When chris mittelstaedt says, "people like to be part of something bigger than themselves," what are the implications for employee motivation? why would an accounting firm spend money week after week for deliveries of fresh fruit for its employees? explain your answer in terms of the motivation concepts in this chapter. what other techniques would you suggest mittelstaedt use to motivate his employees, and why?

 Motivation is, quite objectively, the set of individual and contextual factors that determine the taking of a particular action. That is, it is what moves us to perform a certain task.

Unlike work motivation, organizational motivation is related much more to a business structure than to the employee itself. This is because it refers to the company's set of responsibilities to keep employee motivation high to generate good income.

This type of motivation is very important in the workplace, as an unmotivated professional produces less, earns less, and can even make his or her colleagues less productive, which can be extremely detrimental to the business.

Although not yet applied in part of large national and international companies, incentive strategies can greatly help in redesigning and optimizing work groups, bringing good results for managers, employees and the company at the same time.  

Recognizing employee efforts through feedback can have great answers

answer: cannibalism, the capac raymi, capacocha, the eight day feast, the combing of the hair

explanation:

the incas have many rituals, cannibalism was always a very ritual thing, which was normally tied to sacrifices, warfare, death, and regeneration.

  the capac raymi was one of the most important ceremonies. it occurred around the summer solstice and was when they worshiped their sun god, also known as inti.

  the capacocho was another one of their most important ceremonies. it was when many children where selected to start their training, and these children where destined to become sacrificial blessings to their sun god, inti. being chosen for this ritual was a blessing.

  the eight day feast was a feast that lasted 8 days and, each day, the day began with a chanting at dawn. a follow up song at noon. which ended with complete silence at the end of the day. on this day, inca royalty was always dressed in silver and gold laced clothing.

  the combing of the hair was the most important ritual to young girls. this ritual was known as the coming of age ceremony, but only the most beautiful girls where chosen. in this ceremony, the girls chose their new name and where chosen as either brides, or princesses of rulers.
