Granted, younger workers are more competitively-minded than their older counterparts and more comfortable with job insecurity in exchange for higher salaries. But NOM cannot advance within Japan simply using younger salespersons. It cannot afford to fire all long-standing, older employees who might not feel motivated by a more Americanized system.

Motivation Methods The success, performance, as well as development of an employee are influenced by motivation. There are numerous methods and theories on motivation. McClelland, for instance, in his theory expresses that each employee has specific needs acquired over time based on life's experiences.

The authors argue that the intentional behavior model explains the cognitive effects of goals which
