Applied Motivational Theory
[ send me this paper ]
An 11 page paper discussing the theory behind motivating employees. Following a decade of downsizing, cost cutting and merging, more and more businesses look for ways to give their employees what they want. Too many companies believe that employee motivation rests in monetary rewards, without either realizing or acknowledging individuals' needs for recognition. Formal studies and informal surveys alike reveal that while managers often will list money as the top factor in motivating employees, the employees themselves are much more likely to list first their desire for recognition, for someone to let them know they truly have done a good job, a fact well known by some of the country's most successful companies. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Are Women More “People-Oriented” Leaders?
[ send me this paper ]
This 6 page report
discusses the time-honored assumption, at least in modern times,
that women are more people-oriented leaders than men. Are women
more people-oriented and greater believers in “participative”
management? There is only one definitive answer and it is not
particularly satisfying. That answer is -- “it depends.” Many
social scientists commonly maintain that there is no empirical
basis for assuming that gender has a direct influence on
leadership style. Others researchers are convinced that female
leaders are more concerned about interpersonal relationships and
use a more democratic and participative leadership style than do
men. Research on the issue is examined. Bibliography lists 8
sources.
