Hello my dear fellow classmates,
Today we learned about the motivation at work and how to effectively motivate, hire and appraise employees. Like so many things in psychology, this really applied to my life. When i was interviewed to work at my job, i believe that my boss tried to ask me questions that would measure my strengths rather than just my experiences. However, i do think that he judged with his gut that i would be a great worker and not from testing me. For me, it is very important that I feel like i am appreciated and respected at mt job. I want to be appraised and feel like i am doing something to contribute; this will cause me to be motivated and want to perform well. Of course it is important to be critiqued, which does happen, but it should be done respectfully and not too often. I also feel that i can have a good time with my boss, yet i have the utmost respect for him which i think is an important aspect that must exist in the workforce. All the different ways in order to motivate employees truly exist in my job in one way or another and im glad that i now understand how effective that is.

This shows an exact proof of the idea that praising and focusing on the good things done in a job. I think it is also really imporant and making someone feel confortable is always important therefore they have to social manangers!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you and Sharon! This is a very good point, and you are also lucky that you can have this positive experience as a teenager so that you will know what to expect as an adult in the real work force. It's nice to see that you are able to get along with your boss because that definitely makes it easier to do a good job on a daily basis, and will help motivate you in your job!
ReplyDeleteCarmit- I really look up to you because you are a working teenager! Not only do you have work at the Holy Cow but you have homework as well. I also think it is so cool how much your boss loves and appreciates you. When I come to Holy Cow I can see that he has a great relationship with all of his employees but also knows how to run a tight ship. This balance is very important in running a business. When the employees aren't aren't happy the customers can feel the tension and that makes shopping there less enjoyable.
