Trying to encourage them that they are to look at there situation in a positive manner, when they are hungry, homeless, and cold, would be doing them a great disservice. First try and help them with their basic needs, then they will be able to focus better on the other needs in their lives. Also as a HSW, I must develop a client and service worker relationship that is built on trust. I must inform the client that my main responsibility is to them and to help them find and to achieve their goal or goals in life. If my job is not important to me, and my desire to bring about a positive change in the life of some one, then trying to become a HSW is not a field that I must endeavor to
McClelland and vroom-This theory is simple and it says people are motivated depending on the outcome. This means if an employee doesn’t like the outcome the task is going to produce, then he or she won’t want to complete the task at hand. This theory says to relate rewards to the performance and it is something that the employee would want. This theory says that if an employee is kept happy then the employee will be motivated to work harder. Tesco would not use this method but parts of it such as get Tesco employee rewards that relate to them and their performance Maslow-This theory says that people’s needs have to be met first before an employer can get the best out of their employees.
Decision making with your employees will let them gain respect for the leader and become more determined. This style will bring strength between you and your employees. Laissez-Faire-This style is used when the leader is lazy or distracted, it’s more of a you do what you want style. This style can be used when the team is highly capable and motivated, it’s when the team doesn’t need close monitoring or supervision. This style can cause failure when the leader expects the group to make the decision between themselves when they are un sure about what they need to achieve and how they need to accomplish the task.
We must be patient and be able to tolerate varying amounts of floundering, confusion and false starts. We also must allow the individual to take their time to discover their own solutions while being honest with them without being judgemental. If for instance, an individual is showing lack of progress, we need to continue to motivate them and empower them to help themselves. The individual will be experiencing low self-esteem in these circumstances and we need to remind them of past successes. If progress is being made, we need to continue to encourage them and congratulate their progress.
This is very difficult because in order for the team to feel as equally passionate about the common goal, the manager must communicate the goal in a way that makes each employee feel they are doing their part individually to achieve the common goal. The same goal cannot be communicated to the IT staff in the same way that it is communicated to the operations staff. Each subset of teams has a separate objective all leading to a common goal. Knowing when and how to deal with employees who are performing low is also pertinent as a general manager. Ultimately the general manager wants to have a great team.
It is essential to reduce complacency and increase urgency by developing a vision that others will encompass. With the economy in our society today, people are keeping their jobs even if they do not have job satisfaction. People seem to become complacent with their jobs because they are at least collecting a paycheck and receiving health care benefits. (Kotter, Pg 48) Job satisfaction correlates with Maslow’s Need Hierarchy Related to the Job. Maslow’s needs include physiological, safety and security, belongingness, social and love.
Furthermore, love and belonging refers to the interpersonal relationship, in which relationships with family, friends, lovers, and others are drawn; providing humans with a sense of acceptance and attachments. Esteem refers to the need to be respected and accepted and, most importantly, the need of self-respect. People develop their esteem as they are recognized by others, gaining a certain level of social status and thus build their own self-respect. The last is about the self-actualization, in which an individual realizes his or her potentials. Because the human brain is driven by a basic instinct to survive, this need trumps all others, thus it’s easy to see how obvious biological and physiological needs, such as food, drink, shelter, warmth, and sex, formed the basis of Maslow’s pyramid.
The top level is the self-realization needs they consist of involvement in planning of your work, creative work to perform, opportunities for growth and development, etc. The lowest level of the pyramid are the needs that are the easiest met, the next level of needs are more challenging to meet, and so on with the top level of the pyramid being the hardest but most satisfying. Maslow suggested that to prevent frustration these needs should be filled in sequential order. The ways I would motivate my employees would be to follow Maslow’s advice and start at the bottom and work my way up. Starting with making sure my employees were paid efficiently, had pleasant working conditions, reasonable rest periods, and I would teach them efficient work methods.
Abstract Technology's purpose should be to provide support and help improve people's and organization's lives. Even though there are positive and negative sides to its use, it is important to see technology as an empowerment tool. Human Services organizations face day to day challenges while trying to help people to develop and achieve better-living conditions. In this regard, software can be an enhancer of objectives they pursue. There are advantages and some disadvantages when implementing this kind of instrument, but in the end, the success and extent of the use of technology depends on the particular organization's needs and demands.
Furthermore, by lending an empathetic ear and accurately identifying the root cause of problems, the plan builds relevant solutions to meet employee needs, enabling enhanced performance. Another strength is boosting the workplace atmosphere through optimism. The plan has some weaknesses in addition to the above listed strengths. For instance, an approach using emotional intelligence attributes may be perceived as invasive or personal, resulting in employee resistance (Pearman, 2011). Also, some employees may not be capable or willing to transition to a positive mindset.
