Question

The goal of healthcare organizations is to provide quality care to their patients. In doing so, healthcare organizations must ensure that they are properly staffed with adequate and knowledgeable human capital. A current challenge in healthcare is retaining, motivating, and engaging staff in order to impact ongoing retention, productivity, and performance. Develop a motivational strategy to reduce turnover in either the physician or nursing sector. Explore 1 of 4 theories (expectancy theory, equity theory, goal-setting theory, and a four-prong model of intrinsic motivation) that can be utilized to support the creation of this strategy and detail how this strategy will impact turnover.

Answer 1

Ans

Expectncy theory proposes that an individual will behave or act in a certain way because they are motivated to select a specific behavior over others due to what they expect the result of that selected behavior will be.

Equity theory is based in the idea that individuals are motivated by fairness, and if they identify inequities in the input or output ratios of themselves and their referent group, they will seek to adjust their input to reach their perceived equity

Goal-setting theory of motivation states that specific and challenging goals along with appropriate feedback contribute to higher and better task performance

four-prong model of intrinsic motivation includes sense of choice, competence, meaningfulness, and progress
