Homonoff, T. A. (2013). Can small incentives have large effects? The impact of taxes versus bonuses on disposable bag use. Working Papers. Princeton University. Industrial Relations Section; 575. Motivation can be unconscious or conscious, extrinsic (motivated by consequences of the behavior) or intrinsic (motivated by the behavior itself), and approach or avoidance orientated. Research has shown that avoidance motivation is stronger than approach motivation. People care more about avoiding losses than they do about achieving equal-size gains. This concept is termed loss aversion. Homonoff (2013) studied grocery stores in Washington, DC, that attempted to get their customers to reuse their shopping bags by giving them a 5-cent bonus when they did so, or imposing a 5-cent tax wher they did not, both the bonus and the tax, or neither of these things. The results are shown in Figure 8.1. 47.8% 44.2% Proportion of Customers Using a Reusable Bag 15.4% 13.1% No Incentive Bonus Only Тах Only…

Employees come into organizations with different needs, personalities, skills, abilities, interests,and aptitudes. They have different expectations of their employers and different views of what they think their employer has a right to expect of them. And they vary widely in what they want from their jobs.

So, I have a drive to get something to eat (motive). I eat a ham sandwich (behavior), and that ends my hunger (satisfaction.) Or, for a dissatisfaction example, say I lose my job and am left without income (need). I am motivated to try to find another job to support my family (motive). I apply for several jobs, and get two interviews (behavior). But, I don't get offered either job. I am dissatisfied as that was not what I had hoped for. PART 2 QUESTION: Give two examples (different from the above examples) of times when you have gone through the motivation process. One example should be when the outcome of the process for you…

Reflect on the differences between the culture in China and the culture in the United States and how the differences influence the types of incentives a firm might offer to motivate its employees. Using the readings, lecture, and your own scholarly research, complete an incentive analysis for China and the United States with the purpose of motivating workers. Address the following in your paper: What is the motivation culture of China and of the United States? What does a U.S. firm setting up operations in China need to know about the work culture of a Chinese employee? What incentives should an international manager offer to motivate Chinese workers of an American company?

Based on the various theories, people need motivators to satisfy their needs. How do these theories drive the compensation process? Should rewards be based on equity “what goes on in a person’s head”, expectancy “the probability a task can be completed” or performance?
