Imagine that you have successfully completed your degree and you are now in a leadership position at your dream job. Everything is going well but, your team is now having issues with motivation in the workplace. They have begun to slack on some of their responsibilities and are not as productive as they used to be. The lack of motivation could be for many different reasons, but you are not exactly sure why. After work, you begin to research different theories of motivation and brainstorm solutions to get your team back on track.

Find one peer-reviewed journal article related to motivation and report your findings to your team members in an email. The goal of the email is to encourage them with your research findings and provide some solutions to help motivate them in the workplace. Remember when writing emails in the workplace it is important to have email etiquette, write in a professional manner, and always proofread your message to avoid errors before you press send.
