Write a 4-5 page speech that addresses the following:
Introduce yourself and the topic you are to address.
Briefly explain at the three motivational theories you researched for this assessment.
Simulate a short question-and-answer interview with a hypothetical audience member who raises his or her hand in response to your query, “Who in the audience feels unmotivated in their current job?”
Construct the information you need to make a proper decision on what motivational theory to apply to the particular situation.
Include the audience member’s job title, work responsibilities, attitude toward management and coworkers, stressors, and professional goals.
Analyze the relevant attitudes and motivations of the hypothetical employee based on the information you collected above.
Apply two motivational techniques from the literature (for example, contingent rewards, job enrichment, or feedback) in the context of the characteristics of the situation.
Suggest an action plan to be considered by both the employer and employee to increase motivation. Be sure to apply research findings to support your discussion.
Discuss why these motivational techniques are appropriate choices and what the desired outcomes might be.
