Contemporary issue How are zero hour contracts having an impact on issues with motivation within the workplace Word count Student ID 17015011 Introduction of the issue For the first part of this essay I will discuss the contemporary issue that managers face in the 21st century which is how motivation is having an impact within the workplace and for the second part I will reflect on myself personally on how I performed in the two tasks carried out in the seminar groups Motivation is defined as enthusiasm for doing something as stated by Cambridge dictionary they also define enthusiasm as a feeling of energetic interest in a particular subject or activity and an eagerness to be involved in it which I would say relates more to the younger workforce as when younger members get interested in something they commit one hundred percent to it as they don t have any other responsibilities compared to older people in the same work force so that is why I think enthusiasm is also defined as a subject or activity that interests you very much on the Cambridge dictionary as this would better suit older members of the work force which would impact how they are motivated in the workplace which also signifies that motivation specificity increases with age both tying with positive correlation meaning that with an increase in age there is also an increase in motivation which I think is down the responsivities they have as they get older such as putting a roof over their head and providing for their family which are needs that need to be satisfied from them working and having an income which meets their needs in life Literature which has been research to prove that people have needs is the theory by Maslow A H and the Hierarchy of needs theory
