So far in this course, you have been developing a breadth of knowledge in the field of I/O psychology. You have learned about the origins of this specialization and the fundamental tools of scientific research and observation in the field. You have considered how the performance of individuals and groups can impact an organization and how identifying individual performance differences can contribute to organizational performance improvement. You have examined job satisfaction and dissatisfaction, and types of organizational commitment.
This week, you will address some fundamentals of motivation. You will explore how employees are motivated to do their work and how their attitudes and emotions influence their job satisfaction. The concept of motivation is a major field of study and application in I/O psychology. What motivates people to work? Why do you work? Money, status, power, and personal meaning are often cited as responses; yet, each person has a unique response to this question. With greater diversity within the workforce, it presents a challenge to motivate workers with different values.
An organizational leader who hopes to be successful must understand the motivations of his or her employees. How can we understand why people do what they do: what drives them? How might we influence these motives in a manner productive for the individual as well as the organization? Consider the importance not only of knowing how to understand human motivation, but of knowing how to utilize what we learn effectively.
This week, you will also examine the practice of evidence-based coaching. Coaching has become one of the fastest growing occupations in the field of psychology. This week will introduce the best practices of the evidence-based approach to coaching, including coaching a diverse workforce and coaching in the virtual environment.
