Course Outline / Curriculum
Understanding Motivation and Its Types
- Motivation: The internal drive that directs effort, energy, and persistence toward goals.
- Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic:
- Intrinsic = driven by enjoyment, interest, or values
- Extrinsic = driven by rewards or avoiding consequences
- Motivation vs. Compliance:
- Compliance = doing the minimum required
- Motivation = showing initiative and extra effort
- The Role of Money:
- Important for basic needs, but not a strong long-term motivator
Core Motivational Theories
- Self-Determination Theory (SDT): People are motivated by autonomy, competence, and connection
- Expectancy Theory: People act when they believe effort leads to performance, which leads to rewards
- Equity Theory: Perceived fairness influences effort
- Goal-Setting Theory: Clear and challenging goals improve performance
- Reinforcement Theory: Behaviour follows consequences (rewarded = repeated)
Key Drivers of Engagement
- Psychological Safety: People feel safe to speak up and take risks
- Autonomy, Mastery, Purpose:
- Autonomy = control over work
- Mastery = growth and skill development
- Purpose = meaningful work
Supervisor / Manager Behaviours that Demotivate
- Micromanagement
- Inconsistency
- Public criticism
- Lack of recognition
- Poor communication
Practical Skills for Driving Motivation
- SBI Model: Situation → Behaviour → Impact
- Effort vs. Outcome: Recognise both how work is done and results achieved
- Goal Setting: Combine SMART goals with meaning, ownership, and challenge
Managing Different Employee Profiles
- High Performers: Need challenge and autonomy
- Steady Contributors: Need recognition and development
- Resistant Employees: Need root-cause diagnosis (e.g. fairness, trust issues)
Diagnosing and Addressing Low Motivation
- Skill vs. Will:
- Skill issue → training/support
- Will issue → motivation/engagement approach
