discussion questions

Hello, Discussion questions each one can be a half of page maybe. FIRST DISCUSSION: Motivation is the psychological process that arouses and directs behavior. There are six important theories that will help us understand the motivation of employees in the workplace: -Self-efficacy is the belief in one's personal ability to do a task. There is a lot to be said about scoring high in this trait. People who are confident about their abilities tend to succeed, whereas those who doubt their abilities tend to fail. Respond to the following: Self - efficacy Take a moment to think about what it would take to motivate you to achieve your goals at work; which theory would you use and why? Reflect on an experience you had with a person at work or with a family or friend that needed to be motivated. How would you motivate them to achieve their goals? Which motivational theory would you use and why? SECOND DISCUSSION: We have all worked in a group or team at some point in our careers. A team is brought together to achieve a common goal. The team needs to have members who have complementary skills and who are committed to a common purpose to achieve performance goals. However, teams don't move immediately toward performing but instead evolve over time. There are five stages of group and team development: Forming: Getting oriented and getting acquainted. A high degree of uncertainty as members try to figure out who is in charge. Storming: Personalities start to emerge, along with roles and conflicts within the group. Norming: In the third stage, conflicts are resolved, relationships develop, and harmony and unity surface. Performing: Members concentrate on solving problems and completing the assigned task. Adjourning: Members prepare to disband. Some members may be reassigned or terminated from the group, or the group might be dissolved. Think about a time when you joined a new group—it could be at work, in a family setting, or with a social group. Respond to the following: Which of the five stages was the most challenging for the group to work through, and why? How might you have helped the group work through that stage differently, based on what you know now about the five stages of group and team development?
