I agree with your point that ignoring individual differences is a major weakness of the theory. you could expand your examples to include things like personality and how that affects workplace motivation. - U3156463 (discusscontribs) 07:02, 31 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

Heading casing

[edit source]
FYI, the convention on Wikiversity is for lower-cased headings (or sentence casing). For example, use:

==Cats and dogs==

rather than

==Cats and Dogs==

Overall

[edit source]
  1. Overall, this is a solid chapter that explains psychological theory and research to help address a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem.
  2. For additional feedback, see comments below and these copyedits.
  1. The theory is reasonably well explained.
  2. The theory could be better explained by constructing some simple case studies to highlight the independent role of the two factors in worker dissatisfaction and satisfaction.
  3. Did you consult Maslow (1954)? If not, this should be a secondary citation.
  1. Relevant research is discussed in relation to theory.
  2. However, the indepth focus on several specific studies means that there was a lack of big picture review and synthesis of research literature about the two-factor theory. The individual studies did help to provide some examples.
  3. When describing important research findings, consider including the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship.
  4. Greater emphasis on major reviews and/or meta-analyses would be helpful.
  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is reasonably good.
    2. Some paragraphs are overly long. Each paragraph should communicate one key idea in three to five sentences.
  2. Layout
    1. The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections.
  3. Learning features
    1. See also - also link to past book chapters
    2. Excellent use of interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. ## No use of embedded links to related book chapters. Embedding interwiki links links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project.
    3. Basic use of images.
    4. Basic use of tables. A better structure for Table 1 would be a 2 x 2 structure, with one factor in the columns and one factor in the rows.
    5. Basic use of feature boxes.
    6. Good use of quizzes.
    7. Basic use of case studies or examples.
  4. Grammar
    1. Use serial commas[1] - it is part of APA style and generally recommended by grammaticists.
    2. Check and correct use of affect vs. effect.
    3. Abbreviations
      1. Abbreviations (such as e.g., i.e.., etc.) should only be used inside parentheses.
  5. Spelling
    1. Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesize vs. hypothesise; behavior vs. behaviour; fulfillment vs. fulfilment).
  6. Proofreading
    1. Remove double-spaces.
  7. APA style
    1. Numbers under 10 should be written in words (e.g., five); numbers 10 and over should be written in numerals (e.g., 10).
    2. Direct quotes need page numbers.
    3. Figures and tables
      1. Refer to each Table and Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1).
    4. Citations are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. (Sanjeev, Surya, 2016) -> (Sanjeev & Surya, 2016)
      2. Check and learn when/how to use et al.
      3. Use ampersand (&) inside brackets and "and" outside brackets.
    5. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation.
      2. Check and correct use of italicisation.
      3. Add full-stops and spaces between author initials.
      4. See new doi format.
  1. ~13 logged, useful, social contributions with direct links to evidence
