Mastering motivational theories.
Abstract
Management students often find motivation theories confusing, challenging to grasp, and difficult to apply to real-world situations. Often, students are reluctant to take basic motivation theories seriously, because students perceive them as "unrealistic." Therefore, motivation theories are best illustrated by example. We detail an exercise, grounded in active and experiential learning theory, that requires students to identify, perform, and explain a memorable situation when a motivational theory is revealed in their daily lives. The result is increased relevance, critical thinking, retention, and engagement.
