Hey there, your page is looking great. I was wondering if its okay for me to add to my also see section? Trinand 11:28, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

Hey, I love your page! Not sure what you originally had with the referencing formatting and what you changed, but I capitalised the journal titles (not the article titles) going by Burton I think that's right. I think the volume numbers are supposed to be in italics too, but I left them alone. Part of my topic is about students' ideas about the fairness of all this formatting stuff - it's a pain for a lot of people, me included! Yapp84 21:48, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

A really interesting topic as I used to work in this area as a motivator - At one company, the staff did particularly well for the month - I gave the entire staff an all expenses paid weekend at the Gold Coast with their partners - limos, 5 star - the lot - everyone went "Yahoo" except one girl who threw the voucher on the floor and flounced off to her office - apparently she resented the fact that her work made a lot of money but she only got a lousy weekend in a 5 star hotel. In this case, no motivatation will do the trick and you have to get rid of them as their attitude creates bad blood. Another interesting topic at a later date would be 'When Motivation Does Not Work'. You have done well - congratulations - Magnolia

Overall Overall comments This chapter lays out applicable theories, provides a persuasive argument on why work motivation is important, and then integrates research with theory, leading into advice/ tips on how it can be enhanced. I particularly like the argument that work motivation is dynamic and contextual, which shows an understanding of the multidimensional and functional nature of motivation. Theory Theory comments The problem statement is clear and engaging. Good critical analysis of theories and their limitations in understanding all aspects of work-related behaviour. Demonstrates knowledge of multiple theories in motivation and emotion, however, sometimes reads like a list of applicable concepts. Research Research comments Great to see inclusion of a meta-analysis! Discussion of this could be strengthened by including effect size. An impressive breadth of research was discussed but might benefit from further use of subheadings around needs, traits, values, cognition and affect, to help readers follow the content. Written expression Written expression comments Well done uploading your own image and including multiple relevant multimedia links! The chapter demonstrates mastery of the ability to insert wiki images to facilitate understanding of concepts; however, these would be improved with explanatory captions. A few minor errors were evident in text. Try to avoid sentence fragments and proofread for typos (e.g., “Whereas a thriving organisation is the result of a thriving workforce.”; “Therefore that these factors are focused on to enhance work motivation”; “‘which is estimate to reduce”; “high regulated”; Is “retaining the mind” meant to be retraining?). The summary provides powerful take-home messages consistent with the self-help focus of the chapter.
