Motivation Strategies:

* Get to know employees and use motivation techniques appropriate to each person.

* Help employees want to become motivated.

* Open lines of communication between management and employees.

* Whenever possible, allow employees to participate in decisions affecting them.

* Give employees credit when due.

* Be willing to accept responsibility themselves when problems arise.

* Give employees authority to perform their tasks.

* Respect employees' abilities. Let employees do what they're trained to do, even if the manager could do it faster or better.

This is how we were motivated in casinos.

Go to see the boss in his office.

ask: "would it be possible to have a raise?"

answer: "yeah, stand on that chair"

and you then bow down, walking out of the office backwards lol.....

Individuals differ by:

- Self-esteem.
- Need for achievement

ha ha, quite funny beryllium, and both good answers. Just not what im looking for. The thing is, there are so many different strategies like, JOB ENLARGEMENT, JOB ENRICHMENT, FINANCIAL INCENTIVES, FRINGE BENEFITS, TEAM WORK, PEACE WORK, JOB ROTATION ETC.. the list goes on, there are 14. Now each one of these are effected by differences in the work place and employees, such as team work would not be effective if there was no team. I just done know what would effect them all, in form of differences of the organisation and people. I'll suss it out, if anyone has any ideas feel free to let me know. Thanks :o) x "Bloody college work!"

Job enlargement does not motivate although job enrichment does ie not more of the same but more variety. From my time doing such a course, financial incentives were not thought to motivate as payment takes a long time coming. Praise for a job well done is supposed to be a good motivator. Employee involvement in the decision making process is supposed to help as if they `own' the change they'll incorporate it into their work>
