Employee Motivation and Performance Management in the Public Sector
I am uploading readings for session 6 to 7. Please see order 00133959 for previous readings from session 3-5 and you could use that draft as part of speech presentation. I will make ppt slides on my own, you only need to write the speech for me. Here is the instruction:
2) Commentary presentation. For this commentary, you should record a presentation (e.g., Powerpoint slides with voiceover narration) designed as an introductory training module on the topic of “Managerial Basics” for newly-appointed first-time managers. This presentation should be about 15 (+2) minutes long, and it is worth up to 18 points. The grading rubric for the presentation will be available on Blackboard. The presentation will be evaluated in terms of the extent to which it reflects broad coverage of the assigned readings, provides an integrative discussion of this material, synthesizes useful advice for managers, and is well-organized and presented professionally. Your presentation should be emailed to me by midnight on Wed., Oct. 20.
A note on citations and references: In your commentaries, you should explicitly cite the particular readings you refer to by providing the names of the authors in parentheses. You do not need to include the date of publication, nor do you need to provide the full citations for these readings in a reference list. However, if you cite any additional sources, i.e., that are not included on the syllabus, you should provide author name(s) and publication date along with the complete citation in a reference list at the end. In your presentation, you should include author names as appropriate on the slides (one option is to use footnotes), but it isn’t necessary to also refer to the authors in your narration of the slides.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Employee Motivation and Performance Management in the Public Sector
Discussions and research on employee motivation and performance management often tend to focus more on the private sector and less on the public sector. For example, in a literature review conducted by Perry et al. (2006), the number of articles focused on employee motivation in government workplaces was significantly fewer than those focusing on the private sector. Further, Christensen et al. (2017) add that scholarly work on employee motivation in the public sector often fails to inform leadership and management. However, a vital outcome of the literature review was that the current motivational strategies in the private sector are not necessarily as effective as when they are utilized in the private sector. This is a severe problem because the government is a crucial employer serving the public interests. As a result, there is a need to understand the aspects of motivation in the private sector that have an influential impact on employee motivation in the public sector since the two environments seem to pose different challenges and expectations on employees.
Employee Motivation in Private Sector
The traditional performance paradigms, often utilized in the private sector, consists of four core elements. These include employee incentives, employee participation, job design, and goal setting (Perry et al., 2006). These elements are motivated by several theories that have been applied historically to enhance employee motivation management. Unfortunately, while these elements are a mainstay in the private sector, they have been borrowed into the private sector, showing significant deficiencies in addressing motivational issues.
The theoretical propositions of the reinforcement theory underpin the utilization of financial incentives as a motivation factor. The theory’s core elements include behavior and performance. It assumes that when an employee is paid more (through salaries and benefits), they are more likely to enhance their performance. The theory’s premise is that employee behavior can be modified by offering financial incentives (Perry et al., 2006). In the private sector, financial incentives are given to individuals or as a group reward, including gainsharing and profit-sharing. Research has shown that financial incentives correlate with performance, but only to a certain extent (Cainarca et al., 2019). Thus, where economic incentives cannot enhance motivation, other elements are considered.
Among them is employee participation. Employee participation refers to the level of joint decision-making processes between employees and the management or leadership (Christensen et al., 2017). While...
