Overview
This assignment requires a three-page literature review and measures your mastery of ULOs 2.1 and 4.2.
This literature review is a continuation of the Unit III assignment, as you will conduct further research of the two leadership theories you compared, specifically how they relate to motivation, satisfaction, and performance.
Select two of the following motivational theories:
- X and Y Theory of Motivation
- Hierarchy of Needs
- Motivation-Hygiene (Two-Factor) Theory
- Theory of Need
- Self-Determination Theory
- Goal-Setting Theory
- Expectancy Theory
- Equity Theory
Complete the following:
- Explain the elements of the two motivational theories selected.
- Establish a connection between the two motivational theories selected and the leadership theories selected in the previous unit.
- Elaborate on how the connection can inform real-world solutions and how this research can enhance leadership and leadership decisions.
Critically evaluate the sources used in the review that address your selected leadership theories. Briefly explain how you evaluated your sources for credibility such as the credentials of the researchers, the evidence of peer reviews, and the fidelity of the research-design principles. Explain how each source is valuable to the study of leadership.
Your completed literature review must be a minimum of three pages in length. Include an introduction, and utilize at least three outside sources from the databases located in the CSU Online Library. You may use the same resources as Unit III, but this is not a requirement.
Ensure your sources are high quality, such as peer-reviewed articles and empirical studies (quantitative and qualitative), published within the last 5 years.
Apply level 1 and 2 headings. Adhere to APA Style when constructing this assignment, including in-text citations and references for all sources that are used. Please note that no abstract is needed.
