1) Pete is an engineer. He has a degree and has been working for his current organization, for the past 10 years. He likes nothing better than to have the time and space to develop and work on new projects. He is particularly interested in the new computer systems and techniques which support his work. In fact, he often takes the software packages home to tinker about on his home computer with them. He loves the mathematical challenge of it all, but gets frustrated at times with the sales team who seem to change their mind about what they want. In addition, the procurement department always seem to want masses of paperwork from him. Whilst he is dedicated to his job, he has quite a few outside interests and likes to work regular hours so that he can manage his social commitments. What do you think Pete’s motivational package is? As his manager, how could you encourage Pete to maintain and develop his motivation?
