Faculty Seminar

Program Details

Leaders must motivate their employees to work hard, in ways that advance the mission of their enterprise. To this end, managers typically rely on "carrots" (pay, bonuses, perks) as means of motivation. But, as we have learned in recent months, the number of carrots that companies have at their disposal is rapidly dwindling. Now managers must somehow learn to motivate their employees with other, more cost-effective, means.

In this session, you will learn about alternative "psychological levers" that can help build employee motivation-tools that truly motivate employees without wasteful spending. We will discuss a framework for thinking about "intrinsic motivation" and consider exemplars from successful organizations that have used these psychological principles to rethink and improve their own motivational strategies.

Frank Flynn's research focuses on interpersonal relations in organizations. In particular, he studies psychological issues that most managers confront on a regular basis (motivation, decision making, influence). His work bridges the fields of management and social psychology, leading to scholarly as well as practical insights on organizational life.
