Unit 3 

Employee Motivations in the Workplace

Teacher Script: "Assalamu Alaikum, class. As we look at the incredible growth of the UAE and our nation’s vision for excellence in the private sector, we must ask ourselves what drives that progress. I want you to look at your own habits today. Do you work hard? Think of a project or a subject where you always give your best effort.

Now, ask yourself: What makes you want to work hard? In the business world, we call this 'reason' motivation. As the source tells us, people have needs and take action to meet those needs. Understanding those needs is the first step toward building a successful company."

• To discuss the advantages of motivated employees.
  
• To discuss the disadvantages of unmotivated employees.
