What You'll Learn

Why do we work? How can we set up desirable conditions, both for ourselves and in organizations, to foster performance while also flourishing with psychological well-being? Through HRM261 Work Motivation, students will analyse select well-evidenced theories of human motivation and how to apply them to real-world individuals, including themselves. By broadening this approach, these theories shape the key pillars for a motivating organisational culture. Furthermore, students will examine how motivation reliably differs across cultures, ages, and job classes to hone their sensitivities to diversity issues. In turn, students can contemplate how to implement an inclusive and cross-culturally collaborative environment that maximises the value of a diverse workforce to spark innovation. Finally, HRM261 tackles the issues of self-regulation, workaholism, recovery, and psychological well-being as emplaced in the modern culture of busyness prevalent in globalised countries
