A large manufacturing company has recently encountered problems with employees under-producing, and thus not meeting quarterly targets. They have hired you as a consultant to increase employee motivation and productivity. Drawing on the expectancy model of motivation, describe three pieces of information you must know about the incentive system at this company in order to understand what is undermining employee motivation. Then, describe one way you could effectively improve each of these three key links in the model to boost motivation (i.e., provide three total improvements), and in turn performance.
