CROWDSOURCING A
MORE STABLE ECONOMY
Magazine
and newspaper articles, op-ed columns, and even entire books are being written
in an effort to explain the causes of the recent global economic downturn. “How
did we not see it coming?” many ask. Being in the credit rating business, you
know that the signs were there; they were just missed by big name agencies like
Moody’s, which gave Lehman Brothers an A2 rating despite signs of a likely
default. What’s the problem in your industry? One problem might be groupthink:
There is not a lot of diversity or creativity in how algorithms are created
among the big agencies, so there is not a diversity of opinion. And, these
models are not available for public scrutiny. Another problem: large firms can
be slow to react to new information. What’s more, credit rating organizations
often take payment from the companies they evaluate—it’s legal, but it still
looks an awful lot like a conflict of interest.
You think you may have a solution—crowdsourcing—set
up a website where users can create their own algorithms to assess credit risk.
Your main goal is to get a clean, open store of financial data and make it
available for download. You might offer some examples and templates to get
contributors off to a start, but you want to encourage people to come up with
their own strategies. This will certainly provide a diversity of algorithms
that will be transparent and can be assessed on how well they actually perform.
Your problem: How can you motivate potential
users to contribute to this “ecosystem” without offering financial rewards?
Crowdsourcing has been growing in popularity un recent years, enabled by the
fact that people are motivated by other things besides cold, hard cash:
recognition, respect, satisfaction at having accomplished something and
contributed to a greater goal, the opportunity to express themselves and build
a personal brand. You know you will have to invest in creating a base—giving
contributors access to the financial data they need will be a good start—and a
message that will bring potential contributors on board. But beyond that, what
can you do? Some organizations, like those who post challenges in need of
solutions on InnoCentive.com, can offer cash prizes for the person who comes up
with the best solution. Others create online games or contests to offer
incentive, create competition, and make it fun. You know you’ve got a powerful
message that can tap into this set of powerful internal motivations: We can
work together to create a more stable economy. Now you just have to create a
strategy for doing it.

I would first, create a crowd source to gain a unify source of free lancers ( information givers) to gather ideas, opinions, and thoughts to gain possible information to gain a group of people. Second, create a platform in the web to give the group an opportunity to express thoughts, ideas, and opinions on many topics such as: social movements, war, politics, and market, and management movements. This is important because the information that is being provided can develop benefits and incentives that will create a group that can be managed. Therefore,create a crowd with different cultures, religions, ages, and social trend. Nevertheless, it is important to have people of different cultures in a group because, it will provide different points of views that generically will have the crowd source improve and expand. Business strategy, asserts that,"Crowdsourcing means involving a lot of people in small pieces of a project. In educational and nonprofit outreach, crowdsourcing is a form of engagement, such as participating in an online course, collecting photos of butterflies for a citizen-science project, uploading old photos for a community history project, deciphering sentences from old scanned manuscripts, playing protein folding games to help scientists discover new ways to fight diseases, or participating in online discussions." Motivation in crowd sourcing can be difficult in many ways because the group can be made up of different cultures that have different perspective in many social and business issues. As a top level manager, I would need together and create a strategic plan to expand a outsource by providing benefits and incentives that will keep my group in shape and expand. Althought, it takes time to see improvement, collaboration can be a key to success, while having competitions to gather more people to join our crowd source by having an incentive up for grabs. Finally, in order to complete the goal, the top level manager must follow the plan of strategy that was made in order to expand the crowd source and following the proper procedures to keep members happy with incentives and benefits.
ReplyDeleteJesus Alejandro Solis Zavala 1648856
I agree with your opinion because I think that is a very good idea that the company takes into account the views of employees from different cultures, and they all think differently and can bring something new to the company, and according to your publication of unite the ideas and the views of the company employees can make improvements, but it is not necessary to involve all employees at the same time can be by department. So department by department and gives his ideas and then the manager categorize the ideas that can help the company.
DeleteI agree with your point of view because you already know what is the problem that is hurting our economy Now your project has a lot of diversity of ideas because you have people from different cultures that can help you to know how the other people think, also is a good idea having people from around the world because they know how well their economy is, they can tell how they manage their own economy with this information you know how to solve the economic problem
DeleteI like your point of view, beacause as a good top manager you are considering others perspectives, by creating the platform in the web is an intelligent way to obtain people's verdict on the different topics you want to attend; is an excellent way to motivate people to exprese themselves and also you have opinions to create a better strategic plan.
DeleteI totally agree with your point of view Jesus. I think is very important to consider the solution of some problems from people outside the company, and also from different cultures because they could know how to manage some situation just because they have passed trough it in some way, as you said. We have to open our mind to he opinions and ideas of people from around the world.

ReplyDeleteThe best form of motivation according to my opinion is the recognition for having achieved something great and because of that they will form a respect for the general public, but I think that also should be combined with some kind of incentive. Nowadays, the world is wrapped around money, and there are many intelligent minds that lack of money that could put all your creativity and make a good project.
ReplyDeleteAccording McQuaig "Money is an important motivator if delivered in exchange for some extra effort, but money does not buy all the needs." I really agree with this opinion, as there are other needs besides the money, you know what people want to give it. In this case I would do a type of survey through various sources, to really know what is going to motivate people and according to this, to know what I can give.
I think some of the incentives that could offer would be: a lot of cash, another option could be appliances, electronic devices or could extend to something bigger as a residence, late model cars, or just a trip to throughout the world.
I think this should of view according to the age of each of the members and the preferences of each, here I return to the point that you have to know what people want to know how to motivate and in the same way make a more productive and efficient work.
Finally, I must make clear my point of view, I think that recognition is a great reward because this at the end of the day leaves its mark in the world, and as an incentive would be another key part of the motivation for further work in a comfortably in the project.

I agree with your point of view: the fact that an employee is recognized for its merits drives and motivates the employee to go on in their work, and to continue innovating his career.
DeleteBut it is better that employees can be rewarded for their actions, either with money, benefits, electronic gadgets, travel, or maybe something that the employee can use it with your family and so the employee will feel motivated to do the work well and the company gratify not only the employee , also his family too.
I really like your idea of first knowing what people like and want in order to take motivational action with them. That way we can be sure our efforts will work out as we expect them to. Also, I agree that recognition is what allows us to leave something in this world after we die so it is a great motivational incentive for people all aroud the world.
DeleteFrancisco Alejandro González Peña. 1568304
I agree with the idea of asking employees what they want, so they can be motivated and rewarded with what they want, and your idea of offering them things instead of money sounds good, and may have some or maybe few advantages to the company, but even though an employee will receive a residence or a new car, they will be lend and not given, making the company the owner of this benefits and making the employee not very happy in a long term, making it better for him to choose de money, because no matter how many residences or electronic devices the employee is offered they will always have the need to own their own house or to have their own car.
DeleteGerardo de Jesus Riveroll Rivera #1527316
In my opinion the best form of motivation can be first in the economic and the money can be a good motivation for employees or customers to provide feedback good or bad for the company and so the company can improve.
ReplyDeleteAnd secondly I would propose another incentive for I think the best motivation for an employee to engage in the actions and goals of the company.
The company provide incentives and these are appropriate for each employee, as everyone is different and everyone has different needs and looking for opportunities to improve in different aspects. Or it could also be appropriate incentive as an example of his work was some benefit for your family and not specifically money can be scholarships for their children, life insurance, vacation, travel, etc.. And with that the employees will feel motivated to achieve some benefit for his family and the company.
Like for example what the author tells us Ramon E. Ynfante T. "Incentives focus employee efforts on specific performance goals. Provide real motivation that produces important benefits for employee and organization." If the company placed incentives accessible by employees in exchange for their efforts and contributions either by written or the web, it could benefit the employee as well as the company.
Another option I would consider would be that the company properly prepare meetings for employees from different departments and in turn get to know employees and managers to know so they can meet the needs of employees and enhance the environment to work.
And if the workers are motivated and comfortable in their working environment, with the freedom to express opinions and that will be heard.

I agree with you in the fact that the first motivational incentive, and could be maybe the most effective one, is money. Most of the people will do many times better a job if more money is offered to them. I also like your idea of giving incentives for each employee because all of them are different and do not share the same ideas.
DeleteI agree with you, it's a very good idea give incentives for the family not only for the employee. I think that it's very motivational for a employee, see your family in a vacation that you won because you work hard and gave the best.
DeleteAnd of course the employee must be more motivated if the company listen he's ideas and give him freedom to express opinions.
I agree with you, when you say that you employees should receive economic incentives they may also receive other benefits such as life insurance or scholarships for their families, at the end, this benefits are translated into money and, this is what an employee is searching.
DeleteGerardo de Jesus Riveroll Rivera #1527316
I agree with Karla, motivation that involves money and other benefits that will have an impact on employees personal and professional life's that will produce everlasting changes in a company. If the crowd sourcing company has happy employees it will lead to a world of success and many markets that involve pay and non profit organisation, that are in the inner circle of demographics and goal setting to make changes that will benefit the company.Ramon E. Ynfante T. Asserts that,"Incentives focus employee efforts on specific performance goals. Provide real motivation that produces important benefits for employee and Organization". This is important because a top level manager will need to become a leader that will help an employee find his flaws and mistake and give them positive feedback to let them know how the issue can be fix. Finally that is important because it helps the company grow nationally and gives the opportunity to earn incentives.
DeleteJesus Alejandro Solis Zavala 1648856
Well I think that first of all we should avoid the groupthink, because it’s a way of making a person not capable of given their opinions. The leader should leave aside the domination of the group or allowed the other individuals to do it. And yes, I disagree with Jesus which he mentions “that he would gather more people to join the crowd source” that it’s a good idea but he doesn't mention that it’s better to classified it by department like Karla says, because not everybody has the same way of thinking regarding to its knowledge and point of views as in result of their culture.
ReplyDeleteMotivation plays an important role here, because if we stop and think what motivate us to do things is to win extra benefits, maybe for our families or ourselves. Besides money, like in Andrea’s quote says, that the money can encourage someone one to make an extra effort. It’s a good, good idea of giving as an incentive for example like appliances, electronic devices, a vacation, and maybe empowerment within the company. We should arrange the incentives according to the employee contribution by the three or five best ideas rather than just giving only one incentive because that would make him feel like impossible for them to win something. Also this motivates the personnel to want and have in mind the importance of the company’s goals and objectives that they seek to accomplish, influencing in the performance of their job day after day.
Armando Cazares Lopez - 1546857
i like your way to think but sometime the people that gave ideas are not loking for money just they want to be heard and to be part of the solution. its a good idea to give them incentive sometimes but if you are giving them incentive all the time that they have a a good idea, my question is what are they doing to be better workers or people?
DeleteActually that point is true, I hadn't realized before. Employees aren't always looking for money, they just want to feel themselves important to the company, to
Deletecontribute and be part of a solution like you said. That's a good question. They make an effort to give their best and be recognized, but like I said before, not all the employees think the same, and the only way is through motivation,and money is the most common in this cases. Also we should try not to make their work routinary, that might help in creating a more comfortable place to work.
I agree with you and my patners, we know the role that motivation plays inside an enterprices, and we know everything that a worker might do for extra benefits inside of a company, as Garcia said the also want to be part of the solution, and presonally, I would tell you that if we put each month the goal that a company want to have ready in their company that would motivate to emplyees to work easier.
DeleteI disagree with armando cases because a groupthink with people it's important because, a development of ideas will be flowing among the participants to come up with solutions that ultimately can be used to solved a problem. The more ideas that are gather the better to pick from an alternative and lastly implementing the solution to find out a way to benefit the company. Nevertheless, if we have departments in a company the ideas will be flowing among each department but ultimately when change occurs the managers will have to provide ideas that will be coming from each of the departments, other wise it will become a groupthink and brainstorm to come up with solutions. Although, money is an important factor in a company because it provides wages, promotions, and incentives for the employees and motivate them to keep on working had and give them positives and negative feedback to find problem solving to their flaws and mistakes as well as recognition for their performance. Ultimately, the recognition of their performance is important because the employees well feel part of the company, enterprise which gives them motivation to keep working hard and contribute their ideas and opinions to keep on expanding nationally or international markets..
DeleteJesus Alejandro Solis Zavala 1648856
I don't know if you have a clear image of what groupthink means, because what you put is totally the opposite. Groupthink won't let ideas flow and theres always a leader. So, I recommend you to seek for more info, Jesus :D
DeleteI think the combination of expressing yourself and the recognition of other people would work better for this situation. People are generally motivated by others recognizing what they do, but there's also the kind of people that don't care about being recognized, but about saying what they think, so I think this combination may cover most of the people. About the special incentives, I would give potential contributors maybe a trip to a very nice place, or new technologic devices. Also I think they can be given a special course on something. We must always remember that motivation is of vital importance, because it is the fuel that allows great ideas to flow. A group of well-motivated people can really make a difference. Also, motivation leads to other very special skills, such as creativity or innovation. A very important thing that must not be forgotten is to let all the people know that there's a free space for them to express themselves. They must know they can say what they feel, so that good ideas may be posted, because many times people is afraid of being judged or being wrong and a great idea may be hidden within a shy person's mind. I have always personally agreed with the idea that groupthink is bad for any kind of issue, because it makes all people be the same and a lot of fresh and great ideas are not heard.
ReplyDeleteFrancisco Alejandro González Peña. 1568304
I agree with you Alex in all the aspects I think that is not necessary to reward the employees just with money but yes with other kinds of things just as trips, or even courses that could help them, I think that another good idea and that is implemented in one enterprise I know is that the company gives to their employees rewards but by their family and their children they can give them scholarships or something that can be good for the education of the kids that in a future will bring them a benefit and with that kind of rewards you are making your employees always be better and performing the best they can to achieve the goals of the company. And yes the group thinking is not a good way to implement in a big company when it is trying to be better because, some of the employees can have an idea but they are to shy to say it so they choose the idea that other employee has to no be in troubles, so I don’t like group thinking.

DeleteFatima i think that your point of view in benefits to motivate employees are good, but everyone knows that when an employee is working good, the employee most be rewarded with benefits that can benefit their families, that's way workers in companies are always performing and inovating new kind of ideas with different ways of work, as employee a person always want to be better, now Im talking about competition, i think that this can be a good way to be motivated, when you see a patner working better than you, you see all the benefits that your patner has, you want to be like him/her or you want to be even better.
DeleteI agree with you, when you are saying that groupthink it is not a good way of work, we have an example here, the teacher use a blog so this way we can work better, we can give more ideas that we give in calss, people that are too shy in the classroom can sorprise us, we can know them better here, obviusly because they may express themselves better

DeleteFrancisco I agree with you in many acpects. First, it´s very true that the motivation it's very important because help the people to be more creative in their ideas, and they need this space that make them and feel comfortable to express all the ideas.
DeleteAnd I agree with you too in the aspect of groupthink because the fresh ideas maybe can't listen at all.
I think that not necessarily the people work or innovate for gain and obtain more rewards, is because they need the money to live and because they like what they do, so I think that if an employee gives all of himself in the work is because that is the way he do it, so this kind of persons are the ones that makes other employees to give a better performance and obtain the needs they want, and accomplish the goals of the company. And I agree and I like the example you gave of the blog and yes, it was a great idea to make this, because we can discuss and have different opinions of the different topics we are seeing, and absolutely this is not group thinking because, everyone is expressing herself and posting different opinions, so here everyone is open minded!
DeleteFátima A. Dragustinovis López 1545768
Alex, I'm agree in a lot of things with you but, specially with the part when you said that it's so important that the employees know that they can share what they think and going to be listened in that space
DeleteWell yes, we have to keep in mind that in most cases a great idea comes from a shy person. Which we can find a solution for that. For example, how about putting like a ballot box for opinions or make a website for them to express themselves like it's mention before. That could be another alternative.
ReplyDeleteI think the "special course" you mention is a great idea, because it benefits the company as well as the employees in their professional development
- Armando Cazares Lopez 1546857
1) I think that in this case the best two theories that could work are first the Maslow´s Need Hierarchy that is the best-known and the second could be the Alderfer´s RG Theory, I choose these both because they have something in common the first one divided in levels, for the necessity in which is the Physiological, then the safety, then social, then Ego and finally Self-actualization these are the levels why the people buys; and the second theory is about the existence that are the materials and all the physiological desires, then the relatedness related with needs in where the relationships and the people are involves and the last one is growth that is about motivate and change creatively themselves. Depending on these both theories the people will choose the best reward for asking for the must important thing that are the needs they have, when they make something good in their job.
ReplyDelete2) I think that the incentives that I would use to motivate my employees would be giving them empowerment by enhancing their confidence and their beliefs to perform a better job and influence in the organization, and also by offer them psychological contract and adequate compensations such as vacations, money or health services and a free social environment.

I agree with you Fatime because if we motivate employees for giving them empowerment, they are going to feel being able to make choices and participate on a more responsible level, and employees become more interested in their company.

ReplyDeleteWell what i think we shall do first is remove groupthink from our ways of work,we most know that for people now days is that they want to express all their ideas to change a bad situation, what they want to take in consideration, or the most improtant idea its the benefits that they would have if their ideas are going to help the problem that the enterprice has, but not only the money is going to motivate the employees to work better, they are trying to be better that some others patners insde of the company, even some workers are looking for a better reputation in the company making themselves work hard and get better results in their jobs. The teamwork now days is not the way of work in some offices, as I said workers want to get to the top level as managers but depending by themselves, the needs now days are more, the economic is getting hard everyday which make us study or work more and more. We know that people are finding workers to implement their ideas in different areas in the enterprice, people who may have one more lenguage or some other skills.
ReplyDeleteI would give a plan of work made by ideas that the own employees has, giving benefits to best ideas that a person would propurse, having in mind that the benefits should be well as the work of the employees can performance, that way employees can be motivated knowing that if they result might be excellent the reward will be even better to them.
Jun Antonio Ramos Nuñez 1492388
Yeah! i agree with you because companies have to avoid the groupthink, if someone is disagree, he or she must talk about it, although humans always are seeking approval from one another. Group members should always respect one another and avoid personal criticism. I agree with you when you say that not only the money is going to motivate the employees because it is more than this, they have to feel they are important to the company to work better and obtain better results.
DeleteJaqueline Guadalupe Mansur Valdez ID:1557772
I think having motivational strategies is essential for employees to get involved. Although the company doesn’t have the enough financial rewards to motivate personal, there are more ways to motivate employees. To me, the best theories to motivate people are the recognition and the opportunity to express themselves and build a personal brand. The recognition because if we are constantly highlighting their efforts and capabilities, they are going to feel more self-confidence and going to work better day-to-day. We as humans always want to be recognized for a work well-done. So they will make more efforts because they are going to feel committed to give the best. The theory of give them the opportunity to express themselves and build a personal brand is very important because they are going to feel confidence and don´t going to be scared of talk if something bothers them, so they can work in a better environment that permits them a moral commitment to make a good work. It will make feel them a greater freedom to be creative in their methods of work and we will obtain better results.
ReplyDeleteThe incentives I would use are: giving to my workers really important responsibilities and those new tasks will be considered as a challenge that can be taken as commitments for better benefits in the future. Also I would give vacations or health programs, provide education services for adults who do not have elementary education degree. In conclusion, a team work in which its members are motivated performs a better work.

ReplyDeleteI think that companies must give financial rewards to employees, because it will make them comfortable and it is the motivation of their work, the money, the remuneration, most of the time people develops well in the office or in the work because they want a raise on their salaries, I have seen people that hate what they do, but they stay there just because the salaries are good or they can’t get a better job. On the other side a lot of people work and develops the way they are supposed because of love to their jobs and what they do, but no one will reject a few extra dollars in its pay-check. Giving financial rewards to employees will not only motivate them to work better, it will also leave a message to the employees, which they are not only part of the company, but also they have been heard. I think it may have some psychological basis, but people love this, to be heard, to not be left behind, they want to be part of the environment they are working/living in, so listening to a bunch of employees will help them to their self-esteem and in the end, the will develop better because they will feel important and, not just another guy more from the accounting department. By doing this financial reward an employee will be happy with its situation in the company, because it will receive two of the most important things that an employee wants, money and to be heard. The company will get some benefits, for example, happy employees; new fresh ideas that came from the employees and most importantly you will have a motivated employee, and with this situation production may be affected on a positive way.
ReplyDeleteGerardo de Jesus Riveroll Rivera #1527316
I agree with you Gerardo, because if we heard employees, they feel more comfortable and on union with the business, so the company have a good environment, I just want to say you that your employees need a words of encouragement because if you say something positive to your employees they feel more motivated.
DeleteSamantha Alejandra Salazar Gamez ID: 1562757
In my opinion to be able to motivate the persons, it is necessary a certain balance of all the factors that people want with them, they could feel satisfied and with desires to continue with their work. In other way, what I will comment on, maybe sound very simple, common or even if you want a comment from a newbie, but well it is my own opinion. Well I think that everyone, in this world are different, no one are equal, maybe some people are similar or with similar goals, dreams or want the same in the future but they never were or will be equal. For that reason we can conclude that in any type of group not always in a project or on a business exist people that think like you or have similar ideas or knowledge, and let me say that in my opinion I think that it is the best way that a manager can will take, because if in a business are people with different ideas, experiences, ideologiesetc. they going to achieve a goal with objectivity and efficiency. For those reasons, it is not possible to give them the same type of motivation, in addition to give incentives and extra money for overtime, managers will give you the confidence to participate in decision making, and you feel a motivation to have another position or responsibility in your job, it can be with words of encouragement, and finally the leader of certain group can create a challenge with employees, in which your knowledge it only that you need, so for that reason they will feel motivated to compete, and obviously who win this one going to have a reward. Finally the way that managers can take to solve the problem of the text is implementing crowdsourcing and involved people with different knowledge, ideas, etc.
ReplyDeleteSamantha Alejandra Salazar Gamez ID: 1562757
I agree with you Samantha, I think is a good option to make the employees participate in some decisions, because they are going to feel more part of the company, and not just a simple employee and that will make them feel more motivated to find some solutions to some problems. Is also important to not just focus on the people that work there,because maybe you could get a faster solution from someone outside.
DeleteLiliana Garcia Salinas 1549690

DeleteJuana Ilean Pérez Lara 1560982
consider crowdsourcing a good way to find solutions to many problems in a company, because sometimes we close our mind thinking that only the people that take part of our business could solve it, and that is not the best option to choose. In many parts of the world people could find a solution for an answer just because they can relate the issue to an event that they lived, like in the movie “Slumdog millionaire”. The movie refers to a boy that knows all the answers of the questions that a person ask there, and in that contest many people participate but they didn’t win because the movie in some way explains us that it doesn’t matter the religion, gender, sex, or any other difference between people, cause at the final the boy won just because he passed trough many events that made him know all the answers, and he didn’t even finish the elementary school. This is what crowdsourcing is about, not just focus on some type of people to solve something, you have to open to many other solutions of anyone.
ReplyDeleteIf I were in charge of the website, I would implement some incentives like an opportunity to have a job in the company if is a great solution to a big or a constant problem there, so many people will want to enter to the website and try to give their best option to reach an opportunity of work in the company instead of just give them some money, but it also be a good option.

I agree with lily said, it is very important to implement crowdsourcing in any company or business,because any problem in a business can solve better, with different perspectives of different types of people guess that if we implement it ,we can solve problems in efficient way.
ReplyDeleteI think that for motivate the people we should have a balance with all the theories but, in my opinion are two that can help us more than the others, 1st, the recognition because almost all the people want be recognized for good things and help with this can give that recognition and 2nd, express themselves because if the company take that idea the person who create it will feel part of that and part of the company.
ReplyDeleteThe rewards that I could offer will be that, if the company implemented that idea, the responsible for create it will be part of the procedure and will be recognized. Also with little rewards like travels all include or thinks for their family like scholarships.

1. I think the role of the employees here is really important, and not only here, in every company it's important that your employees are involved in the desitions your makin, maybe they will not make the desition for you (of course) but their opinion could actually help to make a good desition. In my point of view, the employees need to be involved in this kind of desitions because they are the ones that are making your product, service or what ever your company offers happening, the comfort of the employees is always important because one way or another it is always going to afect your company.
ReplyDelete2. I don't think I'd do that because, well maybe my emoloyees will feel better with it because thay wouldn't have to worry about traffic and arriving to the office early but, for me as a company it could affect me if my employees don't get adapted soon it could affect me, so I think I'd stay the same way.
3.If my bussines starts growing I would primarly start looking for bigger places to develop my product/service, so my employees would feel more comftarble doing their job and in that way their development will affect my company in a good way.

In my opinion crowdsourcing is an excellent choice to know the
ReplyDeletepersuasion not only of the employees but also from external people, if we create a web page people can freely express and discuss their views with all the possible respect. Thinking on companies that want to implement this is a great idea and if they can reward people or employees like InnoCentive.com that "can offer cash prizes for the person who comes up with the best solution", or we can give the opportunity to the winner person to work on the company; given reguards to people helps them to motivate.

I think that for motivate the people we should have a balance with all the theories but, in my opinion are two that can help us more than the others, 1st, the recognition because almost all the people want be recognized for good things and for the work, the fact of that their work be recognized, this is a god motivation because it’s make feel good to the people and make the feel important, and this motivate them a lot, and is one of the best way to motivate the people, and help with this can give that recognition and 2nd, express themselves because if the company take that idea the person who create it will feel part of that and part of the company. This is like the previous idea, if you let them express themselves you let them feel part of the company, you give the confidence, which in my opinion is so important to make the people get motivated an do a great job, that’s why you have to consider many of the time the ideas of the people.
ReplyDeleteThe rewards that I could offer will be that, if the company implemented that idea, the responsible for create it will be part of the procedure and will be recognized, this could make that the person that had that idea could have more great ideas, and the recognized him, and this will make him to feel part of the organization, what it’s going to make him have greatful ideas for the company, and this benefits the company, so the company get good ideas and the person get recognized or also a promotion if his ideas are beneficent for the company. Also with little rewards like travels all include or thinks for their family like scholarships.
