1. Look over Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and try to determine where you are right now on the hierarchy. What needs of yours are not being met? How could a company go about meeting those needs and thus motivate you to work more effectively?
2. One recent managerial idea is to let employees work in self-managed teams. There is no reason why such teams could not be formed tin colleges as well as businesses. Discuss the benefits and drawbacks of dividing your class into self-managed teams for the purpose of studying, doing cases, and so forth.
3. Think of all groups with which you have been associated over the years – sports groups, friendship groups, and so on – and try to recall how the leaders of those groups motivated the group to action. Did the leaders assume a Theory X or a Theory Y attitude? How often was money a motivator? What other motivational tools were used and to what effect?
4. Herzberg concluded that pay was not a motivator. If you were paid to get better grades, would you be motivated to study harder? If your employment experiences, have you ever worked harder to obtain a raise or as a result of receiving a large raise? Do you agree with Herzberg about the effects of pay?
