Then review chapter 5 regarding motivation.  Understanding motivation is important because compensation, turnover, and other HR concerns are related to it.  Chapter 5 also outlines four theories (Need, Two-Factor, Expectancy, and Equity) that concentrate on intrinsic and extrinsic factors. 

Assignment:

• After watching Daniel Pink's video, research motivational factors and align one of the theories that you believe aligns with the video.
