Assignment 1: Theoretical Foundation for Research Paper (Major Assessment)

A Graphic Model for Theoretical Foundation

The model below is a representational illustrational that visually depicts the concept and theory.

Job features, engagement, Job satisfaction, competency (confidence), level of engagement

Performance

Motivation

The above graphic model for the theoretical foundation of my research paper consists of Antecedents and consequences. Antecedents trigger motivation in which the motivation determines the performance (Losh, 2017). When nurses feel satisfied at the workplace, they get motivated to perform high. For instance, increased motivation leads to increased performance. Increased engagement, competency, and good job features such as modern working equipment put morale for performing better. Primarily, good job features such as a reasonable working environment and flexible working schedule lead to high motivation.

I would add the word antecedents to the first oval on the left, list the defining attributes to the center oval, and add the word consequence to the last oval.  I would add a plus sign to the last arrow - increased motivation leads to increased performance or decreased motivation leads to decreased performance. 

Where is theory depicted?

Please attach the theory oval to graphic.

Theory

path-goal theory and Victor Vroom's expectancy theory
