Employee portfolio motivation action plan / mgt 311 / mgt/311 / week 3
The strategy of investing in new technology and hiring additional personnel to increase production capacity connects to the expectancy theory of motivation. According to this theory, individuals are motivated by their belief that their efforts will result in desired outcomes. Investing in new technology and hiring additional personnel provides employees with a sense of clarity about how their hard work translates into results – namely, improved production capacity. Moreover, providing employees with access to the resources they need (such as appropriate technology) and the support they require (such as training for new staff members) helps them feel more secure and empowered in their roles, which can further motivate them towards achieving organizational goals.
