This learning journal focuses on organizational behavior in general and how the relevant literature can help human resource professionals better understand how and why people behave the way they do in the workplace to identify opportunities for improvement and to formulate best practices. To develop the learning journal, a series of learning episodes are described in response to various readings from peer-reviewed journal articles concerning employee motivation and its effect on organizational performance that have specific relevance to these issues. These learning episodes are followed by a description of the key inputs and outcomes that resulted and why these are regarded as important to learning as a human resource professional. A feedback and reflection section is followed by a discussion of the outcomes and new learning that took place, and how these can be used as a foundation for further personal growth and areas for additional research. Finally, a summary of the research for the learning journal and important findings are presented in a concluding comments section.
