Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2021/Employee self-care motivation

Social contributions

Hey! This is such a great topic, I feel it needs to be implemented even more now that we are in a pandemic too! I found an interesting YouTube video you could use as an external link: Mental Health in the Workplace | Promoting Wellness and Self Care - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8vPEs65QCY&ab_channel=Vyond, keen to read this when it's done! --Eilish Ritchie (discuss • contribs) 07:52, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi! I really like your topic. I wanted to suggest including a paragraph on self-care of employees during COVID shutdown/lockdown periods. I think this could be extremely useful to explore how employers are keeping up moral away from the workplace. I know my workplace has done this by sending out 'care packages' and organising virtual (zoom) drinks/catch-ups. I think that this is a great way to increase wellbeing and could be useful to mention as an alternating approach. I have provided a link to an NSW health article that has distributed over 2000 care packages during their state lockdown. https://www.slhd.nsw.gov.au/sydneyconnect/story-Special-COVID-19-CarePackages.html --U3204463 (discuss • contribs) 09:44, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

Heading casing

I have provided an example of how to format references, using your three references, in accordance with APA (please see second reference list).--U3167879 (discuss • contribs) 12:21, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

FYI, the recommended Wikiversity heading style uses sentence casing. For example: Self-determination theory rather than Self-Determination Theory Here's an example chapter with correct heading casing: Growth mindset development -- Jtneill - Talk - c 04:04, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

Note that marks are based on what was available before the due date, whereas the comments may also be based on all material available at time of providing this feedback.

Title The title is correctly worded The sub-title is correctly worded Capitalisation of the title has been corrected to be consistent with the book table of contents Capitalisation of the sub-title has been corrected to be consistent with the book table of contents User page Used effectively Description about self provided Consider linking to your eportfolio page and/or any other professional online profile or resume such as LinkedIn. This is not required, but it can be useful to interlink your professional networks. External link provided to book chapter - changed to internal link Social contribution None summarised with link(s) to evidence Headings Basic, 1-level heading structure - could benefit from further development, perhaps using a 2-level structure See earlier comment about Heading casing Key points The most promising/useful section is "How can we promote & encourage self-care?". Consider expanding/building the chapter around this section. Avoid providing too much background information. Briefly summarise general concepts and provide internal wiki links to other book chapters and/or Wikipedia pages for further information. Then focus most of the content of this chapter on directly answering the core question(s) posed by the chapter sub-title. Overview - Consider adding: what will be covered adjust focus questions to address the sub-title topic: How can employers promote and encourage employee self-care? an image an example or case study Target an international audience; Australians only represent 0.33% of the world population Avoid overcapitalisation (APA style) - more info Basic development of key points for most sections, with relevant citations Strive for an integrated balance of theory and research Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters. This is particularly important for this chapter as there are several other chapters about closely related concepts. Consider including more examples/case studies Conclusion (the most important section): hasn't been developed what might the take-home, practical messages be? in a nutshell, what are the answer(s) to the question(s) in the sub-title? Figure A figure is presented Caption should use APA style e.g., include Figure X. ... Caption could better explain how the image connects to key points being made in the main text Cite each figure at least once in the main text Consider increasing image size from default to make it easier to view References Move non-academic sources to the External links section Use APA style (or wiki referencing style) Resources See also OK Have adjusted to fit style guide External links OK Have adjusted to fit style guide

Suggestions

Hi there! Great work so far. I just have a few suggestions to make that could improve your book chapter: 1. I think it could enhance the appearance of your book chapter by adding some colour. So for your focus questions you could present them in a coloured box, rather than just black and white 2. I think it would be beneficial if you interacted with the readers and included some case studies and/or quizzes 3. It would be interesting to see what theories relate to your topic. I found this article here which expresses some theories related to employee motivation to get you started: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/014920638901500210?casa_token=6oFEFegKLk8AAAAA:NFiVhrMwwP-lUM4pkN35mkMm5IAVRxqBLG9beF_kl9NZpJytuwxbGW6j1sz_9m77t0TZSoA23c86hA The article is called Self Theories and Employee Motivation I hope you find my suggestions useful and find the article interesting. Thank you --U3202023 (discuss • contribs) 06:26, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

Quizzes and a topic suggestion

Hi, Looks like you have a great start here. I would like to echo the previous suggestion of adding quizzes into your work. They are a great way of engaging the reader. I have included some sample code here for you. If you go to "edit source" you can copy this code into your own page and then change the text throughs he normal editor.

Quiz 1 - This is a simple quiz:

	True
	False

I also think adding a link to Vicarious trauma could be useful, this particularly affects people who work in care and mental health settings, and is a great example of why we need good self-care. Cheers, JediClass

Multimedia feedback

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's UCLearn site. Written feedback is provided below, plus see the general feedback page. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below. If you would like further clarification about the marking or feedback, contact the unit convener.

Overall Overall, this is a basic presentation. Overview Add and narrate an initial title/sub-title slide, to help the viewer understanding the focus and goal of the presentation. Briefly explain why this topic is important. Consider asking focus questions that lead to take-away messages. Content The presentation addresses the topic. An appropriate amount of content is presented - not too much or too little. The presentation makes very good use of relevant psychological theory. The presentation makes little use of relevant psychological research. The presentation makes good use of one or more examples or case studies or practical advice. Conclusion The presentation could be strengthened by adding a Conclusion slide with practical, take-home messages. Audio The audio is easy to follow. The presentation makes good use of narrated audio. Audio communication is clear and well paced. Good intonation enhances listener interest and engagement. Consider improving articulation to enhance the clarity of speech. Audio recording quality was very good. Video Overall, visual display quality is good. The presentation makes basic use of animated slides. The font size is sufficiently large to make it easy to read. The visual communication is supplemented by images and/or diagrams. The presentation is well produced using PowToon. Meta-data The chapter title is used, but the sub-title (or a shortened version of it) is not used in the name of the presentation - the latter would help to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. A written description of the presentation is not provided. Links to and from the book chapter are provided. Licensing Image sources and their copyright status are not provided. Probably the images are all from PowToon but this is not explicitly stated. A copyright license for the presentation is not provided.

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. Chapter marks will be available via UCLearn along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

Overall Overall, this is a basic, but sufficient chapter. Well over the maximum word count. Addressing the topic development feedback could have helped to improve this chapter. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits. Overview Solid Overview. Clearly explains the problem or phenomenon. Clear focus question(s). Consider introducing a case study or example or using an image to help engage reader interest. Theory — Breadth Relevant theory is reasonably well explained. Summarise the background, general theory because the chapter is over the maximum word count. Theory — Depth Good depth is provided about the selected theory(ies). Some useful examples are provided to illustrate theoretical concepts. Australia can be used as a case study, but the chapter should address an international audience. Research — Key findings Basic overview of relevant research. More detail about key studies would be ideal. Greater emphasis on effect sizes, major reviews, and/or meta-analyses would be helpful. Research — Critical thinking Insufficient critical thinking about research is evident. Critical thinking about research could be further evidenced by: describing the methodology (e.g., sample, measures) in important studies discussing the direction of relationships considering the strength of relationships acknowledging limitations suggesting specific directions for future research Some claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the tags). Integration There is basic integration between theory and research. Conclusion Missing Written expression — Style Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is good. Internationalise: Write for an international, rather than domestic, audience. Australians make up only 0.32% of the world human population. Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned"). Instead: it is, most often, not needed at all, or use section linking. Layout See earlier comments about heading casing. Sections which branch into sub-sections should include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections. Grammar The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the tags). Grammar-checking tools are available in most internet browsers and word processing software packages. Another option is to share draft work with peers and ask for their assistance. Check and correct use of affect vs. effect. Proofreading Remove unnecessary capitalisation. APA style Do not capitalise the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc.. Direct quotes need page numbers — even better, write in your own words. Figures Figure captions should use this format: Figure X. Descriptive caption in sentence casing. See example. Refer to each Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1). Tables Table captions should use APA style. See example. Refer to each Table at least once within the main text (e.g., see Table 1). Citations are not in full APA style (7th ed.). For example: Use ampersand (&) inside parentheses and "and" outside parentheses. References are not in full APA style. For example: Use alphabetical order. Move non-peer-reviewed sources to the external links section Check and correct use of capitalisation[1] Check and correct use of italicisation Written expression — Learning features Overall, the use of learning features is good. No use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding interwiki links for the first mention of key words and technical concepts would make the text more interactive. See example. Basic use of image(s). Good use of table(s). Good use of feature box(es). No use of quiz(zes). Very good use of case studies or examples. Good use of interwiki links in the "See also" section. Good use of external links in the "External links" section. Social contribution No logged social contributions.
