Planned motivation

These are a form of planned motivation, the main objectives being that of providing motivation by identifying the targets which can be rewarded if achieved, and by making the rewards meaningful and desirable to the people involved. Any planned motivation scheme should always be viewed with care, however, in that it may alter behaviour, in order to win the rewards, but not necessarily attitudes. Safety incentive schemes are most effective from a health and safety viewpoint where ...

Part of the planning should include the evaluation of test uncertainty. This evaluation can be limited to a common sense approach based on available instrumentation and the locations relative to the ideal. A more sophisticated study can be made in which instrumentation accuracy and the impact of any inaccuracy on the measured parameters is evaluated. This is a complex task with the need being based on the motivation for the test. If the test is being performed to settle a dispute, a formal understanding of the uncertainty should be developed. Methods for evaluation of test uncertainty are found in ANSI/ASME PTC 19.1 [11].

Considerable attention has been focused on the kind of motives which drive the decisions and choices of individuals in a work setting. An influential model of motivation was the "scientific management" movement of F. W. Taylor (1911) which viewed motivation largely in terms of rational individual decisions to maximize financial gain. This theory claimed that workers only wanted to make as much as possible for as little effort as possible, and that they were neither interested in, nor capable of planning and decision- making. 

With the opening of the transmission network to all resource suppliers, many marketing entities entered the game in the mid-1990s. Many of these marketers are subsidiaries of already established gas suppliers. Some have been created solely for the electric industry. Still others have been formed from the utilities themselves. All of these etitities arc competition-motivated. Facility planning and reliability issues, while important to their business, are left to other organizations. 

A patient must have motivation (having the desire or seeing the need) to learn. Motivation depends on the patient s perception of the need to learn. Education concerning the disease process may be necessary for the patient to become motivated to learn. Encouraging patient participation in planning realistic and attainable goals also promotes motivation. If the patient has no motivation, he or she is likely to be noncompliant. 

One most often undertakes kinetic studies to develop an understanding of the reaction mechanism. Other motives sometimes apply one can learn about the stability, or shelf life, of a material and the practicality of preparing a given substance in the laboratory or commercially. This book is directed toward individuals who wish to be able to read in their own fields of interest the scientific literature that uses these techniques for the study of chemical reactions and the deduction of their mechanisms. It is also intended to be of use to those who plan to undertake these studies on their own. 

From the contents of the teachers reflective diaries, the following differences in the lessons provided could be observed (1) Some teachers added extra exercises in knowledge consohdation, (2) some teachers left out particular activities, (3) some teachers adjusted the duration of particular sections (Fig. 13.2), (4) teachers used different motivational approaches to facilitate learning, e.g. students were rewarded with marks for their success in the Test of Gained Knowledge at the School N° 4. The duration of particular parts of the teaching plan is given in Fig. 13.2. 

Motivational enhancement therapy begins with the assumption that the capacity for change lies within the patient. The therapist and patient then work together to design a plan to implement treatment goals. The findings suggest that this may be... 

Without openly questioning Ilgner s motives, the Swedish industrialists in 1933 understood that the big danger of war lay not in the hearts of bellicose Nazis who didn t want to export. Without selling abroad at this time, Germany wouldn t have the goods to plan a war. The real danger lay in the alliance between the Nazis and industrialists. 

This was not the first time that "collapse" had reoriented the motives of powerful men. When all of Czechoslovakia was occupied, Professor Krauch s report to the general counsel of the Four Year Plan left no doubt that he knew war was coming, he knew who would attack, and his real fear was that the attacker might lose. This report was made in June 1939. 

The big players in the chemical industry have developed very powerful company-specific ERP systems (enterprise resource planning earlier this type of system was denoted as production planning and control) since the 1960s. The growing costs to maintain and adapt these systems have motivated the move to integrated standard business software systems in the last decade. The majority of the big chemical companies use SAP R/3 resp. SAP ERP from SAP AG other well-known solution vendors include Marcam (now part of Infor) and JD Edwards (now part of PeopleSoft resp. Oracle). 

Finally, treatment plans can be used to motivate clients to reach their personal goals for therapy or treatment. Remind the client of what he or she wants from treatment in order to reinstill a sense of commitment to the plans. However, do so in a disarming and nonjudgmental fashion so as not to risk a defensive response. Questions as simple as, What are your reasons for continuing with treatment or What do you want from therapy may be enough to remind the client of the reasons she or he committed to this course. 

A strategy that can be used to renew commitment to the posttreatment recovery plan is called the decision matrix. The decision matrix is quite similar to a prosand-cons list used when a client or potential client is in the contemplation stage of change to enhance motivation. This strategy is particularly useful to challenge the rise of positive expectancies during a chain of events that place the client at risk for a lapse. 

Relapse prevention for clients with psychiatric conditions must include treatment of the comorbid conditions in order to be effective. This generally means developing a collaborative relationship with a psychiatrist if the treatment includes pharmacotherapy. The relapse plan must provide checks on adherence to the treatment of the comorbid condition, and if adherence is a problem, then motivation...
