Description
Objectives
This course will enable participants to understand and use the concepts and approaches to developing and measuring motivation in work settings. We will critically evaluate the primary motivations and interventions designed to affect motivation at work. In doing so, we will use an evidence-based, critical approach. We will critically explore current models, methods and technologies for managing motivation inside the HRM process.
Every topic covered in the course will have an introductory theoretical immediately followed by a practical/concrete part where the participant will be asked to operationalise what learned into practice.
