As a motivational psychology professional, you will be required to analyze the impact of self-efficacy on job satisfaction. This includes the analysis of the workplace, employees, and their performance on the job.
In your role as a professional, you need to be prepared to conduct analyses that impact various aspects of employee motivation and prepare recommendation proposals.
In this assignment, you will prepare an executive summary of a proposal. This is an overview of your proposal and provides enough information so that your audience can make a final decision about your recommendation, without needing to read an entire proposal.
Imagine you are a human resources consultant for a consumer products company. After meeting with numerous departments, you have determined that issues with employee self-efficacy are hindering job satisfaction. You believe there is a need for improvement in current workplace training, as well as a need to increase professional development practices.
Prepare a 1,050- to 1,400-word executive summary action plan for the VP of human resources of your client company.
