You own a growing construction company. You employ Senior and Junior Project Managers. You would like some of your current Project Managers to obtain their PMP (Project Management Professional) designation. You are willing to pay the financial cost of the certification exam. However, they would need to invest significant personal time (dozens of hours of studying) outside of work hours to study and prepare for the exam. You aren't sure that your Project Managers would be willing to invest their personal time but are not able to excuse them from work to study - you need them to be actually working during their work time.

Focus on applying the theory, describing steps you would take to motivate your Project Managers to obtain their designation, and explaining why you would take those steps.

1) How would you motivate your Project Managers to obtain PMP designations by applying Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs theory?

2) How would motivate your Project Managers to obtain PMP designations by applying Herzberg's Hygiene-Motivator theory?

3) How would you motivate your Project Managers to obtain PMP designations by applying Expectancytheory?

4) How would you motivate your Project Managers to obtain PMP designations by applying Goal Setting theory?
