thank you very much for sharing your analysis. Your research area in industrial and
organizational psychology is very fascinating and I would be very interested in learning
about the results of the study regarding the relationship between satisfaction and
performance—these results will have so much relevant and interesting application to a
plethora of real-world scenarios in multiple domains. Additionally, I thought it was very
interesting how going through this course you were able to further refine your definition
of motivation, incorporating elements of the Grand Narrative, specifically regarding
creation and the restoration of a balance of an individual that has strayed off course and
needs to be redeemed (Wolters, 2005). As you pointed out, employers that embrace the
Grand Narrative can work to create a positive environment for their employees, allowing
them to thrive and maximize their full potentiation, thereby restoring their intended state
of creation, as nature intended (Wolters, 2005). As you noted, strategies such as conflict
resolution and guiding individuals into a direction of a positive state of mind are
essential to achieving this ideal state and hence restoring motivation and a positive
balance in an environment. Your approach to your research is multi-pronged and
incorporates many modes for collecting information such as surveys and observation,
which will allow for cross-checking of results and further validation of the veracity of the
findings. I wish you the best of luck in your future studies and helping others understand
how to achieve greater motivation in the workplace and in other aspects of life.
