About motivation notes
GoConqr OriginalWhat the motivation notes cover
The notes look at motivation in the workplace from several angles. One covers Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, while another uses his theory in exam questions. Other notes describe financial rewards, including salary, wages and performance-related pay, or methods such as job rotation and job enrichment.
How to revise with notes
Start with Lectures for an introduction to motivation and its influence on workplace performance and productivity. Then read the notes on Maslow’s hierarchy and try explaining the levels in your own words. Use the exam-question note to practise a written explanation of the theory.
For a different focus, read Non-Payment Methods of Motivation and compare its examples with the notes on financial rewards. After reading, close the notes and recall the methods without looking. If you want a change of format, return to the unit page and use its flashcards for key terms or a quiz to check your recall. Pick a note and begin with one idea.
Frequently asked questions
Which note is a useful place to start?
Start with Lectures if you want an introduction to motivation and its influence on workplace performance and productivity. If you are practising a written explanation instead, try the note with exam questions on Maslow’s theory. You can return to the hierarchy notes when you want to review the levels of need.
Are these notes free to use?
Yes. Every note listed on this page is free to open and study without an account. The notes were made by GoConqr users rather than by GoConqr. A free account also lets you save quiz scores and make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
Which notes cover ways to motivate people at work?
You can find notes on financial rewards such as salary, wages and performance-related pay.
