Answer 1

The element of function of management used by the CEO is Wofivatiod. This is because as per the travel policy of the company subordinates were not acting in a desired manner to achieve organisational goals. An employee does not act in a desired manner when he feels demotivated. But a change in travel policy had a positive impact on employees and they start acting in a manner desired by the leader which is possible only with the help of motivation.
The following points highlight the features of motivation.
1. Is an inherent feeling: Motivation is a feeling that is inherent to an employee. For instance, needs, desires, wants and ambitions are internal to individuals and directly influence their behaviour to work in a certain manner.
2. Leads to goal-oriented behaviour Motivation influences the behaviour of the employees and induces them to work efficiently towards the achievement of the goals of the organisation.
3. Can be both positive and negative Positive motivations can take the form of rewards, incentives or promotions. On the other hand, negative motivation can be in the form of warning or demotion. The kind of motivations to be followed depends on the needs and attitudes of the employee.
4. Is a complicated process: Human behaviour is complex. An organisation comprises numerous individuals who have different desires, expectations and attitudes. This implies that motivation also varies from one individual to another, making the process highly complicated.
