Welcome to the seventh of our seven-part video series on "Effectance: The Key to Motivation." Effectance motivation is a relatively new theory. It’s based on the premise that there’s a fundamental, underlying force that’s linked to job satisfaction, job enrichment, and individual motivation. It’s suggested that, once basic physical needs are satisfied, there’s a drive to have an effect on your environment, through your own efforts. In this video lesson, you will learn a number of tips to start making the workplace more motivating for you and your co-workers, and also how to use your knowledge of effectance to maximize the motivational benefits of what people do.
