Hi, Brian! It sounds like you have some very interesting pastimes that help you relax, unwind, and recharge. I appreciate you sharing a bit about yourself and find it inspiring to see someone who has obviously been successful in life taking the same class I am taking. It makes me think I am doing something right by being here, since others like you who have already come such a long way in life are here with me. Hopefully, we can all learn a little from each other. Like you, I look forward to learning how to read people more effectively and learning how to motivate people using I/O psychology. One of the important principles I have learned about human motivation in the past, at least according to Maslow’s (1943) theory of the needs hierarchy is that the goal is to get people to be self-motivated, i.e., self-actualizing. The way you get them there is by helping them to meet their lower level needs, such as the need for shelter, food, security; higher up the rung of needs are friendship, love, and esteem. Once those have all been met one is able to move on towards becoming self-motivated because one is no longer dependent upon external incentives.

I would like to wish I was that motivated to go to school, but I am here primarily because I want to use this course for my own work in management. I want to be able to lead well and understand all the different ways to motivate people. I have read that Rogers (1951) believed people are best motivated and happiest when their ideal self and their self-image overlap and there is congruence between the two. That is an idea I would like to explore more deeply and I wonder if we will go over it at some point in this class as it is surely interesting.

Motivation According to one of the most famous scholars on the subject of motivation, motivation comes from the desire to satisfy first the basic needs within a hierarchical system; then moving from physiological means to self-actualization. This motivation moves from the more basic to advanced psychological levels by adding onto basic needs more emotional, then intellectual needs that allow the human being to capture concepts that are far more detailed, less
The benefits of high-quality relationships come from relational resources (Wright, et al. 2005) they create. Such resources include durable obligations (e.g., arising from feelings of gratitude, respect, and friendship), network contacts and connections (including privileged access to information and opportunities, social status, and reputation of influential others), and the ability to have open information exchanges with those around them (Valle & Halling, 1989). Relationships that do not develop so well are
