Over the decades, numerous theories of motivation have been developed. Most of the older theories have been shown to not be particularly valid and, therefore, not good predictors of motivational force. More contemporary theories can explain the motivational force in particular situations well. Therefore, industrial\/organizational (I\/O) psychologists must understand which theory best predicts\/clarifies human motivation based on the particulars of the situation.\tFor this assignment, the following contemporary theories are considered:\t\u00b7 \ufffd\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Self-Determination Theory\/Cognitive Evaluation Theory\t\u00b7 \ufffd\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Goal-Setting Theory\t\u00b7 \ufffd\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Self-Efficacy Theory\t\u00b7 \ufffd\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Reinforcement Theory\t\u00b7 \ufffd\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Equity Theory\/Organizational Justice Theory\t\u00b7 \ufffd\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Expectancy Theory\tUsing the Argosy University online library resources, the readings for this module, and the Internet, review these contemporary theories of motivation. Then, correctly apply the appropriate theory to the following two scenarios:\t\u00b7 \ufffd\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A professional working for a major corporation is assigned goals each quarter. If all goals are achieved, a substantial bonus is paid. One quarter, workers review their new goals and make the determination that they are not likely to achieve all the goals.\t\u00b7 \ufffd\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A person works in a department with eight coworkers, and they all do the same job. They believe that one worker (who they know well) is receiving more perks and rewards than they are for the same amount and quality of work.\tFor each scenario:\t\u00b7 \ufffd\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 State the selected theory of motivation that best applies to that scenario.\t\u00b7 \ufffd\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Summarize the theory chosen.\t\u00b7 \ufffd\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Explain how the theory selected explains\/predicts motivational force.\tYour final product should be a 3- to 4-page Microsoft Word document and should use a minimum of 3 sources from professional literature. Professional literature may include the Argosy University online library resources, relevant textbooks, peer-reviewed journal articles, and websites created by professional organizations, agencies, or institutions (.edu, .org, and .gov).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
