Assignment #7 Motivation Theory
You are the Manager of the Outpatient Evaluation and Care Unit of Rockwood Memorial Hospital. Using Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs (see page 618 to 621 of textbook and the PowerPoint) evaluate each of the following situations by considering the following:
• What level of need does each situation belong when considering Maslow’s Hierarchy in terms of employee motivation and effective workplace environment? Explain your reasons for assigning the level of Maslow Hierarchy.
• Since you cannot handle all the issue at once, rank the 3 scenarios based on the order that you will address the problem. In other words, which scenario will you approach first, second and third based on Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs? Explain the rationale for you decision.
• Remember that this is about what is MOST important in motivation of only your employees! Not what is the easiest or quickest!

Scenario #2
Memo
To: YOU
From: Larry Adams, patient admission clerk
Last week my former supervisor became violently mad at me. He lost his head and blew up at me for being late to work. I realize that I can’t be on time all of the time because I live twenty miles from the hospital, but he made a scene of the whole thing in front of all the staff and patients. I was very hurt and don’t know what to do.

Scenario #3
Memo
To: You
From: J Franklin, Shift Supervisor
Many employees have complained to me about this policy that we received:
ALL EMPLOYEES IN THE OUTPATIENT EVALUATION AND CARE UNIT WHO REQUEST OVERTIME DUTIES WILL NOT BE REIMBURSED FOR TIME AND ONE-HALF!
What shall we do about this?
