Solution

The correct answers are:

  • Employers should try to provide a living wage.
  • Managers should prioritize meeting the level 1 and 2 needs of employees.
  • Research does not clearly support the theory and it likely presents an oversimplified view of motivation.

Explanation:

  • Maslow's work showed that employees have a hierarchy of needs, not just the need to earn a paycheck.
  • Providing a living wage aligns with Maslow's theory as it helps to meet the basic physiological needs of employees (level 1).
  • Prioritizing the meeting of level 1 and 2 needs (physiological and safety needs) is important as per Maslow's theory, as these are the most basic needs that need to be satisfied before employees can be motivated by higher-level needs.
  • Maslow's work has made significant contributions to our understanding of worker motivation, so the statement that it made no contribution is incorrect.
  • While Maslow's theory is widely recognized, it is also criticized for being oversimplified and not being fully supported by research.

The intention of these goals is to motivate employees to behave in a way that promotes the organization’s strategy. However, goals sometimes fail to motivate—and can even demotivate—individuals in the workplace if they are not properly set. This activity is important because managers must know how to not only develop well-thought-out goals but also to properly execute on the plan in order to successfully motivate their workforce. The goal of this activity is to provide you with problem-solving skills when it comes to issues related to motivation. SkyBlue, a popular airline, is introducing a new incentive plan that rewards employees for hitting certain marks on mishandled baggage and on-time departures.
