lacked sufficient citation. Examples or case studies would be helpful. The Conclusion offers a succint summary and emphasises solutions. Research A lot of statements are unreferenced (e.g., see the tags) There is a lack of sufficiently detailed review and description of relevant research. When describing important research studies, provide some indication of the nature of the method. When discussing important research findings, indicate the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship. Written expression Reasonably well written expression Avoid directional referencing (e.g., above, below, as previously mentioned). The chapter somewhat addresses the topic and book theme but could be improved by offering practical take-home messages that relate to each of the focus questions in the Overview. Some clarification templates have been added to the page. Structure and headings Each section should start with at least one introductory paragraph before branching into sub-sections. Layout There is minimal use of images or tables. Integration with other chapters Limited integration with other chapters is evident. Learning features Add Interwiki links (to relevant Wikipedia articles) to make the text more interactive. Quiz questions could be used to encourage reader engagement. Spelling Use Australian spelling (some general examples are hypothesize -> hypothesise; behavior -> behaviour). Grammar and proofreading The grammar of some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the tags). APA style The reference list is not in full APA style.

Overall Overall, this is a simple, effective presentation. Structure and content Overview Too brief - consider spending some more time to make sure that the viewer really understands the question and how this presentation will answer the question. Selection and organisation Well selected content - perhaps a bit less theory and some more research/examples would help. Doesn't clearly address a self-help theme. Addresses a self-help theme - well, developed, simple, effective concluding message. Citations and references are included. Conclusion Take-home messages / key points are well summarised. Communication Audio Clearly narrated, with intonation. Audio is reasonably clear and well-paced. Visuals Visuals are clear and easy to read. Consider including more images, figures, and/or tables. Production quality One of the early slides was repeated. Overall, basic, effective production. Meta-data Well titled. Link to the book chapter provided. Fill out the description field (e.g., brief description of presentation, link back to the book chapter, license details, and possibly include references, image attributions, and/or transcript). Audio recording quality Keyboard clicks audible - consider using an external microphone to improve audio recording quality. Image/video recording quality Effective use of simple tools.
