Essay Assignment – This individual essay is based on the material from this lesson’s reading,
“On the Folly of Rewarding A, While Hoping for B.”
First, explain Kerr’s main point in your own words. (For this purpose, do not quote directly from the article.)
1. Then describe a situation you’ve seen in your own work or personal life that illustrates Kerr’s main point and answer the following questions:
• What was the desired outcome or result?
• What was the actual outcome or result?
• Where did the reward system go wrong? Use a theory from the motivation module to explain what went wrong.
• How would you fix the problem you identified? (There should be a connection to the theories outlined in the motivation module.)
Please make sure this is your own personal experience.
And please make sure the behavior is actually a behavior and not an attitude, value, or perception. Also keep it to one behavior; avoid a cluster of behaviors.
PLEASE NOTE: I will e-mail 2 chapters needed to complete this assignment separately in an e-mail.
Chapter 5 – Motivating Behavior
Chapter 6 – Motivating Behavior with Work and Rewards.
