Module 2- Management Strategies


Motivational strategies are very important to individuals in the working field. People should be rewarded for their behavior that is acceptable, and which can also enhance performance and motivate them. This article was very interesting to me title reads “Friendly workplace linked to longer life”. Researchers at Tel Aviv University found that people who felt that they had the support of their colleagues and generally positive social interactions at work were less likely to die over a 20-year period than those who reported a less friendly work environment (O'Connor, 2011). Studies have proven that getting along with your colleagues at work may do more than boost your productivity, and can extend your life.

A stressful job can cause a person to become mentally, physically, and emotionally unstable. The manger should have some type of organizational behavior to see how people act in the organizations to improve employee’s behavior. One thing they noticed was that the risk was only affected by a person’s relationship with his or her peers, and not with that person’s supervisors. The way people viewed their relationships with their bosses had no impact on mortality (O’Connor, 2011). I certainly believe that a lack of a relationship with co-workers over a period of time can cause a person to be unhappy and withdrawal from their workplace. You can live longer if you are enjoying life and it’s filled with happiness.
