essay 5 - what motivates me

What motivates me? What motivates me? Lac Khai, Sam TEC 430 001 SP2021 - PROJECT LEADERSHIP Illinois State University WHAT MOTIVATES ME? WHAT MOTIVATES ME? People are motivated to accomplish some tasks by many different factors Each person is driven by various influences to complete what they dream of achieving For this paper, I will discuss what motivates me the most to meet what I need and set out to The main factors that are involved are the desire for achieving greatness, the satisfaction of completing projects, and enjoyment There are many theories of motivation; however, one of them which most interests me is Taylorism theory According to Frederick Winslow Taylor an American mechanical engineer is known as the father of Scientific Management and the efficiency movement – believed that employees were only motivated by pay and money By reading some of the articles on the internet about this point of view, I found that workers not usually enjoy work, so employees need to be monitored and controlled closely As well as this is also the idea, in which Taylor fundamentally believed that employees had a natural tendency called natural soldiering to take it easy of slack off when they could One of the examples for this is the scandal of Amazon’s warehouse center - the company’s newly patented wristband – gives it the ability to track and record employees’ hands in real-time; however, the company just pay certain staff in the warehouse using a piece-rate basis according to how productive they are Therefore, it can be seen that Taylorism may be old-fashioned, it is actually in use these days Remaining competitive in a labor-intensive industry by keeping costs as low as possible WHAT MOTIVATES ME? is the key idea of this method In my own experience, the relationship between working hours and cost is the most important principle as well as it is the most important thing that motivates me in the last few years The point I am making will be explained in the table that follows, Time 2012 Job Tittle, Working Hours, and Description Pharmacist in local drugstore The Approximately Rate (USD/hour) $0.3/hour fixed I receive $100 /month, I had to work in the drugstore 10 hours every day as given schedule My task was just simply selling medicine for patients 2013 2014 Sales Representation for a pharmaceutical company $0.6/hour fixed I received $200/month, but I didn't have to go to work at the stated time, the company will pay me by the result at the end of the month However, I was given the task that I had to introduce a new product and enlarge the market for it That's why I had to roam around the cities from morning to evening (around 10hours/day) 2017 2018 Since 2020 until now Examiner in a construction company $1.4/hour fixed I was paid $230 / month at this time; my duty is quite simple - checking the inputs and outputs of the project I just needed to finish the task on time, so I sometimes worked at home on the computer (working time = around 40 hours/week) General Assistant in an English center I was paid at least $300/month As a general assistant, my mission is to keep everything in place; however, some of those $3.75 /hour fixed (plus extra for driving, proctoring, business WHAT MOTIVATES ME? tasks don't cost me lots of time to finish, and I also earn extra by proctoring a few classes in a week (working hour = appropriately 20 hours /week) meetings) As a result, I generally stick to the company that paid me a higher rate than others if I have enough ability to be chosen and have to leave the workplace paying me unacceptably cheap In my own opinion, understanding the value of the employee is very important to decrease the percentage of changing worker It is a fact that I apply all my knowledge in pharmacy to get the best treatment for the drug buyers, but what I received is not as much as I did And for the job in the English center, even though I have many tasks to finish, I always find the best method to deal with those things in order to create the best flow for the school; even though I rarely stay in the office for a day, I can assure that everything in place Therefore, the owner is always surprised by my working style With that said, I believe that the pay rate could be managed in various ways based on how much understanding the employer has, and how risky he/she is And the most important thing is that the result of the worker's value affects the company's growth as it directly motivates employees including me To briefly recapitulate, an appropriate salary is obviously, the most important feature that could help to motivate employees in any field of working market as well as in my own opinion The wish of completing greatness, the pleasure of finishing missions and joys are some clearly meaningful results that highlight the win-win situation between employees WHAT MOTIVATES ME? and employers when employees are worthy of paid as their contributions to the company .. .WHAT MOTIVATES ME?
