A major problem in many organizations, including healthcare, is how to motivate employees. High turnover rates are costly for organizations. Also, high absenteeism, low morale, low productivity, cyber loafing are just some of the problems that have been associated with unmotivated employees.
Write a brief 3-4 typed pages position paper (excluding the cover sheet and resources/bibliography/note pages) on how to motivate employees in healthcare organizations. You will need to determine which theoretical framework on motivation you would like to utilize. After you have selected your theory, your position paper on motivation should be based on that theory. You can use more than one theory, if you think it is needed. But, you will need to relate the theories. Then, you will need to use a minimum of three peer reviewed journal articles to support your position. Your position paper should be well organized and provides a formal approach to substantiate your position. Also, you will need to cite research sources using APA formatting.
Chapters 9 and 10 will be more beneficial for this assignment. You will need to use the textbook, as well as scholarly journal articles as they relate to motivating employees. You will need to select one or more motivational theories that you feel support your position.
You will be graded on content and grammar.
