Motivation

Motivation

• seeks to cause action so triggers activity
• is manipulative
• incidental activity
  
• has been replaced by latest buzz word 'engagement'{Marcum, 1999}

The Marcum paper is interesting because it identifies problems with motivation (paternalistic, manipulative, employees not partners) and needing replacing. Marcum suggests engagement theory might replace the concept.
