Summary:
Motivation: factors that simulate desire and energy in people, to be interested in a job or role and to be exert persistent effort in attending a goal.
Need:a state or condition within an individual that generates movement toward some outcome or reward.
Managers cannot assume they understand employees’ needs. They should recognize the variety of needs that motivate employee behavior and ask employees for input to better understand their needs.
In the class were referred to various theories of motivation which can be very effective to apply to certain people but no one that can be used for all cases, because people are very different and have different priorities and act based on different things according to moral maturity. taken as an incentive ethical principles (morally mature) or egocentric motivations (morally immature).
A person, man or woman is motivated when he or she wants to do something. while a person could be enthusiastic about a stimulus, her main reason for achieving something could be the fear of failure, the desire to distinguish herself from the others, the wish of acquiring knowledge, and other things.
the motivation of a person covers all the reasons for which he choses to act in a certain manner.
Question:
In multicultural organizational contexts what could be a good strategy to keep people motivated towards a common task?
As people are different and have diverse priorities, I think a good strategy would be to first know the variety of employee needs to understand and implement the solution that will motivate them, whether economic incentives, awards, symbols of differentiation or consent which make workers feel the desire to perform assigned tasks. To complement this strategy I propose trainings, and assign specific tasks that make employees feel more skills and experience to perform common tasks and achieve business goals.
