Week 1b Discussion Why Do People Work

Q Is it all about money? Please watch this TedTalk about reasons people are motivated to work (Links to an external site.). How does Professor Ariely's results relate to the discussion of values and attitudes in Chapter 2? What are the implications for being a good manager? For your initial post, you should write 150-250 words. This is formal business writing, so grammar, spelling and organization count. I am looking for you to demonstrate your knowledge of both the video and the chapter material. Make your initial post as a reply to this post so that we have one thread per week. For your two replies, please write 50-100 words. Here, say something more than just "nice comment," try to build on or refute your classmates with evidence and reasons. If you agree with your classmate, explain why, point to what your classmate said that is right. If you disagree, state clearly what part you disagree with and then lay out reasons why. Be respectful, we're all truth seekers here and that requires the interchange of ideas. If someone disagrees with you, don't take it personally. Try to learn from the other person.

There is relation of Professor Ariely’s results with the discussion of values and attitudes in Chapter 2 in the sense that choices have to be made by individuals doing business or consuming products and/or services from an organization. There can be small meanings/reasons/factors for which changes can be found in attitudes or behavioral patterns by customers or even by employees of diversified types of organizations. Everything valued by every customer must be known by every manager to be considered as a good manager.
