Describe a situation/scenario in which you were not motivated at work (or ask a friend/family member for a situation if you can't come up with one). Explain with enough detail so I can understand the scenario.

Next, pretend you are your manager in the situation (you are the manager dealing with an unmotivated employee) and identify a way in which motivation could have been increased by giving meaning to work through engagement via one of the three ways identified in section 12-7b. Be specific with what this would look like in the scenario.
