Q14 Scenario: Theories of motivation

Ben is one of the engineers: in his late twenties, married with two young children, and studying computer programming part-time. Anne is a book-keeper: 50 years old, widowed and living alone, she had several years’ book-keeping experience with a larger company before leaving work to raise children.
You are mentor to one of the staff managers, Brigitte Bosch. She has recently attended a seminar on motivational theory and has come to ask your help. ‘I wanted to know how to motivate people like Anne and Ben, and I’ve been asked to revaluate our reward system,’ she says, ‘but what with ‘content’ and ‘process’ and ‘X’ and ‘Y’, I was just confused. The only theory I found easy to grasp was the hierarchy of needs: perhaps I can use that?
