Why do people behave the way they do at work, and how can managers guide that behavior toward achieving organizational goals? This webinar explores the role of motivation in the workplace and how managers can apply motivational principles to support employee engagement and performance.

The session introduces both classic and contemporary motivation theories that explain why employees invest effort in their work. Participants will gain insights into key perspectives such as Self-Determination Theory, Expectancy Theory, and Goal-Setting Theory, and learn how these frameworks help explain motivation, persistence, and performance in organizational settings.

The webinar will also focus on practical applications for managers. It will discuss strategies such as designing meaningful tasks, providing constructive and developmental feedback, and structuring work environments that support employees’ psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and purpose.

By connecting research on motivation with everyday management practices, this webinar highlights how evidence-based approaches can help organizations improve performance while also promoting employee well-being and long-term engagement. This webinar is presented by Dr. Mirit Grabarski, Ph.D., MBA, Assistant Professor, Business Administration, Lakehead University.
