Discussion 1
Discussion Overview
You looked at motivation theories in the Learning Activities. Now you will practice applying these theories to real life.
Based on your review of the Learning Activities address the topic questions:
Topic: Motivation
· What are your motivators to work?
· If you had to list your motivators in order, what would this look like? Explain.
· Do you think that your family members or siblings are motivated by the same motivators and in the same order? Why or why not?
Discussion 2
Topic 2: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
CSR involvement by employers affects employee job satisfaction according to research (Robbins & Judge, 2019). Many job hunters are looking for employers who address the triple bottom line of profit, the consideration of people, and the environment. Do some research on the Internet on socially responsible companies.
· Share a company name and the URL that provides evidence of addressing the triple bottom line.
· Explain: What, if any expectations does the employer put on employees to contribute to the company’s social responsibility? Are the expectations motivating or not? [Note: The latter may be a guess, but you should justify your statement with the research on this subject from your text in Chapter 3].

Journal Assignment: Motivation at Didi
Applying motivation theory to the workplace can assist you in motivating others whether working in your community, working with colleagues, or leading a group or team. In this Journal, you will apply motivation concepts to a real world company leader to look at how motivation affects decision-making.

Then respond to the following questions in a minimum of 250 words in a Word® document with the course number, section number, and name at the top. The short paper should be double-spaced, with Times New Roman 12-point type.
