This book was released on 2019 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper reviews the literature on employee empowerment in the public sector workplace, with careful attention to the fundamental theoretical assumptions of the body of work and the empirical research on public sector employee motivation and its impact on job performance. This paper highlights important research findings relating to the adverse impacts of economic approaches and financial rewards as motivating incentives for public sector employees in government jobs to be applied as an HRM practice. It further outlines the positive attributes of motivating public employees intrinsically. This study contributes to our understanding of the differences between public and private sector motivational strategies by demonstrating that, public sector employees are generally less extrinsically motivated. The current psychological research on employee motivation in the public sector developed in the literature review emphasizes on the importance of social cognitive theories and practices, such as the application of goal commitment and goal-setting theory, self-affirmation, P-O Fit theory, work autonomy, and transformational leadership as the most effective avenues for public administrators to empower and motivate government employees. Using an explanatory research design, the specific question this research aims to explore is whether or not employee empowerment programs are effective in terms of motivating employees and ultimately enhancing employee job performance in the City of Glendale.

Download or read book Employee Engagement in Human Resource Management Practices and Work Motivation in the Public Sector written by Grace Mejia Garcia and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an altruistic public sector employee it is imperative to exemplify qualities of motivation and high levels of engagement within their organization. Public sector employees and the organization thrive and grow together when their goals are aligned. There is a belief that public sector employees are uninspired, lazy and deliver subpar services to their organizations and communities because they are overworked and underpaid. This study will examine how the impact of motivation, compensation, levels of engagement and work environmental factors might influence and affect employee performance. The purpose of having motivation is to also feel self-fulfillment in one's role to make a difference and also feel a connection to the organizations mission. The organization that will be part of the research study to measure motivation and engagement will be the "Department of Children and Family Services". Approximately 216 social workers will be recruited to be a part of 4 clusters (groups) of focus groups within the greater Los Angeles area. Additionally, to gauge a better idea without any influences from their coworkers in-depth interviews will be held with 20 social workers to have one-on-one interactions with each other, so that researchers can focus on their own personal realities of what it is like to keep constant motivation and engagement with the never-ending pressures being a social worker.
Download or read book Impact of Performance Feedback on Employee Empowerment in the Public Sector written by Violeta Martinez and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organizational leaders have implemented empowerment practices and/or adopted empowerment leadership styles to produce positive outcomes for their organizations. Empowering employees has been associated with increased employee engagement and job satisfaction. Based on organizational theory, this conceptual paper explores employee empowerment from three perspectives (managerial, psychological, and interactional) to present a comprehensive analysis of existing empowerment literature. Additionally, literature on performance feedback and the organizational outcomes associated with employee empowerment are also explored. While empowerment literature has explored employee empowerment as a mediating variable to various organizational outcomes (e.g., increased performance, increased job satisfaction, and increased employee engagement), minimal literature was found that explored performance feedback as an antecedent to employee empowerment. Thus, this study attempts to fill this gap by exploring whether providing frequent informal feedback contributes to perceptions of empowerment in public service employees of a County of Los Angeles department. This study is socially pertinent because traditional performance appraisals (i.e., annual performance evaluations) may not be meeting employees’ developmental needs. The proposed research design for this study is a non-experimental qualitative study based on semi-structured interviews with non-supervising employees from various work locations of the County of Los Angeles Child Support Services Department. Archival data is also reviewed and analyzed to augment the data collected. A thematic content analysis is conducted to identify recurring themes relating to the research question. Despite its limitations, this study provides a comprehensive exploration of various empowerment perspectives.

This book was released on 2019-02-14 with total page 1435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experts from across all industrial-organizational (IO) psychology describe how increasingly rapid technological change has affected the field. In each chapter, authors describe how this has altered the meaning of IO research within a particular subdomain and what steps must be taken to avoid IO research from becoming obsolete. This Handbook presents a forward-looking review of IO psychology's understanding of both workplace technology and how technology is used in IO research methods. Using interdisciplinary perspectives to further this understanding and serving as a focal text from which this research will grow, it tackles three main questions facing the field. First, how has technology affected IO psychological theory and practice to date? Second, given the current trends in both research and practice, could IO psychological theories be rendered obsolete? Third, what are the highest priorities for both research and practice to ensure IO psychology remains appropriately engaged with technology moving forward?

Download or read book Drive written by Daniel H. Pink and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2011-04-05 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times bestseller that gives readers a paradigm-shattering new way to think about motivation from the author of When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing Most people believe that the best way to motivate is with rewards like money—the carrot-and-stick approach. That's a mistake, says Daniel H. Pink (author of To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Motivating Others). In this provocative and persuasive new book, he asserts that the secret to high performance and satisfaction-at work, at school, and at home—is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world. Drawing on four decades of scientific research on human motivation, Pink exposes the mismatch between what science knows and what business does—and how that affects every aspect of life. He examines the three elements of true motivation—autonomy, mastery, and purpose-and offers smart and surprising techniques for putting these into action in a unique book that will change how we think and transform how we live.
Download or read book Motivation in Work Organizations written by Edward E. Lawler, III and published by Jossey-Bass. This book was released on 1994-04-15 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than twenty years, Edward E. Lawler III has had worldwide influence in the areas of management and organization design. This landmark book, one of the most-cited volumes on the topic of motivation in the workplace, defines Lawler's basic philosophy: in order to have effective organizations, we must understand how to motivate and encourage effective individual performance. Time-tested theories have been the basis for nearly all of Lawler's subsequent work in the areas of pay and reward systems, employee involvement, organization design, and organizational change. In his new introduction to this classic edition, he shows how his original emphasis on work design and reward systems is especially relevant to the current emphasis on creating high performance work organizations through new organization design and management approaches. Lawler's theories continue to help us understand the world around us today, forming the basis for many successful managerial practices found in today's workplace, and continue to prove that no matter what organization design or approach is used, it cannot succeed if it fails to motivate employees to perform well.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Creativity Innovation and Entrepreneurship written by Christina Ellen Shalley and published by Oxford Library of Psychology. This book was released on 2015 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creativity can be viewed as the first stage of the overall innovation process, an important dimension of the entrepreneurship and new venture creation processes, and as such, it is considered to be a cornerstone of organizational competitiveness in this global, knowledge-based economy. Research on creativity has increasingly become multilevel, with most work conducted at the individual or team level of analysis. At the same time, there is a large body of research being conducted at the organizational level of analysis on innovation, and there has been a significant amount of entrepreneurship research at the individual level, with an increasing focus on organizational entrepreneurship. However, these three research streams have developed independently, and there has been very little knowledge transfer between the three areas. Because entrepreneurship is often said to be a process that is required to convert innovation into business ventures that will deliver benefits to stakeholders, it is typically driven by an individual or small group of individuals. Creativity research, innovation research, and entrepreneurship research have the potential to inform each other, enriching our knowledge of each area, particularly with regard to the cognitive processes and behaviors that are most effective. This Handbook includes contributions from the leading scholars in these three research areas, who integrate contemporary research findings on organizational creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship and provide fruitful new research directions."
