Discussion, for class Wednesday, February 28:
1. Which motivates you more? Intrinsic or extrinsic rewards? When you imagine getting an "A" grade in a class, are you more motivated by the tangible rewards of a higher GPA or by the self-satisfaction of a job well done?
2. Which of the strategies to increase employee motivation (work style, performance strategies, pay strategies) would motivate you at work? Why?
3. Overall, which motivation theory do you like best? Why?
