BHVS215 Motivation and Emotion
This course addresses the critical aspects of emotion and motivation in the real world of work. Even though most literature on work focuses on thought rather than feeling, people do not leave their human needs and emotions at the door when they come to work. Building on the work of Maslow, Herzberg and McClelland, the course examines human needs, satisfiers versus motivators and how people differ in what energizes them and how they experience and deal with emotions. What are the roots, functions and psychological explanations for emotions in human beings? The course examines comparative perspectives on these questions. Psychological insight into what motivates others will help each professional in our program understand and respect the drives and needs of the people they work with, rather than project their own values onto others.
