How to Motivate Martin? Martin is an advertising copywriter who works in the recorded music division of Mediaplex's
marketing department. Martin is a hard worker and his work performance has been very good. His most recent work project involves writing direct mail letters to current and potential customers regarding new music (both live and recorded) being marketed by Mediaplex. He also sends coupons for discounts on the new music along with the direct mail letters. Recently, however, he seems to have lost interest in his work. The number of letters and coupons he mails out in a week is falling.
As manager of the recorded music marketing division, you have dealt with other instances of declining employee work productivity by using different incentives to motivate employees such as time off, verbal recognition, flexible hours, and free entertainment passes to Mediaplex events. You try these with Martin, but he does not respond. His work productivity continues to be below expectations. Following Mediaplex policy, you also have kept written documentation of your actions to improve this situation. What would you do next? (Keep in mind the culture of Mediaplex and remember that the marketing department is one of the most aggressive and flexible units in the company).
Expectancy Theory
1) How hard do I have to work?
2) What are the chances of reaching the goal?
3) How attractive is the goal?
