Human Resource Management
Assignment Task
An acquaintance of yours works for a company where she manages a group of IT staff who maintain existing systems and design new systems. Demand for their services is high within the company and there is constant pressure on them to complete projects. Your acquaintance wonders if they are as committed to the work as she would like them to be. Equally, there are many opportunities elsewhere for such staff. Recruiting new staff will be difficult if any of the existing staff leave. She knows that you are attending a HRM course and asks if you have any ideas on motivational theory that might help her to find a solution to this issue.
On the basis of your research, you are required to:
1. Identify and discuss relevant theories of motivation that your acquaintance might find useful in analysing this problem. (40 marks)
2. Evaluate the usefulness of the theories you have chosen as a guide to examining motivational problems of this kind. (30 marks)
3. Identify appropriate solutions that the manager could implement. Your answer should outline the strengths and limitations of those solutions.
(30 marks)
