In Chapter 9, you learned about many different theories regarding why employees are motivated to perform well. Although none of these theories have been fully supported, each has something to offer. For this week’s assignment, in a Word document formatted as an academic essay and using APA formatting, develop the following topics:
1. What are three (3) of the strongest motivational theories/techniques for increasing employee motivation?
2. How do they increase motivation? And why are they the strongest?
3. What are three (3) of the weakest employee motivation theories/techniques that actually decrease motivation?
4. How do they decrease motivation? And why are they the weakest?
5. Based on the various theories you have read, develop your own theory of motivation and job satisfaction. Feel free to draw from any of the theories discussed in your textbook and your research (be sure to cite any theories that are not your own).
Your paper should be at least 400 words, but it can be as long as you need.

NOTE: SafeAssignment:
Before submitting your assignment in the Assignment Box, you must review it using SafeAssignment, located in the left-hand column of your webpage. The Cover Page section. Once you obtain the similarity score for your work, click on “Originality” in the upper left corner. This page will show you the similarity score and the sources from which you copied and pasted the information. You must copy and paste this entire report (which is your own report) into a Word document, which you will submit in the Assignment Box along with your Weekly Assignment.
If the similarity score is more than 20%, you will have to redo the work without copying and pasting direct concepts from the author(s), even if you have formatted your citations according to APA style. You must make an effort to use your own words and ideas based on your understanding of the book or articles consulted after reading them, and cite the original sources from which you obtained the information perfectly in APA format, so that the similarity score is less than 20%.
If the similarity score is less than 20%, it is an acceptable limit, and the work will be ready to be submitted to the instructor.
