Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intrinsic Motivation at Work marks a major advance on the topic of work motivation -- one based on an understanding of the changing requirements of today's workplace and the limitations of older motivational models. Written in an engaging, accessible style, yet grounded in solid academic research, the book is divided into three parts. Part One assesses older models of work motivation and why they need an overhaul. Part Two explains the nature of the "new work" and the importance of reintroducing a feeling of purpose and self-management. Part Three presents in depth the four intrinsic rewards that make work energizing and compelling -- a sense of meaningfulness, a sense of choice, a sense of competence or quality, and a sense of progress -- and how to create them.

Download or read book Bridge the Gaps written by Jonathan Frejuste and published by . This book was released on 2018-02-27 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bridge the Gaps is a personal and community development guide and resource that will provide a set of tools that individuals can use to grow in self-awareness, self-development, and self-care. These tools will serve several purposes: -To guide people on their journeys to learn how they have been wired and teach them to build a life that matters based on their calling and personally and communally chosen values. -To provide individuals with the knowledge and motivation to cultivate the mindset, perspective, talents, and disciplines needed to be the best that they can be at what they have been called to do and serve their communities while remaining faithful to their calling. -To bring healing to individuals and subsequently to families and communities through tools of emotional health and expert information on particular issues facing our communities such as fatherlessness, colorism, sexual abuse, mental illness and mass incarceration. Michael Jordan has a quote, "I don't care if I fail as long as I did everything I could to succeed." This mindset signifies the level of commitment needed to bring about a true positive change in our communities . The byproduct of individuals making a commitment to consistently and diligently apply these tools and principles within one's sphere of influence will be what many believe to be impossible - a sustained change in the direction of our economic, relational, emotional, vocational, and communal lives. I believe it's possible. It may be hard, but it's worth it. It's not just worth it for our lives in this moment but for the generation to come - that they would have a better start than we may have had - that their tomorrow will be better than our today - that they have the motivation, the tools and the safety that we may not have had - that's why we Bridge the Gaps.

Download or read book Bridging the Gap Between Personality and Purpose written by Joshua King and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study combines the elements of personality in the Five-Factor Model with a practical application of work motivation to create a functioning framework to explain individual differences in motivation. Online tests were used to measure both of the elements due to funding limitations. The results from the tests suggested that Neuroticism from the Five-Factor Model is related to what is least motivating to a person. This was especially true of the subscale of Depression within the factor of Neuroticism. Such information is pivotal research in synthesizing personality and motivation and greatly contributes to bridging the gap between psychology and business through organizational behavior.

Download or read book How People Learn II written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2018-09-27 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many reasons to be curious about the way people learn, and the past several decades have seen an explosion of research that has important implications for individual learning, schooling, workforce training, and policy. In 2000, How People Learn: Brain, Mind, Experience, and School: Expanded Edition was published and its influence has been wide and deep. The report summarized insights on the nature of learning in school-aged children; described principles for the design of effective learning environments; and provided examples of how that could be implemented in the classroom. Since then, researchers have continued to investigate the nature of learning and have generated new findings related to the neurological processes involved in learning, individual and cultural variability related to learning, and educational technologies. In addition to expanding scientific understanding of the mechanisms of learning and how the brain adapts throughout the lifespan, there have been important discoveries about influences on learning, particularly sociocultural factors and the structure of learning environments. How People Learn II: Learners, Contexts, and Cultures provides a much-needed update incorporating insights gained from this research over the past decade. The book expands on the foundation laid out in the 2000 report and takes an in-depth look at the constellation of influences that affect individual learning. How People Learn II will become an indispensable resource to understand learning throughout the lifespan for educators of students and adults.
Download or read book Improving Health Professional Education and Practice Through Technology written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2018-11-19 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pressing challenge in the modern health care system is the gap between education and clinical practice. Emerging technologies have the potential to bridge this gap by creating the kind of team-based learning environments and clinical approaches that are increasingly necessary in the modern health care system both in the United States and around the world. To explore these technologies and their potential for improving education and practice, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine hosted a workshop in November 2017. Participants explored effective use of technologies as tools for bridging identified gaps within and between health professions education and practice in order to optimize learning, performance and access in high-, middle-, and low-income areas while ensuring the well-being of the formal and informal health workforce. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.

Download or read book Improving Learning Transfer written by Cyril Kirwan and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's constantly changing business environment, capable people are crucial to an organization's success, and developing their capabilities through training, learning and development initiatives is a major investment. While measuring the return on that investment is important, attempts to do so are much less valuable if they are not accompanied by a clear understanding of all of the factors than can affect the application of new skills and knowledge on the job - in other words, a clear understanding of what affects learning transfer. So, if organisations are to remain competitive, and develop the highly skilled people that will contribute to their future performance, improving learning transfer should be a priority. Cyril Kirwan's book addresses this critical issue at a number of levels. Firstly, it explores what learning transfer actually is (it's about application of learning back at work, as well as maintenance of that learning over time). Secondly, it describes the main factors that affect transfer, in terms of trainee characteristics, training design factors, and work environment characteristics. It also examines how those factors exert their effect, which ones are more important, how they interact with one another, and in doing so constructs a practical learning transfer model for practitioners. The book also describes in some detail what the various factors working for or against learning transfer look like in practice. Finally, using case studies, it points the way towards what can be done before, during and after training to improve the rate of transfer. This highly practical book will help trainers, development specialists and line managers ensure that their training is about real outcomes and not just inputs.

Download or read book Motivation written by Marvin R. Gottlieb Ph.D. and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shows managers how to identify opportunities for increasing productivity by enhancing commitment and provides tools for building a high-performing team. More than ever, senior and frontline managers are tasked with the development and maintenance of highly productive teams—a formidable challenge in all situations. Organizational directives for "lean," highly responsive, change-adaptive workforces have created an environment in which every aspect of productivity must be examined and improved in the quest to meet increasingly competitive global goals. About 30 percent of productivity is lost from knowledge workers who withhold undetected discretionary effort because managers fail to tap into motivation dynamics that impact the level of individual and team commitment. This book gives managers the tools they need to motivate their teams to deliver significantly better results. Readers of Motivation: The Manager's Key to Closing the Commitment Gap will gain a foundational understanding of motivation from theoretical, experimental, and anecdotal perspectives and identify key areas of potential untapped productivity. The book explores the changing workforce values, economic pressures, and the revised compact between employers and employees that create the commitment gap that results in untapped productivity. Managers will see how to go through a diagnostic and relationship-building process that creates powerful and productive dialogues, resolves conflict, and pinpoints behaviors and identifies tools to build a fully committed, high-performing team.
Download or read book Motivation Closing the Gap Between Theory and Practice written by Edward E Lawler (III.) and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problem of providing a motivating work environment for individuals is clearly a difficult one to solve, but it may not be as difficult as it appears to be at first glance. First, it is apparent that once the different motivation theories are examined there is a high level of agreement on some fundamental points. Admittedly, they have each stressed their own particular uniqueness and have, therefore, talked about different kinds of changes that are appropriate in organizations. Many of the changes they have suggested are not competitive with other changes; rather, they are compatible because the theories generally have a common set of points that they agree on. Admittedly, there is a paucity of models on how to create highly motivating conditions throughout organizations, but more and more organizations seem to be making some exciting inroads into figuring this out. In some ways the activity in some of the leading organizations seems to be outstripping the available theory and research.
