Concepts of a Motivation When it comes to motivation you would expect that a supervisor be the last person to motivate you, but what if you had that one cool supervisor who did everything all wrong but made working so interesting to the point you looked forward to each shift. There are things most employee look for when it comes to a job, is it fun to be at work, can I enjoy working extended time with a supervisor always watching me, can I relate to him or her, will she fire me if I mess up, things like that run through your head especially when it is your first job. The text describes a motivation as anything that provides direction, intensity, or persistence to behavior.(McGraw-Hill Irwin pg333) I choose to interview a person I believe to hold and demonstrate motivation when I first got hired at the age of 15 years old at Arby’s restaurant in Auburndale as a cashier on drive thru and lobby. Sharon Coleman was the first person who gave me a job while I was in high school and I felt there wasn’t any person that displayed more motivation at work than she did to ensure we had a great time working for a fast food establishment. Sharon is someone who showed many qualities of a someone who you viewed as a motivator, she joked constantly with the employees and customers made it enjoyable to run a business at the same time showed professionalism when it came down to business. Many people think motivation as being someone who uplifts you but don’t realize you can always motivate people through rewards, encouragement on certain task, aiding when help is needed, the type of energy you bring to a workplace and many more. When you get the most out of your employees you see a difference in performance at work, satisfaction of coming to work, the balanced you have to ensure everyone is kept in line when it came down to it, and helped when needs where needed to be met.
