organization to achieve the desired level of success.
2. Assumptions and limitations:
The readers while reading the article need to take into account the nature of the organization in

Part B:
Question 1:
Management theory is different from other proven theories and do not have any permanent scientific
formula which will work in different situations in different kinds of organizations. The reason is simple
management is primarily responsible for carrying the operations of the business in an orderly manner to
achieve the desired outcome. Organizations work under different political, financial, economic
environment; hence, it is not possible to develop a universally accepted theory which will work under all
these different conditions and situations. Depending on the needs of the organization mangers will have
to find the suitable way to manage the operations of the business.
Question 2:
Maslows theory explains the human needs; from basic human needs to the needs which comes after
the fulfillment of basic needs. Considering the importance of basic necessity to live a dignified life,
mangers will encourage employees to carry out their work in best possible manner in order to earn the
livelihood. Needs are never ending once basic needs are satisfied employees will be concerned about
the safety needs; these are mainly relating to safe area to live in, availability of medical facilities,
assurance in retaining the job etc. Making friends, importance of love will also be felt by the employees
after the above, and then comes the need for respect and justice, wisdom.
Question 5:
Five search words or terms are following:
Motivational interviewing.
Impetus.
Thesis on employee behavior.
Peer review.
Inspiring employees.

Conclusion: During the compilation of the project we have understood the immense importance of
managers in operating the business of an organization. The project also introduced us with the Maslows
theory on management which recognizes the human needs exist at different levels and the role that
mangers play in aligning these needs with the objectives of an organization.

Part B:
Question 1:
Management theory is different from other proven theories and do not have any permanent scientific
formula which will work in different situations in different kinds of organizations. The reason is simple
management is primarily responsible for carrying the operations of the business in an orderly manner to
achieve the desired outcome (Miner, 1971). Organizations work under different political, financial,
economic environment; hence, it is not possible to develop a universally accepted theory which will
work under all these different conditions and situations. Depending on the needs of the organization
mangers will have to find the suitable way to manage the operations of the business.
Question 2:
Maslows theory explains the human needs; from basic human needs to the needs which comes after
the fulfillment of basic needs. Considering the importance of basic necessity to live a dignified life,
mangers will encourage employees to carry out their work in best possible manner in order to earn the

assurance in retaining the job etc. Making friends, importance of love will also be felt by the employees
after the above, and then comes the need for respect and justice, wisdom.
Question-3:
In Dan Pink said in his Ted Talk, rewards can be effective for those set of tasks for which rules are simple
and if it can be followed clearly. If the work is challenging and requires creative solutions then rules are
utterly bewildering and the solution if exists, will not be satisfactory, it will be surprising and will not be
obvious. The performance cannot be improved in such situation.
If rewards are offered for performing creative tasks then it will ultimately damage the performance
again and again and it is the most forceful finding in social science (Wlodkowski, 1982).
Question-4
Thesis statement indicates a short statement, summarizes the key factors or claim of a research paper,
essay, etc.
According to Maslows theory, manager motivates employees into two ways, intrinsic (includes when
employee seek interest, satisfaction of curiosity, etc) and extrinsic (includes employee engage in the
work to obtain organizational goal) (Walsh, 1968.
Question 5:
Five search words or terms are following:
Motivational interviewing.
Impetus.
Thesis on employee behavior.
Peer review.
Inspiring employees.
Question 6:
Following journals will help in further examination:
1. Employees Motivation in organizations: An interactive literature review.
2. Peer review practices of psychological journals by Douglas P. Peters and Stephen J. Ceci.
Question 7:
1. Worker motivation is an individual and transactional process. (From Employees Motivation in
organizations: An interactive literature review).
2. The environment under which the employees works affect their psychology (from Peer
review practices of psychological journals by Douglas P. Peters and Stephen J. Ceci.)

Conclusion: During the compilation of the project we have understood the immense importance of
managers in operating the business of an organization (Bindra & Stewart, 1971). The project also introduced
us with the Maslows theory on management which recognizes the human needs exist at different levels
and the role that mangers play in aligning these needs with the objectives of an organization.
