Part1
Introduction
The managers in a company are challenged continuously for motivating the workforce
to perform activities. The major challenge is to motivate the employees for working
towards helping the organization for achieving the goals. Meeting the needs and then
achieving the desired goals is difficult for the managers. In the company like Walmart,
the employees need to work in a collaborative manner with delivering and paying for
care. The motivation is a set of force that initiate, direct and makes the people persistent
to make efforts. The intrinsic rewards are achieved by motivation that is driven by
interests or enjoyment in a particular task.
Assessing the context like industry
Vroom works on higher points which are related to inferences, motivation that is
considered an invisible process. The managers are seen to come and be able to
motivate the people for controlling the circumstances. The industry needs to work on
handling the people with skills and abilities to offer prospects that are considered
important needs for satisfying the people (Rollinson, 2008). The main aim is to focus on
the processes which are for the external and internal development of an individual. The
consequences of the organization operating without any purpose of motivation leads
towards its employees with catastrophic outlook. In the companies like Walmart, there is
a need to focus on driving employees towards achieving the goals and the
organizational development. Walmart focus on the motivation with proper outcomes that
requires to ensure about the job satisfaction. This includes the content, contemporary
and the process theories which are for working towards explaining the expectancy
theory by Vroom (Lloyd & Mertens, 2018). Walmart deals in retail industry sector was
started in 1962, with operations in 11200 stores in 27 countries. There are more than
2.2 million associates in different parts of the world and they are increasing every year
(Walmart, 2018).
