You are to produce a 2,500 word academic essay addressing 1 of the following questions:

3. Employees are responsible for their own motivation at work. Critically discuss this statement using examples and theories explored in the module.
Task specific guidance:
- You should only answer 1 question.
- An understanding of theories is needed. Refer back to your asynchronous and synchronous sessions where you have covered key issues and developed critical writing skills that are relevant to the requirement of this assessment.
- Read widely from journal articles, textbooks and online sources. It is expected that you will support your arguments with academic sources where appropriate.
- Work closely with the module content. Avoid description of the content of material referred to - critical discussion is required.
- Your work should be presented as an academic essay and as such should not include numbered headings, bullet points or illustrations.
