Organizational Motivation Plan
Motivation is defined as forces within the individual that account for the direction, level, and persistence of a person’s effort expended at work. Direction refers to an individuals’ choice when presented with a number of possible alternatives. Level refers to the amount of effort a person puts forth. Persistence refers to the length of time a person sticks with a given action. (Schermerhorn,J)
According to Alexander Hiam, (Author of in Motivational Management: Inspiring Your People for Maximum Performance), Managers have a tough job. By definition, they must accomplish their goals and do their work through the work of others. The old saying that ‘‘If you want something done right, do it yourself’’ has a ring of truth to it, because it is usually harder to get employees to do a challenging job well than to do it yourself. Yet managers must let go of their own urge to just step in and make things right, and they must instead nurture the necessary competencies and commitment in their employees. I believe that if you have the most qualified leaders that encourage positive attitudes within the organizations, then half of the battle is won. The motivational plan that I would put in place will be comprised of several Motivational theories such as MBO, Equity, and Expectancy theory.
Step 1-Establish organizational objectives and goals The organizational goals and objectives would be clear, concise, and obtainable. The goals will be outlined on a quarterly basis with and ultimate goals identified. Revise the mission statement and identify preliminary employee incentives. The immediate objectives will consist of identify the causes for product defect, come up with a solution, and put the plan in action. Therefore, we can decrease our cost by 30% and decrease our delivery times by 50%.
