Motivation and Organizational Culture
There is an important management role that should in place in workplace psychology. In this paper, I will be discussing a situation with Japanese immigrant by the name of Ayame. Ayame is employed as a project manager for a pharmaceutical company. The management style for this pharmaceutical company is confrontational, and interferes with Ayame’s cultural beliefs. This particular style of management makes Ayame’s ability to receive feedback difficult to recieve, and affects her motivation to perform. In this discussion I will explain the role management Ayame should play in workplace psychology, how Ayame’s cultural beliefs might affect the way she receives feedback, and describe motivation techniques that could be implemented by management to increase Ayame’s motivation.
Psychology is the study of human behavior. Included in this, are the human thought process and human emotion. Psychology helps us in the understanding of human nature and how we interact with other people. When you combine psychology and the workplace together, it is basically the way an individual thinks and act in the workplace towards other employees. Management is an individual who supervises others work progress on the job. Management is usually over an entire department or facility, which gives them the role of superiority in the workplace. With a role as such in the workplace, a strong trait to have to is the ability to motivate an individual on the job and have the proper tools to do so. (www.mcgraw-hill.co.uk)
Management has certain expectations and views of the employees they supervise. These views not only affect the employee’s performance but the way they view management as well. Management wants their employees to view them as an individual who is fair, and understanding. They also have certain expectations of how the employee should be
