H) Did the employees look motived?

McDonalds employees have many different responsibilities in some environment. Even their job is tired they do management to motivate their customers by making sure they are focused and have the energy to work efficiently. Employees work the most when they truly feel up to the tasks. Although the term 'benefits' is becoming a term. The benefits package is a great way to look motivated. Incentives are also produce hard working employee and motivate all to become the best employees.

When we ask the employee what kind of work they enjoy, they also find out about what they’re hoping to do in the future. Giving employees opportunities to build the skills and make the connections they need to get ahead in their careers will build loyalty and motivation. It’s very important for employees to keep learning new skills on the job. With people changing jobs more often than they used to and  no longer promising long-term employment, employee in particular realize that continuing to learn is the way to stay employable.

Employees pay attention to the big picture and the details, and care about both the product and the employees. A good way to show that is be involved in the creation process, and to pay attention to what is going on in the enviroment.  They said remember to do this with a smile on your face. Lighten up! Making work fun really pays off, since customers often get a lot more done when they enjoy themselves.

Employers are often amazed how well this one little trick, which costs nothing, can so strongly motivate employee behavior. Managers often think that their employees are only motivated by money, but the truth is, employees want to like their jobs. They want to like their higher management. This can be a huge leverage for employers, especially in tough times when need sometimes its just there for performance.

If  motivation efforts aren’t working, it may not be your fault. Not everyone can be motivated for that particular job. If an employee would really rather be doing something else, it may be best to encourage him or her to pursue something new.

D) Identify one theory from the notes that you feel related to the outlet explain and why?

The motivation of employees is important to organizations since it is one of several factors that significantly affects the productivity of employees.Raising the level of motivation increases profitability through greater creativity and commitment in employees.

Motivation-Hygiene Theory:

 Five factors stood out as strong determiners of job satisfaction:

·        Achievement

·        Recognition

·        Work itself

·        Responsibility

·        Advancement

The last three factors were found to be most important for bringing about lasting changes of attitude. It should be noted, that recognition refers to recognition for achievement as opposed to recognition in the human relations sense.

By providing motivators and removing hygienes, management can facilitate the growth of employees. This is essential to both the individual and the organization. Growth makes the employee more valuable to the organization because of his/her ability to perform higher order duties. Management cannot really motivate employees, it can only create the environment in which the employees motivate themselves.

Adding tasks can raise the level of challenge in any particular job to a level commensurate with the abilities of an employee. It might be argued that, if a job can not be enriched and it is not challenging to the person in that position, then that person ought to be replaced by someone who will find the job challenging. Adding different tasks to a job to provide greater involvement and interaction with the task.

An application of Maslow's concepts suggests that people work to achieve what they do not have. As such, the set of  motivators can different from person to person. Instead of saying that Herzberg’s findings only apply to middle level professionals, it would be more correct to say that Herzberg’s findings apply to people that have needs and wants similar to the test subjects.

When attempting to motivate employees, it is important to know their needs. Effective motivation results from a  determination of what will motivate employees and then providing the factors that address those needs.
