1. Define motivation. What is the basic model for considering the role of motivation in performance? (hint: looks like a mathematical formula) Then, summarize how personality factors have become more important in the study of motivation. Include specific personality traits that have been studied and how they link to motivation.
--Motivation concerns the conditions responsible for variations in intensity, persistence, quality, and direction of ongoing behavior. Performance= (motivation X ability) - situational constraints. Two personality traits that have been studied in regards to motivation are neuroticism and conscientiousness. Strong and consistent relationships have been shown between motivation and personality and it has been found that …show more content…
Facet satisfaction is the information related to specific facets or elements of job satisfaction. I would say that facet satisfaction is an important measure to look at because you could enjoy the majority of your job, but there could be elements that make you uncomfortable or unhappy.

Some advantages are about the worker’s psychological and economic well-being. Workers who have worked via telecommuting have reported higher strategic planning skills as well as higher self-reports of productivity.

Even with the possible negative side effects of telecommuting, such as feelings of alienation due to lack of face-to-face interactions, there are many positive outcomes that could happen because of telecommuting. From personal experience, my aunt was allowed to try out telecommuting for her job as it was a far drive everyday for her to go into work. It was easier for her to do most of her work from home via email and online databases and only go into work for meetings with clients or other large projects with co-workers. For her, it was the best possible solution because she was still able to interact with co-workers via Skype if it was necessary and it allowed her to stay at home and get things done while helping take care of her grandchildren. I think that it is important to I-O Psychology for some people because some people work better in places that they feel comfortable in. Also, being allowed to get things done on their terms in a place that they feel comfortable may lead to
