Individual Essay – Organisational Behaviour:
Choose ONE question & write 1,500 words (+/- 150 words) – you may use any materials you wish to help & support you in this piece of work. Please remember to:
Answer the whole question.
Respect essay structuring conventions – just introduction, main body, conclusion. (NO bullet
points, sections, headers or numbering, executive summary, contents page, or appendices.)
Ensure you give a clear rationale for any points & recommendations you make. Think not
only ‘what’ but also ‘why’ & ‘so what’.
Apply & critique theories from our slides to build your analysis.
Bring in examples to illustrate & support your arguments.
Reference to innovative content (usual examples, &/or theories, concepts not on our slides)
for higher grades.
Have a clear & logical flow to your arguments.
Question 3 – Motivation in management:
Choose one manager/coach – this can be in paid, associative or voluntary work or sports.
Introduce them to the reader – reflect on how they manage & motivate their people.
– Here you must use at least one motivation theory to support your analysis.
Critically examine how effective their approach is in the specific context:
o What should they retain & why?
o How would you manage & motivate these people differently & why? Again, use at least one motivation theory to support your analysis.
